The verdict

What the panel makes of it.

The Eufy SoloCam S340 ranks fifth among home security cameras and earns strong buyer approval (4.5/5 stars) for durable construction, easy setup, and reliable AI tracking powered by solar charging—but night detection drops off sharply beyond 40–50 metres in low light.

Review 1 flags night detection weakness at distance, which aligns with the camera's documented low-light performance limitation.

In their words

Researched outside cameras. Didn't want batteries to change and wiring. Bought this camera from Argos. Its very well made. The set up was relativity easy. I can not find any negatives. It has sound both ways. It has a switchable light. Day and night picture quality very good. Can adjust length of recordings. Fine tuning to enable set up operation. Solar panel has been charging well in January wet

GC · verified purchase · argos.co.uk

If you’re in the market for a camera that doesn’t require any wiring, this is a very solid choice. Cons: In low-light conditions (around an hour after sunset), the AI struggles to detect people and cars beyond 50 metres. Anything within 40 metres is detected reliably, but between 40–50 metres it becomes inconsistent.
