Video Quality

Similarities
The cameras of both the E30 and E340 models cover a full 360-degree field of view horizontally, allowing for comprehensive monitoring of the entire surrounding area. We can pan/tilt the camera manually through the app, set it to pan/tilt automatically to follow detected motion, or through auto-patrol.
Both models also equally feature color night vision, allowing us to see full-color footage at night instead of the traditional black-and-white infrared night vision. It is particularly useful when trying to identify specific details like clothing colors or vehicle paint.
Differences
The eufy Floodlight E340 offers a dual-camera setup featuring a 2K telephoto camera and 3K wide-angle camera, both working together to provide up to 8x digital zoom and 3x optical zoom.
The E30 model only features a single 2K camera, which limits its zoom capabilities and overall image detail compared to the E340.
In addition, while both floodlight cameras have the same 360-degree horizontal field of view, they have different vertical viewing angles.
eufy Floodlight E340 captures a wider 120-degree vertical field of view compared to the E30's 70-degree vertical coverage. That means we can see more up and down with the E340 model.
Lighting

Similarities
Both the eufy Floodlight E30 and E340 have two light panels above their camera, which emit up to 2,000 lumens of brightness. The lights are dimmable, but the temperature remains fixed at 4000K for both models.
The floodlight can be triggered by motion detection, set to follow a specific schedule, or manually controlled through the app. We can use it not only to scare off intruders but also as ambient lighting when returning home at night.
Differences
None.
Smart Features

Similarities
eufy Floodlight E30 and E340 share so many common smart features, including motion detection, subject lock and tracking, 24/7 continuous recording, two-way audio, and a built-in siren. All of these features can be controlled and customized through the eufy Security app.
Both cameras also support local storage if you insert up to 128GB microSD card. That's enough for 6 days of continuous 2K video recording or 3 months of motion-triggered event recordings (assuming about 45 motion events per day). This storage can further be expanded if you connect the camera to a separately sold HomeBase.
Differences
While both cameras feature AI detection that identifies specific objects instead of just detecting general motion, the E340 has more advanced capabilities by being able to recognize pets in addition to humans and vehicles that the E30 can detect.
If you're a pet owner interested in monitoring your furry friends' outdoor activities, the E340 would be the better choice.
Installation

Similarities
Both cameras require a hardwired installation with a power supply of 100V-240V AC, 50-60 Hz, and can be mounted on either a wall or ceiling based on user preference and monitoring requirements.
Differences
eufy Floodlight E30 only supports a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, while the E340 model works with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. The latter makes your floodlight camera more futureproof, as 5 GHz networks generally offer faster speeds and less interference.

Final Thoughts
eufy Floodlight E340
Being the more expensive model, eufy Floodlight E340 is indeed superior in terms of camera, AI detection, and Wi-Fi support. Its dual-camera setup for better zooming capabilities, wider vertical viewing angle, advanced pet detection, and 5 GHz Wi-Fi support make it worth the extra $70 for those who value these additional features.
However, if budget is your priority, the E30 model still offers solid core features like 2K video, color night vision, human and vehicle detection, 24/7 recording, and local storage. It remains the more cost-effective choice for those who want basic, reliable security monitoring features.
