Add The New York Post on Google Owning your first home is exciting — but it comes with its significant list of challenges.
One of the biggest is security, which means constantly dealing with nosy neighbors, porch pirates or uninvited visitors who should probably be nowhere near your lawn. A good home security camera can help you keep tabs on your backyard, porch and more, and Eufy’s Security SoloCam S340 is one of the best.
Plus, it’s currently on sale for 20% off, bringing its price down to $160 for a limited time as part of the early Prime deals ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.
The camera captures footage in up to 3K resolution and offers 8x hybrid zoom, so you can keep track of everything from people approaching your home to tiny animals burrowing in your backyard.
The brand also says installation takes just seven minutes, so you’ll have this camera set up and ready to go in no time. It offers 360-degree coverage with pan-and-tilt functionality, giving you a bird’s-eye view of your outdoor space.
Plus, unlike some other security camera systems, you don’t need to pay a monthly subscription. There’s built-in local storage, which means you can save footage directly on the device.
Other features include two-way audio, so you can speak to visitors — or scare off an unwanted one — using your voice. It’s also built to withstand outdoor weather, from rain and snow to bright sunshine.
Since there’s a solar panel included, there’s minimal maintenance, too. Eufy says two hours of direct sunlight per day is enough to keep the camera continuously powered under typical conditions.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-use security camera that requires little looking after, offers local storage without a required monthly fee and can keep tabs on your outdoor space without missing a beat, the eufy Security SoloCam S340 is worth your money — especially now while it’s 20% off.
With two-way audio, a built-in light and a motion sensor, this camera has got your front porch covered.

If you’re looking for an indoor camera instead, this high-definition option offers both night vision and motion detection.
