Eufy’s New 360° 4K Camera Doesn’t Require Wi-Fi Or Mains Power
The device has the same $249.99 launch price as the firm’s previous LTE-equipped Starlight camera but offers many more features.
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.

Dirham-Backed Stablecoin DDSC Enters Live Phase In UAE
Central Bank approval moves the dirham-backed token into deployment, targeting regulated payments and settlement flows.
The UAE has cleared the launch of DDSC, a dirham-backed stablecoin now entering live operation after approval from the Central Bank. The move pushes the project beyond its pilot phase and into the country’s regulated financial system.
The token is backed by a consortium led by IHC, Sirius International Holding and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), framing it as an institutional instrument rather than a consumer crypto product. DDSC was first announced in April 2025, but regulatory clearance now allows deployment and integration across approved channels.
DDSC runs on ADI Chain, a Layer 2 blockchain built by the Abu Dhabi-based ADI Foundation. The infrastructure is designed for governance and performance requirements expected by large institutions, linking blockchain settlement with existing compliance and oversight frameworks.
The focus is practical, targeting treasury settlements, high-value payments, trade and supply-chain transactions, and programmable financial flows for regulated entities. FAB plans to offer access to the token through approved platforms for its clients, keeping the rollout inside controlled banking environments.
“DDSC marks a defining milestone in the UAE’s digital finance journey,” said Syed Basar Shueb, CEO of IHC. “With the Central Bank’s approval and our transition into live operation, we are delivering trusted, institutional-grade infrastructure that strengthens resilience, accelerates innovation, and expands what is possible in regulated digital payments”.

FAB says the project reflects how stablecoins can sit within traditional finance when risk controls are built in from the outset. “This milestone underscores that stablecoins can be integrated responsibly into the financial system when built to meet rigorous regulatory and risk requirements,” said Futoon Hamdan AlMazrouei, Group Head of Personal, Business, Wealth and Privileged Client Banking Group at FAB.
The launch reinforces the UAE’s strategy of pushing digital finance through regulation instead of open-ended crypto experimentation. Stablecoins in this model are positioned less as trading assets and more as programmable extensions of national currency, aimed at institutional scale and government use cases.
