eufyCam S3 Pro (2-cam kit)

The eufyCam S3 Pro kit pairs two 4K solar-topped wireless cameras with a HomeBase 3 that does face recognition on the device and stores footage locally, with no subscription. For a small premises that wants cameras without a monthly fee, that is the pitch. The one thing to know: eufy's 2022-23 cloud-upload controversy is part of the record, and the current local-first design is the answer to it.
