With its solar-powered EufyCam S4, now on display at the IFA trade show in Berlin, Anker’s Eufy division is joining the ranks of security camera manufacturers offering dual-function models that combine a stationary bullet camera with a motorized pan/tilt/zoom cam in the same housing.
The bullet came element is a fixed camera with 4K resolution and a generous 130-degree field of view, while the 2K pan/tilt cam beneath it is outfitted with one wide-angle lens (also with a 130-degree field of view) and one telephoto lens with a 46-degree field of view. The lower twin-lensed camera is mounted to a motor that can pan 360 degrees as well as tilt over a 70-degree arc.
The two cameras–and three lens elements–work together to ensure an intruder can’t escape detection. With bullet-to-PTZ tracking, if the bullet camera detects a target, the PTZ camera will lock on and track the target’s movement, automatically zooming in up to 164 feet to capture more detail. But if more subjects appear on the scene, the camera will zoom out again so that nothing is missed.
The EufyCam S4 melds a bullet security camera with a dual-lensed pan/tilt/zoom camera. A solar panel keeps the cameras battery continually charged, or you can buy an AC adapter that will enable 24/7 recording to local storage.

A live view from the Eufy app will toggle between the views from the three lenses, based on which one detects motion. Video recordings will show all motion in a single clip.
The EufyCam S4 has both radar and passive infrared motion detection. Four LED spotlights, two on each camera, can light nighttime scenes to provide color night vision. An onboard 105dB siren and red-and-blue LED lights can be triggered to deter an intruder.
Video recordings can be stored on the camera itself, thanks to 32GB of eMMC storage, but you can expand that capacity to 256GB by providing a microSD card. The EufyCam S4 can perform 24/7 continuous recording when it’s connected directly to an AC adapter (an added-cost option).
The EufyCam S4 will also be available in a 2- or 4-camera bundle with the Eufy HomeBase S380, which will add AI-powered facial recognition in addition to more local storage.

An included 5.5-watt solar panel keeps the camera’s battery topped off with just one hour of direct sunlight. The panel can be detached for more flexible mounting options (it’s connected to the camera with a 10-foot cable). You could mount the camera under a roof eave, for example, and mount the panel to a fascia board to keep it out of the home’s shadow (as shown in the PR photo up top).
On-camera AI can differentiate between humans, pets, and vehicles. Pairing the camera with the Eufy HomeBase S380 base station enables local facial recognition via Eufy’s Bionic Mind technology. The HomeBase S380 also adds 16GB of encrypted local storage, which can be further expanded with the installation of a 2.5-inch hard drive with capacities up to 16TB.
Two new Eufy NVRs
Eufy is also showing two other NVR products but has provided very little additional information about them ahead of the show. In a demo earlier this year, Eufy described the HomeBase Pro as having both battery backup and backup internet connectivity via an LTE connection. The HomeBase Pro is slated to have 32GB of onboard storage, and you’ll be able to add a hard drive for more.
Eufy hasn’t publlshed much information about its new AI Core, beyond saying it’s designed to deliver “advanced AI-enabled services, including vehicle protection, porch piracy deterence, and risk assessment and response in coordination with other sensors and devices.”

As the name of its second new NVR, the Eufy AI Core, indicates, Eufy is doubling down on local artificial intelligence with this product. Going beyond facial recognition, the company says the Eufy AI Core can recognize human behaviors for the purposes of threat assessment, and that by working in conjunction with other sensors and devices, it will analyze and respond to potential fire risks.
Eufy didn’t announce pricing or availability for either of these new storage products, although it began offering an AI Pioneer Program in April 2025 that included a free AI Core and a one-year subscription to its EdgeAgent service (a combined value of $539). It’s not clear from Eufy’s website if that program is still open to new enrollment.
As for the EufyCam S4, it is available for pre-sale on its own now for $299. It will also be available in a two-camera kit with a HomeBase S380 for $649, and as part of a four-camera kit with a HomeBase S380 for $1,149. Eufy didn’t provide an official ship date in its latest press release, but had previously suggested the camera would be available in November.
