Eufy Indoor Cam E30 now in black: Apple Home support, 4K pan‑tilt, and local storage

Eufy has refreshed its 4K Indoor Cam E30 lineup with a new black color option. The hardware and features remain the same: high‑detail 4K video, 360° pan/tilt, local storage options, and Apple Home support (HomeKit). For privacy‑minded smart‑home users, it’s a compact camera that works without a mandatory cloud plan.

Key features (unchanged)

• Video: 4K (3840×2160) capture at up to 15 fps with a wide field of view.
• Pan/Tilt: 360° horizontal pan (motorized) and tilt, with subject tracking.
• AI detection: On‑device human/pet detection; two‑way audio for talk‑through.
• Night vision: Infrared night mode plus a small spotlight for color night vision.
• Local storage: microSD card slot (up to 128GB) and optional HomeBase S380 hub support (up to 16TB) for subscription‑free recording.
• Smart home: Apple Home (HomeKit), Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant compatibility. Note: Home app streaming is typically 1080p; full 4K and advanced controls are in the Eufy Security app.
• Connectivity: 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi; works with Bluetooth accessories like speakers via assistant ecosystems.

What’s new

• Black finish: A stealthier look that blends into darker interiors, media consoles, or studio spaces.
• Apple Home at launch pricing: Regional promos may apply at release; check your local Eufy store or retailer listings for intro deals.

Pricing and availability

• Typical street price (white): around $100–$130 in the US, depending on retailer and promos.
• Black variant: rolling out now; pricing may match the white model with limited‑time intro discounts in some regions.

Why it matters

• Privacy & cost control: Local recording via microSD or HomeBase lets you skip monthly cloud fees.
• Apple Home integration: Easy automations with other HomeKit devices; use the Eufy app for full‑quality 4K playback and settings.
• Simple upgrade: The new black finish expands placement options without changing a proven feature set.

Tip: If you plan to rely on local storage, pair the E30 with a high‑endurance microSD card (rated for continuous recording) or consider HomeBase S380 for longer retention and centralized management.

Discussion: Do you prefer locally stored footage (microSD/HomeBase) for privacy and cost, or are cloud features worth the subscription for your household?
