Eufy Dual Indoor Cam S350 review: Should you buy one?
Viewed in isolation, this is a great home security camera. The geofencing setup process is a bit of a pain, and I encountered a couple of issues that a phone reset solved, but otherwise this camera is easy to use.
Video quality is excellent, and I like having the option for 3x optical zoom. There being no ongoing subscription is also very welcome, and a good reason to pick Eufy over some other brands. While local storage is handy, it also means a savvy burglar could steal the camera and its footage, unless mounted out of reach.
The S350 is also rather expensive when compared to Eufy’s E220. That indoor camera also has powered panning and tilting, a 2K sensor and AI, yet costs less than half as much, at £53, versus £129 for the S350. The cheaper camera also works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit, whereas the pricier model misses out on HomeKit support.
The key question to ask yourself, then, is if you really need that extra 4K resolution and the 3x optical zoom. Those with larger, open-plan spaces to cover, might benefit from these features, that much is true. For everyone else, however, a cheaper, less fancy camera will almost certainly suffice.
