The new EufyCam S3 Pro promises to capture night footage as clearly as daytime footage, and it delivers.
Eufy Security just launched a new security camera as a successor to the EufyCam S330, and it is a monumental upgrade to the best security cameras I’ve tested. The new EufyCam S3 Pro has one huge advantage over other high-end security cameras: what Eufy calls MaxColor Vision.
Rather than being the name of a 1980s TV channel, Eufy’s MaxColor Vision technology captures detailed images, even at night. This technology produces night vision footage that looks like daytime, with stunning clarity.
The EufyCam S3 Pro also has a pair of spotlights in case extra light is needed to capture more detail in low-light conditions. These spotlights weren’t always necessary but could be helpful in certain situations.
As soon as I set up my new EufyCam S3 Pro, I installed them in place of my older S330 solar-powered cameras, which will now get a new home surveilling the sides of my house. The difference in the footage was immediately glaring. The new EufyCam S3 performs stunningly during the night, even in my backyard, which has zero lights on overnight.
This was taken at 9:41pm, when it was pitch dark and cloudy.
After trying the camera with HomeKit, I kept the device with the rest of our Eufy security cameras and alarm system in the HomeBase 3 hub with an external HDD.
