FULL STORY ======================================================================

Eufy has just announced the EufyCam S3 Pro, a smart security camera that can see color in the dark thanks to AI.

Even the best home security cameras usually have to make a compromise when it comes to low lighting. They can either use an infrared (IR) camera to record footage in black and white, or they can use a spotlight to illuminate the area. This allows the camera to record in color, but can disturb people and pets.

The EufyCam S3 Pro gets around this problem using what the company is calling MaxColor Vision technology, which recreates images filmed at night in full color. A Eufy spokesperson told The Verge , the S3 Pro promises "daylike footage even in pitch-dark conditions, without the need for a spotlight."

From The Verges testing of the product at IFA, the S3 Pros ability to see color in the dark sounds very impressive. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy wrote, "A camera was positioned inside a completely dark room, sending video to a monitor outside, on which I could see everything in the room as if it were daytime."

The camera can also use AI to differentiate between people, animals,
packages, and vehicles - and even identify people who visit frequently. Color in the dark

The EufyCam S3 Pro is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, allowing it to work with the rest of your smart home devices .

The camera can be used wirelessly thanks to its rechargeable battery and
solar panel. According to Eufy, just one hour of sunlight is enough to keep the EufyCam S3 Pro fully charged. Alternatively, you can use a USB-C cable, which will enable 24/7 surveillance.

The EufyCam S3 Pro is available now direct from Eufy for $549.99 (about 400 / AU$800). The package includes two cameras and the HomeBase S380 base station, which provides 16TB local storage for your recordings with no need for a subscription.
