Eufy’s Solar Wall Light Cam S4 Offers 4K Video, RGBWW Lighting, Apple Home Support
Eufy has released its latest outdoor security camera and lighting combo, with the Eufy Solar Wall Light Cam S4 offering 4K video, adjustable RGBWW lighting, radar-based motion detection, solar charging, and Apple Home support in a single wall-mounted unit.
The Wall Light Cam S4 combines an outdoor security camera with a relatively discreet wall light design. The integrated camera records at 4K UHD resolution, while the camera section can be manually adjusted vertically through a 0~45º range, allowing the viewing angle to be tailored to its mounting position.
For illumination, the S4 uses RGBWW LEDs, providing both coloured lighting and adjustable white light. White colour temperature can be set between 2700K and 6500K, allowing the fixture to provide anything from warm ambient lighting to cooler security-oriented illumination.
Eufy also provides six preset RGB lighting effects designed for holidays and other occasions. These can be combined with music to create animated lighting effects, while the wall light can otherwise be configured to provide more conventional warm illumination around an entrance or other outdoor area.
Power comes from a built-in 10,000mAh battery, with a detachable 2W solar panel intended to keep the unit charged without requiring permanent wiring. According to Eufy, the battery can provide up to 40 days of backup, while around three hours of sunlight is claimed to provide sufficient energy for a full day’s operation.
For motion detection, the Wall Light Cam S4 uses mmWave radar rather than a conventional PIR sensor. Eufy says its AI system can distinguish between people, vehicles, and pets, with users able to create detection zones and schedules controlling when the lighting and security features are activated.
The lighting itself can also form part of the camera’s deterrent system. When activity is detected, the S4 can automatically trigger red and blue flashing warning lights, accompanied by a 120dB siren. The unit carries an IP65 weather-resistance rating, making it suitable for outdoor installation. Two-way audio is also included, allowing users to speak to visitors through the camera from their phone, whether answering someone at the door or warning an unwanted visitor.
Perhaps of most interest to Apple Home users is the inclusion of Apple Home support, although Eufy’s documentation states that this requires a compatible HomeBase which from a cursory search appears to be either the HomeBase 2 or the HomeBase 3 (S380). The S4 is also designed to work alongside other Eufy security cameras, allowing it to form part of a wider Eufy security system.
This is particularly notable given Eufy’s current camera range. The company’s recently released eufyCam S4, for example, does not currently support Apple Home, at least according to Eufy’s own product documentation. The Wall Light Cam S4 specification sheet, by contrast, explicitly lists Apple HomeKit support when used with a HomeBase.
The Wall Light Cam S4 sits above Eufy’s existing Solar Wall Light Cam S120 in several areas. The S120 offers 1080p video, PIR motion detection, fixed 4000K lighting, a 5,200mAh battery, and a fixed solar panel. The new S4 increases video resolution to 4K, switches to radar detection, adds adjustable colour temperature and RGB lighting, almost doubles battery capacity, and uses a detachable solar panel.
Eufy’s documentation does not specify which HomeBase model will be required for HomeKit integration, nor does it provide details regarding precisely which features will be exposed to Apple Home. This will be particularly important given that HomeKit Secure Video (HSV) currently limits camera streams and recordings to 1080p, although with iOS27 we will be getting support for 4K video as long as the camera is updated to make use of the feature. For now, the S4’s full 4K resolution would not be available through Apple’s platform even if HSV is supported.
The eufy Solar Wall Light Cam S4 is available now on Amazon.com for US$249.99, and amazon.co.uk, although the latter is currently listed as unavailable.
