eufyCam S330 Has Been Discontinued — Which eufy Camera Should You Get Instead?

If you have been looking for the eufyCam S330, you will have noticed it is no longer available from eufy's UK store. The S330 has been discontinued.

If you already own one: eufy continues to support the S330 with firmware and app updates. Your camera remains fully functional.

If you are looking to buy: this guide covers what the S330 did well, where it had its limits, and which eufy cameras are the closest fit for what you need now.

What the eufyCam S330 Did Well

The S330 built a strong reputation since 2022 in the UK, for a clear set of reasons:

• 4K resolution with colour night vision for detailed footage day and night
• IP67 weatherproofing suitable for exposed UK outdoor positions
• SolarPlus 1.0 solar charging combined with a large battery for extended solar operation
• Local storage via HomeBase S380, no monthly subscription required
• Full HomeBase ecosystem integration for local storage and ecosystem control

For households already in the eufy ecosystem, the S330 offered a reliable, subscription-free outdoor camera with strong image quality and the kind of battery life that rarely required manual charging.

Where the eufyCam S330 Has Its Limits

Each limitation below directly shaped the replacement options worth considering.

• No 24/7 recording. The S330 records on motion triggers only. Continuous 24/7 recording is not supported.
• UK winter solar performance. SolarPlus 1.0 supplemented battery life, but in extended low-light winter conditions in the UK, some users found the panel could not fully offset battery drain during high-activity periods.
• Fixed viewing angle. The S330 is a bullet-style camera with a fixed lens. It captures what is in its field of view at installation. Anything outside that frame requires a separate camera or repositioning the unit.

These limits shape which replacement makes most sense for each household.

Best eufyCam S330 Alternatives

eufyCam S4 — For Those Who Need Tracking Without Blind Spots

The S4 is built around a specific problem the S330 could not solve: tracking a subject in motion across a wide area while still keeping the full scene in view.

Best for: large properties with wide open approaches, households that want simultaneous wide-view coverage and subject tracking, and those who want clear warnings as a deterrent.

What the S4 improves over the S330:

1. Bullet-PTZ cam tracking. The S4's defining feature. The camera combines a fixed wide-angle lens with a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) lens in a single unit. When a person is detected, the PTZ lens tracks them automatically while the wide-angle lens continues to capture the full scene. The S330 could do neither — once a subject moved out of frame, they were gone.
2. Group tracking. Follows multiple subjects simultaneously, useful at a front gate where several people might arrive together.
3. 8x hybrid zoom. Allows the S4 to capture readable facial detail at distances where the S330's fixed lens would show only a silhouette.
4. PIR + radar motion detection. Unlike PIR-only detection, the S4's dual-sensor system extends the effective detection range further out. For a long driveway or wide open approach, this means an alert before someone reaches the door rather than as they arrive. Radar also helps filter background triggers from wind or nearby traffic, cutting down on unnecessary alerts.
5. Quick-release battery. Battery swaps do not leave the camera offline for an extended period.
6. Detachable SolarPlus 2.0 panel (5.5W). The S330's panel is fixed to the camera body — wherever the camera mounts, the panel goes. The S4's panel positions independently, so the camera can mount in shade while the panel faces the best available sun. This matters in UK winter, and SolarPlus 2.0 also needs only around 1 hour of sunlight per day versus 2 hours for the S330's SolarPlus 1.0.
7. Red and Blue Warning Lights. Activate when a person is detected, acting as a visible deterrent as well as a recording device — the S330 had no equivalent.
8. 24/7 wired recording available — a capability the S330 never supported.

Trade-offs: The S4 is physically larger than the S330, which may affect positioning options in tight installation spaces.

SoloCam S340 — For Those Who Want Tracking Without a HomeBase

If the S4 adds tracking to the S330's role within the eufy ecosystem, the SoloCam S340 brings PTZ tracking to a standalone camera that does not require HomeBase at all — making it a lower-cost entry point or a complement to an existing system.

Best for: standalone installation without HomeBase, corner or high-angle mounting where a wide PTZ field of view is an advantage, and those who want tracking on a tighter budget.

What the S340 improves over the S330:

1. HomeBase is optional for the S340. It stores footage on 8GB built-in eMMC storage and operates fully standalone. It can also be paired with HomeBase, which unlocks additional features such as face recognition. The S330, by contrast, required HomeBase S380 — it could not operate for local storage without it.
2. 355-degree horizontal rotation. Gives the S340 a field of view the S330's fixed lens cannot match. A single S340 installed at a corner can cover an area that might otherwise need two or three fixed cameras.
3. PTZ tracking. Shifts the full camera view to follow a subject. Unlike the S4 — which keeps the wide-angle lens on the full scene while a separate PTZ lens tracks — the S340 moves its entire view during tracking. This means the starting position is temporarily vacated while the camera follows a subject.
4. Dual-lens 3K resolution with 8x hybrid zoom. Provides clear detail at distance.
5. Detachable solar panel performs better in partial UK sunlight conditions, though performance in extended winter low-light conditions will still vary by site.

Trade-offs:

1. battery life is approximately 3 months, compared to around 1 year for the S330.
2. Its 2.2W SolarPlus 1.0 panel requires around 2 hours of sunlight per day — the same technology as the S330, and less efficient than the S4's 5.5W SolarPlus 2.0.
3. Face recognition requires a HomeBase connection; without one, the S340 detects human movement only.

Which eufyCam S330 Replacement Is Right for You?

What All the Options Have in Common

All two cameras continue the S330's core approach:

• Local storage with no monthly subscription — no cloud fees, footage stays on your property
• IP65 weatherproofing for year-round UK outdoor conditions
• Solar charging to reduce manual battery management
• eufy app for remote viewing, alerts, and live monitoring from anywhere

Conclusion

The eufyCam S4 addresses the one thing the S330 could not do: track a subject while still recording the full scene. For properties where coverage gaps are a concern, the S4's dual-lens design solves a problem the S330 was never built to handle. It also improves on the S330's solar charging with SolarPlus 2.0, which is better suited to variable UK winter conditions.

The SoloCam S340 is the option for those who want PTZ capability without committing to HomeBase, or who need a standalone camera alongside an existing setup.

Both continue the S330's approach to local storage and subscription-free operation. You could also explore our security cameras to find which one you should choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the eufyCam S330 still available?

No. The S330 has been discontinued. eufy continues to provide firmware and app support for existing S330 owners. For S330 owners who want to purchase accessories, you can go to our accessory page or contact our UK support team directly for help. 

What is the best replacement for the eufyCam S330 in the UK?

For tracking across large properties with continued HomeBase integration, the eufyCam S4. For standalone installation without HomeBase, the SoloCam S340.

Do any of these cameras require a monthly subscription?

No. All three store footage locally via HomeBase or built-in eMMC storage. There are no subscription fees.

What is the difference between the eufyCam S4 and SoloCam S340?

The main difference is how they track. The S4's triple-lens design keeps the full scene in view while a separate PTZ camera follows the subject — the S340's full body rotates to track, temporarily leaving the original area uncovered. 

The S4 also supports 24/7 recording when wired and uses dual-sensor motion detection (PIR + radar) for a longer detection range and fewer false alerts.
