eufy Security eufyCam 2C 2-Cam Kit, Wireless Home Security System, 180-Day Battery Life, HomeKit Compatible, 1080p HD, IP67 Weatherproof, Night Vision, No Monthly Fee

Great Consumer Level Product!
I’ve worked in the electronic security field for the past 7 years. I want to start by saying that, because I’ve seen some pretty advanced systems for big businesses, that I won’t mention here for security reasons. That should help validate this review for anyone who’s unsure about this product.Would this work for a multi billion dollar company? No.For your everyday household on the other hand, this product is incredible. No hassle install, loaded with features, and innovative (user friendly) application interface.IR – works beautifully at night. Quality is that of Axis cameras, which one of those cameras goes for about the price of this whole bundle itself in comparison.Video quality – crystal clear, even when streaming and not viewing recorded. Pro tip, if your stream is of bad quality, download a clip to compare. Sometimes it’s network related, and real time video is not a good indicator of how it actually records, because that’s dependent on bandwidth. That said, I haven’t noticed a difference between the two, which is a sign of good bandwidth and quality network hardware on these devices.Motion – I setup a motion mask on all cameras. I want to be notified, but not for cars going by. That said, I’m still tweaking the motion mask. This is the only area that’s given me any trouble, but I think it’s because I’m only allowed to make square shapes. I could be wrong, maybe you can make other shapes. I’ll update if I figure that out (only have created motion masks on mobile app, so need to try web app next to verify).No monthly fees – this is where Eufy has the market in my opinion. Have you ever heard of camera licensing? Well…every major VMS (video management system) company, that is reputable, charges a “license” fee (recurring charge) per camera channel. That adds up over time. The fact this was a one and done payment, and it has all of this functionality, really caught my eye. Now that I’ve tested, and can verify its quality, I’d recommend this system to anyone. Already have recommended it to my fellow security industry colleagues for their own homes.Well done Eufy! Thanks for making a quality product, with no monthly fees!

Good Security Camera, Good Value
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 don’t write reviews often but was very impressed with the EufyCam 2C (purchased two sets and several add on cameras for usage at two different locations). I’m a current owner of cameras from Nest (Nest IQ indoor), Wyze (Wyze V2 cam) and Blink (Blink XT2). The EufyCam 2C has easily replaced the Blink XT2 as my recommendation for outdoor wireless camera for the following reasons:1) Wider field of view (2C is 135 degrees vs. 110 for the Blink XT2)2) Higher resolution recordings. By default, the Blink XT2 is set to record at “standard” resolution within the app, which is actually 720p (this has to be manually toggled to “best” by the user which is 1080p). I found this out the hard way when reviewing footage on my computer and noticing the subpar quality. The 2C records at 1080p.3) Actual battery percentage meter. The Blink XT2 app only lets users know if the battery is “OK” or needs to be replaced. The 2C has a granular battery percentage meter. Although this may seem like a small deal, it’s important to know when your outdoor cameras are about to run out of batteries so that you can charge them before extended absences from your home (i.e. vacations). There are numerous folks on the Blink forums who have had their cameras just go offline without any notice that the batteries were depleted.4) Built in rechargeable lithium batteries. The Blink XT2s use disposable Energizer lithium batteries. These can cost anywhere from 1-2 dollars CAD per piece, with two required per camera per swap. This adds up quite quickly as the cameras, when set to a sensitivity level that is useful, run out of batteries quick. Third party options for alternate power are quite limited. The 2Cs have integrated lithium batteries charged over micro USB. They are capable of taking up to 2A at 5V so charge quite rapidly. Battery percentage is quickly accessible via the app.5) On device AI. The Blink XT2 is “dumb” in the sense that all PIR fluctuations are recorded as events. This is quite frustrating and results in tons of false notifications regardless on how diligently the user sets motion sensitivity and activity zones. The EufyCam 2C can be set to notify on all motion but also has optional on device AI which notifies only for people. The AI is quite robust and for my application (cameras located outside of my place) resulted in approximately 1 false notification every 2-3 days on average, even with the cameras on maximum sensitivity.6) Cost. The Blink XT2 regular price is 129 CAD for a single camera and sync module. The two camera setup for the 2C is 269 CAD right now with discount. The pricing is so similar that it does not make any sense to buy the XT2s because you can get a much more superior product for virtually the same price. The only flip side to this is that you have to start with the two camera setup.7) Privacy. This mattered less to me but for the privacy conscious, the EufyCam recordings are stored locally on the HomeBase 2. Just note that your experience in playing back the clips will depend on the upload speed of your ISP provided connection as the footage has to be streamed to your mobile device.8) Better included mounting gear. The mounting brackets included with the 2C are rock solid, compared with the XT2 mounts which a strong gust of wind can knock down your cameras.9) Shorter re-trigger time and longer clips. The Blink XT2 can record clips up to 60 seconds long with a re-trigger time of 10 seconds. The EufyCam 2C can record clips up to 120 seconds long with a re-trigger time of 5 seconds. You will catch more this way! This could be the difference of seeing something happen and missing it completelyConcerns/areas for improvement1) There have been a few (note: very few) instances where I feel that the on device AI may be slightly too aggressive in excluding events with people when cameras are set to people detection only2) A feature that has been in the pipeline for quite a bit of time but has not yet materialized is using the USB port on the Homebase 2 for encrypted external storage backup of recordings; this is not yet available3) The first quarter second or so of footage may not be useful as the 2C has to wake up, adjust exposure and start recording. Most of the times this interval has overexposed footageThis camera also easily matches up to the Arlo series at a fraction of the price.Overall highly recommended! Will be purchasing more cameras in the future, in particular the Eufycam 2 with longer battery life to be used in higher traffic areas around the house

Me gusto el sistema funciona muy bien pero debería de ser con tres camaras
