Quick answer
Choose the eufyCam S4 + HomeBase S380 for advanced tracking and smart zoom, or the Floodlight Camera E340 (2 packs) for a cost-effective wide-area coverage with built-in floodlights.
Tracking vs. Coverage: Key Difference
The eufyCam S4 combines a fixed 4K bullet lens with a dual-lens PTZ that tracks subjects automatically. This makes it ideal for monitoring driveways or backyards where you need to follow movement. In contrast, the Floodlight Camera E340 uses two cameras (3K wide-angle and 2K telephoto) with 8x hybrid zoom, but without active tracking. It covers a broad field of view and can zoom in on details up to 50 ft away, but won't follow a person or vehicle as they move.
Lighting and Night Vision
The Floodlight Camera E340 includes built-in floodlights, providing bright illumination for night recording and acting as a visual deterrent. The eufyCam S4 relies on its own infrared night vision (specs not detailed) and does not have integrated floodlights. If your property needs extra lighting at night, the E340 is the practical choice.
Storage and Power Considerations
The eufyCam S4 comes with the HomeBase S380, which provides local storage and acts as a hub for the camera system. The Floodlight Camera E340 (2 packs) does not include a HomeBase; it connects to your Wi-Fi and stores footage locally on a microSD card (not included) or via optional HomeBase 3 (sold separately). For users who want a complete out-of-box system with centralized storage, the S4 bundle is more convenient.
