Anker's eufy TrackLight Cam S1 goes on sale for $299.99 with a spotlight that follows people

The skim

• Anker says the eufy TrackLight Cam S1 is on sale now in the US for $299.99. It's a solar-powered outdoor camera with a light beam that follows a person it flags as suspicious.
• Anker lists 4K video, a 355-degree pan, dual radar detection out to 40 feet and a 105 dB siren. It also says there's no monthly subscription.
• Before you buy, check how it connects to Apple Home. Earlier preorder coverage said Apple Home support runs through Anker's HomeBase S380.

Anker announced on Nov. 9 that the eufy TrackLight Cam S1 is available now in the US on eufy.com and Amazon.com for $299.99. In the UK it costs £249.99. Talk Android reported in October that eufy.com was taking preorders; Monday's release is Anker's full launch announcement. Anker says white is sold on eufy.com and Amazon, while black is sold only on eufy.com. When we checked eufy.com around 6:40 a.m. MT on Nov. 9, its product page listed the camera at $299.99.

What the light does

Most outdoor cameras record someone and send you an alert afterward. Anker's pitch is that this one reacts while the person is still in your yard. When the camera flags someone as suspicious, it locks on and follows them with a light from up to 12 meters (about 40 feet) away. Anker says the beam adjusts between 10 and 30 degrees and puts out 20 lux of focused light. It narrows when the person is far away and widens as they get closer. The camera pans at up to 87 degrees per second, with 355 degrees of horizontal and 75 degrees of vertical rotation. In the tracking deterrence mode, the 105 dB siren and the light turn on together. You can also pick red-and-blue flashing lights.

The same light also works as a welcome light. If you add family members to the Family List in the eufy app, Anker says the camera recognizes their phones over Bluetooth and turns on a soft light as they walk up.

Key specs, per Anker

• Video: 4K, up to 10x digital zoom, color night vision, plus a 120-degree floodlight.
• Detection: dual radars covering 180 degrees out to 40 feet (12 m), with three custom zones. You can set the distance at which the tracking light kicks in, which Anker says helps avoid lighting up the neighbors.
• Power: a 5.5-watt solar panel and a 15,000mAh battery. IP65 weather rating.
• Size and weight: 7.28 x 7.13 x 9.84 inches, 2.2 pounds.
• Ecosystem: works with other eufy cameras through HomeBase S380, and Anker lists Apple Home and Google Home compatibility. Anker says it stores data locally first, processes biometric data on the device and charges no monthly fees.

What to check before you buy

Apple Home: Anker's release lists Apple Home compatibility. Talk Android's preorder report from Oct. 16 said Google Home works directly, while Apple Home support goes through the HomeBase S380. If Apple Home matters to you, check eufy's compatibility notes before ordering. That report also listed microSD storage up to 256GB (card sold separately) and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

Placement: a pan-tilt camera with a moving spotlight needs a mounting spot with a clear view of the path you care about. If your only good spot is a shady wall, plan for less solar charging. If a fixed view of your front door is all you need, a simpler camera will cost less. Anker calls the TrackLight Cam S1 the world's first outdoor security camera with an auto-tracking light. That's Anker's claim, and we haven't tested the camera.
