From the best doorbells to one of the best outdoor cams. impressive eufy, most impressive.
Freakin' awesome review. Thanks for taking the time to do such a detailed review. One big reason I like this is the instruction booklet has ZERO info about all the settings as detailed in this vid. Basically, the booklet says: insert the SD card, download the app and plug it in. This vid is a must-see instruction list.
I'm new to security cams. After poring over numerous reviews I settled on the Eufy Cam Pro and I'm very happy with it so far. Easy to setup and use. Good job on the video, it's a very good overview of the cam.
I recently bought this and it's fantastic. I just did a review on the site I bought it from and here is a copy/paste of that for anyone that wants this extra info:
>The power cable length isn't mentioned here but it's 20ft. If it's too short (depending on where you put it) just extend it with an extension cable as that's the best method. If you make a hole in a wall (like I did) for it you will need to make it about 12mm to fit the micro usb connector through. The cable itself is 4mm in width. Then seal up with putty or something once it's run through. If you do this, leave a little slack on the outside in case you ever want to move it!
>The quality is pretty decent, not the absolute best but should be good enough for most people in home use as long as it's not looking too far away. Mine is about 10m from the central focus point and sees details just fine.
>The motion detection works great. Haven't had any false triggers yet, it's only triggered on spotting people (us while testing. Have it set to human only). The car coming up/down drive didn't trigger it, bugs didn't, nor has any vehicle on the road triggered it, day or night.
>The night vision is good but as I found out after first night, if your mounting on a wall and you have white walls, keep them out of view of the camera (the part that is right next to the camera at least) otherwise the night vision will see it very bright and make the rest of the image too dark as it messes with the exposure.
>You can use continuous recording, which I would recommend getting at least a 64gb micro sd card if you're going to use that. Approx values on how much it will store: 32gb - 3 days, 64gb - 6 days, 128gb - 12 days. Continuous recording is just in 1080p to maximise storage. It will still detect motion and notify you though which is good.
>Mount it high, as the camera is only attached magnetically to the base, so any unwanted people can't reach it.
>Spotlight is good but depends on how far away from focal point the camera is. You can set schedule, or have it auto come on with motion but if it does, the camera will switch to colour mode instead of night vision and if it isn't enough light you won't see much. The alarm is loud should you want to use that. The speaking through camera comes out well but is a bit laggy and cuts off the voice sometimes.
Hope that can help you.
Nice review. I’m debating between the c24 and the L40. Idk which one to go with between the 2.
The camera is overly sensitive. I don't know what your situation is, but a headlight from up the road will trigger it. A passing car will trigger it, and the funny thing is that the camera is not pointed at the street. Shaking leaves on my tree will trigger it. A small child walking will trigger the motion notification, but the child will NOT trigger a "human" notification. I have the setting at it's very lowest, and the results are always the same. Even rain will trigger it. So is this camera something to consider? Make sure you can return it after trying it!
@@surgemas Well either yours is faulty or you didn't set it up right. I've had mine for a few months now and can count on my hand how many false triggers there have been, and they've only happened at night in the night vision. It's also never missed a person. Mine is quite high up looking down towards a crossing point of our drive. It can see the neighbours house below and the road to the right. You need to make sure you also set the detection area if you haven't. Mine is also on the default medium sensitivity. Of course a lot of people are going away from Eufy right now due to the supposed scandal but I couldn't care less about it.
@@hhova29 Couldn't tell you what the other one is like. I wanted a wired one not a battery one so I didn't even bother looking at any that were battery powered.
Does it have to be really close pf the wifi signal ?
Thanks for reviewing all their camera! This series has been extremely helpful! (:
Eufy should make this outdoor cam pro, a staple and continue to make these outdoor cams!!.
Great quality, great reaction time. I’ll be purchasing these cameras. I actually like the camera size as opposed to the wireless models. Great review.
Thank you for the breakdown of the details. You made it easy to connect .
After watching this this review, I got 2.set Of this model 2 set of S40 2 set cam 2C pro. 1 set doorbell Dual camera battery powered.Just finished mounting them all 3days ago have been been trying to review all of them, over all I prefer this little C2 is very amazing greater than all this expensive ones , I have inverter with steady light so I don’t care about the battery, I mounted one on my living room, and one at my garden. I highly recommend this eufy camp pro. It worth it .
Been waiting for your review of this camera. Thank you!
You are welcome
Exactly everything I wanted to know! What an outstanding review! Sub’d. 👍🏻
Eufy not only has great products, they have spectacular customer service! I have the E system and had one camera go blurry so I contacted Eufy and sent the camera back to them. In no time they sent me back a new 2 camera system! When I contacted them to let them know, they said to keep the other camera. How awesome is that??👍👍👍
That’s cool. Thanks for sharing.
@@LifeHackster, my thanks go to you as because of your review I purchased the Eufy cam E system and I could not be more pleased! You are a great man!
I was dead set on getting the Wyze setup. After watching this video I purchased 2 of the Eufy Pro 2k cameras. I got lucky that my local Best Buy had them on a flash sale for $69. I bought them just in time. There was less then 3 minutes to go on this sale.
how is the camera so far
I picked them up for 50
I got them for fiddy cent each.
@@NeverDoubtMe23 I got them for 1 penny each
I just got one of these (as opposed to others) based on this thorough review. So far, I’m quite happy with it it has a wide field of view.
UPDATE 10/1/21:
So far this has done a GREAT job detecting motion and recording video. Over the last 2 months, I’ve seen an opossum and 4 house cats trying to get into my chicken run. Although Beta, the Pet detection works well.
I was wondering if you could tell me if the whole camera is magnetic. The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to find a outdoor camera to record down a flight of stairs so I would need to be able to angle it down.
@@jasonh7784 I know this is from 10 months ago, I recently bought it and its a great camera. The entire bottom half of it is magnetic so you can rotate it on the base however you want.
Thank you for sharing the product experience. It's really helpful to me.
Very impressive! Because it is always "ON" the response time is super quick, the 15fps at night looks pretty good, and audio is good. The overall picture quality is very good. In one week we had in our neighborhood 1 attempted catalytic converter theft and one theft of a catalytic converter. In front of the same neighbor's house! My wired lorex couldn't pick up the thieves because the cars were going to fast and my Reolink eco which is on a street sign was too slow to pick up the bad guys. I am convinced something powered needs to be right next to the street to identify the bad guys. This might be a home run. Thanks again for everything!
You are welcome.
@LifeHackster is there any major difference in the 1080p and 2k. They look almost identical to me on video quality. Is it worth getting the 2k or it the 1080p just as clear?
Couldn’t have asked for a better video !
Just bought this outdoor cam........ awesome little camera!
I think this cam is so new that only you have it 🤣, I already ordered one Great review
Another incredible review. I may replace my terrible Arlo Floodlight cam with this one.
Eufy at it again. Great review as usual
Thanks.
great and thorough review!
Thank You Ben, I appreciate it.
Wow. Great review, and I'm impressed by the camera! This looks like a great all-around product. The tradeoff is the in-camera storage of the footage (although you have an NAS option). In exchange, no ongoing subscription fee.
The camera can do RTSP so it can stream to an NVR which I am doing, but the camera is overly sensitive to motion notifications. You can't depend on the "human" feature all by itself.
I have been wanting to replace my blink cameras and This camera is perfect
Great info.Thank you for sharing!
You have the best reviews dude!
Thank you.
I love his voice. And yes super thorough. 😊
Just bought two of these! Great video and thorough testing really sold me on it!
Thank you!!!!
How are you getting on with these?
Great video. Thanks. 👍🏻
Awesome video like always…
I love all your videos. Keep up the great work. Can this camera be used with the home base as well? Thanks!
Just grabbed one of these cameras. Just what I was looking for. I have it facing our condo's parking lot which has a decent amount of lighting. Was worried it wouldn't go into night mode and then the spot wouldn't activate with motion. The good news is since its not a starlight sensor it does go into night mode (wyze v3 does not) and the spot light does come on with motion. But if I turn auto night mode off, the color picture is still good at night and the spotlight still goes on with motion even not in night mode. Like LifeHackster said I just wish it had a more secure base than a magnet.
😊thanks ,it’s a very informative video
Wow, very thorough review! 😀
Thank you.
Very informative video, thank you
Really good review thanks
Great review, thank you 🙏🏼
You are welcome.
Looks pretty good!
Great video, thanks!
Great review. Thanks.
Thank you for this video as well as your others as well. Any chance you can tell me about the glowing fixture on your wall? The color seems to have a gradient display that always gets my attention in your videos lol
Great detailed review. Thanks
Thank you.
Thanks LH. I will buy this one.
You are welcome.
Just found you whilst looking for a review of this camera. Excellent review keep up the good work. Subscribed. Many thanks.
Microphone is awesome! 🙌
Great review as usual. Do you happen to know a way of connecting the alarm with extra speakers??
Another great video LH. Your consistency in reviews never fades.
I'm disappointed that it won't connect to the hub, it just means you can't install it too high (and forget about it) because you'll need to retrieve the SD card at some point.
I'm not bothered by the security breach, it happens and like you said, it's just a case of what happens when things are connected to the Internet.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Why will you need to get the SD card? It will loop over once it fills up storage
@@hakimvlogs6579 Are you sure about this?
SD Cards have a limited lifespan. I'm not sure his intention, but you will definitely replace them at some point.
@@hakimvlogs6579
Great video. I plan to buy eufy camera set to set up in my home esp since there is no subscription required. So far all the reviews have noting but good comments on them as yours. Does this model have two way talk feature?
Pretty killer little cam. I really like my eufy products
Dose this camera continues record?
@@nathanshamoon1057 yes. This camera is wired to power and has a slot for SD cards up to 128gb to allow up to 12 days of 24 hour recording.
Great in-depth video. Is there no HomeKit comparability on this camera like some of the others? 😕
Just picked up the 2K E210 version so far so good 👍and the E200 1080P for inside the garage
Great review as always, does the camera detect human/pet detection at night or all motion?
Does it have pre-roll recording that gives you a few seconds before the motion trigger event?
Love the videos LH. Have you looked at the eufy doorbell 2k pro? It's a best buy exclusive and offers 5 days of continuous footage. Might be one of the best doorbells if that is true. No subscription either!
Thanks for all your testing! Here you can choose between 2K or 1080p recording but it will only record in 1080p?
Would be cold to see a review for this camera and the Eufy Cam 2 pro
Hi, great video, very informative. I just bought this camera, and was trying to look for a stand/mount that could elevate this camera a bit higher on a table, but there seems to be none suitable, since the provided base is only suitable for wall mounting, and doesn't have those standard screw holes for the typical tripod mount screws. Do you know of any stands that are suitable with this cam? The spider type twist on mounts are fine too. Thanks!!!
Thanks - Great video. Is the power to the camera USB? Do you have to pay subscription for the motion alerts?
Awesome vide. I have tough time picking wifi outdoor camera any suggestions .
Just bought this, I'm excited to use it. I have a question... which Google hub are you using?
Out of all the outdoor cameras that you reviewed which had the best resolution, kinda leaning towards the Nest iq outdoor since it has the 4K sensor and HDR quality recording but they are very expensive any other wired alternatives you can recommend that offers similar resolution?
Thanks for the sharing!
Just wonder if the cam support continous recording as other wired eufy cam? And if video can be stored at NAS?
Other than resolution and the included sd card with the c24, do you think the c24 has a faster processor than the c22 or any other features to make the c24 better than the c22? I recently bought 2 of the c22 for the continuous recording since the c24 records only in 1080p when continuous. It is nice to have the continuous recording to pre scrub video when an event is recorded.
Crystal clear
I was just about to ask is this can this make a legible recording of a parked car license plate 20 feet away, then I saw you testing with that license plate and I thought you were reading my mind ! Great review! The low light (night time) quality seemed to diminish the sharpness quite a bit, wondering if plates can still be read in low light though
Many thanks for the review! But I'm wondering if they steel the camera including the micro SD card is it right that the al the footage is gone? Or save the camera the last footage in the app? Thanks 👍
Good video, thank you! Will/can the camera siren sound continuously till it’s been manually turned off?
Great review.
Questions: wanted to know the magnetic resistance in extreme weather
And
While on the magnetic base, can you change the angles? Like more to the right out left OR more up or down?
Thanks
which would you prefer the eufy Security Solo OutdoorCam C24 4k(golf ball) or Eufy E40 ? for low traffic area? I know the older cameras hard wired is quicker with record and notification but it seems like the E40 has taken away that buffer it takes to start recording any thoughts?
nice eufy outdoor camera 2k
Good stuff
What outdoor security camera wired and wireless you recommend to use with HomeKit?
I am Karthik from India. After seeing your review i got impressed to buy this Eufy Outdoor cam E220
Whether it’s working in India.
It should.
Thanks camera megapixel?
That's a great review, new subscriber. Can I use power bank to power up this unit and use hotspot using smart phone?
I haven't tested this yet and I'm not sure.
Thank you for your videos. You said this camera does not integrate with the security system of Eufy, having a separated status mode (away, home...). Does this also happens with the Eufy 2C/2C Pro and with Eufy indoor cam? Thanks once again
Great job on the review! Does the magnetic base allow the camera to be angled to the side or only a straight on attachment? Thanks 🤙
It has a wide range of motion and you can use the magnet to attach the camera from the side. That was my concern as well and I was pleased to see the entire camera will stick to the magnetic base.
I noticed you still test motion by going across the field of view rather than going directly straight on towards the cameras. My Eufy 2c struggles with motion coming directly at it. So when someone walks up my driveway, the cam on my Garage does not detect until the person is basically 5 feet away. When you go across the field of vision, it can detect further away. Would be great is you would test motion with a direct on-coming test.
I’ll only do it with battery powered cameras because of their PIR sensor...that is the weakness of all PIR motion based cameras. Plugged in or wired cameras don’t have this issue because they are pixel, algorithm, AI based.
@@LifeHackster If I have a Ring Stick Up cam Plug-in, will it use pixel then? And if I put a battery in it and using it like a battery cam, will it then use PIR?
How much can you turn the camera on the mount? I would need to turn mine about 35 degrees in order to get the view I want... Just wondering if the entire camera is magnetic as it turns or just the back?
great review! i got mine, but it keeps saying connecting wifi fail, do you know any issue
How does this compare to the Eufy 2c Pro? I was wondering which to get.
Nice and detailed video but how many meters is the cable usb?
I was wondering, are the yet to be released Eufy Solo cameras on your radar?? I have this 2K camera on my buy list but would love a review on the new Solo cameras.
Can I ask you. What outdoor camera do recommend. I'm using hemivision 311 it's ok but it's taking forever to screen to load when checking camera at night
Is the continuous recording in looping mode? (automatically replace old clip with new recording like a dashcam.)
Does this camera have pre-record/pre-roll? (The seconds of footage before an event triggers) Thank you
Is there and option to view the continuous recording?Not only the event. Like the Wyze v3 app that yo can see the recording and forward and backward the time? Mayn thanks
What do you recommend this cam or a video doorbell?
I've been waiting for a full power option with mains power so happy to now see one. But for me the biggest let down is the unit storage is only local to the unit via SD card and NOT to the Eufy Homebase storage unit! Why this?
The security of the camera is compromised having SD card only option. Having video storage away from the camera makes so much more sense on the homebase, plus it keeps all your recordings in one place like a professional system would be. Eufys Indoor cam 2K also has only SD card option which I dislike when I already have the homebase option!!
But you’ll get the video feed on your phone don’t you? So even if the cameras stolen you can view on your phone? Am I wrong lifehackster
I was also wondering about this. If this camera only stores recorded video locally in the SD card how can you watch the recorded video on your phone? Is this only available if you pay for cloud storage subscription? If you can watch recorded video on your phone without subscription how long does a video stay accessible in the app?
This camera support rtsp, you can stream to for example raspberry pi
Does it have to positioned near the rooter? Where I want to mount it is a fair way from the rooter so I'm concerned the signal will be weak.
Does this camera constantly buffer a few seconds of video, which it adds to the footage prior to detection - like the Ring wired cam?
Question,
I like this camera but would probably always use the "Continues Record" option. I see in the settings it will only record in 1080p if I choose that option.
Since I'm stuck with 1080p with this camera, you think I should save a little money and just buy the 1080p version of this camera ?
Yes, just buy the 1080p version..there is really not a lot of difference as to the video quality.
Is there a way to view a 24/7 stream from the camera on a monitor?
If the camera were to disarm in some way maybe unplugged will it alert you?
Seems similar in concept to the Reolink Lumus - 5v power, led lights & WiFi, although it does seem to offer RTSP which the Lumus doesn't natively. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available here (UK) yet so don't know how the price would compare.
Is it possible to record 24/7 and use the camera to trigger motionrecordings with notifications like in normal mode?
Does it need to be connected to a wi-fi all the time? And what if connection lost for any reason do I still have recordings when reconnecting?
Do you have to be on the same WiFi in order to live view or can you view remotely?
My first one went pink screen after exchanging at Best Buy it’s been fine since November of last year.
Hello Lifehackster,
I appreciate the information you provided. I have a question regarding the outdoor Cam E220. You mentioned that this camera has internal storage and can record up to 12 days 24/7 with a 128GB capacity. My question is, can we connect the E220 to Homebase with a 6TB internal storage in order to record for more than 12 days continuously, or is it not possible to connect to the homebase for continuous recording?
Thank you in advance.
Is there any good solutions for power source (not including solar)? I am not a fan of having to run just a standard wall plug outside. It would make much more sense if it could be hardwired.
There are now USB ports on like lamp sockets or floodlights that you can plug this in.
thank u
