4K Quality at an Accessible Price

The eufyCam 3 (S330) delivers the same 4K resolution and BionicMind AI as the S3 Pro, but at a more accessible price point. It uses a rechargeable battery (solar panel compatible) instead of the S3 Pro’s integrated solar panel — making it the sweet spot of performance and value.

eufyCam 3 vs S3 Pro

• Same: 4K resolution, BionicMind AI, HomeBase 3 compatible, colour night vision, local storage.
• Difference: eufyCam 3 uses rechargeable battery (solar panel sold separately). S3 Pro has integrated solar panel built into the camera body.

4K Security at the Lowest Entry Point
