I just bought these and they are easy to set up and customize. The anti theft feature is awesome. Scared the hell out of me when I moved one of the cameras 🤣
I’ll definitely include it with my next Eufy video…. But what it is, is an alarm that goes off if someone tries to move the camera. You can deactivate it when you need to take it down to charge.
@@DoItYourselfDad I’m finding the snooze function is very useful. Especially for our camera on the back deck as we are always moving around during the day.
Title is a bit misleading, you say HomeKit camera but you don’t add it to HomeKit. Just to make note when you do add it to HomeKit, it doesn’t support 2K apple only allows 1080p at the moment
Subbed. Just picked up a 4 camera kit this past weekend. Looking forward to getting them setup. I already have the door lock and doorbell. How are camera's holding up a year later?
Excellent review.... Your thoughts after 5 months? The eufy 2 is on sale now for $215 on Newegg. I have the eufy doorbell cam. I'm hoping the app will run both. Last question... Did eufy ever get the USB on the hub to work with an external thumb or hard drive?
How is the sound quality? My wife and I were thinking about using this as a baby cam for newborn on the way and using the other for our toddler’s room as well. Do you think this was work well as a baby monitor? Thanks!
Thank you for the review! Could you give a real life estimate how long the batteries of these cameras last? I had Arlos which did not last more than a week. Thanks!
Play camera that I have that gets the most traffic is the one over my driveway, it’s been constantly triggered so I would drain the battery the fastest. I have to charge that one every four months or so.
I have zones setup, so I don't detect people until they enter that zone. Ive noticed the recording is pretty much instant when they enter the zone. I blocked out the sidewalk so I wouldn't get constant allerts.
Hi, thanks for the video. Will the alerts work if your not at home, and say you're at a restaurant or on holiday? will you still get an alert and see footage of what's going on back home? Thanks
Thinking of purchasing this for the home. If I buy another set for my cabin running on a different wifi signal, would the app be able to separate the 2 sets of camera?
I bought the same camera but my video a live feed is really laggy. My signal is really strong according to the homebase. I didn’t have this issue with the Eufy 2C.
The 2cs are 1080, these are 2k so more days. Try going into settings and changing the streaming resolution (that won’t effect the video quality of the recording). I’d imagine that should speed things up a bit.
Do you still like the Eufycam? When you setup multiple zones, can you select which zones send notifications? For example, I’d like a zone covering my front deck and driveway, and to be notified if there’s motion. And zone 2 will cover the street, which id like to capture the motion, but not get notified about it.
Useful review. I am wondering how close someone has to be to the camera before it registers them. My camera is going to be quite high up and they won't be able to walk up to it. (on a balcony). Other reviews have mentioned that someone needs to be within 10ft of it before it sees them. Do you know if this is true?
The one I have over my driveway is at least 12ft off the ground and over 20ft to my cars abs it doesn’t have a problem picking up people. That may be the case if you do t have any light where your setting up the camera, I have a little amount of light on the driveway and that seems to be enough at night.
Great review thank you. Can you please tell me how far the wifi reaches. This is a major issue with my current Arlo system. Hence why I’m changing systems.
Great review. Explains everything very well. I couldn't help but notice on the settings it mentions "NAS ( RTSP )". Are you able to get a RTSP stream from this cam as the other wireless cameras do not have that option?
It looks like you can, though I haven’t played around with it. I’m planning on playing around this weekend as I already have a disk station set up in the house.
From what I can tell they have the same battery capacity, but because of the spot light the battery is only advertised to last 180 days. I haven't played around with that model yet.
How far can you place the camera from the home base unit and still get footage? Like if your storage house (with no Internet connection) is about 100 meters from where you live. And would wifi extention unit allows additional distance between camera and home base unit in this case?
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?
Just got a quick question, what if I place the camera behind a glass, will the motion sensor still work? Im planning to buy one and put it in my Car, so I wonder if that will still work. Could you please give it a test? Also, do I need to buy the hub with the camera for it to work?
Yes, it will still work behind glass, but I wouldn't recommend it. Behind glass you will have to turn off the IR, which would mean it wouldn't work well at night, If you are are looking for something that doesn't need a hub check out the Eufy E40 here: amzn.to/37XR4s1
You failed to mention the alarm setting if you set the alarm when the guy reaches up and grabs it not only will your homebase start sounding with an alarm but also the camera to let you know which way the son of a bitches run it seems like a nice feature I haven’t tried it yet
Awesome video, do you know if the system is able to continuously record in 2K to the hub? I understand that it will record any sort of motion if you specify the areas. But I would like it to just constantly record. Also do you know if the camera 2c with the spotlight it's compatible with this hub? Like can you mix and match the latest 2k cam with spotlight? Thanks again for your time. Cheers
It doesn't continuously record, it only records events, though the event time seems to be a max of a minute and then it will record another. It doesn't seem to have a cool down. Im not sure about the cameras with the spotlight, but I would assume you could. I have the 2k cameras and my older 1080 cameras all paired to the same hub.
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.
Hi there sir, just wanted to ask about the real time alert on the app to your smartphone. Is it really real time? I’m planning to buy these cctv on my garage and garden was hoping you could help me. Coz I bought a slightly same cctv but the alerts are quite bad it’s not real time. Thanks in advance and hoping you will notice me. Thanks and stay safe🙏
Thank you for the review, just need to know if the Homebase 2 needs to be conected all the time via LAN after the intial set-up? Can it work wirelessly via Wi-Fi? It's for an Airbnb rental, but off course the cameras will be outside, I just don't have lan connection where I will put the base and I don't want people meddling with it, so it will be in a secure place!
Hi, I'm sorry but I am confused, I thought the Hub has storage enough for 30 days looping; if this is the case then where does "No Monthly Fee" come to play? if there is a free cloud, then why the manual doesn't show how to access it? The App does not show any option to view the Cloud Storage.
Your not viewing cloud storage, your viewing what’s stored on the hub. I mention the no “monthly fee” because a lot of companies do charge either to access to the cloud or for features like person detection.
The hub has 16 GB of storage not necessarily 30 days so if you have lots and lots and lots it may only last a little while actually what I do is I go to my dailies and I delete them all and I immediately copy to my iPhone or my cloud any that I intend to save that way I keep my 16 gigs down to about 1 1/2 gigs giving me plenty if I fail to do that for quite a while
These you need the base station.... though tomorrow moring I have a video coming out about the new Eufy solo cam which doesn't need a base station and connects to wifi. Pretty happy with it, and it films in 2K. Check that one out, it should work out for what you need.
This one hands down, it’s more expensive but the resolution is double the Wyze cams so they are much better if your using them as security cameras. Also with these being wireless you can place them in better places.
I have a question regarding microphone. You mentioned that we can have a conversation through it. So how does it work? For example I am at home, I get notification that someone let's say passing my driveway, camera turn on and they can hear me?? Like.. does microphone turns on automatically as well.
I bought the Eufy Cam 2 pro with two cameras. The motion detection is pathetic. I wouldn't even say it is 50% with it set on max sensitivity with detection zones set. Went in the Anker Eufy support forum and just found people complaining about how there is no support.
@@DoItYourselfDad 10ft? I walked back and forth across my driveway trying to see when it would trigger. Apparently if you mount the camera more than 8ft off the ground it misses a lot.
Strange, the highest camera I have is definitely higher than 8ft, probably closer to 9-10. I haven’t had issues, the only thing I could think of is that since it’s looking downward it doesn’t see the profile of a person so it doesn’t trigger the AI. Do you have it set to person detection?
@@DoItYourselfDad yeah. I tried both ways. With person detection both off and on. It is like my truck causes a giant black spot around it where the AI can't detect anything. Sorts defeats what I wanted it for to watch if people are messing with my truck. Going to try the Wyze V3
Very strange, the camera I have above my driveway is the one at 8-9ft, looking at a truck and a car and I haven’t had issues. Possibly mine is set at less of a downward angle? I had a V3, and a bunch of V2s, very impressive cameras. Best of luck!
Not much difference from 2c to 2pro. Can u watch your video alerts on your t.v. without getting up from your bed ? Can u take it off home kit and switch it to the home app in order to say something on the cam then switch it back to home kit ?
These have double the resolution of the 2c, if your trying to make out facial features to ID someone it makes a huge difference. I haven’t messed around with HomeKit, and I won’t until Apple starts to support devices with higher resolution than 1080.
I have a few questions. 1) how long is each event recording. 2) is there a cool down time between events.? I know my Wyze cameras are like 15 sec recordings and like a 5 min cool down between events. Thanks
On the wireless cameras the event recording time seems to be a max of 1 minute from what I can see in my events. I also have the 360 cam that it wired, Im seeing events as long as 5 minutes on them. There doesn't seem to be a cooling off period like the wyze cameras have. I upgraded to these from wyze and so far I've been really happy with it.
Hi, i bought eufycam a week ago. Already installed it. And it works fine.the only problem is I haven't received any notification and video record on my phone. When I or anyone move around on the camera. I checked all the settings too.I set even the "AWAY" mode but atill, no notification, no camera record, no alarm. Help please. Thanks.
@@DoItYourselfDad oh wow that sounds great!...I just got 4 eufy cam 2 pro cameras myself..I’m still hoping they have expandable storage for the home base 2 in the future.
Good luck with that..... Also, if you wanted to, there is an option to upload to the cloud, or a LAN, or server. When Apple decides to support anything higher than 1080p I'll consider it. 1080p for a security camera is borderline useless.
I have it, it’s ass, the detection is REALLY bad and then I’m told “these sensors only detect left to right motion” sounds really good for my drive way 🙄 and then when it does detect, it stops early often while motion is still happening, the only other option is to set it to 3 minute intervals with a 5 second cool down.
@@DoItYourselfDad yeah, they tell me “they use PIR sensors and PIR sensors detect better left - right motion” which it doesn’t matter to me either way because in the end, they failed me. So now I have this camera and still need to buy something to replace it that does continuous recording with motion alerts as from reading forums, this is mainly a battery operated camera issue.
If you’re still looking for something that loop records these definitely are at the cameras. You’re not going to find anything that’s powered by a battery that is continuous loop recording.

It records in one-minute segments, but it will record them back-to-back.
How about the range from home base to cameras? Considering signal has to go trough walls?

Wi-Fi bridges will work with the solo cams that work on Wi-Fi, these cameras connect directly to the base station, not through Wi-Fi.

When I or anyone move around on the camera. I checked all the settings too.I set even the "AWAY" mode but atill, no notification, no camera record, no alarm.
Help please. Thanks.
Are you on an iPhone or android?
@@DoItYourselfDad android sir
Do you feel the 16gb of storage is sufficient?
I've got over a month of footage (4 cameras) on mine.
@@DoItYourselfDad oh wow that sounds great!...I just got 4 eufy cam 2 pro cameras myself..I’m still hoping they have expandable storage for the home base 2 in the future.
@@rog3rbee915 You can add a NAS.
Which ios app do you download? The Eufyhome or the Eufy Security?
Eufy security
@@DoItYourselfDad Thank you.
Do you need WiFi for this to work?
You'll need wifi to set it up and full video from it, but you don't need it for the system to work.
I think a burgler can unscrew the camera just as easy as pulling it off a magnet.
There’s a tamper alarm you can activate that will go off in the camera is tampered with.
Needs HomeKit Secure Video.
These work with HomeKit.
@@DoItYourselfDad They now have the secure video stored on icloud via homekit secure video?
No need to, these save your footage locally, not on the cloud.
@@DoItYourselfDad so, I break in, loot your place and grab the homebase. You have no video.
Good luck with that.....
Also, if you wanted to, there is an option to upload to the cloud, or a LAN, or server.
When Apple decides to support anything higher than 1080p I'll consider it. 1080p for a security camera is borderline useless.
I have it, it’s ass, the detection is REALLY bad and then I’m told “these sensors only detect left to right motion” sounds really good for my drive way 🙄 and then when it does detect, it stops early often while motion is still happening, the only other option is to set it to 3 minute intervals with a 5 second cool down.
You were definitely told wrong…
@@DoItYourselfDad yeah, they tell me “they use PIR sensors and PIR sensors detect better left - right motion” which it doesn’t matter to me either way because in the end, they failed me. So now I have this camera and still need to buy something to replace it that does continuous recording with motion alerts as from reading forums, this is mainly a battery operated camera issue.
If you’re still looking for something that loop records these definitely are at the cameras. You’re not going to find anything that’s powered by a battery that is continuous loop recording.
I dont use apple products.. just starting wyze cam set up
These work the same way on android.

If you need that much security you need to move to a safer neighborhood.
