Summary
Most indoor cameras arent exactly known for advanced and cutting-edge features.
Despite one substantial issue, the camera is a high-quality choice for smart home security.
The Eufy Indoor Cam S350 brings the best of both worlds in camera technology.

The dual-lens setup features a 4K wide-angle and 2K telephoto option.

Both lenses provide great image quality in all situations, including in the dark. Thanks to AI features, the camera can automatically pan/tilt to follow humans and pets. Using an optional microSD card, you can locally store video instead of paying for a cloud option.

The camera on the left is a 4K wide-angle lens with a 130-degree field of view.
On the right is a 2K telephoto lens that provides 3x optical zoom.
Optical zoom is substantially better than digital zoom and provides much better image quality.

Working together, both cameras will give you an 8x hybrid zoom.
Getting the camera set up as part of your smart home just takes a few minutes.
After downloading the Eufy security app foriPhoneorAndroid, youll walk through a few steps to add the S350.
Another one of the advantages of the model is support for dual-band Wi-Fi 6.
Thats something not found on many indoor security cameras.
That support should bring top-notch image quality and speed when controlling the camera at home or anywhere else.
In just a few minutes, the camera will be set up and ready to go.
For a smart home, the camera supports both Amazon Alexa and Google Home, but not Apple HomeKi.
This is definitely disappointing, as many other Eufy cameras offer compatibility with Apples smart home platform.

But note that the pan/tilt functionality isn’t natively supported.
To do that, you’ll need to use the Eufy app.
I use it in my living room, which takes up the majority of my house.

Its a rectangular shape and often difficult to see everything that is happening with a traditional indoor camera.
The Indoor Cam S350 takes care of all those issues and more.
Many pan/tilt cameras usually have a smaller field-of-view than fixed-lens options.
When its time for pan/tilt, the Eufy app provides a simple joystick option.
A simple touch switches from 1x zoom to 3x zoom using the 4K lens.
Youll see 8x on the screen when the camera is at its maximum zoom.
The image quality on the 4K lens was spectacular.
Zooming in, the 2K lens was almost as good.
If you create activity zones, only motion in those zones will start the tracking.
When motion stops, the camera will return to its default position.
The Indoor Cam S350 is also perfect for use as a baby monitor camera.
AI noise detection can notify you of crying or other sounds in a nursery.
Some manufacturers require you to use cloud storage, with a monthly fee to access recorded video.
But with an optional microSD card, you could store videos locally and not worry about that fee.
That might become an issue if youre looking to access a large amount of recorded video.
With a microSD card, you’re able to record and access full 4K video.
