The sun handles it. The camera just works.
In the ongoing human effort to feel safe within our own walls, technology occasionally offers a moment when protection becomes genuinely accessible rather than aspirational. This week, Anker's eufy line of solar-powered cameras and smart locks has reached historically low prices through an exclusive sale, with discounts stretching up to $280 across individual units and bundled systems. The significance lies not just in the numbers, but in what these devices promise: security without the perpetual tax of subscription fees, footage that remains in your possession, and power drawn from the sun itself.
- Home security has long been a recurring cost trap — monthly fees, cloud subscriptions, and battery replacements quietly eroding the value of any upfront investment.
- Anker's eufy sale breaks that pattern sharply, with the flagship SoloCam S340 hitting its lowest-ever price of $109.99 and bundle discounts reaching $280 off full four-camera kits.
- Exclusive promo codes through Wellbots are driving the reductions, meaning the window is narrow and tied to a specific checkout action rather than a passive sale.
- Smart locks with built-in video, floodlight cameras, indoor units, and hub systems are all included, making it possible to build or complete an entire ecosystem in a single purchase.
- The architecture of these systems — local storage, no subscriptions, solar power, seven-minute installation — positions them as a long-term answer rather than another monthly obligation.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your home security, this week offers a rare convergence. Anker's eufy line of cameras and smart locks has hit new lows across the board, with the SoloCam S340 — a solar-powered outdoor camera normally priced at $200 — dropping to $109.99 using the exclusive code 9TO5EUF90 at Wellbots. That's the lowest this model has ever been priced, edging past even last year's major sale events.
The S340 earns its place as the centerpiece. It shoots in 3K to 4K resolution with 8x optical zoom, features AI-powered movement tracking, and uses dual cameras to eliminate the blind spots that single-lens setups inevitably leave. A full 360-degree pan-and-tilt range means one unit can cover what might otherwise require several. Solar power removes the need for wiring or battery management, and Anker's promise of local video storage means your footage stays on your property — no cloud subscription required.
The sale extends well beyond that single camera. The S350 indoor camera falls to $70 from $140, the HomeBase 3 hub drops to $110 from $150, and the E340 dual-lens floodlight camera hits $129 from $220. Smart locks enter the picture too: the FamiLock E35 reaches $210 from $300, while the video-equipped FamiLock S3 Max drops to $290 from $400. Bundle deals push the savings further — a four-camera EufyCam S330 kit with the HomeBase 3 hub lands at $420, down from $700, representing the sale's largest single discount at $280 off.
What gives these deals lasting relevance is the system design underneath them. No monthly fees accumulate. No cloud service holds your footage hostage. Solar panels handle power. For anyone who has delayed a security upgrade because the ongoing costs never made sense, this is the moment the math finally shifts in your favor.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your home security setup, this week brings a rare alignment: Anker's eufy line of cameras and smart locks has hit new lows across the board, and the discounts are substantial enough to reshape what you might spend. The SoloCam S340, a solar-powered outdoor camera that normally costs $200, drops to $109.99 when you use the exclusive code 9TO5EUF90 at checkout through Wellbots—a $90 cut that represents the lowest price this model has ever reached. Even accounting for occasional dips to $120 during major sales events last year, this is genuinely new territory.
The S340 itself is worth understanding if you're considering it. It's an upgraded sibling to the more frequently discounted S220, and the improvements matter for most installations. The camera shoots in 3K to 4K resolution with 8x optical zoom, which means you're not just capturing footage—you're capturing detail. There's AI-powered tracking built in, so the system can follow movement across your property, and dual cameras work together to eliminate the dead zones that plague single-lens setups. The 360-degree pan and tilt means the camera can swivel to cover nearly everything without you needing multiple units. Because it's solar-powered, you're not running extension cords or replacing batteries every few months. Anker promises installation in seven minutes, no monthly subscription fees, and local storage of video on the device itself—which means your footage stays yours, not uploaded to some cloud service you're paying for indefinitely.
But the S340 is just the anchor of a much larger sale. The S350 indoor camera, a different product designed for interior spaces, hits $70 from its regular $140 price using code 9TO5EUF70. The HomeBase 3, which serves as the central hub for eufy systems, lands at $110 from $150 with code 9TO5EUF40. If you want something more aggressive outdoors, the E340 dual-lens floodlight camera—which combines security recording with actual illumination—drops to $129 from $220 using code 9TO5EUF90. For those already invested in the eufy ecosystem, the S3 Pro 4K add-on camera reaches $160 from $220 with code 9TO5EUF60.
The smart locks round out the offering. The FamiLock E35, a straightforward smart lock without video, reaches $210 from $300 using code 9TO5EUF90. The FamiLock S3 Max, which includes a built-in video camera so you can see who's at your door, drops to $290 from $400 with code 9TO5EUF110. For people building out a complete system, there are bundled kits: the EufyCam S3 Pro 4K two-camera kit with HomeBase 3 reaches $390 from $550 using code 9TO5EUF160, and the larger EufyCam S330 four-camera kit with the hub hits $420 from $700 with code 9TO5EUF280—a $280 discount that's the largest single reduction in the lineup.
What makes these deals worth attention is the architecture of what you're buying. These aren't systems that trap you in subscription hell. There are no monthly monitoring fees, no cloud storage charges, no hidden costs that accumulate over years. The solar-powered models mean you're not managing power at all—the sun handles it. The local storage means your video stays on your property, accessible through the eufy app on your phone or through integration with Alexa and Google Assistant if you prefer voice control. For someone who's been putting off a security upgrade because the economics never quite made sense, this is the moment when the math shifts. The entry point is low enough that a single camera becomes an experiment rather than a commitment, and the bundle pricing makes a whole-home system suddenly affordable.

The Hearth Conversation Another angle on the story
Why does the solar power matter so much here? Isn't that just a convenience feature?
It's more fundamental than that. A wired camera needs an electrician or at least a long extension cord running across your house. A battery camera needs you to remember to charge it every few months. Solar means the camera just... works. It charges itself during the day and keeps running at night. Over five years, that's the difference between a system you maintain and one you forget about.
And the local storage—that's the other thing that keeps coming up. Why is that a selling point when cloud storage is so cheap?
Because cloud storage isn't actually cheap when you add it all up. It's $5 or $10 a month per camera, which sounds small until you realize that's $60 to $120 a year, forever. Over five years, that's $300 to $600 per camera just in subscription fees. Local storage means you own the footage. It stays on the device. No recurring bill.
But what if the device gets stolen or damaged?
Fair point. You lose that footage. But most people never have that happen, and the alternative—paying forever for cloud backup—is a certainty, not a risk. It's a trade-off, and for a lot of people, the math favors local storage.
The dual-camera setup on the S340 is interesting. Why does that matter more than just having a better zoom?
Zoom is about seeing far. Dual cameras are about seeing wide without distortion. One camera sees the full scene, the other zooms in on detail. Together they give you comprehensive coverage without the weird fish-eye effect you get from ultra-wide lenses. It's the difference between a security camera and a security system.
And the smart locks—are those actually secure, or are they a gimmick?
They're real locks with video. The video part is the gimmick if you want to be cynical about it. But the lock itself works the same way any smart lock does—you can unlock it from your phone, set temporary codes for guests, get alerts when someone uses it. The video just means you see who's actually at your door before you let them in. That's not a gimmick. That's useful.
