EufyCam S3 Pro: Revolutionizing Night Vision with AI-Powered Color Technology

Darkness Is No Problem for This Security Camera With Color Night Vision

Amazon Resurrects the Echo Spot for 2024 and It's Classier Than Ever Home security cameras are a great way to protect your property during the day. At night, the situation becomes more difficult. Along with traditional night vision or a spotlight, some cameras can help you cut through the darkness. The latest model from Eufy, the EufyCam S3 Pro, uses AI technology to help bring day-like image clarity. Don't Worry About Power or Paying a Subscription The headlining feature of the 4K camera is its MaxColor Vision technology. It features an AI-powered processor to bring true colors and clear footage even in the most dark areas. There is also an adaptive spotlight that can be triggered by motion to help bring an even clearer picture. If the feature works anywhere near as well as what Eufy has showcased, it looks to be a game changer for home security. There's a lot more to love about the camera system past the night vision feature. Instead of having to worry about keeping the camera charged, the built-in solar panel can help keep it fully juiced up with just a single hour of sunlight per day. Even without sun, the battery can provide up to 365 days of use. A dual-motion detection system uses both radar and passive infrared to reduce false alerts by up to 99 percent. Thanks to the HomeBase S380, you won't have to worry about paying any additional monthly subscription like many other camera systems. The base station unlocks package, vehicle, and pet detection for custom notifications. Instead of storing video on the cloud, recorded clips are stored in the station's built-in 16GB of storage. That can be optionally expanded up to 128GB. You can purchase the EufyCam S3 Pro starting today. A bundle with two cameras and a single HomeBase S380 data hub is $549.99 available through Eufy or Amazon. There are more expensive bundles with additional cameras. Also Compatible With Apple Home I've reviewed a number of recent Eufy cameras, including the SoloCam S340 and the IndoorCam S350, and have enjoyed the video quality and more. The one big drawback to those cameras was the lack of Apple Home support, limiting them to only Google Home and Amazon Alexa. But the S3 Pro doesn't have that limitation with support for all three major smart home platforms. While the S3 Pro might be more expensive than other systems, the night vision looks to make it more than worth it. Other features like solar power and subscription-free access to recorded videos make it an even better value.

This new Eufy home security camera uses AI to add color to its night vision

Eufy has just announced the EufyCam S3 Pro, a smart security camera that can see color in the dark thanks to AI. Even the best home security cameras usually have to make a compromise when it comes to low lighting. They can either use an infrared (IR) camera to record footage in black and white, or they can use a spotlight to illuminate the area. This allows the camera to record in color, but can disturb people and pets. The EufyCam S3 Pro gets around this problem using what the company is calling MaxColor Vision technology, which recreates images filmed at night in full color. A Eufy spokesperson told The Verge, the S3 Pro promises "daylike footage even in pitch-dark conditions, without the need for a spotlight." From The Verge's testing of the product at IFA, the S3 Pro's ability to see color in the dark sounds very impressive. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy wrote, "A camera was positioned inside a completely dark room, sending video to a monitor outside, on which I could see everything in the room as if it were daytime." The camera can also use AI to differentiate between people, animals, packages, and vehicles - and even identify people who visit frequently. The EufyCam S3 Pro is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, allowing it to work with the rest of your smart home devices. The camera can be used wirelessly thanks to its rechargeable battery and solar panel. According to Eufy, just one hour of sunlight is enough to keep the EufyCam S3 Pro fully charged. Alternatively, you can use a USB-C cable, which will enable 24/7 surveillance. The EufyCam S3 Pro is available now direct from Eufy for $549.99 (about £400 / AU$800). The package includes two cameras and the HomeBase S380 base station, which provides 16TB local storage for your recordings with no need for a subscription.
