The EufyCam S4, which was announced in September, is now available – and it has a lot going for it.
The new EufyCam S4 mixes a 4K fixed bullet lens with dual 2K pan-tilt-zoom lenses in a single body, so you get a wide overview and a close-up tracker that swings and zooms to follow the action.
Pair that with a detachable 5.5W solar panel, and you have a camera that can be left in place.
Eufy says that the bullet lens covers doors and driveways with a 130° field of view, while the twin PTZ lenses provide 360° coverage and AI Tracking 2.0 to keep people or cars framed up to 50 meters; it is a good move for anyone who has juggled a static cam and a separate PTZ.
You also get the basics that make a real difference day to day. Radar plus PIR sensors to cut false alerts and a 105dB siren with red and blue lights when you want to make a point.

Colour night footage is aided by onboard LEDs, while the solar panel can top up with roughly an hour of direct sun. There are also quick-swap battery covers that you can use when the weather turns grim.
Tie it to HomeBase S380, and the system gets smarter without handing your video to the cloud. Local BionicMind AI handles facial recognition, pets and vehicles, Cross-cam Tracking links clips into one timeline, and 24/7 Snapshots give constant visual check-ins without chewing through the battery.
Pricing starts at £249 for the solo camera, £549 for the 2-Cam Kit with HomeBase S380, and £949 for the 4-Cam Kit. To go along with the UK release, we have fully reviewed the camera.
“A very clever security camera, the EufyCam S4 combines a 4K wide-angle fixed camera with a dual-lens pan-and-tilt camera. Individually, this set-up lets you cover a wider area (think of them as two individual cameras); together, they combine, with one giving an overview of events and the other automatically tracking and zooming,” said our reviewer.

Offline recording means no ongoing costs, while integrated object detection reduces alerts. My one minor complaint is that the captured video feed slightly compresses the 4K feed, but hopefully that will be addressed in a future firmware update.
Excellent tracking
High quality video
No ongoing fees
Expensive
Recorded footage is not 4K
