Anker’s eufyCam C37 4K is a solar-powered wireless outdoor security camera with 360-degree AI auto-tracking that uses pan and tilt to follow people, vehicles and pets. Its detachable 3-watt solar panel can be positioned separately for stronger sunlight while the camera maintains its preferred viewing angle. A built-in spotlight supports 4K color night vision.
You can store video locally on a microSD card with up to 256 GB of capacity or through a compatible HomeBase hub, without mandatory monthly subscription fees. Supported hubs require specified firmware versions. Current Amazon pricing lists the 4K model at $99.99, down from $130, and the 2K version at $69.97, down from $100. For consumers, the design combines adjustable solar charging, automated tracking and local recording. It reflects demand for self-powered smart-home security without recurring subscriptions.
For Anker, fee-free storage differentiates the hardware from cloud-dependent alternatives, while HomeBase compatibility supports wider adoption of its security ecosystem.
