2026 verdict
Choosing between two outdoor-capable cameras, the Eufy SoloCam S340 is the stronger overall pick over the Aqara Camera E1, winning on weather resistance, solar charging, color night vision and a deeper set of alert and light features.
The Aqara Camera E1 answers back with a lower price, more connectivity options and a built-in siren, three real advantages for budget shoppers or anyone tied to a specific smart home ecosystem. Owner ratings land in a tie between the two, so the gap comes down to hardware built specifically for the outdoors: the Eufy SoloCam S340 adds a spotlight, color night vision and solar-assisted power that the Aqara Camera E1 simply does not have. Homeowners who need a full-featured outdoor camera should pick the Eufy SoloCam S340, while shoppers who want the cheaper option with a built-in siren and wider connectivity can go with the Aqara Camera E1.
