eufyCam 2C Wireless Home Security Add-on Camera, Requires HomeBase 2, 180-Day Battery Life, HD 1080p, No Monthly Fee

I had already installed a hub and two cameras for outdoor surveillance and decided I needed a third camera. The eufyCam 2C is a good value camera and is easy to install. It does not require any hard wiring. The camera picture is crystal clear and battery life is about 6 months. Recharging is easy, you just use a lead and plug it into the hub for a few hours. This is a great system and installation instructions are easy to follow.

I have used a Eufy system for 3 years now, 3 cameras and a doorbell, and for a subscription free service they have worked great. The 2C cameras have a good image, I have no problem recognising people who trigger the camera despite them being mounted high on my house, night vision works really great, movement detection has good adjustments so you won't get notifications at every movement. The system is easy to set up, connecting additional cameras is quick and trouble free. Battery life is surprisingly good despite my cameras being activated a few times a day. The spotlight function is reasonable in dark areas and being able to speak through individual cameras is useful. There are plenty of customisation settings to tailor your security needs and ensure you only record the things you want to see. The downsides, the app can sometimes be sluggish to use although they seem to update it frequently. Notifications on my phone when away from home can take a few minutes to come through (this may be down to my phone rather than the Eufy system). And one camera has a slightly shorter battery life than the other cameras, hence the purchase of this as a replacement, although I find this acceptable after a full 3 years of use. The camera still works fine other than needing charging more frequently than the others.

I bought 2 EufyCam 2s (a bundle with the relevant Homebase) and an additional EufyCam 2C. I initially had an issue with the 2C in that it was intermittently glitching and, after I'd eliminated connection, positioning and interference issues, I contacted Eufy. The customer service I received from their Support Team was excellent and very prompt (this was the second time I contacted them on unrelated matters and both times the customer service was flawless). They really did go the extra mile, despite the Coronavirus lockdown, to ensure that I received a replacement immediately and I am pleased to say that all cameras are now up and running and everything is working well so far. The set up was extremely easy, and so far I am very pleased with the movement responses and pictures of all of the cameras. I did have to do some initial tweaks to the postions of the cameras to eliminate some bokeh to the picture at night but this was easily remedied by angling the camera down and away from the soffit slightly (I think it was caused by the LED bouncing off the soffit). I think Eufy is relatively new but they do seem to be making regular updates to the app to include new features as well as improving performance. I've only just scratched the surface with using the features within the app and haven't been using it for long, but it seems easy to use and intuitive. Features in the app include a smart detection feature which mentions human detection, facial detection, facial recognition, pet detection and crying detection - I haven't explored these yet so can't comment in detail except to say that I have one of the cameras set on the highest sensitivity setting and, as well as capturing all human, vehicle and other big movement, it has captured an inquisitive bee and tree sparrow that flew near the camera, and a pine marten(!) and a cat (both at night) that passed the camera at ground level about 20ft away. A close up screen shot of the face of a human visitor is included with the relevant footage, although the faces can be a bit blurry. The geofencing feature is useful as you can draw the areas you want to monitor (so, for example, I've drawn an area that excludes the bit around the outlet to my boiler otherwise the movement of the steam sets the camera off, and I've also excluded a couple of bushes that move when it's windy otherwise they set it off). Everything that is captured can be stored on the homebase rather than in the cloud so there is no need for extra cloud subscriptions if you don't want them (although it looks like that option is also on there if you want it). There are various alarm settings to choose from (home, away, disarmed, geofencing, schedule and you can also create a custom one). There's also a snooze feature which is very useful if the cameras are armed but you need to pop past the camera for a short time (perhaps useful if you have forgotten to let the dog out or put the bin out and don't want to mess around with changing the alarm settings). Alexa integration is basic and in beta at the moment (there's also Google Assistant and Homekit integration but I can't comment on those as I don't use them) so I look forward to more Alexa/IFTTT integration features in the future. For example, I'd like Alexa to tell me that a camera has been triggered (at the moment I can only get a notification chime which I keep missing) and I'd also like to be able to arm and disarm by voice so that I don't have to mess around in the app when I'm going out the door with an armful of stuff. I'm sure this will come later (especially as it was advertised on earlier packaging and docs) and this would make the whole thing perfect for my needs. So overall, I'm extremely pleased with the kit (more Alexa/IFTTT integration would make it perfect), and given my previous experience of their Support Team I am completely confident that if I have another query or issue it will be sorted promptly and efficiently. We need more companies like this one who take customer service really seriously and don't just sell a product and run.

I have a simple system with 2 of these cameras and a Homebase unit. All was fine for many months, until one of the cameras developed a fault. I emailed the support desk, and initially was pleasantly surprised how quickly I got a response. I should have been suspicious ... After lots of time and wasted emails back and forth, it turned out I was talking to an AI support system, which didn't understand the problem and left me increasingly frustrated. I'd avoid this company until they sort out their customer support. Update: I got a contact from human Customer Support after posting the above review, and offered a full refund. So maybe things are improving again ...

Great little outdoor camera This camera provides a very clear image during the day and night, considering its only 1080p resolution. The motion detection for person and vehicle is amazing and has very few false recognitions. The lights on it while not immensely bright are enough to light up a person and provide ambient light. We use it to give some light on the driveway when reversing up the drive at night. The sound quality is good and picks up quiet noises o As well. The speak is enough to make your voice heard and is clear. Overall an amazingittle camera at a very reasonable price to add to your security.

We have a number of these dotted around our property. Easy to use and install and recharge when in use. The system it is attached to works well on an app on your phone. You get audio as well as visual recordings, with notifications if needed. There is also a feature on the app and device to speak through the camera whilst in use. This is an easy surveillance system to use, with no additional costs other than charging. No need to wire, just charge off mains before installation, which is a simple drilled hole to attached to your desired spot. The camera head pivots which enables the user to modify its position once installed, this is by hand only, not remote once installed place. Great buy.

Wir haben dieses Kamerasystem schon sehr lange und haben nach und nach un weitere Kameras ergänzt. Vorteil: Einfache Bedienung, lange Akkulaufzeit, kostenlose App, einfach Inbetriebnahme und Montage, Zuverlässigkeit. Mittlerweile haben auch Nachbarn und die Familie mit Eufy aufgerüstet und alle sind glücklich damit! Preis-/Leistung stimmt ebenso! Ich kann Eufy bedenkenlos empfehlen insofern man guten WLan hat! Tolles Produkt!

Con esta tengo 6 instaladas, muy buenas, jardín protegido. Fáciles de instalar, buena visión.

المنتج جداً ممتاز وانصح به لداخل المنزل التصوير واضح بالصوت والصورة . وبه تصوير ليلي . التصوير يغطي مساحة واسعة اذا اخترت زاوية جيدة بمكان الكاميرا . معه برنامج للجوال تقدر تشوف مباشر او تسجيل وتقدر تقدر تقرب الصور للمكان اللي تبغا. العيب الوحيد هو انك تحتاج ان تفك الكاميرا للشحن
