eufy SecurityeufyCam 2C Pro 2-Cam Kit Security Camera outdoor wireless, 2K Resolution, 180-Day Battery Life, IP67 Water-Resistant, Night Vision, No Monthly Fee,Home Security System

Bought for monitoring the dogs and being able to access the footage. Perfect for what I needed and no subscription. Yes it's a bit to pay up front, but in the long run much cheaper than other subscriptions I've had in the past. Very easy to set up

Spot on easy to set up too

UPDATESo, I've had this system just over a month, and I thought I'd update this review to reflect my current views.To be honest, most of what I said originally still stands for me - this is a good system but not perfect. during usage I've noticed the following:-Battery appears to be as good as promised, I've lost one notch of the four on my front camera, and my driveway camera is still showing as full charge-I haven't noticed any improvement on the delayed start, meaning that you do not get all movement captured. For example, if I exit via my back door and walk to my garage, the camera should capture me as soon as I step out of my house, but I'm often a few feet towards the garage before it starts to record-I still notice that recordings stutter (although not a huge amount and this could be due to my broadband)-The two way communication is great, in fact, we were out once when our postman tried to deliver a package, I had a nice conversation with him via the front camera, asking him to leave the package on my drive behind our bins (which he did) I also didn't feel the need to rush home as the other camera was keeping a watchful eye on it-We've had some bad weather (high winds and heavy rain) and this hasn't affected the cameras at all - although I have also purchased covers (which I've also reviewed) so this may be the reasonORIGINAL REVIEWI conducted a lot of research before I decided to purchase this camera bundle, and my findings made me realise that no matter what system I looked at, there were always a large number of positive reviews with just enough really negative reviews to make me doubt whether I should proceed or not. It got to the point where I was going to give up, however, something about eufy appealed to me, so I took a chance.To be honest, I’ve only owned the camera for two days, so it’s impossible for me to give a completely balanced review at this point, however, I will provide my initial thoughts and then revisit in a month or so to update.Style:Part of my reason for picking eufy, is I do find they make very attractive equipment - the design of the cameras is effortlessly stylish and even the packaging they came in (which is clearly Apple inspired) feels very premium.Set-up:This part really is easy, and it’s drawn in crayon within the eufy manual. There really is no getting it wrong, i.e. connect the ethernet between the base unit and your router; plug-in and switch on; download the eufy app and follow the instructions. Similarly, installing the cameras to an external wall was very easy (and I’m by no means a DIY expert). You’re supplied with a template that shows where to drill the holes and extra Rawlplugs and screws (just in case you mess up). I especially liked that it told me what size drill bit I should use.Functionality:Here is the part I will have to revisit in my update, however, my first impressions are really positive. The app is great, filled with lots of features to let you customise how you want the cameras to behave, and the picture quality from the cameras themselves is really good (which you’d expect with 2k). That being said, I do feel that an intruder could still be difficult to identify unless they come really close and look directly into the lens - it would have been good to have the ability to zoom in and retain crystal clear imagery, however, when I pinch to zoom on my iPhone things do get a little blocky. The quality is of course better when I transfer it over to my Mac, but it’s not perfect.I do really like that you can set it up to just capture human movement or all movement. I have the camera that monitors my drive/garage to just capture people, whereas the camera that covers the front of my house is set to capture everything, so records vehicles as well. The downside is that the recording and notification system are not instantaneous - don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty fast, but I can easily walk onto my drive and get a few feet before it’ll start recording. This isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but a faster response could make all the difference in some scenarios. I haven’t tried the two-way communication yet (although no doubt I’ll soon be freaking the neighbours kids out when I see them on my driveway!) but I have noted that the sound quality from the speakers is quite good when listening.Should you buy it:Well, it all depends on your need. If you want a state of the art system that will capture and record every movement and provide detailed evidence should you be unfortunate enough to fall victim to criminal activity, then this may not be the system for you. If, like me, you’re just after a deterrent and some peace of mind when away from the home, then you can’t really go wrong with this package.Summary:I would currently split the advantages and disadvantages as follows:Advantages:-Easy to install, set-up and use-Great quality picture (even at night) and lots of features to customise how you want each camera to work-Easy to expand with additional cameras or the eufy doorbell-No monthly or annual fees-Great battery life (although I won’t know how true the 180 day claim is yet)-WeatherproofDisadvantages:-Expected slightly better quality from the image given it’s 2k-Sometimes stutters on recordings (this could be due to my internet speed though)-Doesn’t capture movement instantly

We like this. Simple to set up and use we have a camera set up internally and externally so that anybody entering the property will be captured on camera when it’s armed. Lot better than just the standard audible alarm. By using the app we receive notifications in real time

Very easy to set up and use with clear pictures when activated also no monthly subscription to pay

I'll begin by stating I very rarely post reviews and only do for this because I the product support of a faulty camera a couple of weeks outside of warranty is extremely poor.I do not recommend the EUFY product or system.The system and cameras are of reasonable qualityI purchased a EUFY system with several cameras and Base in July 2022. Setup was relatively simple, but cameras do not activate /record all human movements (which is a worry for security). The battery life is poor. They charge quickly but do not hold charge well.A couple of weeks ago, I noticed one camera had disconnected from the system, which usually means it has ran out of battery.I attempted to charge the camera but it did not. It just got very hot even though it was connected to the Homebase via the original cable.I attempted to re-sync the camera after charging but it was completely dead.I contacted EUFY via email who promptly responded asking lots of questions and giving basic troubleshooting advice that didn't work.I gave them the serial number and purchase invoice as requested. Thereafter they said the camera is out of warranty, thank you for all the information I'd given, they will record it diligently but you can go and float as we will not replace the camera despite the 'Technical support window' only closing on 14th July 2024.I think this is extremely poor service that highlights the intent of the company. Clearly the cameras batteries are not fit for purpose as they fail a couple of weeks outside of warranty.It may be worthwhile paying for the RING products instead of these chancers.

Great cameras easy to fit and setup

Good service and a good product
