Pros

• Low-light performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 5.0
  Reviewers report that the camera remains usable under only ambient light, but performance improves markedly when either its black and white night mode or colour night vision with the floodlights is enabled, keeping back entrances and steps visible well after dark.
• Speaker volume ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 5.0
  Reviews say the built in speaker can double as a loud siren for the manual alarm, producing an ear piercing deterrent sound while still handling clear two way conversations with visitors at the door or driveway.
• Color accuracy ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
  Reviews describe the E340’s image as having rich, well-balanced colors and strong contrast from both lenses, making daytime footage look natural while still clearly separating people, vehicles, and background details.
• System scalability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
  Owners running multiple HomeBase 3 units and several Eufy cameras say the system scales well as they add devices, making it easy to expand from a single floodlight camera to a broader whole home security setup over time.

  Reviews describe the E340’s twin floodlights as very bright 2000 lumen panels that can replace a standard outdoor light, fully illuminating typical driveways and yards while still being dimmable for everyday use.

  Reviews agree the E340’s dual 3K wide and 2K telephoto lenses deliver crisp footage, letting you zoom in on people, vehicles and doorways with up to 8x magnification that remains detailed enough to monitor driveways and yards, though one tester notes that using Auto quality on a weak network can make saved clips look softer unless 3K streaming is forced.
• Weather resistance rating (IP code) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
  The E340’s housing carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust and resistant to water jets, and testers consider it well suited for exposed porch, wall, or soffit installations in typical residential climates.
• Continuous recording capability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.7
  Reviewers appreciate that unlike many motion only floodlight cams, the E340 can record continuously when storage allows, so mains powered installs can keep a rolling 24/7 history instead of just short motion clips.
• Hub requirement ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.6
  Unlike some camera systems that require a dedicated hub, the E340 connects directly to Wi Fi and offers its core features and recording without a base station, while an optional HomeBase hub can be added later to expand local storage and AI features for larger Eufy security setups.

  The E340 uses on device AI to classify motion from humans, pets, and vehicles, powering auto tracking, smart alerts, and floodlight control, and pairing it with HomeBase 3 adds locally processed facial recognition for even richer intelligence without relying on the cloud; reviewers also like that they can label clips in the app so the local AI improves over time.
• Cable management ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  The mounting plate and housing are designed to hide and route wires neatly behind the unit for a clean junction box install, and when used as a plug in setup, screw in cable clips and a weatherproof, lockable outlet cover help manage the visible power cord even if it is not as seamless as fully concealed wiring.
• Dual-band (2.4/5GHz) performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  Owners like that the E340’s Wi Fi 6 radio can join either 2.4GHz or 5GHz networks, and testers report that while placement can matter outdoors, moving a mesh node slightly closer quickly restores a solid, high bandwidth connection for streaming and alerts.
• Power options (battery ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  While designed for a hardwired junction box, the camera can also be powered using a standard outdoor extension cord and plug, giving owners a flexible way to add a floodlight camera where no junction box is available.

• Optical zoom performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Owners like that the floodlight’s telephoto lens adds meaningful extra detail compared with a single wide lens, and this tester highlights that zooming in on faces or plates at a distance still produces informative images rather than muddy crops.
• Privacy zone masking ease ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Owners report that privacy zones in the Eufy app make it easy to blur sensitive areas, such as a neighbour’s window, so those regions are masked in saved clips while the rest of the scene remains visible.
• Detection features ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.4
  Reviews describe rich detection features including subject tracking that can lock onto humans or pets and follow them through the frame, separate light and camera triggers, out of view detection toggles, and manual alarms, though buyers may need to adjust defaults so lights and recording behave as expected.
• Mobile app reliability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3

• Installation & Mounting ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.2
  Installers note that the E340 uses standard hardwired floodlight wiring for junction box installs and can mount on walls or ceilings, and this review also shows it can be screwed directly to a surface and powered by a plug-in cable, giving homeowners a choice between a clean in-box install and a simpler junction-box-free setup.
• Installation ease ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.1
  Installers describe the E340 as straightforward to put up when replacing an existing floodlight, with clear instructions, an included hanging hook that supports the unit while wiring, and only basic tools required, and this walkthrough adds that even a plug-in extension-cord install is manageable for confident DIYers, though those unfamiliar with mains wiring may still prefer an electrician.
• Price value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Across price checks, reviewers position the E340 as a feature rich floodlight cam that delivers dual lenses, bright lighting and strong local storage at a competitive mid tier price, often rating its overall value around eight out of ten.
• Smart home integration (Alexa ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Owners report that the E340 integrates smoothly with Alexa and Google Assistant for live viewing and floodlight control and can participate in Alexa routines, though it lacks HomeKit support and has narrower smart home platform coverage than some competing ecosystems.

• False alert filter effectiveness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.8
  While some tests still report occasional misclassification without careful setup, reviewers explain that defining activity zones can effectively block trees or passing street traffic, reducing many nuisance alerts once tuned, and new feedback tools in the app let owners flag clips as not human so the local AI improves over time.
• Build quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  Reviewers describe the E340’s build as largely plastic and less elegant than some metal bodied competitors, but note that it still feels solid, carries appropriate outdoor ratings, and prioritizes performance and features over premium industrial design.
