The short version: these two solve different problems and are worth comparing mainly because both come up in the same "camera for the side of the house" search. The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is a hardwired floodlight camera with the strongest rating and deepest review base in this matchup, at the cost of an electrician-level install and a subscription for recorded history. The eufy SoloCam S340 is a 360-degree solar pan-tilt camera with no wiring, no subscription, and no floodlight.

Where the Real Differences Are
Power and installation. The Ring connects to an existing hardwired floodlight junction box at mains voltage — a real electrical job, and one where a fair share of owners hire an electrician. The eufy is solar-powered with no wiring at all, a two-screw install anywhere with adequate sun exposure.
Floodlight deterrence. Only the Ring includes motion-activated floodlights. If bright, motion-triggered illumination is a specific requirement, the eufy simply does not compete in that category.
Subscription and storage. The eufy records to 8GB of built-in storage with no monthly fee. The Ring’s recorded video history sits behind a Ring Protect subscription, the same as the rest of Ring’s lineup.
Rating and review depth. Ring leads clearly, with both a higher average rating and a much deeper review base than eufy's.
Coverage. The eufy’s 360-degree pan-tilt design covers a wider arc from one mounting point; the Ring Floodlight Cam has a fixed field of view aimed where its floodlights point.
Winner by Use Case
Best where an existing floodlight fixture is already wired: Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus, both for deterrent lighting and the strongest owner rating.
Best where running power is impractical or you rent: eufy SoloCam S340, on no-wiring solar installation.
Best for avoiding a monthly fee entirely: eufy SoloCam S340, on built-in local storage.
Best all-round rated, most reviewed option: Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus, by a wide margin.

Verdict
Choose the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus if you have (or can install) mains wiring and want both the strongest-rated camera in this matchup and genuine floodlight deterrence. Choose the eufy SoloCam S340 specifically if no-wiring installation and avoiding a subscription matter more than floodlight illumination and outright rating.
