PROS: 1.) Active noise reduction 2.) Alternates the sound every 5 seconds between the two cameras and you can see both babies at the same time 3.) If the power goes out the camera has a built in rechargeable battery, so you can still see baby 4.) 24/7 recording (for this feature I believe you have to have a c10 micro SD card (max 128gb) installed into the camera. I have ordered a sandisk extreme C10 128gb for my camera) 5.) Comes with a crib mount 6.) Sound alerts to our phones , option to use critical alert option so it bypasses silent and DND modes on your iphone7.) 4K HD 8.) Camera has a built in battery, if power goes out you can still see baby 9.) night vision10.) Cameras LED light auto turns off in the dark 11.) Works with wifi and non wifi, so no problem if power goes out & since camera has built in battery 12.) 2 cameras and monitor bundle on Amazon is currently $359. 13.) User manual states you can connect up to 4 cameras to this monitor as well, however I’m not sure how many the split screen option shows at once. 14.) App access to view cameras from phone CONS of Eufy E21: 1.) From the reviews, it appears they are working out some kinks with the sound and other reported glitches 2.) Users have noted that the monitor doesn't play an active noise/alarm when monitor is dying or when/if camera disconnects, so you could possibly sleep through not being able to see or hear babies through the night without that alarm feature. 3.) Users have noted when you switch the wifi off, it doesn’t actually disconnect. Users have noted that Eufy support has said they are working on an update to this as well. 4.) I do not believe there is a floor stand. Not sure if pro or con of Eufy E21: 1.) User stated as a pro, but I see it as a con, monitor unit does not have a kickstand. However, it does have a charging base for it to sit upright on.I am also not sure if the Eufy requires a monthly subscription to use the app. I will provide updates when I receive the unit (set to arrive tomorrow) and begin playing with the app and setup.UPDATES AFTER INSTALL USING FOR 2 WEEKS:Monitor does not need a kickstand as it has a large base to support itself.Night vision appears as good as my infant optics.Active noise reduction isn’t great. My infant optics completely erases the sound of the noise machine, and I can hear baby clear as day. However, with Eufy, I can’t really hear the baby over the noise machine. I only really know he’s making noise when the app alerts me.The camera records noise alerts, so you know what baby was crying about. Love that!No subscription seems to be needed.I have not had any camera disconnection issues.

Amazing I was looking into baby monitors for my baby since I was moving houses and wasn't sure how the new baby sitter would be doing and how my daughter would be dealing with the change. So I looked into a baby monitor with both the physical screen and app so I can watch her from home and so the baby sitter can watch her as well. I haven't had issues with it connecting to the wifi since ive gotten it. The plus to it is you don't need wifi😅 you do need it for the app though. The sound quality is also good as you can hear almost anything and it has adjustable volumes so you can higher the volume or lower it to your liking. It's pretty simple to function as it has the user manual. The picture quality is AMAZINGGGG this is the main reason I bought it. THE FACT THAT I CAN SEE MY BABY BREATHINGG!!! I solely love it for that reason the camera quality is amazing.

Super easy to set up and straight forward functions. No BS extra app subscriptions or extra services you need to subscribe to. It operates on 2.4ghz wifi but I had no issues joining my dual band network. I tried a hubble baby monitor and it was forcing me to separate the wifi bands - Eufy has done it right! Parent company Anker’s strong reputation in the tech world is shining through here.Easy to mount & I love that the camera can be removed and run off of battery. It’s also really nice to have the wifi and non-wifi options to switch between. The monitor is lightweight and has a wider base so no need for a kick stand. The charging base is also super luxe and convenient to use. So far so good!

Pros- Monitor is great. It has a large display that allows you to see split cameras very well. The charging stand is awesome and much easier to use than plugging in the cord each night. It keeps the monitor upright on my nightstand nicely.- Camera/video quality is lovely, as expected.- Remote access via the app has worked well for us even while using phone data.- We have a 2 story home plus a basement and have no issues with connection. We have high speed internet with a mesh system. You probably need good WiFi to have a strong and steady connection.- No monthly fees! You get both the monitor and app access included. Love that.- Includes white noise options.- You can speak through the camera monitor or the app.- We haven’t travelled yet but I think the camera will be really convenient for travel.Cons- The sound on the monitor and app seems low compared to other cameras I’ve used. Fine for a baby in a crib close to the camera, but for a toddler who moves around, I find it hard to hear them clearly when farther away from the camera.- The included mounting options are pretty basic and low quality. The crib mount was hard to adjust and feels top heavy with the camera. Also so much loose wiring! Same with the wall mount, that’s all you get. You will have to purchase additional items to hide wires away and the included charging cord probably won’t be long enough so you will need an extension. Comparing to something like Nanit - which includes ready to go out of the box solutions with cord management - you will have to do a lot more work and purchase additional parts.- You also will need to purchase SD cards and the additional camera for split screen if needed. Things start getting pricey fast.- The box packaging literally shows the app with 2 cameras in a single view, but that isn’t the case. Each child is its own page that you have to swipe through and manually open up the camera to view. Wish you could get a live view right away in each page OR see both cameras on one page.- In app I get alerts with my child’s name but on the monitor I can’t add a name so it’s just camera 1 or camera 2. Wish I could name the cameras on the monitor or they would sync up.Overall, I’m happy with the camera. I wanted a high quality, dual camera system with the ability to use a split screen monitor with remote app access - without a monthly fee and this achieves that! You have to put in some extra work compared to other high end systems and there are some things that feel a little unrefined but hopefully Eufy can update the system and improve it even more.
