Eufy's New Security Camera Uses AI for Mutual Tracking of Cameras - Here's How It Works

Eufy has introduced a new line of home security cameras. All feature dual cameras and can combine shots from multiple cameras into a single clip. [The company's new SoloCam S340, Floodlight Cam E340, Indoor Cam S350, and Video Doorbell E340 have both wide-angle and telephoto lenses to make sure you don't miss anything happening around your home or in your yard.

The SoloCam S340 at the beginning of this section is a wireless outdoor security camera that comes with a solar panel so it won't need to be charged. This solar panel can be mounted directly on top of the camera or in a separate location using the included USB-C cable; the SoloCam S340 has 3K resolution as well as 360-degree AI-assisted pan and tilt capabilities.

Meanwhile, Eufy's new Floodlight Cam E340 and Indoor Cam S350 also feature 360-degree AI-assisted pan and tilt capabilities; the Video Doorbell E340 boasts color night vision and a dedicated second It has an additional 1080p camera.

While dual cameras are a great addition to Eufy's new lineup of indoor/outdoor security cameras, I am most excited about the new AI-powered cross-camera tracking feature.

As I explained in my review of the Eufy Edge Security System last year, Eufy has already done quite a lot to eliminate the feeling of being overwhelmed by notifications from cameras. However, the AI cross-camera tracking feature should greatly limit the number of notifications from cameras.

With AI Cross Camera Tracking enabled, Eufy's HomeBase S380 (which stores all video taken from cameras locally) will be able to merge shots from multiple cameras into a single clip. So, for example, if a cat approaches the video doorbell, walks around the side of the house, and goes to the backyard, it will only receive one notification.

The HomeBase S380 already uses local AI to track events and individuals captured by Eufy cameras. And now it will automatically group shots of the same events and people together, organizing them chronologically into a single clip.Eufy's cross-camera tracking feature will initially launch as a free trial, with pricing to be announced during the fourth quarter of this year.

While cross-camera tracking will likely require some sort of subscription, it is worth noting that the company does not charge anything to store camera clips or to let the local BionicMind AI identify people, pets, or cars.

All of Eufy's new cameras are currently available on the company's website or on Amazon, with the Indoor Cam S350 being the cheapest at $129.99, the Video Doorbell E340 at $179.99, and the SoloCam S340 at $199.99, Floodlight Cam E340 is $219.99.
