This guy is the BEST electronic reviewer EVER. He places markers for distance and does a very thorough job, this is AWESOME. This should be an example of how ALL reviews are done. BAR SET! Oh yeah camera is good too ;)
Thanks for the great review. Very in dept and well tested. When it comes to looking for an honest, thoroughly tested review, you've nailed it. Keep up the good work it's much appreciated.
WOW you've put a lot of work into this video!! This is the best review video I've found! Thank you for all the hard work and for thinking of all the questions before we buy!! Good job.
This is the best review for this product, i am sold. thanks for all your hard work and for taking the time to do all these tests for the camera and different settings!
I don't even remember the last time I commented on a TH-cam video but this video was very well made. Very informative. And broke down all the features and ins and outs of the product from the begging to the end. This was great! Looking forward to seeing more content. 🙂
Thanks for lot's of great videos with tons of info. I bought the Eufy 2C and could not be happier. Install was pain free. NOTE: Spotlight works as it's supposed to - there is a setting to turn it on.
Hey there glad to hear it’s working now cause I’d think it’s pretty pointless with out it lol. In your folks opinion is the spotlight good enough to not supplement it with another sep motion light?
Excellent review. I've been researching what model to get and had decided on Arlo. After watching your reviews I changed my mind and picked the Eufy 2C with an additional camera. It's fantastic, it was super quick and easy to set up and works a charm, very impressed. Over time I'll be interested to see how long the battery life will be. Thanks again, best regards from New Zealand.
@@1885173 I really like the system but have to admit I've had loads of issues with it. At times it doesn't activate, an example was when a courier dropped a parcel off and it didn't even capture any footage despite only being positioned about 2 meters from the door. Just seems very temperamental at times, very very frustrating, I have been in constant contact with the "help line", they normally say the same thing everytime to reboot the home base, log out and back in or even re sync the camera's. I haven't heard from them in ages as they closed for Chinese New Year. At the moment, it's working well, I guess it's a work in progress.
@@xdeadyoungx I have the Eufycam 2c 4-cam kit w solar panels. There is significant lag to start recording at low light (IR), and various other issues been stated on Amazon reviews. Sometimes if one camera is recording, the other is not, or if I am in live view on a specific camera, it will NOT record. I would have liked the camera had a flash feature, instead of a light, and possibly picture at certain intervals. IMO, certain security parameters should be customizable, for example, high motion sensitivity at night all motion, and human at day only etc. The camera cannot be set in a 45 degree angle, the base limits it to a front mount style. Also, I would like it had a feature to show continuous blinking to show system is active, to warn away potential intruders. *The motion tests on his videos are vague and generic, most if not all tests done at daylight. Eufy is spotty in capturing images at night. I would say sensitivy cuts down about 30%.
I just received mine in the mail yesterday. I’ll be setting it up today can’t wait to see how it compares to my ring spotlight cam battery. Great review as always 👍🏼.
Another great informative video! I sure hope Eufy is taking notes to correct the issues, your videos benefits both the consumer and the interest of the manufacturer to get it right.
I've had my camera's for 12 months now..have trouble with charging.. it's taking forever to charge..over a week..and it's only 81% .. another week it should be fully charged..!! I'm over it..
Thanks for your review. I just bought these cameras last week and they are performing really well. The night vision is much better than my old Piper cameras (1 of which died recently and will not power up any more).
@@tavonlawrence2197 I leave the spotlight off but it does inhance the video when it turns on. I leave it off because if someone walks by and the camera detects motion the light turns on, like it should but then they know they are being recorded,and they also know the location of the camera. They could damage the camera or rip it down. I have had several of these cams installed for 2 years now. They all work great.
Thanks for the review, not sure if you mentioned this but the Eufy 2C only works on 2.4Ghz wifi and not 5Ghz. Many routers support both but some people may not be broadcasting on 2.4Ghz or you don't even know the password for it. It took me a minute to remember the name of mine, but I can say the performance has been great. Also Eufy has fixed the spotlight issue, use the app to update your base and cameras. So far I'm very pleased with this camera system. Like many people, I had an Arlo system but now I think Eufy has a better deal.
Another great review as always from LIFEHACKSTER! Ok so since you have both the CAM E and the 2C and have reviewed them which would you prefer and recommend? I'm ready to purchase some Eufy Cams but since this one came out I can't decide now between them both lol. Thanks my dude!
Santino Garcia I’m on the same boat but based off what I am seeing I think I’m going to go with the E. The C was a contender with the improved IP rating and price but doesn’t provide enough as the E with battery/features.
Another candidate is the newly released eufy cam 2. I am expecting a review from Lifehackster:) but I think I will buy them first since the Black Friday is approaching.
Dude, your reviews are excellent. Thank you for taking the time to do such in depth analysis, and also being consistent with each camera system. However if it was your choice would you buy the Cam E or the Cam C2? Watching your reviews I have decided to give Arlo a miss and go for the Eufy but I am now undecided which one to go for. I hope they add single cameras to the C2 as I need 6 cameras in total. I am in the UK and the UK site seems to be a long way behind the US site. Again Thanks
Thank for the reply fella. However if it’s just the light issue as to why you would choose the Cam E I’m a little baffled as the Cam E doesn’t have a light? However the 2C has better features and a usb upgrade stick for memory is about to be released. So I decided in the end to get the 2C before I saw your reply. Oh well time will tell as it’s not in the UK until weds next week to which I shall do a review for us UK guys
I have spoken to Anker today and the CS assistant said she did not know there was a problem with the light coming on with detection. My unit does not arrive until Weds so can you check one thing for me. She said in the settings there is a switch to turn on and off the light when 'recording'. Has she got an upgrade firmware or does your system have that slifer as well?
These cameras are awesome!!! Battery life is great and effectiveness is off the charts..... I love how it snaps a pic of the face while recording. If you need more than this as far as home security video maybe your life is just dangerous lol..
Thanks for doing this review. It helps me narrow down which security camera I want to get. After hearing somethings last night I was really freaked out. Laying bed not sure if I should go out side to check it out or call the police. But soon I can have a 360 view of my place, a peace at of mind.
On Amazon, a representative from EufyHome answered a customer's question by saying, "Currently, the spotlight will not be triggered by motion." However, another customer contacted Eufy Customer Support and claims, "They told me that it IS triggered by motion and the light should stay on as long as it is recording." All other things being equal, LifeHackster, would you recommend that people by the Eufy Cam 2C over the E, and if so or if not, why? Please note that the 2-camera model 2C is now selling for $250 on Amazon, the same price as the E! Thanks for another great review.
@@xaviera8761 I think a lot of us would like to know. It's a great review, but for some reason he is dodging this answer, perhaps so as not to spoil the comparison video in a few weeks? However, that does not help us black friday shoppers. I think I am going with the 2C, it is slightly cheaper, newer base station that all the cameras are moving toward. And they have a discount code currently active.
Rob Couch I ended up finding the Eufy cam on home depot for $269. With two cameras and two door sensors. Then I went to Walmart and had them price match it.
Xavier A I saw HD had the Eufy Cam for $269, was it the Cam or newer Cam 2? The piece of paper at HD I saw said Cam 2 but the picture had the older base station. I ordered the 2C last night using a $50 off code I had from a Eufy email plus the $20 Amazon coupon so I got the 2C kit for $180 which I though was pretty good. Still not sure which camera system is best between E/2C/Cam but for $90/camera the price was right.
They're smaller than they look in the pictures. This is a good thing, as I don't want to install cameras that are too obvious since I want to put some of them inside the house and I wouldn't want any possible trespasser to notice them right away. If Eufy isn't paying you anything they should, because you have convinced me to buy their products.
I have had the 2c for a few months and it has held up in single digit temps outdoors. Mind you I have the black silicone sleeve on it but it is mounted outside right on the house. No other housing. Signal is great and have gotten speedy response in 4 degree farenheight snowy nights. Highly recommend this lil jem.
EXCELLENT review!👍 Systematic, comprehensive, succinct. Answered all my questions. Logical, intelligent presentation. Well done and many thanks for posting.😊👍👍
Mom and dad are in the market for a new security cam system and I’m happy to say based on your excellent, informative videos I’m going to give the eufy system a shot for them! Thanks for all the info!!
Fantastic review...!!! You have covered most of the relevant features of the camera. Very thorough.... Really appreciate your effort and the great review...👍👌👏👏👏
@matthew bradley We are happy with it as of now. We demand all visitors to look into the doorbell cam as it generates a funny looking face when you come close. Having too much fun with it 😂
Excellent review. Clearly spoken. Well done. Yes I hope they have fixed the spotlight issue. I’m picking up the 4c next week and install them on my home
Just noticed that even though I have spotlight selected to turn in with motion, it just turns on and stays on ?? Any idea why. They only way to change it back is to set to B&w night vision via IR, but then spotlight won’t turn on with motion, it’s either on permanently or off completely and always
Superb review!. I've just bought a Eufy 2c set up with 2 cameras and hoping they'll be a good system for me. I'm also hoping Eufy have updated their software to have the spotlight turn on with motion detection, otherwise it defeats the object of me buying it as I want the led floodlight to act as a coming home light too.
Well now, this is a coincidental treat. I've been researching every different camera type to get ready for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and this was one camera I wasn't sure about after narrowing down everything on the market to Reolink Argus 2 and Eufy but wasn't sure whether to go for the E or 2C. Thank you Mr. LifeHackster!
5 days into my EUFY 2C ! Garage/alley : alley's city lights at night prevent the need for IR LEDS (good for hidden camera bc no camera lights activate). If cars drive by fast, they aren't always captured, and I can never see inside CAR WINDOWS, blury. SOUND captured is loud but not clear enough to make out all words. Love that we can speak through the microphone to scare illwilled people off, and that we can turn the spotlight on at will (still able to set to motion activate, but would be constant as it is sensitive).
@lifehackster, do you know the Eufycam homebase 2 has a major flaw in that it must have an active Internet connection otherwise it will not record footage. Its worth you testing this as it's quite significant security flaw for a local storage device. I have the homebase 2 with the 2 and 2c cameras, if the incoming (provider) signal is lost to the home router, the Eufycam status indicator changes to red and it stops recording any movement footage from the cameras. I'd be interested if you tried it with yours and posted your results. Thanks. PS. Your Reviews are fantastic, keep up the good work 👍
Wondering why there was no reply to your question, this is a MAJOR problem for a security camera. I was just about to get the system, now it came to a screeching halt.
Thanks for the great reviews! I am trying to decide between the Cam 2 or the Cam 2c. In your opinion is the Cam 2 worth the extra money? These will be installed at a vacation home. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Been eyeing up the Cam e for a while, but just purchased the 2C after watching your review. Love your content. Thorough testing and informative as always
Great video, thanks! With the Eufy camera (2C?) - Can you'd an extra camera so you have 5? Also can you voice operate through watch or iPhone? Thanks again. Love the channel.
Hi... Great reveiws... Top notch.. Can I ask you what is the best WiFi cam for night vision..? Likin the Eufy but you said some where better... Keep up the good work. 👍
I'm looking for a wireless camera that can constant non-stop recording and loop recording. Which camera will you recommend with good resolution quality? Thank you.
I love your stuff man! I wish I found your videos before I bought an Arlo that I no longer use. Had major battery drain issues. I’m going to try this one and see how it goes.
EXCELLENT review, thank you! Just received the Eufy 2C and used your video to set up! SUCH a WELL-DONE video! By the way, do you know if Eufy worked out the bug on the spotlight activation at night with motion? Thanks again!
Great review, disappointing that the spotlight didn't come one, that's the whole point of it. Have you or are you going to try and connect a solar panel to any of your Eufy cams to see how that performs? May have to put some sealant around the connects to make it water tight, but would be interesting solution if it worked out.
Great review ... thanks. Please address the question of having the app installed on multiple phones (works or not?) AND can the camera be charged with a small solar panel located nearby? ... subscribed and liked!
I'm new subscriber! I love your videos!!! I need a outdoor wireless cam, I saw some videos and I need help deciding which is the best. What do you recommend me? Please reply ! Thanks
Hi lifehacker.. Great videos.. I just can't decide between eufy 2c and blink xt2... I am going to use one in back yard and other in front driveway/yard..
I installed an Emulator to run Eufy on my desktop Computer, gives greater detail & easier to follow instructions for setups & reference to Eufy. If anyone is having problems with Wi-Fi on a new installation: it took about 3weeks in operation before the base station2 was able to identify the Wi-Fi connection, then was OK.
What great reviews! I will definately recommend your videos. I am just now trying to decide between the the wired outdoor solo pro for $99 or for only $40 more go for the discounted 2c 1 cam kit at $139 that I could add the 2c pro 2k cameras too if I want more cameras. What would be your choice if you were the one buying for the first time?
Great view again! Did the Eufy Floodlight also get an update on motion detection to fix it's issues? Wanting to get one but not going to if it's still not working properly
Thanks for the in depth and informative review! Any feedback on real world battery life? I know it varies depending on settings and usage, but a general idea of battery life would be great. I have a friend who has an Arlo system that also advertises 6 month battery life, but they have to charge it every 8-10 days.
This video was good enough for me to subscribed and like 👍, I currently have 4 Arlo pro 3 I need 2 additional cameras for the backyard. Question How really last the batteries? Are the cameras still working as new ? Or would you recommend other brand models 0n 180 dollars 220 dollars price range ( for 2 cameras ? Thank you so much
Its more cheaper comparing with the arlo and similar features, like you said if fix the problem of the spot light its a great option to buy the system for security your home wireless 👍 They have your own solar panel for this cameras?
@@LifeHackster any luck with the solar panels? I saw you still used them a few weeks ago, but was curious if you got them to work. Also, curious if you still use the Eufy floodlight camera? Thanks and subbed!
Great reviews as always. I’m waiting for more vendors to support HomeKit Secure Video before making any more security camera purchases. Wondering if you will be testing that service based on iCloud and Circle2 cameras which are the only cameras currently supporting HomeKit Secure Video. I am really turned off by Eufy´s decision to use non-upgradable or replaceable batteries or memory cards on their latest models. Really killing it for me!
@@LifeHackster for the eufy 2c will the spotlight automatically come when motion is detected? Also,if you have the Eufy e cam, can you connect it to the new Eufy 2c base station?
good review, the best i seen of surveillance cameras , even doing performance tests over LTE/5G networks where is real life happening, if one use those systems of surveillance is when are away of home so need that work flawless with any network om your cell.
Hi, I was wondering if this would work without Ethernet cable? My house has the router installed on the ceiling so can’t connect the Ethernet cable to the base.
Great video as always! I know you said that comparisons are coming soon, but what are your thoughts on this vs the more expensive Arlo pro 3 and nest cam iq? Thanks
@@LifeHackster did you ever get the eufy floodlight to work properly? You said that the issue with the 2c was fixed w/ a software update, is the same the case with the floodlight?
That is the main reason I’m leaning towards eufy. But my only concern is that eufy doesn’t have 2FA which ring does. Also Have you tried eufy home alarm system ? Haven’t seen any videos anywhere of the home alarm. Thanks

Thank you and yes, Eufy has fixed the spotlight issue and it is now working good.
Thanks to your amazing review I just ordered mine 🤓 Many thanks and keep up the good work 👍
Thanks - I've been waiting for this review. Keep up your great work 👍.
Thank you.
Easily the best reviewer. Keep up the great work sir !
FWIW, if you go in the camera settings, under "night vision" you can enable the spot light to turn on when motion is detected.
Yes, Eufy has has now updated this camera because of this review. :)
@@LifeHackster you should update that info at the end of your video, be good to inform people it's been fixed
This is seriously so in depth are perfect thank you very much! You helped a ton and it's all done clearly and simply. I appreciate what you're doing
Just got this camera there's an option for the spot light to turn on when motion is detected, it's under night vision.
Just noticed that even though I have spotlight selected to turn in with motion, it just turns on and stays on ?? Any idea why. They only way to change it back is to set to B&w night vision via IR, but then spotlight won’t turn on with motion, it’s either on permanently or off completely and always
Just bought the 3 pack kit. This video will be very helpful when it arrives. Thank you and great video.
Superb review!. I've just bought a Eufy 2c set up with 2 cameras and hoping they'll be a good system for me. I'm also hoping Eufy have updated their software to have the spotlight turn on with motion detection, otherwise it defeats the object of me buying it as I want the led floodlight to act as a coming home light too.
How are you liking the cameras?
Well now, this is a coincidental treat. I've been researching every different camera type to get ready for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and this was one camera I wasn't sure about after narrowing down everything on the market to Reolink Argus 2 and Eufy but wasn't sure whether to go for the E or 2C. Thank you Mr. LifeHackster!
The Argus 2 has limited motion detection distance..my testing only around 15 ft..so Eufy is a better choice.
5 days into my EUFY 2C ! Garage/alley : alley's city lights at night prevent the need for IR LEDS (good for hidden camera bc no camera lights activate).
If cars drive by fast, they aren't always captured, and I can never see inside CAR WINDOWS, blury.
SOUND captured is loud but not clear enough to make out all words.
Love that we can speak through the microphone to scare illwilled people off, and that we can turn the spotlight on at will (still able to set to motion activate, but would be constant as it is sensitive).
Hands down best video tbh bruh i got all the info i needed about this product thanks.
✌🏻
Keeping it 💯 as always. These camers come out left and right. So many.
Thank you.
Great video. I just purchased mines today. You told me all I needed to know.
@lifehackster, do you know the Eufycam homebase 2 has a major flaw in that it must have an active Internet connection otherwise it will not record footage. Its worth you testing this as it's quite significant security flaw for a local storage device. I have the homebase 2 with the 2 and 2c cameras, if the incoming (provider) signal is lost to the home router, the Eufycam status indicator changes to red and it stops recording any movement footage from the cameras. I'd be interested if you tried it with yours and posted your results. Thanks.
PS. Your Reviews are fantastic, keep up the good work 👍
Wondering why there was no reply to your question, this is a MAJOR problem for a security camera. I was just about to get the system, now it came to a screeching halt.
Thanks for the great reviews! I am trying to decide between the Cam 2 or the Cam 2c. In your opinion is the Cam 2 worth the extra money? These will be installed at a vacation home. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Great video! Any plans on a review for Eufy Cam 2? Would love to have that to finalize my decision on which eufy I'll be getting.
Thanks in advance
I’ll see..but the main difference between the Eufy 2 and the Eufy E is the AI and this 2C has it..which is just ok..
@@LifeHackster Eufy 2 also has a better Sony sensor.
Thanks for a great, in- depth review. I love my Arlo's but if they don't come down on the pricing soon, I might be tempted to give these a try.
Arlo is a total rip off especially the ultra IMO. Can get it’s full features unless you pay a subscription
Been eyeing up the Cam e for a while, but just purchased the 2C after watching your review. Love your content. Thorough testing and informative as always
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Excellent review. Just bought 2 and subscribed. Good work!
Great video, thanks! With the Eufy camera (2C?) - Can you'd an extra camera so you have 5? Also can you voice operate through watch or iPhone? Thanks again. Love the channel.
Hi... Great reveiws... Top notch..
Can I ask you what is the best WiFi cam for night vision..? Likin the Eufy but you said some where better... Keep up the good work. 👍
i've been watched few reviewer. this guy tells more detail than others
I'm looking for a wireless camera that can constant non-stop recording and loop recording. Which camera will you recommend with good resolution quality? Thank you.
I also would like to know. Did you find any?
I love your stuff man! I wish I found your videos before I bought an Arlo that I no longer use. Had major battery drain issues. I’m going to try this one and see how it goes.
how it goes?
EXCELLENT review, thank you! Just received the Eufy 2C and used your video to set up! SUCH a WELL-DONE video! By the way, do you know if Eufy worked out the bug on the spotlight activation at night with motion? Thanks again!
Has the spotlight been fixed yet?
Thanks for great review from a fellow flip man. Just subscribed. Wanted to ask your personal preference on all the cams you reviewed.
Love the review I got the same system I'm from Australia great video mate have a great day :)
Thank you.
Your welcome thanks for replying back.
Hey I realise I'm lets say a little late on comments but your review has been amazing and very helpful so thank you. I'll sub right now.
great review man, subscribed!
Great work with this comprehensive review. Appreciated!!!!
Great review, disappointing that the spotlight didn't come one, that's the whole point of it.
Have you or are you going to try and connect a solar panel to any of your Eufy cams to see how that performs? May have to put some sealant around the connects to make it water tight, but would be interesting solution if it worked out.
I will be testing it out and hook up an aftermarket solar panel..
Great review ... thanks. Please address the question of having the app installed on multiple phones (works or not?) AND can the camera be charged with a small solar panel located nearby? ... subscribed and liked!
It works - family share option.. as to solar panel, I’ll be testing it..
I love how you testing it.thank you for sharing.
Love your videos & great info. Would you spend the extra $100 in getting the Eufy 2C pro for the 2k or nah?
Probably not...I have a video on the 2Pro..and there is not a lot of difference.
@@LifeHackster Thank you!
Good review. I have question: so the homebase has to be in range with the camera?
I'm new subscriber! I love your videos!!! I need a outdoor wireless cam, I saw some videos and I need help deciding which is the best. What do you recommend me? Please reply ! Thanks
Man you are awesome, you answered all my questions!!
Hi lifehacker.. Great videos.. I just can't decide between eufy 2c and blink xt2... I am going to use one in back yard and other in front driveway/yard..
Just purchased this product and love the review. Have they fixed the PIR spotlight motion issue you found during your testing?
Yes, they did.
Good review, thanks. Have you had any issues with the range between cameras and base station?
I have shown it on my other videos but i had no issues even when the cameras are 70 feet and through 1-2 walls.
Thank You for another very nice review, Cheers
You are welcome.
Great review, thanks a lot! Do you know if the spotlight turns on with motion detection yet?
Great job. You made setting up my camera stress free. It would be nice to know how to save video from the home base besides in my photo app.
At this time, it can only be downloaded from the app. The footage in the micro SD card is encrypted.
Love your testing methodology. Great job!
I installed an Emulator to run Eufy on my desktop Computer, gives greater detail & easier to follow instructions for setups & reference to Eufy. If anyone is having problems with Wi-Fi on a new installation: it took about 3weeks in operation before the base station2 was able to identify the Wi-Fi connection, then was OK.
What great reviews! I will definately recommend your videos. I am just now trying to decide between the the wired outdoor solo pro for $99 or for only $40 more go for the discounted 2c 1 cam kit at $139 that I could add the 2c pro 2k cameras too if I want more cameras. What would be your choice if you were the one buying for the first time?
Great view again! Did the Eufy Floodlight also get an update on motion detection to fix it's issues? Wanting to get one but not going to if it's still not working properly
I’m not sure..I told eufy to contact me if there release an update so that I can compare it with the Ring..they haven’t replied back.
@@LifeHackster thanks for the reply! Keep up the good work :) looking forward to ur next video
Thanks for the in depth and informative review! Any feedback on real world battery life? I know it varies depending on settings and usage, but a general idea of battery life would be great. I have a friend who has an Arlo system that also advertises 6 month battery life, but they have to charge it every 8-10 days.
This video was good enough for me to subscribed and like 👍, I currently have 4 Arlo pro 3 I need 2 additional cameras for the backyard. Question How really last the batteries? Are the cameras still working as new ? Or would you recommend other brand models 0n 180 dollars 220 dollars price range ( for 2 cameras ? Thank you so much
Its more cheaper comparing with the arlo and similar features, like you said if fix the problem of the spot light its a great option to buy the system for security your home wireless 👍 They have your own solar panel for this cameras?
I’ll be testing aftermarket solar panels on these cameras and see if they work.
LifeHackster I look forward to the generic solar panel testing. Wire free and solar powered is something I am interested in.
Any luck with after market solar panels working on the Eufy 2c?
@@LifeHackster any luck with the solar panels? I saw you still used them a few weeks ago, but was curious if you got them to work.
Also, curious if you still use the Eufy floodlight camera? Thanks and subbed!
Great reviews as always. I’m waiting for more vendors to support HomeKit Secure Video before making any more security camera purchases. Wondering if you will be testing that service based on iCloud and Circle2 cameras which are the only cameras currently supporting HomeKit Secure Video. I am really turned off by Eufy´s decision to use non-upgradable or replaceable batteries or memory cards on their latest models. Really killing it for me!
I’ll check it out. Thanks.
We love your videos! You have reviewed a lot of systems, in your opinion what is the best outdoor wireless security camera system?
Eufy cam E or this 2C.
@@LifeHackster thank you!!
@@LifeHackster for the eufy 2c will the spotlight automatically come when motion is detected? Also,if you have the Eufy e cam, can you connect it to the new Eufy 2c base station?
good review, the best i seen of surveillance cameras , even doing performance tests over LTE/5G networks where is real life happening, if one use those systems of surveillance is when are away of home so need that work flawless with any network om your cell.
interesting, thank you for the good advice and a great footage that you filmed!
Great review! Would u recomend this camera system over the Arlo pro 2?
Best Review i have seen about eufy. Like!
Hi, I was wondering if this would work without Ethernet cable? My house has the router installed on the ceiling so can’t connect the Ethernet cable to the base.
Great video as always! I know you said that comparisons are coming soon, but what are your thoughts on this vs the more expensive Arlo pro 3 and nest cam iq? Thanks
I’ll go with the Eufy..
@@LifeHackster did you ever get the eufy floodlight to work properly? You said that the issue with the 2c was fixed w/ a software update, is the same the case with the floodlight?
Fantastic piece of work Life Hackster. Thank you, very informative. Wouldn't mind if you added a comment in relation to the battery life of this unit.
Keep up good work, currently deciding between eufy 2c or ring spotlight any advice?
With eufy, you don’t have to pay any monthly subscription...
That is the main reason I’m leaning towards eufy. But my only concern is that eufy doesn’t have 2FA which ring does. Also Have you tried eufy home alarm system ? Haven’t seen any videos anywhere of the home alarm. Thanks
Great video! Just bought one and this has helped... thanks
THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE MAN, GOOD JOB,YOU ARE A GREAT TH-camR, KEEP PRACTICING, YOU WILL BE RICH BRO. LOVE FROM MADAGASCAR
yes i'm daccored with you bro
Thank you my man !!!
@@ainafano4492 yeah sure gurl
Did you fix the light on the camera so it comes on at night by itself with the motion sensor?
