The two-cam kit of EufyCam S3 Pro with HomeBase 3 is now down to $399.98 from $549.99, and price trackers show this is the lowest it has reached so far. It is still a premium setup, but this drop makes it easier to consider if you were already planning to invest in a long-term system. You get two 4K outdoor cameras and the HomeBase 3 hub, which handles local storage and system controls. That means no required monthly fees, since your footage stays on the device locally instead of being pushed to the cloud.

Low-light performance is where the S3 Pro separates itself from most cameras in this range. Eufy’s MaxColor Vision processes footage in real time, using AI along with a wide f/1.0 aperture and a larger sensor to capture more detail. In practice, that means night footage looks closer to daytime than the usual grainy black-and-white clips. There are also built-in spotlights to help when the scene is too dark, though they are not always needed, notes this ZDNET review.

During the day, the camera records in 4K, which helps when you want to zoom in on faces or license plates. Motion detection is another strong point. The system can tell the difference between people, pets, and vehicles, and it does a good job limiting false alerts. It can even recognize familiar faces through the HomeBase 3, so notifications can identify who was seen instead of just flagging motion. That said, you may still need to fine-tune detection zones, especially if the camera has a clear view of a busy street.

Living with the system is mostly hands-off. Each camera has a built-in solar panel and a 13,000mAh battery, and Eufy says an hour of daily sunlight can keep it running year-round. That removes the need for regular charging in most setups. You also get two-way audio, weather resistance, and a siren through the hub if you want a more active deterrent. On the downside, while the cameras record in 4K, if you use them (or plan to) within an Apple ecosystem, the resolution drops to 1080p and requires an iCloud subscription, which undercuts the no-fee appeal.
