eufyCam 2C 3-Cam Kit, Security Camera Wireless Outdoor, Home Security System, HomeKit Compatibility, 1080p HD, IP67, Night Vision, Motion Only Alert, No Monthly Fee

I have been very happy with this new security camera set so far. For a cheap base model set, it has impressive features. The signal to the cameras outside my house is strong from its basestation inside. The picture quality is clear and has sufficient resolution. The night vision also works well. The motion detection range is proportional to the camera height. At about 6.75 ft height the detection distance is about 10.75 ft and at 8.25 ft height the detection distance is about 12 ft (diagonal distance). The camera sees further than this, naturally, but these ranges are those necessary to trigger the camera to record. Outside this range motion is not detected. It also distinguishes between people and animals. My cats don't trigger it, which is nice. The alarm option on detection is loud and will definately get attention. It's probably something most people will not want on most of the time because you don't want a burgler alarm going off for UPS or Amazon deliveries. The ability to speak through the cameras is also nice (has about a 1 second delay). Be careful charging the cameras. You definitely should use a high amperage USB charger (2 A). They will take unacceptably long to charge on a lower amperage plugin (like a USB charging port on a surge protector). Another minor annoyance charging is that the micro-USB charging port is recessed on the bottom of the camera and covered with a flap (to prevent water getting it). The recessed hole on the camera is smaller than the dimensions of the plastic surrounding the male end of most mini-USB charging cables so finding cables that will fit might be problematic when charging multiple cameras. It only comes with 1 cable. I had 3 others in my cable drawer and only 1 would fit. The app is easy to use and intuitive and makes the setup straightforward. Just add your basestation first in the app, then the cameras individually. Overall, this is a very good entry level system.

I've had three Arlo Pro 2 cameras for several years now and was fairly happy with them. They advertise "High Definition" video and when I saw the actual recordings, they're more like 800x600 or maybe 1024x768. Detection is slow and sometimes I catch people walking away from the house, but not approaching. Arlo Pro 2 was the last model that allowed 2 weeks of free online storage. All Newer Arlos require a subscription service to be even minimally useful (you can't view videos when away from the house if you don't subscribe). Batteries lasted a month, maybe two, which I thought was great. Arlo's online access has 2-factor which RARELY works first try. I have tried 3 push-notifications that never worked, and resorted to 2ndary option of SMS, which usually works. Many times, immediately after logging into the app or the website, I'm immediately logged out and told I need to log in again. Arlo frustrates me regularly. I got some Eufy cameras for additional surveillance of my car and front door. Video quality is better than Arlo, but still not what I would call HiDef like a HiDef movie or TV show. Different settings may yield higher quality, but I'm opting for battery life since video quality is good enough. The batteries TRULY last 180 days, which is AMAZING, considering they're capturing over 2,000 20-second video clips during that timeframe (using Optimal Battery Life setting). I can view videos anywhere for free. Online storage goes back at least 30 days!! I can set up an RTSP NAS device (like Ubiquiti - $200) to store videos locally, or you can use an SD card--but this card can't be removed and used in your computer to retrieve videos. You must access videos through the base station to decrypt them. They don't have easy-to-use local USB storage like Arlo, which is unfortunate. I've had a couple instances where our car left the parking spot and was not detected, but I get a notification when it then comes back--or the person at the front door has 10 or 20 seconds of their presence missing between clips or before/after a clip, but this is rare. I also have a notification for our front door (sound set to "Knock Knock") which is REALLY handy and instantaneous in most cases. Someone walks up and my phone alerts "Knock Knock" even before the doorbell rings (especially useful when deliveries are left). This is really cool when you're on vacation and you get a knock knock to find out a package was left--so you notify a neighbor to pick it up for you. At this point, Eufy is my recommendation for home cameras when compared to Arlo. I was given some newer Arlo cameras and was completely disappointed when I discovered I needed a subscription to use them, and the batteries only lasted a week or so. My years-old Arlo Pro 2 batteries still last a month, for cryin' out loud. Eufy's battery life of 4 months minimum (near my street parking, where every passing car triggers it) to 6 months (front door) is just amazing. Video quality is great--not excellent. Detection is really good, too. Storage, access, and usability meets all my needs.

What really impressed me about the wireless camera system is just how simple it is to setup. Unbox, charge, download the app, connect to your wifi network, install the cameras and you're done. The picture quality for both day and night meet my requirements, zones with notifications actually work as designed, and the rechargeable battery life seems to be on-point for 6mo mark. My cameras are installed outside under eve out of direct sunlight. Hopefully this will keep the camera working properly, time will tell.

Great product. Love the look, aesthetics,and ease of app usage. However installation instructions are definitely not to the mark: 1. The app doesn't specify that wifi connection must be at 2.4GhZ only. 2. The standard camera displayed on the installation wizard isn't accurate. You need to type and search for 2C and only then it displays the camera you need to install. Else it will just say " wrong QR" and won't explain why it isn't working. It's especially frustrating with multiple QR codes on each camera. On the home base. On the box. Etc. 3. When plugged in it still uses the battery and then recharges the battery. Not sure why that is important. Light, camera, mic and speakers are all good.

Excellent product with a truly user-friendly setup—installation was quick and hassle-free. After testing nearly four other brands, Eufy stands out for its reliability and performance. Video quality is sharp, even in low light, and the app is intuitive to use. Motion detection is accurate without being overly sensitive. No subscription is required for basic features, which is a huge plus. Build quality feels premium and durable for outdoor use. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dependable home security solution.

Las mejores cámaras que he comprado. Las quise usar con el sistema de Apple pero consumen mucha batería, y mejor decidí usar su propia app. Tiene muchas opciones para su gestión y administración de su uso. La batería no rinde lo que indican si la zona tiene mucho movimiento. Entre más movimiento más consumen ya que graba y eso consume batería. Es importante que instales un panel solar o que lo dejes conectado a la corriente. Yo tenía instalada una que da hacia la calle y cada minuto hay movimiento y por tanto tenía que cargarlas cada dos semanas (se vuelve tedioso y están instaladas en lo alto). Entonces tuve que comprar unos paneles solares que me costaron menos de 40 dólares por dos. Eso hizo que su uso se volviera perfecto y actualice su configuración para que grabe más tiempo. La base con la que viene guarda todos los videos grabados sin tener que pagar suscripciones. Existen una opción de enlace con iCloud pero consumiría memoria de tu nube. La memoria de la base es de 15gb aprox y lleva la mitad de uso en 53 días pero se puede resetear si lo requieres. Creo que son las mejores cámaras y su construcción es muy sólida. Ha llovido y nada les ha afectado. Puedes comprarlas con confianza y recomiendo que sea en alguna promoción o descuento. Hay otras opciones de cámaras mucho más baratas pero esas si construcción de los plásticos son de mala calidad que se ponen amarillos por el sol o no resisten la lluvia a largo plazo, además que sus aplicaciones tienen publicidad y se resetean solas.

Quality security cameras. Very easy to set up, just follow the verbal instructions from the base unit. Much better than the system it replaced, as its cameras kept going offline. Strongly recommend. We will see how long the batteries stay charged in subzero weather.

Muy buenas cámaras, sin embargo si hay mucha actividad en el lugar que están probablemente la batería dure poco y nada que no se solucione con cargarla durante un par de horas y te olvidas por unos meses, es compatible con HomeKit
