first-time viewer. I appreciate your clarity of speech, and video, as well as the logic of your review and the complete lack of a music track competing with your voice. I have subscribed as the value of your content is crystal clear.
I purchased the Eufy C24 based on one of your earlier reviews of it and I am very happy with and feel more secure being able to know what is happening around my home and being able to see it 24/7 in the playback mode. Thank you for your informative channel.
I bought the Eufy C24 Indoor Cam plus the window mount after watching your great review, I have a bay window that I have installed the cam on. It's perfect to monitor my driveway and car, It also gives a different lowdown view than my other camera that is looking down onto the drive ......
Thanks for doing this comparison review. I've got the window set up for my Eufy C24 and am super happy with its performance and really like the no subscription rich text notifications. All my cameras are Eufy and all are great.
@@keithblackwood4475 If they are battery powered, they will not because battery powered wifi cameras uses PIR motion detector which doesn’t work through glass. Wired or plug in cameras uses camera based or pixel based detection and uses what the camera sees and they work thru glass.
I stuck a random SwitchBot camera in a window. It doesn’t do anything but it has a little green light that makes people think they’re on camera. So that’s something.
This is a great idea. However I found that a station on the window sill is better as you can adjust the angle the camera can view vs fixated to the glass.
It took 3 hours of brutal research to finally get to your vid. You nailed it for me. Subscribed and purchasing Eufy C24 & window mount!. Thanks big time bruh!
One of the most annoying things about security cameras is the trend toward subscriptions based services. Even if the camera offers basic services without a subscription, it will be severely handicapped. I never cared about remote access or cloud recording, but that shouldn't mean that camera functions should be limited from using the full capability of its hardware without a subscription. I get subscriptions if you want cloud recording and remote control, but doing something like knock your HD camera down to 480p recording on your own SD card or over your private network is stupid.
i use the eufy c24 and i have it recording 24/7 at 1080p in the eufy app and i use it was the apple home, which with my parents family sharing i can use my parents icloud data to record to the apple cloud, i also use the apple homekit for facial recognition etc seems much better than eufy. it works good
Thanks for your great videos.. So well put together and exactly what I needed. I have a Eufy C24 and didn't think I could record at night through the window but your video solved the problem! You are a Master. Thanks Phil
I wish the Panasonic was less expensive. It’s nice that you can easily take it down and move it if needed to. The Eufy after market mount I removed and it became unusable after. I ended up getting 2 sided tape to reuse it.
This is a game changer. I've tried 2 blink cams outside and all they do is record squirrels all day and run out the expensive batteries and lose connection to the sync module.
You know you can connect usb charger to your blink outdoor camera. Will work just like other wired cameras. Or you can also connect solar panel and rechargeable battery.
Panasonic may be good for people who don’t want audio recording for privacy reasons in the home but want window outdoor security video surveillance. I have an old Wyze pan v2 in my window I hate when it records my indoor activity or moves from power restart facing indoors. I bought the v3 for my moms house in a window since Wi-Fi is poor out in her front yard. Bought myself a few too and bought us the window mounts. Still need to set up though.
Thanks for the thorough review. We decided on the Panasonic due to local storage, no monthly plan required and decent night recording. Expensive, yes, but will still save on monthly fees over the long run.
Loved this. I used an Amcrest 1080P PTZ for keeping an eye on the backyard of my 2nd home. To get around IR glare, I turned it off, kept the light-blocking drape closed behind it, and installed a good motion detecting light that covered the yard. It worked - but these window-mount cameras are a better deal - albeit not PTZ. My main home as a dozen POE IP cameras feeding an NVR that let me keep an eye on the entire property. Getting 3 of them going on the shed that's 150' from the house required ethernet over power line adapters as I didn't want to dig another trench to the shed for Cat5. It works well enough to capture frequent deer invasions. I'd never have messed with cameras, but for a thwarted smash and grab attempt on my elderly dad who lived here first and I installed some wifi cameras on the driveway and door for his peace of mind. When I retired and moved in to take care of him, I upgraded the entire system because he got real joy out of seeing me work to care for the property when he couldn't any longer. I did however rebuff his request to put a camera on the hot tub where the wife and I like to unwind before turning in. Thanks for the great review!
Thanks for the review, I was happy to see your update of the Panasonic camera. I actually do not think the no audio is a nagative. Maybe I am a little paranoid, but I prefer not having an open mic running inside my home. I use the Eufy currently on a window and I disabled the mic and audio in the settings.
It is better to have this option and not use it…than needing it and not having it. For example, you are out of the house, you can set the wyze cams to listen for your smoke and CO alarms.
I had to send my Panasonic Homehawk in for repairs and cannot seem to get a status update two days after I have confirmed they took delivery of it. I will just buy a Eufy and be done with the jokers.
Nice review, but I really like my Dekco camera's. So many option and are very clear. Mine do 360 and mount next to the window because they move. If you are looking for another cheap option that isn't tied to the glass I would recommend. Maybe you could do a review on them sometime?
The Eufy looks like the best window camera option. We are not allowed to install floodlights in our development. What supplemental lighting, preferably solar, would you recommend that doesn't require drilling?
Are there any cameras thru glass I can use on a battery OR plugged into a battery pack? I’d like to install a camera thru glass on my door so running wires to an outlet is not a good option. Please help!!!
@@LifeHackster any that comes w usb/usb-c cable that I can plug into an external battery pack instead of wall socket? Or perhaps you’ve a solution for camera thru glass that’s on a door that I’m not thinking of? 🙏
Surprised no one officially or Etsy 3D print stores have not marketed a ring indoor cam window mount that hold it flush to the window while shrouding out perpendicular light like these
Hello! Thanks for this review. It’s very helpful! With any of these systems would there be a way to buy multiple and have all feeds show up on a monitor?
I really love this video. I appreciate the great details. I decided to choose the EUFY C24 but I don't think it's compatible to my wifi 5ghz. Can someone tell me can I still use this product.n
Great review! I purchased a Wyze Cam V3 a couple of days ago. It seems okay, but on the Micro CD card it only records on the (continuous) loop and not on the (events only) i receive a message (operation failed). Kind of strange. Not sure if that's a defect or a software issue.
After having an old, broken car in my driveway broken into twice (the second time was kind of funny, they thought they'd just hotwire a car with a ruined battery and ancient gas in the tank), I've been giving more serious thought to cameras. I was already planning to replace the light over the back door...I'll get a motion detector light. If I stick a wifi camera on the kitchen door, it'll catch idiots in my back yard and driveway...and anyone who knocks on my door (the front door is not in use). I'll be able to check to see if my packages really were delivered, too. I think the Eufy wins hands down in this comparison, but I'll be looking at what else there is out there...but I can see that the higher resolution is important. What's the point of blurry images that can't be used to prosecution thieves?
@LifeHackster Is there a camera that be used as a window cam that has onvif to hook into a computer based nvr? BTW great videos and I have been a fane of your reviews for quite a few years now keep up the great work. and cheers
You can do this with the wyze because you can separately turn off IR and black and white night vision. With the eufy, when you turn off auto night vision, it will be in color which IR emitter will have no effect.
I've watched several videos on Home Hawk, but haven't seen one mounted on upstairs window. What is the field of vision on these? Do they look only ahead but not down at all? Thank you.
Hi we picked the Eufy C120 2 cams indoor based on your thorough reviews but we are having an issue with multicamera view does the app not allow if not is there one you can recommend
Great test, thanks. I was wondering if you could start including Yi Home (or the sub brand Kami) cameras in your tests? They are pretty popular on Amazon, and I have been using them for a few years. My subscription cost is only $18 every 3 months, but I think I have a grandfathered plan.
So I purchased the EUFY indoor camera to hook up to my window to look outside. I got all the products that you had suggested it K’NEX good and all of that I even got the SanDisk. My problem is turbo if it’s not bright, light out side, then the Red lights on the camera come on and I don’t know how to turn them off I know how to turn one but I can’t turn off like the round circle of red lights so it just reflects on the window. I can’t figure out either I’ve got a put something black all the way around except for the little circle of the round camera in the center or I don’t know what to do. I wanna use it when it’s daylight out? When I needed to have a camera in my garage, I use the baby monitor left a small light on and set up the baby monitor and then the little screen part was connected in my bedroom so I could just look on there and I can look out in the garage and see everything in color And I had a two way audio and it ran on Wi-Fi that works really good but I wasn’t getting a very good Wi-Fi signal so sometimes it would fall in and out of Wi-Fi. But all in all it worked really good. I had it out there for two years. But I was hoping I could use this AU FYI camera and hook it onto the glass to look out in a blind spot area. But if there’s no light, then the lights, some of the lights stay on and you just get this back glare. So I’m at the point now where I’m trying to figure out what kind of like can I put there saying that there’s no electrical outlet if I have to install the light just for a camera to look out the window I might as will just install the camera with the light resident go through all of that.😂
Eufy C24 Go to video settings and turn OFF "Night Vision" to get rid of the circle of LEDs. However you will need an external light to get a video....floodlight with PIR or something.
Does the Eufy C24 motion detection work on pixcel movement or IR detection? I want to monitor my vehicle through a window but would like it to only record when motion is detected and I heard that the IR option wont work through glass. Thnaks.
@@LifeHacksterThanks man. Car keeps getting vandalised so I want to set up a camera in my bedroom window to keep an eye on it. It's under a street lamp so hopefully lighting should be good. Tried the same set up using an old Arlo battery camera I have but the IR glare is horrendous at night (can't switch it off) and it won't detect movement through the glass. Going to give the Eufy a try. Thanks for your help and quick reply 👍
I recently discovered your channel and greatly appreciate your clear and concise reviews. In your demonstration, the cameras are mounted at ground level. Is there one that can be mounted from an upper level window with similar results?
Thank you for this comparison video mate 😊. Looking at getting the Imou Cue 2C as it has ONVIF support, and at least kind of folds flat on its stand. Just need to get a longer microUSB cable for power I think ..
**thank u sir and is it possible to download eufy app in 7-inch tablet? i want to mount tablet to the wall and want to keep eufy doorbell camera 24 hours live streaming through the wall mount tablet ? i am asking this question because i saw your video and bought eufy indoor and outdoor camera and now i want to keep live 24 hour camera's streaming but i find out eufy dont have app for pc. and on web if i want to stream. web page switch off streaming every 1 minute . and also u can not live stream 2 camera's at once**
How about recommending a camera with the best mic for recording noise complaints (for eg for dog barking, impact noises from above), etc. I've tried wyze cam v3 and that has a horrible mic for recording this . Eufy indoor is a bit better but has horrible static noise when recording a video.
you need to test more of other cameras online is amazon and has lots of good cameras there and keep on testing it but mine is wired and very tiny much smaller than your finger size so I had it up and I can see it outside when someone is at my door and even when my package arrives in time bit there's no recording or even saves reason is not to pay monthly at all and I don't need that at all so keep looking more of that to test and no monthly payment ok and thanks
at the middle of watching this I pulled up amazon to search for one to buy. Right at the night vision part of the video I canceled order. This is pretty much useless if you can't use night vision. So the overall rating of all these cameras are -1. It is proven that night light prevent crimes in any neighborhood. So if you have to light up your backyard only a crackhead will be stupid enough to enter that leaves your cameras useless if you need to light up the yard.
It's true WYZE has fk'd over ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS from going back on their initial marketing slogan scope of 'no subscription fees - ever'. Sucks because they were an amazing concept and promoted NO SUBSCRIPTION fees but soon fell back on that and forced -> forced you, to comply with 'updates' that removed your otherwise functionally recording cameras. They have pissed off thousands of customers including me over falsely reverting back on their initial fund-raising campaign slogan. Need a NEW company to offer what WYZE stabbed their customer base in the backs over where you can see your OWN videos via YOUR camera from YOUR own SD cards. Tragic case of politics and even though I use them, I'm not a fan of the company any further based on this back stabbing. Camera quality is very good... but.
I have running this setup for years…never had condensation issue (I’m assuming you might have it if you have single pane windows) but you can always take off the camera and wipe it off? Or go outside and wipe it off..if the condensation is outside..
You are missing a very important type of test for any security camera. The cameras need to be reliable. I bought 7 wyze cameras which 3 were replaced. All of them crap out occasionally and several times at critical times. I guess I should have known after replacing the first camera when Wyze recommends just rebooting the camera.
You have to watch more of my videos..I do a yearly videos of cameras I used. Testing reliability takes time and years…and wyze is one brand that doesn’t really last long…you get what you pay for..
Thanks for the comparison! If I wasn't already stuck in an ecosystem of cameras, I'd consider changing. Also, it's a shame there are no angle up/down/sideways window mounts.
@@LifeHackster I am definitely interested in window mounts that allow for an angled position so I look forward to any such window mounts you review. Since you stuck different window mounts on, are the Wyze ones difficult to remove or do they leave residue?
@LifeHackster From what I’m reading in your comments so far most ppl like the Eufy window mount camera. I checked out the link you indicated here but it doesn’t say it’s compatible with Eufy. I’m going to look for your other videos to see if you updated or added a new video with the angle window mount. Thank you!!!
I've been all over your channel the past few days looking at various comparison videos. Your videos are outstanding and you answer all of the key questions. Very impressed and thankful for your efforts.
one of mine is also the Wyze V3 which I use RTSP option to have it stream 24/7 to my second PC so I can "look out the front window" day and night. (recorded another driveway intruder last night) . It is a great setup
Thats something I'm looking for, something I can just put in my window to monitor my driveway from my phone, I don't know much about any of these, but have heard about you have to buy subscriptions I'm not interested in that to be honest, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you!!
@@TimScottDT I do not have a Wyze subscription. There is a setting on the camera app for RTSP (real time streaming) and then I use VLC free video software for viewing and playing older recordings. There are a few YT videos on setting up the RTSP using VLC as the player As mentioned I stream it 24/7 to a second PC which is also used for other PC functions

Why is it that in the UK it say these caneras mounted on glass do not pick up motion detection??

I stuck a random SwitchBot camera in a window. It doesn’t do anything but it has a little green light that makes people think they’re on camera. So that’s something.
ARE YOU SERIOUS???
This is a great idea. However I found that a station on the window sill is better as you can adjust the angle the camera can view vs fixated to the glass.
You have to have fixated to glass to prevent glare
oh yeah, as long as you have lights indoors turned off
It took 3 hours of brutal research to finally get to your vid. You nailed it for me. Subscribed and purchasing Eufy C24 & window mount!. Thanks big time bruh!

I will pass on any camera that requires a subscription.
Why, is it not worth it to see any video history?
Hi LifeHackster, is C24 now C120? Or both same thing.
They are the same thing. Eufy renamed this camera.
Great review! I purchased a Wyze Cam V3 a couple of days ago. It seems okay, but on the Micro CD card it only records on the (continuous) loop and not on the (events only) i receive a message (operation failed). Kind of strange. Not sure if that's a defect or a software issue.
There is a setting to do only event recording. Its under event recordings and then advanced settings.
Make sure the firmware is updated to the latest version
Also get the Cam plus lite which is free with the V3 to get some cloud storage and person detection
You can update the firmware or might need to reset and re-setup. Thanks for watching!

Can you recommend some supplementary lights to support cameras that arent particularly strong or don't have lighting for night time
Wyze
I can’t find the eufy c24 camera, is it the same as eufy c120?
Yes, eufy changed the name from C24 to C120.
Why does the link for the Eufy say C24 but it shows the C120 are they the same?
He answered that the C24 is now the C120.
If you do not want an outdoor light on outside. What about an IR emitter light outside.
You can do this with the wyze because you can separately turn off IR and black and white night vision. With the eufy, when you turn off auto night vision, it will be in color which IR emitter will have no effect.
Thanks that helps me to not make the wrong purchase. The newer color cameras look tempting.
thanks
In the best cams of 2024 video you linked the eufy C120 and it brought me here but theres no C120 in this video
The eufy C24 was changed by eufy to the c120.
What about V3 Pro?
You can also use this using the V3 mount..but video quality and performance and price the V3 or the OG is the better option.
I've watched several videos on Home Hawk, but haven't seen one mounted on upstairs window. What is the field of vision on these? Do they look only ahead but not down at all? Thank you.
Where can I buy or purchase a stick up shelf to set the window camera on? Thank you!
The Euphy C24 is no longer available. Can you suggest an alternative Euphy? Is the C120 a good substitute?
@Eyelash40 They are the same camera just given a different name.
Hi we picked the Eufy C120 2 cams indoor based on your thorough reviews but we are having an issue with multicamera view does the app not allow if not is there one you can recommend
The Eufy app currently doesn't have multicamera view. Check out the Tapo C120 which the Tapo app does have multicamera view.
You are Awesome Thank you
How long for eufy s340 solar to charge
great review
The new eufy wired cam just came out can you please test it.
On the Home Hawk does it only record to an SD card ? On that camera you cannot home in and watch live footage Can you?
Does it have an app?

When I needed to have a camera in my garage, I use the baby monitor left a small light on and set up the baby monitor and then the little screen part was connected in my bedroom so I could just look on there and I can look out in the garage and see everything in color And I had a two way audio and it ran on Wi-Fi that works really good but I wasn’t getting a very good Wi-Fi signal so sometimes it would fall in and out of Wi-Fi. But all in all it worked really good. I had it out there for two years. But I was hoping I could use this AU FYI camera and hook it onto the glass to look out in a blind spot area. But if there’s no light, then the lights, some of the lights stay on and you just get this back glare. So I’m at the point now where I’m trying to figure out what kind of like can I put there saying that there’s no electrical outlet if I have to install the light just for a camera to look out the window I might as will just install the camera with the light resident go through all of that.😂
Eufy C24
Go to video settings and turn OFF "Night Vision" to get rid of the circle of LEDs. However you will need an external light to get a video....floodlight with PIR or something.
Why does the blink mini window mount not fit flush on the camera the mount the mini has on it stops it fitting flush
Do these cameras have a web interface that can be accessed with a computer to monitor and adjust the camera settings?
the amazon C24 link point to C120, is it on purpose?
Does the Eufy C24 motion detection work on pixcel movement or IR detection? I want to monitor my vehicle through a window but would like it to only record when motion is detected and I heard that the IR option wont work through glass. Thnaks.
Yes. Wired or plugged in security cameras uses pixel or camera based detection.
@@LifeHacksterThanks man. Car keeps getting vandalised so I want to set up a camera in my bedroom window to keep an eye on it. It's under a street lamp so hopefully lighting should be good. Tried the same set up using an old Arlo battery camera I have but the IR glare is horrendous at night (can't switch it off) and it won't detect movement through the glass. Going to give the Eufy a try. Thanks for your help and quick reply 👍
Thank you!!
I recently discovered your channel and greatly appreciate your clear and concise reviews. In your demonstration, the cameras are mounted at ground level. Is there one that can be mounted from an upper level window with similar results?
Thank you for this comparison video mate 😊. Looking at getting the Imou Cue 2C as it has ONVIF support, and at least kind of folds flat on its stand.
Just need to get a longer microUSB cable for power I think ..
I need to catch my neighbor dealing drugs. One of these cameras would be great!
**thank u sir and is it possible to download eufy app in 7-inch tablet? i want to mount tablet to the wall and want to keep eufy doorbell camera 24 hours live streaming through the wall mount tablet ? i am asking this question because i saw your video and bought eufy indoor and outdoor camera and now i want to keep live 24 hour camera's streaming but i find out eufy dont have app for pc. and on web if i want to stream. web page switch off streaming every 1 minute . and also u can not live stream 2 camera's at once**
Are any of those cameras onvif compatible?
How about recommending a camera with the best mic for recording noise complaints (for eg for dog barking, impact noises from above), etc.
I've tried wyze cam v3 and that has a horrible mic for recording this . Eufy indoor is a bit better but has horrible static noise when recording a video.
you need to test more of other cameras online is amazon and has lots of good cameras there and keep on testing it but mine is wired and very tiny much smaller than your finger size so I had it up and I can see it outside when someone is at my door and even when my package arrives in time bit there's no recording or even saves reason is not to pay monthly at all and I don't need that at all so keep looking more of that to test and no monthly payment ok and thanks
Will any or all of these work on Android OS?
Look for a camera for 20 feet. My second story. No subscription. Any recommendations?
No
My Arlo doesn't work through glass with night vision
at the middle of watching this I pulled up amazon to search for one to buy. Right at the night vision part of the video I canceled order. This is pretty much useless if you can't use night vision. So the overall rating of all these cameras are -1. It is proven that night light prevent crimes in any neighborhood. So if you have to light up your backyard only a crackhead will be stupid enough to enter that leaves your cameras useless if you need to light up the yard.
My house has no windows. Suggestion?
Thanks for confirming my thoughts, LH. For me WYZE loses by default because my main setup is EUFY and I'm not willing to pay for the subscription
Thanks for watching!
Eufy!
Don't buy HD, most security cameras should be a minimum of 2k resolution.
It's true WYZE has fk'd over ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS from going back on their initial marketing slogan scope of 'no subscription fees - ever'. Sucks because they were an amazing concept and promoted NO SUBSCRIPTION fees but soon fell back on that and forced -> forced you, to comply with 'updates' that removed your otherwise functionally recording cameras. They have pissed off thousands of customers including me over falsely reverting back on their initial fund-raising campaign slogan. Need a NEW company to offer what WYZE stabbed their customer base in the backs over where you can see your OWN videos via YOUR camera from YOUR own SD cards. Tragic case of politics and even though I use them, I'm not a fan of the company any further based on this back stabbing. Camera quality is very good... but.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Window mounted camera is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen. Condensation is just one of the things that will ruin your view
I have running this setup for years…never had condensation issue (I’m assuming you might have it if you have single pane windows) but you can always take off the camera and wipe it off? Or go outside and wipe it off..if the condensation is outside..
The c120 tapo is junk
No RING indoor cam in the race, i'm out
Ring doesn’t have a window mount.
Ring cameras don't perform well on a window mount. I have one, and all you get is a reflection of the camera. It has IR
You are missing a very important type of test for any security camera. The cameras need to be reliable. I bought 7 wyze cameras which 3 were replaced. All of them crap out occasionally and several times at critical times. I guess I should have known after replacing the first camera when Wyze recommends just rebooting the camera.
You have to watch more of my videos..I do a yearly videos of cameras I used. Testing reliability takes time and years…and wyze is one brand that doesn’t really last long…you get what you pay for..
Pinoy 🫶🏽☀️🇵🇭
I will NEVER buy ANY products from Wyze. I was an early adopter and this company has shady business practices. Bait and switch
Thanks
Thanks for the comparison! If I wasn't already stuck in an ecosystem of cameras, I'd consider changing. Also, it's a shame there are no angle up/down/sideways window mounts.
I saw this and will test this out for the V3 -> amzn.to/44q5yZ8
@@LifeHackster I am definitely interested in window mounts that allow for an angled position so I look forward to any such window mounts you review. Since you stuck different window mounts on, are the Wyze ones difficult to remove or do they leave residue?
@@LifeHackster ooh, nice find! I'm going to check this out as I have been looking for something similar.
@LifeHackster From what I’m reading in your comments so far most ppl like the Eufy window mount camera. I checked out the link you indicated here but it doesn’t say it’s compatible with Eufy. I’m going to look for your other videos to see if you updated or added a new video with the angle window mount. Thank you!!!
I've been all over your channel the past few days looking at various comparison videos. Your videos are outstanding and you answer all of the key questions. Very impressed and thankful for your efforts.
Love your reviews, you cover everything and make it fun to watch, hope you start doing other reviews to grow your channel
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I have the Wyze cam V3 with the Wyze window mount and it works perfectly day or night.
one of mine is also the Wyze V3 which I use RTSP option to have it stream 24/7 to my second PC so I can "look out the front window" day and night. (recorded another driveway intruder last night) . It is a great setup
Thats something I'm looking for, something I can just put in my window to monitor my driveway from my phone, I don't know much about any of these, but have heard about you have to buy subscriptions I'm not interested in that to be honest, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you!!
@@TimScottDT I do not have a Wyze subscription. There is a setting on the camera app for RTSP (real time streaming) and then I use VLC free video software for viewing and playing older recordings. There are a few YT videos on setting up the RTSP using VLC as the player
As mentioned I stream it 24/7 to a second PC which is also used for other PC functions
Nice job! Exactly the information I was looking for, but also well thought out and delivered. This was a great format for presenting this kind of information.
FINALLY I was wondering why the Panasonic Homehawk wasn’t in your home tour or recent window setup vids
Thanks for watching!
