Anker has just unveiled the EufyCam S3 Pro, now up for pre-order globally. This latest model marks a significant upgrade as it’s the first Eufy security camera since 2020 to support Apple HomeKit, bringing it in line with modern smart home needs. Not only does it integrate seamlessly with Apple HomeKit, but it also supports HomeKit Secure Video when linked with an iCloud+ plan, making it a versatile choice for different smart home ecosystems. Additionally, the camera is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, providing a wide range of smart home integration options.
The EufyCam S3 Pro comes equipped with a powerful 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor, offering a f/1.0 lens and a wide 135° field of view. It records in stunning 4K UHD resolution at 15 frames per second. While the frame rate might be lower than some security cameras, the clarity and detail it captures more than make up for it. One standout feature is MaxColor Vision, an AI-based tool that delivers color images at night without requiring an LED light. This ensures that nighttime footage is as clear and colorful as possible.
In terms of security capabilities, the S3 Pro camera features radar and PIR motion detection with a range of approximately 39 feet. Users can set specific security zones tailored to their preferences, enhancing the camera’s effectiveness. It also boasts two-way communication, facial recognition technology, and a 105dB siren for an added layer of security.
Storage is managed by connecting the camera to the HomeBase S380, which provides 16 GB of storage, expandable up to 1 TB. This flexibility ensures you won’t run out of storage space, regardless of the amount of footage you capture.
A major convenience of the EufyCam S3 Pro is its wireless operation, powered by a robust 13,000mAh battery and an integrated solar panel. With just one hour of direct sunlight daily, the camera promises an ‘endless’ power supply. For those looking to optimize placement, you can connect additional solar panels; alternatively, it can be powered via USB-C.
With its release set for October 10th, the EufyCam S3 Pro is now available for pre-order. Anker is offering an attractive deal for early birds: pre-order by October 9th to receive a 15% discount and a complimentary Eufy video doorbell, which typically retails for €79. This offer adds significant value, making it a compelling choice for anyone looking to bolster their home security setup.
