eufyCam 3 (S380) 4K Solar Security Camera

The eufyCam 3 (model T8160, also designated S330) is a wireless outdoor security camera that operates alongside the HomeBase 3 (model T8030, or S380). According to eufy Australia, the camera captures footage in 4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160) with a 135-degree diagonal field of view and an f/1.4 aperture. Night footage is captured via infrared sensors or in colour using a built-in 100-lumen spotlight. Each camera carries an IP67 weather-resistance rating, two-way audio, and an integrated solar panel designed to charge the internal 13,000–13,400 mAh rechargeable battery.

Who it suits

According to manufacturer documentation, this system suits homeowners and renters seeking high-resolution outdoor monitoring without ongoing subscription fees. eufy states that detection features—such as BionicMind facial recognition, vehicle identification, and pet alerts—run locally without cloud subscriptions. Recorded clips are stored directly on the HomeBase 3, which includes 16 GB of integrated memory and can be expanded up to 16 TB using an internal 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive.

The solar design suits exterior locations that receive approximately two hours of direct sunlight daily, reducing the need to remove the camera for USB-C charging. However, buyers needing continuous 24/7 surveillance should consider other options, as eufy notes the camera only records event-triggered clips. It is also not suited to Apple Home, Matter, or Samsung SmartThings users, as eufy Support confirms these platforms are unsupported.

Australian notes

The HomeBase 3 connects to a standard Australian 240V power point using its supplied DC adapter and links to your local router, while the cameras operate strictly on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. In Australia, eufy supplies a 12-month manufacturer limited warranty, alongside statutory consumer guarantees provided under Australian Consumer Law.

When installing cameras outdoors, be mindful of privacy and surveillance device legislation regarding capturing shared spaces or neighbouring properties; check your state or territory surveillance device regulator for guidance. Renters should also review tenancy agreements regarding fixing mounting brackets into masonry or external cladding.
