  • My jeep was almost broken into for a SECOND time and our neighbor said someone was looking into our house, yet our cameras never picked it up. So, I finally decided it was time to make the switch to 4k cameras.

    Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even ruclips.net/user/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.

    Does it have the issue if you hold the sync button for 10 sec it erase everything from the base ?

  • @abc123fhdi
    @abc123fhdi Год назад +1

    you may want to store footage in the cloud if you're going to be away, eufy does have cloud subscription that's cheaper than Ring. I would imagine if the camera is solar powered it has batteries however, so motion detection and pre roll might not be as good since the camera is asleep to save battery and has to wake on detection before recording.

    ​You may want to check out the video posted today by @The Den of Tools regarding Eufy's cameras uploading your footage from the base station without your knowledge over unencrypted endpoints. Furthermore, anyone can steal your camera and when that happens (or someone presses the reset button on the Eufy camera mounted outdoors) ALL of the footage from that camera gets deleted from the base station. Seems like a major security flaw (Eufy hasn't officially commented on this yet, although Linus Tech Tips also posted a video regarding this). Thoughts?

    • @dt2077
      @dt2077 Год назад +1

      If going for full home security system I would stick with ring, the alarm on eufy homebase is poor, can't hear it past the room it is in, you can set the cameras to sound at the same time but for some reason the camera stops sounding after 30s. Ring may come with subscription but also comes with backup power, cellular backup, homebase is louder, keypad makes alarm sound, echos can be linked to use as sirens, can also be linked to cameras for siren and ring also sells an outdoor siren. For £80 a year it is not a bad deal.

    Eufy has a major flaw. If someone presses the reset button on the camera for 10 seconds all your recordings are removed from the storage hub as well. Lastly, title is misleading.

      @larryferd1510 Год назад +11

      LoL you saw one review and ran with that lil bit of info.. you do know every camera Ring makes the sync button is in the exact same place on every model right on top.. I have 2 Eufy OutDoor Cams the sync button is pretty much locked under an extremely tight weather seal and the actual sync button is so small you need a pen to push it.. now i also have a Eufy L40 SpotLight Cam and yes the sync button is exposed but whos really walking around with a ladder pressing sync buttons?!

    Unfortunately I cannot use the anti theft on these. It's way too sensitive. Everytime someone walked up on deck steps or on a windy day these constantly go off. There should be a sensitivity setting. Also, the mounts on these heavy cameras are way too light and cheap to support their weight. At least in my experience so far.

    You picked Ring knowing they have a subscription fee and in hindsight it’s not a bad thing as cameras are supported for a long time unlike the ones you buy. You never know when they eol it. A reason to change would something be like recording quality or true continuous recording which eufy doesn’t offer. Perhaps the wired models have that

    • @Sola_Scriptura_1.618
      @Sola_Scriptura_1.618 9 месяцев назад

      Yup, the wired models offer continuous recording. I love the ability to store my videos on the HomeBase 3 and Micro SD if the connection is lost. I have plans to install a total of 8 Eufy cameras. This is more of a deterrent tactic then anything else. I have nothing of value to rob, but who wants to go through the hassle of being burglarized?

    If buying a 8MP Camera, make sure the physical size of the sensor is at least - 1/1.2" = .833" . the Eufy cameras are not achieving that sensor size so your night vision is useless.

    I wish they integrated with HomeKit.
    I wish they’d make the app less glitchy.
    I wish they’d improve the audio quality, (two-way is awful, the mic is too, and the alarm isn’t loud enough).
    I wish all of you RUclipsrs would be more forthcoming about the Homebase 3 and how it’s not even currently working with a majority of Eufy products (until April 2023 or later in some cases!) And as of this writing, Homebase 3 isn’t compatible with ANY Eufy wired doorbell.
    I wish they fixed the ability for any thief to simply hold down the reset button and steal it. Once they do, all your footage is gone. Especially if they re-activate it after reset.
    I wish Eufy would make a more comprehensive alarm system. Their touchpad, etc. are very basic compared to these new cameras and smart locks that they’re releasing.
