  • The EufyCam 2 Pro is one of the best security cameras that I have tested. It has a really good video quality and the colors look good. It has night vision that looks good and you can also use it in color mode at night and as long as you have some decent lighting it looks good. The best part is there is no subscription!

    The eufycam 2 pro is super easy to install and get it going. This is great if you are constantly moving. There is no need to run ethernet cables and power cables. It is all wireless and it works great. This claims to have a battery life of up to 365 days. In the video, I showed that it has been active for 31 days with 86% left but now it is down to 83% battery after 44 days so that gives me an estimated battery life of about 260 days or about 8 months and 18 days which is still impressive. The battery will vary depending on how much activity you got going around your home and how you configure your security camera. The camera wakes up every time it senses motion and you can adjust the sensitivity. The eufycam 2 pro can also detect humans from animals and cars so it can let you know when a person is near your house and filter out the other motions to reduce the notification sent to your phone.
    The user interface is straightforward to use. I do wish that you can see the live view of two or more cameras side by side. That would be cool, but for now, you can only view one at a time.

    Really concise, informative video. I was really impressed by the EufyCam 2 Pro in terms of the recording quality, speed and functionality of the app. I was also very impressed by the customer support provided when I had a query when setting-up the cameras. Unfortunately, even when set to maximum sensitivity the camera range is limited (25'-30'). This probably won't be a problem for most users who want to cover their porch, backyard or the parking space in front of their home. I needed to cover a larger space in front of my home and also an access lane to the property but the cameras just wouldn't detect movement over that distance. A great product and I would loved to have kept them but regrettably I had to return them.

    Nice review!
    Is there any way to set up a schedule for the cameras - which also will save batterylife? I only want the cameras to be active during night (and not getting triggered when I'm outside during the days). I couldn't see anything about schedule in your review. It's kind of a dealbreaker for me. :)

    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?

    I was looking for an outdoor camera to keep an eye on my dogs in the yard when I'm not home. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe Tried a different one that was absolutely terrible, so I got these instead. They work perfectly! With 3 of these cameras I can see every corner of the yard, and they were very easy to set up. The best part is I only get the footage I want to see, not hours of videos of the bird feeder swaying in the breeze.

  • @TheEthNick
    @TheEthNick Рік тому

    Thanks for the overview.
    With the adjustable detection area (that rectangular area), what distance away from camera can you place it to detect movement? I ask because one of the cameras I plan to install will be mounted to watch along the back wall of the house & the back door will be roughly 10m & the side gate will be 15m.
    Also, those of us with iPhones will be paying for the 2K functionality but unable to utilise it correct, since 1080p is the maximum supported resolution? But is this only within the HomeKit App? Will we still have 2K footage within the Eufy App?

      I have the 1080p version, Cam 2. It will record in night vision (IR black & white) with no or a little light. If you have a bright spotlight or floodlight, then is will record in color at night. Color also during the day.

    Hello, congratulations for your great video. I just have one question, I am considering purchasing these cameras but I am looking for cameras that would be compatible with the blue iris software, a software that allows you to manage all your cameras together. Do you have any idea if that would be possible ? Blue Iris requires the ip address of the cam, and it's ID and password. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Besides being plugged in to a power outlet, Does the Homebase need to be connected to an Ethernet cable at all times, or can it just use wifi?

    • @ghtechreview
      @ghtechreview  2 роки тому

      The Homebase can be connected to WiFi. I used the Ethernet cable since that provides the strongest signal, but WiFi is just as good.

    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.

      The cameras will no longer record because the homebase and your home internet will most likely be down so it won't be able to save your video to the homebase due to the power loss.

      I ended up biting the bullet and buying 2 x EufyCam 2 Pro 2K cameras and the EufyCam 2K doorbell.
      A couple of cons already with the cameras.
      Movement needs to happen within 8m of the camera for it to start recording (not good for looking down a driveway toward a gate).
      The motion detection zone adjustment on the camera only allows for a box area to be selected (whereas with the doorbell you can actually 'draw' a custom shape to mark the detection zone).
      This being said, overall happy for a first set up. Easy to install being wireless.
