I've been looking for video reviews on this camera to hear the sound and see if I can use it to scare my cat away from scratching my new living room. And oh my goodness you're the only one who's posted such a thorough review! Keep up the great work, you're awesome!👏
Hadn't seen your productions before but you do an excellent, thorough review and I'll be using your reviews in the future for other products - good job!
based on your awesome reviews, I have bought the eufy floodlight camera and will now be buying this IP camera too, well done and keep up the great work!
Finally watched your review of this camera since I didn’t want to influence my own. Great review as always! I’m pretty excited for this one and after using it I wish I ordered more when they had the preorder discount.
Cool channel Rey... I'm not really into Homekit though even I use an Iphone and I use Siri a lot :) Let me know whenever you do the Homekit review part of the camera and I'll give you a shout out whenever I will do comparison videos of this camera...
@@LifeHackster THANKS, I'd appreciate a shout out and obviously would return the favor! Perhaps a collab of some sort? I'm waiting for Eufy to officially release the HomeKit Secure Video feature for it's cameras which is still in beta. Ironic, as I just pointed a viewer to your channel for a question asking about this cam on public wifi, I remember you did a video regarding something similar a while back. Do you have a twitter account where I can DM you?
I usually don´t ever write anything in the comments - BUT - you are sooo COOL (I like your style - you come across authentic and real - also the way you test everything and so on . . .) - based on your review I bought the camera - I live in Germany though so I can´t buy it through your link - anyways just wanted to spend a minute of my time and make you - FEEL GOOD ! ! ! LoL - all the best from Germany !
I really appreciate your reviews. They are very thorough, professional and entertaining along with informational. Thank you so much for making these and giving your honest opinion of these products. I continue to purchase more of eufy products based on your reviews and the quality of their products.
Thanks for the awesome review, just placed an order for one. Also purchased the litom solar lights because of your previous review, just received them and I’m gonna mount them soon. 🤙
Great reviews, definitely helping me in deciding what to buy and how to set up my system. Thank you very much for your efforts. Keep it up! Subscription well deserved!
thank you very much for this video, very complete indeed! I just bought one on Ali express that it's just like this one, also new version on last June so I bet it's the same camera. Can't wait to have it, my dog is getting old, deaf and blind, poor baby, so I'll be much more at ease knowing I can check on her when everyone goes out of the house. pretty impressive video! =D thank you once more!
Multumim foarte mult , singura problema este ca prea repede explicat și nu putem înțelege mai încet când ne arătați setările camerei din telefon . Crăciun fericit
Hello! I just want to Thank you for your help and information about the wyze cam. The camera was a great budget buy and I caught the person whom kept creeping around my house. Help alot..thanks again
Just found this review and I think this is great!! Can I install the app on 3 phones so that 3 of my family members can access the camera even if we're not at home? Thank you :)
I just got mine. Easy setup and image quality is really great for the price. My main gripe though is NO TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION!!!! Despite using a very strong account password, this cam is going to the garage and no more until they implement better security. Until then, my wyze cams will stick around just a bit longer. Is there any word when they are bringing 2FA to the US?
Thank you for the set up video, very helpful! I would like to know if I could set up the same camera in different places. When I am traveling will work in different homes or hotels?
Great reviews on all of the Eufy products. For the indoor camera, does it need the Eufy Homebase2 or can it be used as a stand alone unit? Thanks for your efforts!
Hi been watching a lot of your vids for a long time now and been doing some internet research as well but i still cant decide which one to get and is better overall, this eufy e220 pan tilt or tapo c210 ? it will serve as a indoor 24/7 monitoring/recording cam.. mostly when I am away, i want to be able to RELIABLY (not laggy) check my cam feed/s using other gadgets like cellphone or laptop.. OR do you have any other brand/model suggestion? Also thinking of getting 1 or 2 outdoor cam/s that can clearly see license plates of speeding motorcycles/vehicles specially during night time. thanks and happy new year!
I didn't read all the comments so please forgive if this was already asked/stated. Seems like the auto tracking would be much more valuable if it also performed autozoom. If it has person motion sensing then it should be able to zoom in at least 2x or more while tracking a moving person so you get much better detailed images from a greater distance. A lot to ask of a $50 camera but hopefully they or another company will get there soon. This would be especially helpful at night when the image quality is significantly degraded at a distance.
This camera doesn’t have an optical zoom..just digital..but as you have seen in my Arlo pro 3 floodlight review, it has a track and zoom but it was jittery and not really useable..
Great videos as always. One issue, when I turn my camera off through the app it won’t give me the option to turn it back on. I had to remove the device and reinstall
Great review👍. Quick question, does it work when I’m not home? Or do I have to be connected to the same WiFi at home? I have once but every time I’m not home it gets disconnected
Preliminary tests show that it works without the WIFI connection just as it does when connected, except of course for the notifications. Once you retain the connection to the camera you can access the stored files, which is good.
If you have 4 cameras set up per se are you able to see them all in one screen? One on each side of the corners of your phone? Top left top right bottom left bottom right? Watch all 4 simultaneously? Very curious about this feature 😊 thanks
Hello I have no cameras at the moment. Looking to get started with Eufy system after watching ur videos If I understand correctly this camera is a stand alone Piece of kit that requires no base station just a Wi-Fi signal - power source - and smartphone app. Can it be linked to a base station if you have one? Also with the battery outdoor cameras that need a base station what’s the maximum number of outdoor cameras you can have? Great videos Thanks Rich (in the UK)
This camera doesn’t require a base station and it cannot be integrated with eufys base station at this time. I think in the future Eufy will do that via firmware update. As to battery outdoor cameras, you can have up to 16 cameras per base station.
Hi there, just want to ask a question. I am about to go on long holiday. Obviously we have someone to take care of our cats. My question is, can we operate/monitor with the camera from overseas through the app? Thanks
Awesome review as usual. I wish it would tilt away/close when I disarm it and tilt back to record when I arm it - all indoors cameras at the same time.
Awesome video, I purchased this camera yesterday based from your review. Very thorough thank you. Are you able to leave motion detection on and continuously record at the same time do you know?
When I ordered mine in mid-April, they said that they'd be shipped by the end of May. Now the word is that they're "starting" to ship in June, although that really doesn't tell you a lot; there's no way to know how many will be initially shipped, how frequently they'll be shipped, and how far down the list you are.
Great video. Is this cam operated on batteries that can be re- charged ? Or does it have to be connected to power at all times ? Wanted something which is battery operated and can be carried around to different rooms. Appreciate your advise.
Will I be able to control all the features of this camera like - ''2 way audio'', ''camera on / off'' feature, etc etc, from the ''UEFI security app'' on multiple Android devices and windows computer browser as well. Thank you.
@@LifeHackster how many Android devices can I connect with this camera. And will I have equal control over the camera from the APP on all of those devices ?
@@samratpaul25 you can connect as many android devices as you want + you can download an android emulator for your PC (NOX, for example) and control your cam from your PC
LifeHackster your videos are not just entertaining but informative love the smart home reviews you put so much effort to make videos and always keep up with the latest tech products im 13 btw 👍 hope you reach 100k soon
Can you please post a picture or video, that how this camera looks like at night? So I could see how visible and bright those infralights are? thank you
Always check out your reviews before deciding on security camera. Two questions which was not covered anywhere: 1) What is the view angle of the lens? 2) If we have the base station, can it record to base station instead of the built in SD card readers?
I need a camera for home security whilst I go away abroad, just so i'm alerted to any intruders, this one looks decent and the price looks good as well, but is there any others that you recommend?
Hi, can this camera be mounted upside down like in the corner of the ceiling? Also can it be set to follow a preset route like outdoor PTZs? Love your videos.
Yes as to ceiling mounting..there is a setting in the mounting section to flip the cameras image.. as to preset..No presets or bookmarking at this time.
Very useful so thanks for sharing. Mine is working fine with the app on my iPhone, but I have been unable to get live view on my PC. Is that possible, or do I need the hub I have seen others refer to in the comments?
Hi There. Late to the party here!just two questions on this. can it be connected to two apps (ie- can me and my husband both control it?) Secondly do you need a micro usb if you dont want to record? We just want to monitor pets
Great review! The motion tracking works only during the live view, or it can be combined with motion detection? I'd like it to follow my cat when I'm not home :)
Hello, thank you for this awesome review. I would like to ask if how many device could watch live at the same time with this camera?I hope it is possible. I do want to have an idea before purchasing it. Thank you.
That's where I'm at right now. I currently have Arlo outdoor cameras but I'm waiting for Wyze's outdoor camera to be released before I decide which direction I'm going in.
Ok thanks! Just seems like the interface for Eufy is so much nicer than Arlo. Can you set a timer with the Eufy Cams to disarm for a certain time then re-arm?
So if I put this camera in the middle of The room and walk behind it, will it turn around and track me? Or do I have to place it in the corner and walk in front of or?
Are there screw holes at the bottom (mounting plate)? where you attach the the mounting plate first on the surface (let say ceiling) then you screw the base to the mounting plate.

Took me a while to realise why he said it like that but he is a genius for doing that.

You do excellent thorough reviews & you demonstrate all the things we want to see. Thank you.

Fantastic video, very detailed to the point!
I wish they offered a battery version and integration with homebase
Just get a power pack and do a pass thru.
They now have integration with the home base 3.
That would drain the battery extremely fast
This is an awesome review, its perfect for apartments. Thanks brother
great video man, this really helped me make the purchase!

Whenever you do the indoor IR part it reminds me of the show Ghost Hunters. You always have little orbs flying around..lol
How much time will 128 micro card record. Then does it write over the oldest automatically? Tks
Excellent video! Can you mount this on the ceiling and review the video without it being upside down
hi. how's the sound compared to others?
Hi there, nice review. Just wondering, can you set this up on two phones?
I have several on pre-order, to replace my very old (10 years?) TRENDnet PTZ cameras.
Cool..

Not really noticeable..
I was wondering that as well because I can hear the WyzeCam Pan but nothing major.
Hi, great video. Do you need to me close to the router to set up the camera?
Could I go wrong if I buy this or the Bluerams 2K pan & tilt? Also, does all the features you presented in this video work for no subscription?
I’ll probably go with the eufy…no subscription and better app than the blurams.
@@LifeHackster thx
Great review👍. Quick question, does it work when I’m not home? Or do I have to be connected to the same WiFi at home? I have once but every time I’m not home it gets disconnected
Yes..you will be able to access it wherever you have access to the internet on your phone..even if you are on the other side of the globe.
Good video. Question. Will this work outside of your network. And could you do a video of that network setup.
Preliminary tests show that it works without the WIFI connection just as it does when connected, except of course for the notifications. Once you retain the connection to the camera you can access the stored files, which is good.
Hey, for this product, will a person who is not at home be able to see what’s going on at home if they are at work?
Yes.
Great review, would also be good to see how it works with HomeKit though.
Great review! Thanks!
Getting mine tomorrow 😊
If you have 4 cameras set up per se are you able to see them all in one screen? One on each side of the corners of your phone? Top left top right bottom left bottom right? Watch all 4 simultaneously? Very curious about this feature 😊 thanks

Great review! I’m thinking about dumping Arlo and Wyze and going all in Eufy. Thoughts?
That's where I'm at right now. I currently have Arlo outdoor cameras but I'm waiting for Wyze's outdoor camera to be released before I decide which direction I'm going in.
I still don’t trust the eufy battery cams or any battery powered cams 100% .Their floodlight is pretty good though because it is wired..
Ok thanks! Just seems like the interface for Eufy is so much nicer than Arlo. Can you set a timer with the Eufy Cams to disarm for a certain time then re-arm?

Are there screw holes at the bottom (mounting plate)? where you attach the the mounting plate first on the surface (let say ceiling) then you screw the base to the mounting plate.
Yes.
What does it plug in to? Is it wireless? How do you charge it? Does it have to be plugged in at all times?
This needs to be plug in for power but uses WiFi for its data connection.
