Just an FYI, Steve. Blink local storage now allows you to view video clips on your cell phone. I'm grandfathered with Blink's free cloud storage, but helped a friend set up his Blink system and was surprised how fast his local storage clips opened remotely when we were out at Breakfast this week. My Blink system is three yrs old now and my cameras are placed in low activity areas as a supplement to my Protection One, hard-wired cameras and Alarm system. I'm still using the original Blink batteries. Their video quality is very good and I have a hard time seeing any meaningful difference in the 720P vs 1080P settings on my phone and on clips shared to my PC monitor. There only weak point for me was the night vision, but that was an easy fix by turning the night vision feature off and adding motion lights. Now I'm very pleased with their color night vision. The Blink set-up and app have been rock solid reliable and trouble-free (so much so that they are boring). Thanks for another fair and honest review. Keep up the good work.
Out of all the RUclips videos we watched, yours was by far the most informative. We appreciate your time. We liked the Arlo and Eufy, but think we will go with Arlo, even though we have to have a subscription. It just seems like the better one. We'll see. Thanks so much for doing this video.
Thanks Steve. I'm considering a system since a recent theft at my house. I've narrowed it down to battery powered, stand alone systems and these were my top 4. I'm leaning towards Eufy mostly because of the fact that it is truly stand alone with no subscription. Thanks for a clear concise review. I would like to see a little more about the Eufy base station.
I feel like the eufy sounded so much better. You're right that it was tinny, but it is the only one where I could hear nearly everything you said. I couldn't hear most of your arlo dialogue at all.
So i used the audio default levels in this video but when i watch this clips on my phone i can jack up the volume and hear them all better. Even the awful audio from Ring. =\
Thank you Steve for your demonstration of each camera's picture and sound. I bought an Arlo surveillance camera. Just one. You plug it in to the wall. The video picture is great. However, if you have it set up to pick up sound and motion. It will run continually with extreme fuzz, static and crackling noises, that are so loud, you can't hear anything that the person was saying. There are many complaints due to the loud background, static noise and the camera never stops. This gives you many videos with constant static. I've watched through them, hours of static. I could make out a man's voice in one of them, but you could buy clearly hear what he was saying and there was no video. It's extremely time consuming and annoying when there's noonr I haven't heard anything about this defect bring taken care of in the Arlo surveillance cameras. Mine worked very well when I first bought my camera, both sound and video were excellent. Maybe, it's only like this for the cameras, that don't pay for the subscription. If they fixed the Arlo surveillance cameras so they can pick up and record clear sound and clear video. It would be worth getting more cameras. If they still have the loud static, it's only good for video. Don't turn on the sound or you'll have hours of static video to watch and not know if there is motion. Maybe, the clear recording is one of the features they block if you don't pay for their subscription?
Just got two Arlo Essential Spotlight cameras. I also purchased the Wasserstein solar panels for better battery life. I haven’t set them up yet so will get back to you when I’ve had them on for awhile.
Thanks Steve! I have had all the Arlo Pro cameras (0,1,2) and accessories... Spent more $ than I probably should have hoping to extend the useful life of my Arlo system (Cameras, Batteries, Chargers, Hubs). Arlo decision to start charging for any cloud storage is/was a serious concern... I too started looking at the Eufy system and I totally agree with your assessment... Eufy is not as good in all areas, but they have not declared any of their products as obsolete or at End of Life (EOL) making your investment worthless.... as Arlo recently has... Thanks!
I’ve had blink for 3 years, they froze my system and completely made it offline because I had free storage. I’ll never purchase blink ever again for that reason. Also, Blink only allows a maximum of a 60 second video recording then shuts itself off. It also has a 3-5 second movement recognition delay before it even starts to record. That’s why it’s called Blink....it’s just a quick glimpse that’s all.
I have Eufy and it has some of the same flaws. Like 5 second dead time before it will recognize the next event. I think that's crazy. Also seems to miss some events. I am seriously thinking about moving to wyze cam3 running in continously mode.
Hey Steve, I'm late to the party but I currently have the Arlo system and I'm searching for a replacement. For me, it's not working out to my satisfaction because 1) It takes to long to notify me of motion, and 2) opening up to see a live feed takes forever and sometimes I've even had to close the app and restart it to bring up the feed. I'm leaning towards Eufy as my choice for these reasons. Keep up the good work 👍
I just bought the eufy 2c pro and i have the arlo pro2. For me there is one other great advantage for arlo cams. If you're looking for mounting the camera's ! Arlo has his magnet, so you don' t have to do much , to move the camera to another spot , you only need something metal!
excellent comparisons Steve. Very helpful for me as I am new to security cameras. I think I will be investigating Arlo & Eufy in more detail but I'm liking Eufy right now for it's lack of subscription requirement, Thanks very much
Funny thing I just spent a week trying to go Thu all the security cameras available and narrowed it down to euly and arlo.I picked euly because of the no cost after buying. Now I watch this video.Could have saved a lot of time if I only found this video. Thanks Steve for making me feel like I picked a good system.
Wondering if you tested connectivity to wifi at different distances with each camera? Which one has to be closest to your wifi hub? And how far away could they be and still have clear signal?
Steve, thanks for your efforts. Would you please add the models of the camera and specialities comparison such as price, resolution, battery life etc next time? And also move sideways, compare autodetection and movement tracking etc.. Highly appreciated. Thanks.
I agree with your assessment. I have Eufy and am happy with it. The no subscription costs is huge for me and a bit less quality is worth the savings to me.
Hi Steve, I like the way Ring Time line moves so you can watch the playback, like in the video - 3:00 minutes mark. I have a YI camera and every car lights that flashes on the wall makes the camera record, motion detected. NOT good I like the EUFY cameras. Do you know if the motion detection comes on at every light flashing on the wall or for a outside camera. And does the time line playback work like the Ring camera. Do these features work the same on the Cam 2c, Cam 2Pro, Cam 2cPro and the indoor C24. Thanks, Jim B
The Ring stick up battery camera is the only one I have tried. I’m very happy with it. Easy to set up and use. The app is ok. No facial recognition, which would be nice, and also requires paid subscription (£2.50/month). Picture quality is great, and motion detection is accurate.
Thanks for this video! It was super informative and really helped me to narrow down my choices...Arlo does have a nice image but Eufy is good enough and not having to pay for cloud storage plus having the option to set up a NAS as well (so I can avoid using a third-party company's cloud storage in the first place) helped me opt for this one (or at least have it among my final candidates).
My wyze camera will send me a notification of a vehicle or a person and that notification starts recording before anything is in view of the camera and after it's out of view with a camera does any other cameras do this because I like this feature I never miss what is happening in a notification but I am looking for an outside camera now the one that I am using I have in my window but I want actual outdoor cameras I prefer battery.
Really great video. I'm just started looking for a security camera and your video was extremely useful. I thought the Eufy was the best before your summary. i thought that the audio was really clear, yes a bit tinny but clear which I thought was better for this type of camera. I didn't know that Amazon were behind Blink and Ring so I wouldn't be opting for them. Kind regards Paul (UK)
Doesn't the blink have coloured night vision now with the floodlight extension? They're also releasing a hard-wired floodlight which apparently has better quality and motion detection
I've heard you have to have some type of an Apple product like Apple TV or an iPad with apple icloud storage in order to utilize the full capabilities of the eufy, is there any truth to that?
Very nice video. I know you didn't want to compare the Arlo Ultra to the other cameras due to the differences in resolution but it would of been nice to see the Ultra get some shine in the comparison test being that it is a battery powered camera.
@@SteveDOES Thank you man. The Ultra is a pretty good camera that tends to not get the shine due to it's high price point but at the moment I can't find another battery powered camera that's on its level.
Steve Reed video I really would like to find out how far these cameras go on Wi-Fi right now the older model they were praying don't forget the base station as alarm system on it too in house, system it's not a bad deal but don't forget arlo I don't need a cloud storage either I have an 8 terabyte external hard drive and I have connected to who my images are saved to that I can still look at and store off my phone thanks again like I say the main thing is looking forward to how far away the camera moves for the base station on Wi-Fi that's why I am really truly interested in it thanks happy new year
Don’t know if you read comments but, I’m looking for a camera that will be stuck (no screws) onto my RV. Now there is no WiFi, it’ll be off grid in areas where there is no cell service. I’d like it to be motion activated and store on a SD card. Thievery is up....even in the boonies!
Hmmm, that’s an interesting scenario. I know Arlo will record to the local storage plugged into its base if the internet goes down. But I’m not sure if other cameras like Eufy or Reolink do. I believe you might be able to do this with Reolink Argus 3 but you might want to check with their customer service just to make sure.
Thank you so much for doing this, it's the best review of these cameras I've seen. One question, I saw you demonstrate the cameras at night, one was in black and white and the other wasn't, so I take that you have the option to either use the spotlight on the Arlo camera or not?
I purchased a two camera eufy camera system two years ago. Worked great for six months then home base stopped working. Customer service is good, they sent a replacement home base and I mailed the defective one back prepaid by eufy. Unfortunately, two years later and this home base stopped working. I like the camera resolution, the long battery life and features but this is my second home base gone bad and past the warranty period.
I'd recommend Eufy. Their cameras connect to the base station, which connects to your wifi. So get the base as close to the yard as possible and the cameras should connect to the base easier.
I have 4 blinks and I bought 2 of them back in 2019 . It was a package 2 camera system. After seeing your video I would of bought the eufy system. Now I'm stuck with 4 blink camera system
Bit steep on the price though is that how much these cameras are because I'd like to get it but 200 bucks for one camera i cant afford that people can teal my fire wood lol
No one doing video reviews seems to mention the trigger distance for camera activation by motion sensor. This is a very critical feature of these cameras that is not discussed. Approaching the camera is not the same as walking away from the camera. Someone could break into my car in my driveway and nothing would be recorded because the cameras' motion sensor was not triggered due to the activity being out of range, an important detail in my opinion.
Great comparisons, Steve! I don't know if Arlo got better, but when I was looking for wireless cameras, I was drawn to Arlo, but their audio quality and battery life were both garbage. The battery only lasted about 2 months and the audio sounded like those garbled fast food drive-thru speakers from the 90s -- all 4 cameras sounded like that; I sent them back and got something better. That was just my experience with Arlo, I hope others have had a better experience.
I was gonna write a big long review about the arlo .... but all you need to know is they aren't worth buying Longevity sucks you have a real luck of the draw on these cameras Audio is still poor and does stop working
@@hotjesssica954 I went with a Eufy ecosystem and I couldn't be happier. Battery life is great on the wireless cams and image quality and audio are good too. I haven't had any issues and usually don't have to recharge my cams for at least 6 months. I plan to get solar panels for them so hopefully, I won't have to recharge them ever.
I have Arlo and have had them for a few years without subscription.( it was before they came out with that must have crap) . But do you or anyone know why they don’t record at night into morning? Like 9-10pm -8am???? I’ve looked into troubleshooting and see lots of comments , etc , but does anyone know how to fix? Or am I just screwed? Someone posted they sold/changed customer service to India or something and they just tell them to reset but doesn’t work and then some say after firmware fix the problems arose … please help!!! 🙏🏽
Steer clear of Arlo. They often go offline (tested 2 different camera groups and base stations in two different locations on different networks) and they randomly require manual resetting (removing and reinserting the batteries) which occurred once when we were overseas, providing no security for almost 2 weeks!!
I bought a battery-powered wifi external camera, when the camera detects movement it starts recording for 30 seconds and stops recording, only to start again after that. Is that ok?
Mom owns Arlo...the local modem will not stay online. It could be the local internet, but it's useless for her. I have 10 blink cameras with 2 modem/modules locations in two different towns on one account. Warning: it records only ONE camera at a time. When there was a crime committed around the city view home cams, my Blink only recorded chicken movement on country view cams...we got no footage of crime on blink. Luckily we we testing another brand that was USB wired to a computer and was able to catch it that way.
Great videos and I’ve subscribed. I am looking for a multi camera system (indoors and outdoors) that has battery/powered/Poe options and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. I’m looking for continuous recording and playback for 14 days retention and it needs to have reliable motion detection that doesn’t constantly go off when the wind rustles a leaf past the camera. Are you able to advise on what ecosystems out there you would recommend ? I liked the Eufy but then no continuous record options, the arlo ultra 2 seems a good options but expensive overall when add in subscriptions per camera and subscriptions for continuous recording. I’ve also considered UniFi with a dream machine pro but really would love to hear your opinion.
Hi Steve, we have a Ring doorbell and alarm system. We removed all our old outdoor wired flood lights and old Amcrest (horrible) security cameras. So I am hardwired everywhere. I already have the Ring subscription. I have called Ring probably 6 x to discuss which camera/floodlights etc. They are not helpful. Your videos are great. I called Arlo- no customer service contact #. I called Eufy and never got through and left my number and no one ever called back. Even tho, no one seems very helpful at Ring, they have great customer service. Curios, do you think the hardwired Ring is better than the battery version? Are the batteries the same ones as in the doorbell ? thanks your videos are awesome!
I`m thinking I like the Eufy best. My dilemma is that I need a camera set behind my garage which will be out of wifi range and one in front that will be within wifi range. Any advice for me? Thanks for posting.
I suspect this is an HDR thing, but in the daytime, the sky had a nice blue gradient in all four cameras, but at dusk, the sky was completely white on the Arlo and Blink, a bit of blue on the Ring, and 50% white 50% blue on the Eufy. I realise the sky doesn't matter on a security camera, but could be an indication of camera quality when deciding between cameras.
I have nightowl but i'm starting to have a lot of problems with it. I live in an apartment complex so sound and picture is going to be a big thing for me. I really like arlo because it has a great picture and sound. Just one question, does arlo have 2 way audio?
onw ring spotlight for last 5 years, but have to say even my friends 10 years old camera system in house has crystal clear night vision were ring is useless at nite without lights
With eufy 2c pro it has 16 gig of memory. It said to come is the ability to add more. Are you able to expand the memory yet? I am trying to choose between eufy and reolink. Any REAL advise on those.
Good video, just wandering about the Batteries, how long do they last before recharging? Can you buy a power adapter for them? Arlo seem to be they way to go....
Got the blink had used them in the past when they didn’t barge you 3$ per camera and didn’t know that changed so that’s unfortunate but they’re solid. You should talk about what distance they activate by motion
Just an FYI, Steve. Blink local storage now allows you to view video clips on your cell phone. I'm grandfathered with Blink's free cloud storage, but helped a friend set up his Blink system and was surprised how fast his local storage clips opened remotely when we were out at Breakfast this week.

I'm still using the original Blink batteries. Their video quality is very good and I have a hard time seeing any meaningful difference in the 720P vs 1080P settings on my phone and on clips shared to my PC monitor. There only weak point for me was the night vision, but that was an easy fix by turning the night vision feature off and adding motion lights. Now I'm very pleased with their color night vision. The Blink set-up and app have been rock solid reliable and trouble-free (so much so that they are boring). Thanks for another fair and honest review. Keep up the good work.
This was the best demo of each system. Seeing how each one sounds and looks during different times of day. This is awesome. Thank you.
I would love google nest however you cant get a power source everywhere I need a camera.
I was going to get Blink but then my wife said she was looking onto Ring. Im glad I watched this because Im now going with Arlo.
I was choosing between a Ring and a Blink before watching this video. After that I decided to go with an Arlo 😂. Thank you for your in-depth review!!

What's the best batteries to get for them mine don't last a month I have Arlo
I have to commend your video, you are extremely organized and detailed. Thank you for this, excellent job!!!

Thanks for the info man. I’m planning to buy some of this, Eufy is looking great so far.
THISSSS is what we need in reviews. Excellent. I have the Wyse camera outside of my business but the sound quality is awful. Arlo looks like a winner.
Doesn't the blink have coloured night vision now with the floodlight extension?
They're also releasing a hard-wired floodlight which apparently has better quality and motion detection
I'd like a eufy but the field of view is very narrow. The swann wire free has 180deg view but is £280 for 2 cam
I've heard you have to have some type of an Apple product like Apple TV or an iPad with apple icloud storage in order to utilize the full capabilities of the eufy, is there any truth to that?
Very nice video. I know you didn't want to compare the Arlo Ultra to the other cameras due to the differences in resolution but it would of been nice to see the Ultra get some shine in the comparison test being that it is a battery powered camera.
You’re not the first to mention this. I’ll work on another video showing the best of the best from my collection of cameras. :)
@@SteveDOES Thank you man. The Ultra is a pretty good camera that tends to not get the shine due to it's high price point but at the moment I can't find another battery powered camera that's on its level.
@@SteveDOES So, it's 7 months later. Did you do another video showing the best of the best?
I just got the bling camera system and didn’t get the subscription, and you can view and delete from your mobile app the usb drive .

Are you sure you have to unplug the blink USB to view footage? Does not correspond with other reviews, looks like it is viewable on the app.
Thank you for making this video it was very helpful in deciding which security camera to choose.
OMG !!! The video is very useful and having fully review of each company brand. I will like this video and subscribe you, Steve.
Hi do you know how to install Premier smart wifi outdoor security camera
This content is gold
Good video Steve, thanks. I'm little surprised that Reolink didn't make the cut.
Which top 3 cameras have the best motion sensor reaction time?
Thank you so much for doing this, it's the best review of these cameras I've seen. One question, I saw you demonstrate the cameras at night, one was in black and white and the other wasn't, so I take that you have the option to either use the spotlight on the Arlo camera or not?

Hi which exact camera arlo did you have when demonstrating this video plz Let me know
Eufy,was much sharper in the night vision mode of distance objects, like the house and the tree. Clear winner on sharpness, IMO.
I appreciate this video! Thank you for helping me narrow down my choice to Eufy.
I have 4 blinks and I bought 2 of them back in 2019 . It was a package 2 camera system.
After seeing your video I would of bought the eufy system. Now I'm stuck with 4 blink camera system
Can you recommend reliable solar powered WiFi outdoor security cameras ? Thanks.
OMG THAT IS WHAT IM LOOKING FOR TOO...DID U FIND ONE YET????
I like the Arlo . I have had it for 3 years. I would like to upgrade them.
They really do make a good product.
Bit steep on the price though is that how much these cameras are because I'd like to get it but 200 bucks for one camera i cant afford that people can teal my fire wood lol
Your video was very detailed, helpful in making a choice. Thank you !
No one doing video reviews seems to mention the trigger distance for camera activation by motion sensor. This is a very critical feature of these cameras that is not discussed. Approaching the camera is not the same as walking away from the camera. Someone could break into my car in my driveway and nothing would be recorded because the cameras' motion sensor was not triggered due to the activity being out of range, an important detail in my opinion.
If you were to spend the least amount of money for the best quality for 3-4 cameras what would you spend your money on?
Your demonstration was useful, helpful and very much appreciated. Thank you!
Great comparisons, Steve!
I don't know if Arlo got better, but when I was looking for wireless cameras, I was drawn to Arlo, but their audio quality and battery life were both garbage. The battery only lasted about 2 months and the audio sounded like those garbled fast food drive-thru speakers from the 90s -- all 4 cameras sounded like that; I sent them back and got something better. That was just my experience with Arlo, I hope others have had a better experience.
I was gonna write a big long review about the arlo .... but all you need to know is they aren't worth buying
Longevity sucks you have a real luck of the draw on these cameras
Audio is still poor and does stop working
What did u get that is better. ????
@@hotjesssica954 I went with a Eufy ecosystem and I couldn't be happier. Battery life is great on the wireless cams and image quality and audio are good too. I haven't had any issues and usually don't have to recharge my cams for at least 6 months. I plan to get solar panels for them so hopefully, I won't have to recharge them ever.
I would like to see a comparison using Rings spotlight camera rather than the low level Stick Up camera… it would be a more even comparison.
Wow awesome camera comparison thanks so much.
I saw a lot of reviews complaining that eufy doesn't respond fast enough or doesn't respond at all. There was a Lot of complaints. Anyone know more?
Like your comparisons. Wouldn’t mind trying the eufy.
I have Arlo and have had them for a few years without subscription.( it was before they came out with that must have crap) . But do you or anyone know why they don’t record at night into morning? Like 9-10pm -8am???? I’ve looked into troubleshooting and see lots of comments , etc , but does anyone know how to fix? Or am I just screwed? Someone posted they sold/changed customer service to India or something and they just tell them to reset but doesn’t work and then some say after firmware fix the problems arose … please help!!! 🙏🏽
@Steve Does the hard drive on the Eufy have a hdmi port to be able to hook it up to a t.v. or monitor?
Loved the Arlo cameras despite having to pay for a subscription. Eufy has a bigger range of security devices though.
What’s the battery life like? How often are the batteries changed or charged?
Very professinal and informative review. Thank you for putting together!
Steer clear of Arlo. They often go offline (tested 2 different camera groups and base stations in two different locations on different networks) and they randomly require manual resetting (removing and reinserting the batteries) which occurred once when we were overseas, providing no security for almost 2 weeks!!
Hi does the arlo app allow you to view the thumbnails if you have the subsciption, as oppose to clicking to download them?
How do you rate the EZVIZ BC1? I hear they are better than Ring & Eufy
I bought a battery-powered wifi external camera, when the camera detects movement it starts recording for 30 seconds and stops recording, only to start again after that. Is that ok?
Mom owns Arlo...the local modem will not stay online. It could be the local internet, but it's useless for her. I have 10 blink cameras with 2 modem/modules locations in two different towns on one account. Warning: it records only ONE camera at a time. When there was a crime committed around the city view home cams, my Blink only recorded chicken movement on country view cams...we got no footage of crime on blink. Luckily we we testing another brand that was USB wired to a computer and was able to catch it that way.
Thanks for this. I just ordered the SOLAR POWERED Eufy SoloCam S40.
Great videos and I’ve subscribed. I am looking for a multi camera system (indoors and outdoors) that has battery/powered/Poe options and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. I’m looking for continuous recording and playback for 14 days retention and it needs to have reliable motion detection that doesn’t constantly go off when the wind rustles a leaf past the camera. Are you able to advise on what ecosystems out there you would recommend ? I liked the Eufy but then no continuous record options, the arlo ultra 2 seems a good options but expensive overall when add in subscriptions per camera and subscriptions for continuous recording. I’ve also considered UniFi with a dream machine pro but really would love to hear your opinion.
Hi Steve, we have a Ring doorbell and alarm system. We removed all our old outdoor wired flood lights and old Amcrest (horrible) security cameras. So I am hardwired everywhere. I already have the Ring subscription. I have called Ring probably 6 x to discuss which camera/floodlights etc. They are not helpful. Your videos are great. I called Arlo- no customer service contact #. I called Eufy and never got through and left my number and no one ever called back. Even tho, no one seems very helpful at Ring, they have great customer service. Curios, do you think the hardwired Ring is better than the battery version? Are the batteries the same ones as in the doorbell ? thanks your videos are awesome!
I`m thinking I like the Eufy best. My dilemma is that I need a camera set behind my garage which will be out of wifi range and one in front that will be within wifi range. Any advice for me? Thanks for posting.
What a fantastic comparison. Thanks very much for it.
I suspect this is an HDR thing, but in the daytime, the sky had a nice blue gradient in all four cameras, but at dusk, the sky was completely white on the Arlo and Blink, a bit of blue on the Ring, and 50% white 50% blue on the Eufy. I realise the sky doesn't matter on a security camera, but could be an indication of camera quality when deciding between cameras.
I have nightowl but i'm starting to have a lot of problems with it. I live in an apartment complex so sound and picture is going to be a big thing for me. I really like arlo because it has a great picture and sound. Just one question, does arlo have 2 way audio?
Well I was leaning towards blink or ring but looks like Eufy for me.
Nice video the Arlow took the 1st place 😁👍
What model is the Eufy?
onw ring spotlight for last 5 years, but have to say even my friends 10 years old camera system in house has crystal clear night vision were ring is useless at nite without lights
Absolutely amazing video very well done I can not thank you enough
Thank you for the hard work!
With eufy 2c pro it has 16 gig of memory. It said to come is the ability to add more. Are you able to expand the memory yet? I am trying to choose between eufy and reolink. Any REAL advise on those.
Your Blink camera is not recording sound as well as any blink camera I have heard. My Blink has is much louder.
Can any of these save recordings to a NVR on a home NAS?
I like Blink T2 it works great. Just wish the batteries would last longer. Otherwise it helped me with a claim having footage. 👍⭐️
Good video, just wandering about the Batteries, how long do they last before recharging? Can you buy a power adapter for them? Arlo seem to be they way to go....
Arlo was really good. 😮
Got the blink had used them in the past when they didn’t barge you 3$ per camera and didn’t know that changed so that’s unfortunate but they’re solid. You should talk about what distance they activate by motion
Thanks bro... really helpful 👌🏽
