eufy's new 360 degree 4k camera doesn't require wifi or mains power

Anker’s Eufy division has unveiled the S330, a feature-packed and fully self-sufficient 4K security camera offering a full 360-degree field of view, with pan up to 344 degrees and tilt capabilities of 70 degrees. What sets the device apart is its ability to operate autonomously without the need for Wi-Fi or conventional power sources, a feature the company touts as “off-the-grid freedom”.

Priced at $249.99, the Eufy 4G LTE Cam S330 utilizes LTE (4G) connectivity, bypassing the necessity for Wi-Fi by tapping into nearby cell towers. In addition, it features a removable solar panel, requiring just two hours of sunlight to sustain its 36.2Wh battery. With a battery life of up to one month on a single charge, it remains operational even in adverse or overcast weather conditions.

The S330 effectively addresses previous concerns with LTE-enabled cameras, offering versatile installation options for both urban and remote settings. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures (-4 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit) and equipped with AI-powered detection for vehicles and humans, it also ensures minimal false alarms.

Additionally, the S330 incorporates a 100-lumen spotlight for illumination and supports two-way audio, alarm activation, and voice control via Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Local storage of up to eight months’ worth of recordings is facilitated by a 32GB microSD card, with expansion options up to 128 GB.

Eufy claims there are no activation fees or contracts for utilizing the camera’s SIM card facility, but users will need to pay for any data used after the initial 100MB trial has been used up. Apparently, the S330 uses an average of 700 MB a month, which is definitely something you’ll want to factor in before making a purchase.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
