Eufy’s New 360° 4K Camera Doesn’t Require Wi-Fi 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.
