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.

By 2030, etisalat group plans to lift its international connectivity capacity to more than 500 terabits per second (Tbps), more than 25 times the 20 Tbps it has today. The group presented the expansion as preparation for rising AI demand and an important move for the UAE’s digital sovereignty.

His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, witnessed the launch of the project, which covers the UAE and international markets. Sheikh Mansour is also Chairman of the Emirates Investment Authority, etisalat group’s main shareholder.

He emphasized the role of coordinated national efforts in advancing the UAE’s AI and digital economy ambitions. “AI is a central pillar in our development journey moving forward,” he said, adding that developing the country’s digital capabilities would empower every institution, public and private, to build and innovate with AI “at the scale the coming decade will demand”.

“This project reflects our conviction that the UAE should not simply adopt AI, but govern it and build with it,” said H.E Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of etisalat group. “That requires digital infrastructure at a scale that would prepare us for the future”. He cast greater international connectivity as a strategic answer to the challenges of processing and moving data globally.

Beyond raw bandwidth, the expansion will introduce new connectivity routes intended to improve reliability and efficiency, and Alzaabi tied them directly to the sovereignty goal. “Delivered through diversified routes and low-latency design, the project is set to keep the country’s connection to the global digital economy fast, direct and resilient, while ensuring the UAE’s digital sovereignty,” he said.

He also linked the plan to the group’s 50-year commitment to building infrastructure for the nation. The announcement didn’t mention what the expansion will cost. Nor did it name the new routes or say who will build them, the details that would show what digital sovereignty means in practice.
