Eufy 2K Indoor Security WiFi Camera Review + VS Pan & Tilt Version
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- Today, we are going to check and test out Eufy's 2K indoor security camera and we will compare it to their pan and tilt version that they also recently released. Both of these WiFi cameras have 2k video resolution and the only notable difference aside from their design is the pan and tilt features of their pan/tilt version. There is also a 10 dollar difference between the 2.
We will also compare the video day and night and see if there are any notable difference. So, in the end of this video you will have an idea on which of these cameras is a better choice for your needs.

Thank you for all of your reviews!
Notifications seem to be lightning fast with all of Eufys stuff from door bells to cameras 😍
Yes..notifications are pretty fast and overall responsiveness of the app and cameras.
Thanks 😊! This is so nice, I appreciate your help and video! I will definitely try one of those!
Great video Vince. Gotta love these cameras and their price!!
Thank you... and yes they are pretty good for the price...
You are the best at all these reviews!
Thank You. I appreciate it.
I agree. Very professional. I appreciate the editing to get to the point quickly.
Thanks for your product reviews. I'm looking at security cameras for the first time and your videos have been really useful.
Really liking mine. Got the fixed one a few weeks ago and the pan and tilt one last week. My first cameras so I can't judge too harshly- for the price,especially with the discount for pre-ordering it was a no brainer. I'm excited for home kit support in the near future and hoping they bring it to the wired doorbell as well.
I’m going on a trip soon and want to get one of these for added peace of mind. How is it 3 years on?
Best review on RUclips! Does the live view work remotely (outside the home network)?
Those 2 cams are amazing. I have both cameras and I use the since 1 year ... outdoor !!! They have been under sun, storms , winds .... incredible ! They are just sheltered under a small 10cm tile. Originally, I have to go for some vacations and I had nothing to check my house, so I decided to sacrifice 2 low cost cameras ... They don't want to die ! I use both camera since 1 year now. Still perfect picture, sound and Homekit compatible !!! Very weird ... but I will not complain !
awesome, thanks for the this comment, I am planning to do the same.
Great video. Thanks for the detailed review.
Can you tell me if it can record a time lapse?
I'd like to use it to record time lapses from my plants.
Always look forward to your videos
I appreciate that!
Thanks for this great comparison video
Thank you so much for what you provide!✨🤗✨
Thank You. I appreciate it...
You r the best in security cameras reviews 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you.
Life hacker doesn't pay for the camera, he has lots of cameras around his house, he gets a commission on every brand he purchase
This video was the most helpful of all, as Im currently trying to choose the best option to keep an eye on my cats whenever Im not home. Thank you so much for sharing!
Same here, what do you pick?
@@Hari.Nguyen pan & tilt 🤗
Great review. Very insightful
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I'm leaving Wyze after their 3 year security vulnerability was finally made public. They've made other changes that are anti consumer. The Eufy regular camera seems like a great buy.
Another great video! I purchased two of the pan and tilt models. Like you, the $10 extra was worth it to me...and now that they are in service, I can confirm that it was the right call. These models replaced two of my Wyze Cam V2s, and the difference is noteworthy. Not only is the resolution much cleaner, the pan and tilt function is also smoother. But my biggest joy is the fact that the Eufys show the live stream MUCH quicker than the Wyze Cams. For instance (and I’ve mentioned this to Wyze in their forum), it takes way too long for the Wyze Cams to “Connecting Camera,” then “Authenticating,” then “Getting Video Data.” And when switching from one camera to the other, while I’m still in the app, it must go through the whole process again. Even switching from portrait mode to landscape mode for the same camera, it again has to take the time to authenticate (and often, the indicator just spins and spins-and I have an Orbi mesh system with two satellites in my 2000sq ft house)-very annoying! The whole Eufy experience is so much better than Wyze, that I’ll likely switch out most of my Wyze Cams for Eufy 2K Pan and Tilt models. However, I am thinking that I’ll put a couple of Wyze Cams in the crawl space under the house just to see if I have any field mice or other unwelcome guests getting in. And with HomeKit Secure Video coming to these Eufy Cams, it’s a no-brainer for me. Thanks again for the time and effort you put into your videos-you seem to have the pulse of your viewers, providing us with the information that is important to us.
I agree.. the user experience with the Eufy is way better... The Wyze actually has improved their load up times.. it was way slower before.. but Eufy, EZVIZ and the Yi apps are pretty responsive and loads up their cameras pretty quick... Thank you.
Did you notice the slight stuttering video from the Eufy pan/tilt like the vids shown here? For some reason the pan/tilt stutters but not the fixed version?
How much storage on the sd cards do you recommend? 32gb?
Hi Danny - sorry to drag up an old comment: can you comment on how this camera is one yr on? If you get more than one is it easy to peruse 2 or more of the same cameras through the app? Does it display as a dashboard of cameras or can you only view one camera stream at a time?
Someone above mentioned something about you needing to view the video footage with internet/EUfy's servers, is this true? I.e. you can't use your wifi system to view, if internet is down?
Do you know if you can use an sd card recording alongside recording to the cloud at the same time? So that if the camera is stolen there is still cloud recording available of evidence?
@@Veneros - Thanks for those questions. I was soon to do an update on my two Eufy 2K Indoor Pan & Tilt cameras. Here it is:
- I no longer use those two Eufy 2K cameras because they will not connect to my WiFi router. I replaced an Orbi RBK50 AC mesh system (including two satellites) with the new Asus XT8 AX mesh system (one satellite). All of the smart home devices in my house connect flawlessly, except those two Eufy cameras. I’ve rebooted them multiple times, as well as resetting back to factory. They would work for a very short period of time, and then lose connection. And they won’t reconnect, not even while sitting in the same room as the router (as a test). Very disappointing. And I didn’t want to return to the Orbi’s AC protocol, and had already donated them at the Thrift Store. So I replaced the two Eufys with a couple of Wyze V3 HD cameras (honestly, hard to tell the difference in resolution quality). I have 12 Eufy entry sensors on the doors and windows in my house. I also have two eufyCam 2 Pro 2K cameras with the HomeBase 2 in service. No issues! All connect without a hitch-not the Indoor 2K Pan & Tilt cameras. I bought two of them for my daughter to monitor her newborn, and she has zero issues. She even said that they were so clear, it was kinda creepy-that was a good testimony!
- The Wyze app lets you monitor the live feed of multiple cameras at the same time, as a dashboard. Eufy does not. With the eufy, you can see multiple still shots of each camera view in a vertical orientation, stacked one on top of the other. Really, I can see only two still shots at the same time, but those are not live. To see the live view, you have to first select the camera still shot.
- Viewing through Eufy’s servers vs WiFi….I believe that is true, because when my Internet is down, I cannot view video footage while sitting in my own living room.
- Using SD card. Yes, you can record on SD card and/or via a paid subscription to Eufy’s cloud. That’s the only way to get duplicate video recordings. I did not have the subscription, but did record 24/7 to a 128GB microSD card-good for a couple of weeks of non-stop video footage. Now that I’m not using those eufy cameras, what did I do with those microSD cards? Believe it or not, they work perfectly in the Wyze Cam V3 cameras. Wyze informs us that their cameras can work with up to 32GB microSD cards, but RUclipsrs have claimed success with higher capacity cards. So I followed their instructions and they work flawlessly. I think I get about 3 weeks or so of continuously stored video footage. The Wyze Cam V3 that replaced the eufy Indoor 2K camera that was mounted inside, behind glass, overlooking my driveway looks SIGNIFICANTLY better at night than the eufy, thanks to the Wyze Cam’s new starlight sensor. It really does make a huge difference. So now I’ve got four V3s. I have a V3 Spotlight coming today for one of them.
- Early on, Wyze struggled to load, authenticate, and display the live video feeds. Just took what seemed like forever. They’ve apparently fixed that issue, as load times are significantly faster.
Hope I answered your questions.
Great review as always. Its my go to channel for cameras review. Love the flip flops in the house though.
Great video, Thanks! Can we watch the footage on computer from micro SD without paying for subscription?
U are an architect 😻. Thanks man
Very good lightning in the shots that you are talking.
I got my pan and tilt today!
Cool...you will love them..
your reviews are the absolute best. thanks so much for helping me with my decision.
Hi ! Thanks for this review ;) where did you buy your foot with cable management for eufycam 2k ?
Excellent review..this is exactly what I am looking for. I am going with the regular camera due to the wide angle, which is enough where I don't need pan and tilt. Plus if I buy the 2 camera pack, it saves additional money.
Thank you for following up on the server outage with Eufy. Big thumbs up for going the extra mile to get the information directly from Eufy.
Thanks for nice review, just checking if I can point this towards my backyard through a window glass, is it going to affect picture quality and motion sensor range?
Great review as always. The only difference with the PTZ is that it is listed outside the home because it is programmed as a stand alone device. If you are using the alarm items. I reached out to Eufy and they said it may change on future updates. They have updated the firmware about every 30-45 days and always a seamless process.
have you tested the EufyCam 2 PRO 2k yet?
Thank you for all of your reviews!
It’s the blink mini, but I know it’s to late :c. Great video as always!
Yes.. but Surge P is quicker this time around... next time.
Haha.. yeah I guess so
I appreciate your thorough testing of security things! Ok. The Eufy website says it does not record 2k to the cloud. How can you record in 2k with them? Does it only record to 2k to the sd card? Also, can the Eufy 2k indoor cam record to local and cloud at the same time? Thanks so much in advance! I’m your new fan haha ✌🏼✌🏼
Already subscribed 👍🏼
Thank you.
Hi Lifehackster, great video thanks. it's been 2 years already since you posted this video. Need to buy a good indoor cam. Are these cams still relevant i.e among best options or is there another indoor cam you recommend in 2023 ? Thanks.
HI, because outlets in the correct location can be an issue, I would opt for one of the 365 day charge and use it indoors. Of course these are higher price wise. Great review!
Yes, that will work too..
hi s miller, using the eufy security camera plus (with the 365 day battery life) you have to mount these in the right angle correct? It has no pan/tilt ability so putting it on a shelf i presume you are stuck with whatever its viewing angle is where you lay it flat on the shelf, as it can't adjust remotely? Or can it?
@@Veneros Yes you are correct. no remote pan or tilt. So how you mount it will be the view you have.
Was just thinking of doing exactly that
can't wait for you to review the new Wyze outdoor camera that just came out.
I pre-ordered it..will be testing it out when it comes in..
Great channel and review!!! Will this cameras motion sensor still work through a double pane window if I want to record outside activity but keep the camera indoors on a windowsill? Thanks
Yes, it will.
Great review, thank you!
Thank you...
Hi , thanks for your wonderful reviews. Can you please confirm if I can switch on 24/7 recording and tell me if there is a feature that shows me recorded time-frames, which I can playback to view? Thanks a lot
Hi . Can you recommend a product that can cleanly hide the wire and the adapter of the eufy 2k pan and tilt cam when mounted on a wall or ceiling?
The camera you had in your hand with the cord management is the blink mini
Nice video!
In your opinion which you prefer: Eufy 2k indoor cam OR G2H?
I am a new in Apple HomeKit system and I want a security camera to see everything through my iPhone
(In my case I can get the 1st for 35€ and 2nd for 50€)
Thank you
Thanks. I would also spend the extra 10 bucks for the pan/tilt.
Yes.. the pan is not that much more expensive...and you get more features..
The Pan and Tilt video was noticeably more choppy like it had a lower frame rate. No one else sees this?
The audio quality was worse too 🤔
I'm pretty sure anyone with eyes could see the difference.
@@ratedRblazin420 I guess the reviewer is blind, ha.
I've been searching for this comment. Still no reason why the pan/tilt is choppy and the fixed version isn't?
Good to know other people noticed it too.
The audio on the regular indoor cam was slightly better as well.
I love it when you say "Alex A" lol... It's Alexa (girls name)
Lol that's so not to trigger yours while watching this video
Hii. Thanks for the comparison. What about the 360 degree round look?
You mentioned the latency from the camera to the app. I am curious as to the latency between integrations such as Alexa skill, and homekit. Do you have any insight on this subject?
Just wondering if you tried this one inside window for front door? Which one worked better, the pan and tilt or new one?
Thank you
Quality review
Can you watch the live recordings when you are not home? Or do you need to have a subscription?
Thanks for the great review! How has your experience been with using it with HomeKit? Secondly, do these cams need a hub?
These don't need (and can't use) the hub. I got one and it fails to connect to the network after it works briefly during initial setup with the app. My WiFi sees it, so perhaps it's the Eufy server that's the point of failure.
Thanks for the reviews as always. Have a question:
I would like to know the approx total time to fill a 64GB microSD card on 2K resolution? Can I lower the recording quality easily if I need to have longer record period history?
Around 1 month on motion events only with the pan version..you can change it to 1080p in the recording settings..
LifeHackster Thanks LH. I think my first question was not clear. I wanted to ask if you sum up the time of all the events that filled 64GB on 2k, does it give u a 2 or 3 hrs of events? Good to know 1080 is an option. Getting me exited on Eufy products.
I just found this video and it's well done.
Do both of these cameras require an account?
I don't need remote access. I'm guessing motion detection won't work through glass. I just want to be able to check outside (without mounting the camera outside) if I hear something. The eufy site isn't much help.
Thumbs up and I've subscribed.
Hi, Thanks for the review. Can I view a live video and receive alerts on my cell phone when I am not home?
Is there a way to view multiple feeds on a grid? I have two pan and tilt cams and would like to be able to view both simultaneously.
Hi is there a limit how long you can view live mode? I.e. I think the blink mini is 5 mins
Great review!! Thank you!!! I heard you cannot turn off the infrared sensors from the non tilt version. Is that true??? This is something not good in case you leave it behind your windows, during the night. Also the position of the cable does not help in tight spaces. Cheers
You can turn it off ... watch this clip - ruclips.net/video/MdlpQUqnpWk/видео.html
I call these cameras floating cams cause you can literally take them any where with wifi. My wife and I have taken 1 of these to the inlaws and connected it to their wifi to watch their house while they're away on holiday and works perfectly on eufy app.
Merci beaucoup !!!!! :D
@LifeHackster Would you pick the Eufy or Blink mini ?
Hi, do you know if the Eufy 2ccamera can use the same ceiling mounts as the Arlo cameras? Thanks
How visible are the IR LEDs at night? Would a thief or someone that enters your home in the dark be able to immediately know there’s a camera pointed at them?
Would you choose the eufy pan and tilt vs wyze cams?
I know it’s indoors but I got mine mounted outside. Its in a covered area and won’t get wet. Quality is way batter then my arlo pro and pro 2. Impressive camera. I wanted something that records 24/7 and this works wonders.
Still good with your camera mounted outdoor? I’m thinking about doing the same thing, under a covered porch, but I live in Florida, very humid during the summer
Pan cam and or the ring indoor , for a window set up ? 🤔
The Blink Mini has the wire management in the base.
Great comparison video! Pan n tilt definitely looks better.
The wire management camera is probably the blink indoor. 🤔
Thanks and it was the Blink Indoor but you are just a bit late...
LifeHackster I knew I was gonna be late. Any chance I can install an indoor camera in your house, so I could get notifications as soon as you upload a new video? 🤔 RUclips notifications aren’t fast enough 😂
That said, the videos you upload at worth amazon gift cards, so I don’t really care if I’m late! 👍
If I turn on 24/7 recording will it still record clips of motion? and how long are the clips? Also I assume the recordings will be kept on your phone depending on the sd card size so like 32gb will only give you 3 days of 24/7 and clips?
Anyone know how much does this pan down in the upright position? I saw that it doesn't pan down much compared to the E1 Zoom?
Hi Sir can you identify if what video compression they used for this Eufy indoor cameras?
Thanks for that - can these (both of them) connect to the Home base 3 through the wifi?
I would just like a fairly simple camera with local storage to get smart phone notifications to monitor my workshop not to worried about video quality just need mainly the notification facility.would these cameras be suitable please?
the 2k pro is wireless and can be used outdoors, other than that does it
offer anything more than the 2k indoor in terms of picture quality and
features? thanks!
Will these pick up movement through a window if you wanted to direct the camera onto your garden from inside whilst you're on holiday? Thanks
Question: If you have more than one base station, will all the cameras from every base station be viewable on a single app?
Does the Pan & Tilt camera use PIR or pixel change for motion detection?
Is there a way to disable the audio recording on the cameras?
can the ball joint stand be removed from the camera on the C24 indoor cam?
Love ur videos and make my decision based on them. I just bought eufy pan indoor camera. I just notice when i stream my camera on Echo show5 there is lot of delay like 5 to 6 sec delay in Video. Is it normal.
I have another question about door bell
Im confused between ring pro and eufy because of this delay. Please share ur thoughts
Thanks
Yes..all other brands except for Ring will have a longer delay... in m not sure if it is going to be improved in the future. Ring and Alexa integrates pretty good..
I actually purchased reolink E1 Zoom and was very impressed by the 2K camera . But the way for display playback was very terrible . I like the timeline style like ring or ezviz app. Really don’t like that I have to search among a long list of video footages.
The new Wize Outdoor cameras go on preorder sale tomorrow 9:00am PT !!! Will you be buying them to review ? I hope so ! I’m going to preorder a couple anyway but still value your opinions. Thanks !!!
Yes.. pre-ordered them...thanks..
Motion blur is quite bad I’m not sure it would be much good in the event of a breaking unless close up or the person stays relatively still which isn’t the case the added led night lights make it a first target on entry as well it’s a shame as the specs looked so promising
Im in Australia. Has this camera been released and if so, do you know when it will be coming to AUS? I cannot find this in any stores in AUS.
Ezviz c1c-b VS eufy 2K indor. Recommendation?
Can the indoor cams connect to the base station that comes with the outdoor cams?. Would be nice to have local storage all on one.
I am wondering the same...
What are those triangle shaped light things at 1:34 in your office can you tell me what they are please. Great video!!!
They are nano leaf lights -> amzn.to/2VeAQ42
Thanks so much can you review some smart lighting
I have a existing eufy wired doorbell camera, do these cameras use the same app for the doorbell camera or must I download a different eufy app specific to these cameras ?
How many gb memmory that I can use maximum And is there any base station for to use
eufy 2k or ezviz c6w? which has thw better video quality?
Hi ! I buy this camera and i know it's good ! But i have a question ... can i use this camera on my pc for webcam? ( sorry mybenglish ;-) )
CAN YOU PLEASE COMPARE IT WITH THE TAPO C110? THANKS!
I have 2 places that I need to monitor, my family house and my apartment, is it possible to connect 2 places to the same app ? moreover, my mom need to see the cameras in my family house, is it possible for many people to connect to the same camera ?
Are both of these compatible with the Eufy Hub?
You should be able to view and control the cameras without an internet connection, like the DVR wired cameras. No server necessary when viewing from the same wifi network as the cameras.
Was this ever debunked or internet access still required to view the cameras?
Hi LifeHackster, if you decide not to sign up for cloud storage and only use local SD storage, can you still get access to your videos if the bad guy steals your camera? Is there any way, beside subscribing to cloud storage, to get access to your videos if your camera is stolen by the bad guy? Thx.
If you do have micro sd card in it? Can you record the video 24/7 without storage problem? Thanks
eufy specs on their site says supports storage to NAS. Anything you can share on that?
Not a word about HomeKit Secure video and when and where it's coming?
Supposedly in mid July... they are in beta right now..
You should review the Amazon cloud camera
I have to check it out... thanks.
Amazon steals other's priority products & copies them.
Quick question: Do they have pre-roll recording? If they do, how many seconds before the trigger event?
Not really, but every time i get an event I get a 1-2 second preroll automatically.
does the camera have storage? if so, does it delete the oldest footage as it records new footage?
