I compared the C210 to the Eufy2, side by side, and the image quality looks identical, except the C210 has an obvious "sharpen" effect applied to the image. Eufy really take liberties with what they call 2k and 4k. Sure, technically the image resolution will show as 2k in your favorite video player, but the sensor is obviously lacking.
Those cameras do not charge when the temperature falls under 0C (32F) so avoid in cold climate (unless you don't plan using it in winter months). Also, battery does not last 3 months but rather around 3-4 weeks, even less in cold weather.
I watched a lot of your videos mate on Eufy cams. You make these with the most details and cover most features very very well. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
Thank you for the Video. Does the camera needs to have WiFi connection all the time or has to be connected to the Box or is it possible that it can record motion detection on its own?
Great Video What about placing the camera in a location that doesnt have a wi-fi signal, would it work in standalone mode and record to its internal storage?
I just purchased 3 diffrent products that im so excited about thanks to your reviews and i just wanted to ask is the floodlight cam s330 and dual camera Wired doorbell truly good ? Did i make a good purchase ? Lol . I purchawed the flood light for 220 and doorbell for 130 after taxes off their website
The wind sound on the speaker and the distorted sound is what I get from my brand new ring, spotlight plus. And I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing wrong or if it’s a defect in the unit?
Question. So I’d have to lower camera from its mount to charge? I’m late to this video and may want to purchase this. So I’d have no camera in that direction till it’s done charging? I seen there’s solar option but for that specific location I don’t want to mount a solar there
I have C210 for a month now. I placed it on the top of my garage door, and it definitely missed a couple of events. For example, it failed to detect multiple amazon delivery people (which my ring doorbell was able to pick up). This is my first eufy device so I don't know if this is just C210 or its eufy.
@LifeHackster I realized even I placed the activity zone all over the camera's field of view. For some reason, my c210 still wouldn't detect people walking on the edge of the camera. That's probably why the camera missed amazon delivery people all the time (for some reason these amazon people love to walk on my lawn instead of drive way 🙄)
@@goodjob7758 It's not all Eufy cams but this one is pretty bad (or good) at missing people. You may get better results if you connect it to homebase 3 as it uses a different AI algorithm. Even setup for optimum surveillance with a wide motion detection area it still misses people. Pretty bad at night too.
Hi mate, can you show me how to make notification on iphone 13 pro max, doesn't matter what I make, still have no notification on the iphone, thank you...
I’m assuming you are saying S220 instead of C220…and this will really depend on where you are installing the camera. If you have some sunshine, then go with the S220, the 30 dollar difference is worth it for the multiple times that you are going to remove and recharge the C210..but if you plan to install the camera under your eaves, or there is not a lot of sunshine, then the C210 is a better choice.
Such a great review, thanks for taking the time. How and when does it connect to your home wifi? Is it just when there is an event, is it always connected, or when you connect to the Eufy app on your phone? Does it continuously record, or only when you set up events or security modes? Thanks
Oh yeah, these are great until you pass the 1 year warranty date! We got all of ours in 2021. Worked great for 9 months. Then slowly started having issues. Fast forward to today, NONE of them work! Eufy doesn't give a shit either. Money literally flushed down the toilet. Mosr these 'reviews" get free product to show. Like salesmen for whichever product they're reviewing. Unless they state that they have NOT received the product for free, it's a biased sales pitch.
Does this model come with power over internet? If not, do I need to get wifi repeater if I want to install this at a place where mi wifi doesn’t reach?
@@skaterdude14bdon’t need continuous recording if it’s gonna record whatever motion happens in front of it. Unnecessary to record nothing happening for hours a day.
I'm looking for constant power supply and thinking to use usb-c extension. Has anyone done this before or eufyCam Solar Panel Charger is the only viable solution? Thanks for great video!
You can plug it in but my recommendation with Eufy cameras is that if you are able to wire it in, go with their wired/plugged in cameras like their outdoor cam E220/E210 instead of battery powered.
Please can you direct me to a program with which I can improve the quality of the video from low quality to high quality (for example, the video from the surveillance camera does not show the face of the person. Is there a program that enhances the quality of the video and shows us the person's face?) Thanks.
Thanks a lot for your videos about the camera systems. I have a question. Do the eufy System with HomeBase3 and some Cameras connected to it work also wothout internet and locally? I mean when the internet connection has problems , will it continue to recording and also can we use the App locally in the same wifi network? Or everything is Internet-Based?
Can these link together or can multiple be used in the app without a home-base And can it also have facial recognition so that it wont record if it recognizes me
@lifeHackster Thanks for a great video. What happens when 8gb fillsup does it automatically delete older recordings? Does it have 1-2 days rolling free cloud?
I have a C210 for 2 months now and after owning the amazing E40 and S40, I can honestly say I don't trust it. My E40 somehow got water in it and my S40 just randomly quit working so I got the C210 because it was much cheaper and love how compact it is. I put it in the same position I had my E40 and S40 and for some reason the C210 doesn't pick up human motion as good as the others even if I have the sensitivity maxed out. It misses so many events. Also the other issue I've been having is it seems to be stuck in human mode. When I switch to all motion in the app, it just jumps back to human mode. I have to press all motion then go out to home screen and back several times before the all motion mode stays on which is so strange. Then here's the other strange thing, once it's in all motion mode, it just detects motion allll day for no reason making the notifications super annoying and inaccurate even if I lower the sensitivity to 1 or 2. Never had any of these issues with my other Eufy cams some still going strong for 3 years so this is disappointing. I'm hoping maybe I have a defective unit.
So far I haven't found a fix sadly. I'm strongly considering replacing it with an old faithful Reolink Argus 3 pro. I've had 2 eufy E40s and an S40 just randomly failed on me after less than 2 months. One somehow got a tiny bit of water in it and the S40 I took it down switched it off to charge then after it was fully charged it just didn't turn on anymore. So sadly I think I'm gonna stick to Reolink and not risk anymore random eufy failures. @@EndlessChicken
It’s amazing you get yours to last 3 years… I’ve got two units of S40, both developed condensation inside the lens, making videos blurry. Both also less than 2 years constantly exposed under the elements. I’ve got another E40 under my porch away from the elements and still rocking fine. I guess Eufy cams cannot last when exposed to harsh environments…
I ended up getting all my eufy cameras as these cuz I had seen some of the other more expensive eufy cameras solar panel delaminating or fading white and also I just don't think those solar panels are going to charge those cameras, I just think they're too small, so I rather get a much larger sized one so that way I don't really ever have to touch the camera ever again. Or you also could get a 3M MagSafe magnet and put it under the camera and then get a power bank and waterproof it or not and then you can put a 3M MagSafe magnet on the power bank and stick it to the camera and then you can charge the camera without having to take it down to charge.
Hi! I'm looking at the Eufy Security Indoor Cam C120, Plug-in Security Camera 3 MP - 2K with Wi-Fi on Amazon. I am renting an apartment so I can't drill. I have to place the camera on the outside of my metal door (also has a screen door) to catch whoever is stealing my packages. I was thinking of placing on our windows but the roof is blocking our view. I don't know if there is a magnetic mount that is compatible with that camera (without drilling)... or place on screen door that has glass as well (another mount that doesn't require drilling). I don't know if I'm wording this correctly since I am not familiar with security cameras. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
If I purchase this camera on its own, does the footage get saved online? If it gets saved just on the camera itself it concerns me as the footage can then be stolen
No. it will be saved on its internal storage. I'm not sure if Eufy is offering cloud recording for this model. Another option is to add it to their homebase 3 which stays inside your house.
@@LifeHackster thanks for the reply, so if an incident happens, I have to get the ladders and manually get the memory card from the camera and plug it into pc to view footage? So really we need the homebase for the cameras to be practical so we can view the footage I'm guessing?
Lawn’s lookin good & crisp in 2K 😏 Thanks for another in depth review. To make my 2 Pro bracket work under my eaves, I made a wedge from some wood, & angled it on the end so the bracket was able to be tilted upwards. Eufy really need to redesign their otherwise excellent brackets.
That's a good idea. Even with this one, they should have added a notch so that it can have more range and should have worked too for horizontal install.
Thank you for this video, just came across your channel and lots of helpful info I'm new to outdoor security cameras, just wondering how to set them up and if you have any starter guides for this. Confused about 12v powering, PoE powering etc 😢
Battery powered ones like this one is the easiest to setup and install... Wired ones are the most reliable setups though...I don't have a specific setup video but check out my Reolink NVR videos and you will get some ideas.
@@LifeHackster thank you mate appreciate it, have decided to start slow and just bought the new IMOU Bulb camera - will put it in my carport up high and then look into the NVR ONVIF setup...see how I go
I’m looking at Eufy as a potential buy for my new house and want all wireless cams but don’t know which Eufy cams to get I need 6 total for all around the house. Solar or battery is great, I see Eufy has built in solar panels on some cams but don’t know which ones to get. Also 2K quality looks great to me so I think I could get those
I have a Nest, and it's not even as close of being clear as yours. 😫 But the only thing is that I can view videos free up to 5 days, then it erases. But if anything, I can always screen record of there's something I need.
There is no easy way as far as I know... you have to resetup all your cameras and when you reset it, old recordings will not be accessible. I'm not sure if Eufy is working on something that will make the transfer easier.
Eufy is even worse! Literally streams unencrypted back to their servers then they lied about it and just changed their ToS rather than fixing the problem
U Also have Not given Any Detail on what type of Solar Power panel is Needed - Some People have bought the wrong one & found out it had Not enough Power from the solar !!!!!!
Depends on many factors such as the number of detections, the number of recordings and the temperature. These do not last 3 months like stated by Eufy. Maybe 3 weeks with not too many detections in a not too cold climate.
Eufy video out and if someone grabs them and pushes the sink button it erases all the previous and current videos that particular camera took, turns out they’re junk and Eufy says it works as designed when asked about it on the Eufy forum
Just to clarify...what will happen is that the camera will reset just like what I showed in the video when adding it to the homebase 3...technically, the footage is still there but will just not be accessible. Eufy knows this issue and supposedly they will fix it.
@@LifeHackster their response on the forum is after looking at it, it works as designed. So if someone grabs your camera and runs it’s gone and so is the footage. I believe they at this time have no intention in making changes.
I bought three of these and they are completely unreliable. Too many events missed. I also bought the 220 and have the same issue. I am returning them at the third day.

Nice additional camera if you are using Eufy already! Thanks for the info!
@adamfranklin6904...Thanks for watching!
With the massive price hike from Nest, which Ring will inevitably follow, this type of local storage system becomes more and more appealing.
I agree.
Just remember, there’s no such thing as a cloud…
All your videos are being stored on servers in some room somewhere with Ring.
Do these have the alarm/siren feature?
Will this work with the older homebase 1 or 2 ?
If I don't use the HomeBase am I limited just to the storage that is in the camera or does this do ONVIF or RTSP and I can use a 3rd party NVR?
Hello, Edge Connection is possible with the HomeBase 2 ? Thanks
Thank you for the Video. Does the camera needs to have WiFi connection all the time or has to be connected to the Box or is it possible that it can record motion detection on its own?
Great Video
What about placing the camera in a location that doesnt have a wi-fi signal, would it work in standalone mode and record to its internal storage?
Technically it will work but you will not be able to access it, get notifications, or view the recordings until it is connected to WIFI.
I just purchased 3 diffrent products that im so excited about thanks to your reviews and i just wanted to ask is the floodlight cam s330 and dual camera Wired doorbell truly good ? Did i make a good purchase ? Lol .
I purchawed the flood light for 220 and doorbell for 130 after taxes off their website
Look forward to the buyer's guide video. I like different power source options.
what do you think about the c120?
You should do a comparison between C210 and the E40. The specs seem nearly identical to me.
I believe, E40 doesn't support homebase 3 compare to C210
Is this camera compatible with HomeBase2. How long does one charge can last (without solar panel)?
hello, i bought a set of Eufy cameras, but how come I cannot access its recordings using the Homebase,? can you help me out? thank you
Hi, what happened when 8GB is full? is there any option to keep recording in loop the last 24h?
The wind sound on the speaker and the distorted sound is what I get from my brand new ring, spotlight plus. And I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing wrong or if it’s a defect in the unit?
If it is windy in where you install it... that is probably the reason.
Have you seen eufy 24/7 recording camera I'm wondering if you'll be able to put them on a screen and monitor them all at once
I'm not sure but I know that is their goal.

I will check it out whenever it comes in.
Really informative video. Just a question - do you need the home base in addition to a eufy camera?
With this model. No. It can be setup to directly connect to your WIFI.
can I use C 210 when traveling by using hotels WIFi , get notifications and view live action on my phone?
Most likely, No. Most hotels now have web based authentication (either needing to put in your room number and last name)…
Would u advice c210 or c220 if there is a 30 bucks difference? Per camera? Is the difference worth to invest ?

I have a Nest, and it's not even as close of being clear as yours. 😫 But the only thing is that I can view videos free up to 5 days, then it erases. But if anything, I can always screen record of there's something I need.
The Nest Cam Battery is actually pretty good for a 1080P camera.
Could you do a video on upgrading an existing Eufy home base 2 system to the home base 3?
There is no easy way as far as I know... you have to resetup all your cameras and when you reset it, old recordings will not be accessible. I'm not sure if Eufy is working on something that will make the transfer easier.
Thanks for the reply, I was afraid of that. Guess I’ll be pulling down all my cameras.
Is it working on home base 2?
No.
Do you have any reviews for Hikvision POE cameras by chance?
No Hikvision yet...
@@LifeHackster Do a hikvision POE vs the rest of POE?
Great job, thank you. God bless
Wyze just had a HUGE security breach. People could view others cameras as of about an hour ago or less.
Eufy is even worse! Literally streams unencrypted back to their servers then they lied about it and just changed their ToS rather than fixing the problem
do you review the LTS wired cameras?
Do you have to pay for the Eufy app download ?
No.
Nice one LH love your reviews 👍🏾
U Also have Not given Any Detail on what type of Solar Power panel is Needed - Some People have bought the wrong one & found out it had Not enough Power from the solar !!!!!!
Do you have a Homebase 3 video?
I don't have a separate video on it but I talked about it in my Eufy Cam 3 review video.
Does anyone know how long it will stay charged in optimal surveillance mode?
Depends on many factors such as the number of detections, the number of recordings and the temperature. These do not last 3 months like stated by Eufy. Maybe 3 weeks with not too many detections in a not too cold climate.
@@Frankdem99 I agree. Mine is ready to be charged after a week. I'm returning it! Thank you!
15FPS seems low, is this normal?
Normal for Eufy... they do need to bump it up...
so that solar camera has a wire in front of the camera, that must get annoying
Hey I saw eufy is using your videos for there ads on Facebook I hope your being compensated
Thanks for the heads up and yes, Eufy compensated me to use my videos for their ads.
I just want to see who is at my door before answering it. Do I have to wait 2 minutes to find out or can I see immediately?l
You can see the snapshot in the notification or when you click on it, it will go to the start of the motion event…so yes, you can see immediately.
@@LifeHackster That's good. It might suit me then. Thanks for that.
Eufy video out and if someone grabs them and pushes the sink button it erases all the previous and current videos that particular camera took, turns out they’re junk and Eufy says it works as designed when asked about it on the Eufy forum
Wait what? So this is useless. That "feature" makes no sense.
@@makatroncorrect and thankful I only bought one to try to replace my Blinks when I found out!
Just to clarify...what will happen is that the camera will reset just like what I showed in the video when adding it to the homebase 3...technically, the footage is still there but will just not be accessible. Eufy knows this issue and supposedly they will fix it.
@@LifeHackster so I got the thief on camera, just can't show it to the authorities 🤣
@@LifeHackster their response on the forum is after looking at it, it works as designed. So if someone grabs your camera and runs it’s gone and so is the footage. I believe they at this time have no intention in making changes.
I bought three of these and they are completely unreliable. Too many events missed. I also bought the 220 and have the same issue. I am returning them at the third day.
how easy it is to just yank it out and walk away with it?
If you can reach it..it is pretty easy. This applies to any other cameras as well.
