    They should be able to add animal detection pretty easily I would imagine with a firmware update. Definitely agree that having the 4g as a backup option to wifi would be excellent.

    I've purchased 2 sets of Eufy camera kits based on your reviews. The eufy security eufyCam 3C 4-Cam Kit, Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, 4K Camera, with the accompanying solar panels. Overall Ive been happy with the cameras. However, I have to point out that out of each set, I now have one camera from each, that is not updating and not working. When I contacted Eufy for support, I was told that the cameras are made by different manufacturers and there is a discrepancy in the quality of the cameras. I think this is an issue you should check into

    EIOT club is so uncompetitive price-wise Vs prepaid data only sim card packages. Problem is setting custom APN settings on the old Eufy cam was so bug ridden. I've setup a couple of the older 4g LTE starlite cameras and it always took about 10 attempts for the camera to accept the new SIM card on custom app settings. Would have been good to see a review where you try and connect to a different SIM card.

    Nothing replaces a wide field of view. There was a camera that had a wide and telephoto camera that tracked and that is probably the best solution but in most cases I'll take a wide field of view and a 2k or 4k resolution with a decent bitrate over a narrow field of view with tracking. The Arlo Ultra still sits on my house with its 180degree FOV and good enough bitrate, Homekit integration, Apple TV Activity Notification, etc. Yes this is a 4G Solar, and if you need that its probably as good as you can reasonably expect. I just hate Eufy's lack of support for their products. Once you buy their product, they are on to the next product and good luck getting any bug fixes. My S40 cameras still think my German Shepherd Dog is a Person everytime it sees it. From day one, Person only notifications were never working and still aren't.

    My backyard is my testing ground for the cameras because it is the closest area I can get to be constant and doesn’t change a lot so that you can easily compare the performance of any camera even if I don’t have a direct comparison video. As to your question about if a person came in and left in a vehicle. As long as you set both person and vehicle detection to ON, then you will get a footage.

    This is a very solid suggestion to reflect real-world performance testing. I bought two Solocam S340 and HB3 after LH's review, installed them in front of the house, under eaves 3 meters high, then paired with HB3. Hoping to capture vehicles going and coming onto the driveway, also people walking on the front lawn. Oh boy, what a disappointment as they miss lots of events 50% of the time. Even miss recording me mowing the lawn. It's been more than 2 months now and still not happy with these cameras. Solar panel performs well or maybe because the cameras are not working well enough to consume battery. The cameras have updated already with 2 rounds of firmwares but motion detection performance is still below average. It is a let down big time by Eufy and now I am contemplating to bin the cameras and go back to Arlo.
