I was looking for an outdoor camera to keep an eye on my dogs in the yard when I'm not home. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe Tried a different one that was absolutely terrible, so I got these instead. They work perfectly! With 3 of these cameras I can see every corner of the yard, and they were very easy to set up. The best part is I only get the footage I want to see, not hours of videos of the bird feeder swaying in the breeze.
Thanks for a very informative video on the EufyCam 2 Pro. Can the camera be connected to a computer instead of a cell phone? If it can be connected to a computer, is WiFi sufficient or is a Ethernet cable required?
After spending 300 pounds for less than two years, the battery can't be charged. I think the battery is broken. Call customer service, said that after the warranty period, ignore me, in this use of two years is not very easy to use, a rainy season water fog ran into the camera, simply can not see clearly, so it is not recommended to buy.
Nice review! Is there any way to set up a schedule for the cameras - which also will save batterylife? I only want the cameras to be active during night (and not getting triggered when I'm outside during the days). I couldn't see anything about schedule in your review. It's kind of a dealbreaker for me. :) //Jimmy
Really concise, informative video. I was really impressed by the EufyCam 2 Pro in terms of the recording quality, speed and functionality of the app. I was also very impressed by the customer support provided when I had a query when setting-up the cameras. Unfortunately, even when set to maximum sensitivity the camera range is limited (25'-30'). This probably won't be a problem for most users who want to cover their porch, backyard or the parking space in front of their home. I needed to cover a larger space in front of my home and also an access lane to the property but the cameras just wouldn't detect movement over that distance. A great product and I would loved to have kept them but regrettably I had to return them.
Hello, congratulations for your great video. I just have one question, I am considering purchasing these cameras but I am looking for cameras that would be compatible with the blue iris software, a software that allows you to manage all your cameras together. Do you have any idea if that would be possible ? Blue Iris requires the ip address of the cam, and it's ID and password. Thanks a lot for your help.
I have the 1080p version, Cam 2. It will record in night vision (IR black & white) with no or a little light. If you have a bright spotlight or floodlight, then is will record in color at night. Color also during the day.
Thanks for the overview. With the adjustable detection area (that rectangular area), what distance away from camera can you place it to detect movement? I ask because one of the cameras I plan to install will be mounted to watch along the back wall of the house & the back door will be roughly 10m & the side gate will be 15m. Also, those of us with iPhones will be paying for the 2K functionality but unable to utilise it correct, since 1080p is the maximum supported resolution? But is this only within the HomeKit App? Will we still have 2K footage within the Eufy App?
So there’s a charging port … will this still function while plugged into a power source? I have abode and one camera in there lineup doesn’t function while it’s being plugged into a power source. And is this Apple HomeKit compatible? That’s something I didn’t see in your review
Hi, how do you add multiple devices to HoneBase 2 please. I had the battery doorbell 2k installed and when adding the Pro 2/2k the doorbell disappeared 😒 and all the saved history.SOS help 💙
Questions regarding the charging, no batteries required? Just charge the camera to the home base device? What about memory? Does this device save your videos automatically, and then delete the videos in 30 days automatically?
I have not run into this issue, I set the recording resolution to 2k in the settings from day 1 and it has stayed recording at 1440p. The compression when downloading the footage to the phone is also good.
Can family living with me access the cameras videos? They do use my wifi and know the wifi password. I want to be the only one with access to the cameras videos and recordings
No they won't be able too. You need to create an account and set a password for the app. They will need the username and password you set up to access it.
The cameras will no longer record because the homebase and your home internet will most likely be down so it won't be able to save your video to the homebase due to the power loss.
@@ghtechreview Thanks for the reply :) I ended up biting the bullet and buying 2 x EufyCam 2 Pro 2K cameras and the EufyCam 2K doorbell. A couple of cons already with the cameras. Movement needs to happen within 8m of the camera for it to start recording (not good for looking down a driveway toward a gate). The motion detection zone adjustment on the camera only allows for a box area to be selected (whereas with the doorbell you can actually 'draw' a custom shape to mark the detection zone). This being said, overall happy for a first set up. Easy to install being wireless.
I’m very disappointed after buying this because 1/ you cannot continuously steaming the video and 2/ it does not record 24/7 but only if there are motions Money wasted … very disappointed !
You can pick one up here: amzn.to/3FJOWza
I bought it and I love it! Thanks for the video!!

Setup was easy and quick. Video is clear. The big selling point to me was it works with Apple HomeKit. Will be buying more cameras in the future.

Awesome review! How many cameras can you connect to the home base? I would need at least 5 or 6 for my house
Excellent review! Thanks!
What solar panel can you add to this system to extend battery life?
Decided to ditch my Nest Cam Battery cameras and the doorbell for this brand. I do like that it can be added to HomeKit since I own Apple products
Are u happy ? Any issue?

what is the range of the wireless cam to the base?
Really enjoyed the video. I wanted to know if ambient light is sufficient for night video recording? Any thoughts/recommendations.

Questions regarding the charging, no batteries required? Just charge the camera to the home base device? What about memory? Does this device save your videos automatically, and then delete the videos in 30 days automatically?
Saben como expandir la memoria del homebase?
Se puede poner una usb o algo con más memoria, mi base se queda corta, alguien saben como?
How much (%) do you let the battery drain before recharging again? If I let it drain all the way close to zero %, will it affect the battery life?
I’m having issues idk if anyone can help me out but when I try to watch the live feed it’s just black screen any one know y that is
Do you need to pay for a subscription to playback recordings?
No, that's the best part no subscription needed.
What is the model of Samsung mobile you're using ?
When you get a notification can you look back a few seconds or minutes before the event
Unfortunately no, only from when the motion was detected.
Is it possible to configure a schedule so that, for instance, it only operates at night?
How do you remove the security camera to recharge the battery?
The same way you put them up. The unscrewe, or if on magnet they just pull off. They dont seem real theft proof. Hence why yoy try to mount them high.
Can I run a micro USB from the camera to an outlet and have constant charge?
you should be able, there is a Eufy specific solar panel available which I imagine also just plugs in and charges when it gets sunlight
Only two cameras are supported?
Besides being plugged in to a power outlet, Does the Homebase need to be connected to an Ethernet cable at all times, or can it just use wifi?
The Homebase can be connected to WiFi. I used the Ethernet cable since that provides the strongest signal, but WiFi is just as good.
How many cameras can be connected? Thanks
So you can't multiview with this system?
Sadly no.
Do the cameras come charged?
Can I use this Camera with home base 1?
Worth it
I've seen many reviews that the camera is recording at 1080p on Homekit not 2k. Can you pls explain this?
I have not run into this issue, I set the recording resolution to 2k in the settings from day 1 and it has stayed recording at 1440p. The compression when downloading the footage to the phone is also good.
That works with Alexa ?
Are these all from the ezvz family? Does it need wifi for the camera to connect to base station
It will need wifi for the camera to connect to the home base. I'm not sure if it's from the ezviz family.
Thief took your step ladder!
If lowbat how to charge it?
You will need to charge it through the micro USB port on the back of the camera.
Thanks for review. Are you able make out and/or zoom in on license plates from vehicles in the street?
yes but only during the day if its very clear and sunny
Thanks u did 👍🏽 good
Can family living with me access the cameras videos? They do use my wifi and know the wifi password. I want to be the only one with access to the cameras videos and recordings
No they won't be able too. You need to create an account and set a password for the app. They will need the username and password you set up to access it.
Just don’t use the same password for the Eufy app 😂
The sound is ok how?many caméras can you add
nice video,
paint the wood near the camera
Hi, how many cams can you connect to the home base max? I need 5, is that possible?
Pretty sure it is, I currently have 4. Don't know what the limit is.
According to Eufy - 16 cameras per homebase
What happens if the power goes out? All the camera go down?
The cameras will no longer record because the homebase and your home internet will most likely be down so it won't be able to save your video to the homebase due to the power loss.

@@mattrowlands8149 has it kept up as a good product?
The frame rates ruin it for me. Too low.
I'm sorry we've been shopping around for security cameras for a while and your prices are way high for the market
Micro usb? So old school system
16gb of storage is a joke, especially given the size of the Homebase unit.
pathetic.. its not even USB c. the battery is not enough..
🤡
I’m very disappointed after buying this because 1/ you cannot continuously steaming the video and 2/ it does not record 24/7 but only if there are motions
Money wasted … very disappointed !
Works fine during the day cant see much at night
