Full product details
The eufy 4K NVR S4 Max (E8E0012A) is a wired PoE security camera system with one eufy NVR S4 and four PoE Cam S4 Bullet-PTZ cameras. Each camera combines an 8MP fixed wide-angle lens with two 4MP PTZ lenses for 16MP aggregate triple-lens imaging, 360° horizontal PTZ coverage, 0–70° tilt, 8× hybrid zoom, color and infrared night modes, person, vehicle, pet and stranger recognition, cross-camera tracking, two-way audio and IP65 outdoor protection.
The NVR provides eight PoE ports, local AI processing, Smart Video Search and support for 24/7 local recording after a compatible 3.5-inch SATA surveillance hard drive is installed. No hard drive is included. Storage is expandable up to 16TB. The system can support up to 16 channels with a compatible PoE switch and supported eufy camera mix; each Bullet-PTZ camera uses two channels.
The package includes the NVR, four cameras, four 59 ft / 18 m Ethernet cables, one 3.3 ft / 1 m Ethernet cable, an HDMI cable, power adapter, USB mouse, four waterproof connector-cover packs, four mounting brackets, four screw packs and a quick-start guide. The NVR connects to a router by Ethernet and can be accessed through a local display, the eufy app or Eufy’s web portal. Wireless eufy device support requires the separately sold T8709 Wi-Fi module.
WHY CHOOSE S4 MAX
One wired system. More useful context at every angle.
Designed for buyers who want a fixed overview and PTZ detail from each included camera, with local NVR intelligence and a planned Ethernet connection to every position.
Build around local NVR intelligence
The NVR processes supported detection, tracking and search functions locally, while recording remains under your storage plan.
Use a deliberate wired PoE foundation
A single Ethernet route carries power and video to each included camera, creating a dependable installation plan without a separate camera power outlet.
PLAN BY ZONE
Where a four-camera PoE system can make sense
Think in approaches and priority zones—not unsupported range promises. Four included cameras can be positioned around the areas that matter most to your property.
PROPERTY PERIMETER
Larger residences
Plan the four camera positions around entrances, side approaches and the routes people and vehicles actually use.
APPROACH ROUTES
Driveways and side access
Combine a broad overview with PTZ detail where vehicles, gates and side-yard routes create overlapping priorities.
SMALL COMMERCIAL
Shops, offices and workshops
Use the included positions for selected entry, parking and service zones when a four-camera wired layout matches the property.
HOW THE SYSTEM FITS TOGETHER
One Ethernet route carries power and video to each camera
The included cameras connect by PoE to the NVR. The recorder connects to your router for networked access, while a local display and the included mouse support on-site control.
- PoE Cam S4 Four included cameras
- NVR S4 Power, video and local AI
- Router Ethernet network connection
- Display, app or web Choose the viewing method that fits
THREE-LENS CAMERA DESIGN
Fixed context and movable detail work together
Each included camera combines an 8MP fixed wide-angle lens with two 4MP PTZ lenses. That is 16MP aggregate triple-lens imaging—not a single 16MP stream.
Follow useful movement
The PTZ assembly provides 360° horizontal movement and 0–70° tilt, with 8× hybrid zoom. The system page also specifies 3× optical zoom.
Track across supported S4 views
Cross-camera tracking can coordinate supported S4 views when the installation and detection path allow the handoff.
Choose the night view that fits
Supported night modes provide practical viewing options after dark without relying on an invented infrared-distance claim.
Sort common detection categories
Supported local detection categories include people, vehicles, pets and strangers, helping organize relevant events.
Search recorded events more naturally
Smart Video Search can help locate supported recorded events using descriptive queries, without a subscription for the documented function.
Use two-way audio where appropriate
The included camera family supports two-way audio for compatible live-view and response workflows.
INSTALLATION PLANNING
Plan the cable routes before you plan the camera views
PoE simplifies power and video to one Ethernet cable per camera, but it still requires deliberate routing, safe mounting, weatherproof connections and an indoor location for the recorder.
Manufacturer guidance
Route one Ethernet cable per camera
Each included camera receives power and carries video over its Ethernet connection to the NVR or a supported PoE network.
Manufacturer guidance
Plan mounting around 2–3 metres
The manufacturer recommends a camera mounting height of approximately 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft), subject to the property and safe installation practice.
Manufacturer guidance
Protect every outdoor connection
Use the included waterproof connector covers and orient cable joints to reduce water exposure, with cable exits facing downward where the installation allows.
Manufacturer guidance
Keep the NVR indoors with airflow
Place the recorder indoors within its -10°C to 40°C operating range and allow about 20 mm of side ventilation clearance.
Manufacturer guidance
Install a compatible surveillance hard drive
A user-installed 3.5-inch SATA surveillance HDD is required for local recording. Capacity is supported up to 16TB.
ClearVero planning note
Confirm the viewing workflow before mounting
Decide where the router, NVR and local display will sit, and verify that your intended app, web or on-site workflow matches the network plan.
BEFORE YOU BUY
A strong fit when you can support wired planning
The system is designed around eufy cameras and a local NVR. These boundaries help prevent incompatible purchases and unrealistic expansion plans.
A good fit for a wired installation
Choose this system when you can route one Ethernet connection to each of the four intended camera positions.
Designed for eufy cameras only
The NVR S4 platform does not provide a verified path for third-party PoE cameras.
Eight PoE ports and eight included streams
The recorder has eight PoE ports. Each Bullet-PTZ camera uses two video streams, so the four included cameras account for eight streams.
Expansion requires compatible planning
The system can support up to 16 channels with a compatible PoE switch and a supported eufy camera mix; this is not a promise of eight additional Bullet-PTZ cameras.
Wireless eufy devices need a T8709 receiver
Support for compatible wireless eufy devices requires a separate T8709 receiver. Availability is not promised with this kit.
A monitor is not included
An HDMI cable and USB mouse are included, but a display must be supplied separately if you want local on-site viewing.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
The details buyers usually want to confirm
Straight answers about storage, installation, compatibility and what is included.
Does this system include a hard drive?
No. Local recording requires a compatible user-installed 3.5-inch SATA surveillance hard drive, up to 16TB.
Can it record continuously?
Yes, after a compatible surveillance HDD is installed. Continuous local recording is not available from the box because this E8E0012A configuration includes no hard drive.
How many cameras are included?
Four PoE Cam S4 Bullet-PTZ cameras are included with one NVR S4 recorder.
Why do four cameras use eight channels or streams?
Each Bullet-PTZ camera presents two video streams to the NVR: a fixed overview and a PTZ view. Four included cameras therefore account for eight streams.
Can the system expand beyond the included cameras?
The platform can support up to 16 channels with a compatible PoE switch and a supported mix of eufy cameras. This should not be read as support for eight additional Bullet-PTZ cameras.
Can I connect third-party PoE cameras?
No verified third-party camera path is documented for the NVR S4. Plan around supported eufy cameras.
Can it work with wireless eufy devices?
Compatible wireless eufy devices require a separate T8709 receiver. That receiver is not part of this kit, and its availability is not promised here.
Is a monitor included?
No. The package includes an HDMI cable and USB mouse, but the monitor or television is supplied separately.
What cable does each camera need?
Each included camera needs one Ethernet route for PoE power and video. Four 59 ft / 18 m Ethernet cables are included.
Can the cameras be installed outdoors?
The included cameras are IP65 rated and specified for -30°C to 45°C (-22°F to 113°F). Outdoor connections still require correct waterproofing and safe installation.
Where should the NVR be installed?
Keep the NVR indoors within its -10°C to 40°C operating range and allow about 20 mm of side ventilation clearance.
What mounting height is recommended?
The manufacturer recommends approximately 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft), subject to the property, mounting surface and safe access.
Is the camera's 8× zoom optical?
No. The verified system description specifies 8× hybrid zoom. The system page separately specifies 3× optical zoom.
Does Smart Video Search require a subscription?
The documented Smart Video Search function is presented as available without a subscription. Its usefulness depends on supported recordings and queries.
