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.

stake powers instant payouts with checkout.com pay to card

Stake, a leading digital real estate investment platform, has unveiled Pay to Card, a next-generation withdrawal feature built on Checkout.com’s global payment infrastructure. The integration enables investors to have dividends and returns credited directly to their bank cards — often within minutes — dramatically reducing the traditional multi-day payout process.

After a successful pilot in May involving over 200 users, some investors reported receiving their funds in under 10 minutes. Ricardo Brizido, CPTO and Co-Founder of Stake, emphasized the importance of speed and reliability: “With Pay to Card, we’re eliminating unnecessary delays and putting returns in our investors’ hands almost instantly. This feature was built to directly solve one of the most common pain points in real estate investing, and it’s already driving strong results”.

The feature launch coincides with rapid growth in real-time finance across the Middle East. Checkout.com’s “State of Digital Commerce in MENA 2025” report highlights a 388% year-on-year surge in Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) in the UAE, reflecting strong demand for immediate payout solutions. The same study recorded a 176% increase in total processing volume from 2023 to 2024 and noted that daily online transactions have jumped 320% since 2020.

Since its 2021 debut, Stake has facilitated over AED 1 billion in property transactions, advancing its mission to democratize real estate investment in high-growth markets. By integrating Pay to Card, Stake reinforces its commitment to customer-centric innovation and operational transparency.

Together, we’re meeting the expectations of a region that is no longer just digital-first, but real-time-first. Pay to Card exemplifies how modern payment infrastructure can directly solve investor pain points”.

Pay to Card is now available to all Stake users in the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom. By slashing withdrawal times from days to minutes, Stake and Checkout.com are setting a new standard for seamless, on-demand real estate investing.
