Mounting and installing the cameras was easy. Navigating round the various set up options was also quite easy.
The storage unit sits in our living room and as long as you have a good wifi signal to the cameras (ours are about max 10m from our wifi hub) function perfectly.
When looking at purchasing a security camera system, my main concerns were the reaction time and obviously picture quality. With this system the picture quality is pretty good (can’t show you any footage because of data protection), but good enough to identify people. The reaction time is ok. Because the area covered is several metres down the pavement, it tends to start recording when the object is about 5m away which works for us. Sometimes it records car movement even though I set it to human motion only.
What I did have to do is buy separate wire cages for about 30 to house the cameras in because I guess it would be possible for someone to have a swipe at them even though they are mounted 4m above the pavement level. I had to cut a section of the cages out so as not to obscure the image.
There is the daily task of deleting footage otherwise you can use up space on the storage unit. You do not need to subscribe to any cloud storage which is good.
If you want to you can get real time footage from anywhere straight from your phone, otherwise we rely on a schedule which is easily set up within the app.
Battery life before recharging was impressive at about 4 months. Charging took about 4/5 hours.
For us because we have good street lighting I can save battery life by turning off the cameras’ lights.
When the cameras are activated a red light flashes so I guess this acts as a deterrent in itself. This does not seem to be an option.
So to summarise, I give it 4 stars because as with all these systems reaction time and picture quality can never be good enough but we have not had any ‘incidences’ since installing them.
Easy you use app, simple to install & very reasonable cost. Our neighbour had this system & recommended it so we thought we’d give it a try. We haven’t been disappointed & have since bought one for another family member.
Great little cameras, easy set up and fitting. One issue no one has mentioned is that the Home base 2 only works on 2.4 hz Wi-Fi . I have sky hub and it runs 5hz and the Homebase will not pick it up so has to be hard wired all the time. Picture quality is pretty good for 2k but deteriorates a bit when zooming in on faces etc. Night vision is a bit shady as the cameras don’t always pick movement up over 5m away but good during the day. Does make no difference even if I adjust sensitivity. In all not bad for the money, got 80 voucher off from Amazon so pleased with that. Added a door bell, 2k version and we use home base as the chimer so pleased with that also.
Easy setup and installation, fairly quick alerts, motion detection could be quicker but this may improve on camera position adjustment.
On the positive, great kit, well made, set up easy, picture looks great, seems to work well as expected. Linked with google asssitant hub easily. Don’t know about long term, battery or charging yet.
On the installation part, just two niggles, the supplied screws are rubbish and the camera mount while sturdy only moves about 45.
Screws: I’ve shredded two lots of screws mounting the doorbell into wood with pre drilled holes! I now have the hassle of wanting to insert the angle plate and therefore needing to get these out. I would bin the supplied screws and use your own reliable ones! Seems a bit cheap in the grand scheme of things!
I want to fit each camera on a wall and look along that wall. The supplied mounts don’t allow this much adjustment, not even with just a cut out notch or anything. I’ve ordered a third party mount which allows 90 in all directions.
This purchase consisted of a hub and two cameras although you can add additional cameras if desired for approx 100-130 each (Nov 22).
Set up to get the cameras talking to the hub was pretty straightforward. The instructions for the app and creating/sharing an account didn’t feel so intuitive although you can search on line for more detail. Overall though it was reasonably easy to understand after a bit of use.
The reason why I haven’t marked the product as a 5 is due to night detection on infra red not being as brilliant in very low light. I managed to walk right past camera and an alert was not triggered (although WiFi might have dropped out at same time). However once I adjusted the angle of the camera it picked me up quicker on entering the field of vision. Personally It feels the spot light (which will reduce battery life quicker compared to infra red only) feels the better way to go for clarity of images. Cameras required charging for approx 4 hours prior to use – batteries pre-installed and its claimed should last several moths without recharging dependent entirely on activity.
Built in storage of 16Gb should provide approx 30 days depending on level of cameras/triggers. No way to add more local storage but can download individual clips to external storage such as phone or sign up for AWS cloud service.
Deleting videos saved by system easy to delete once familiar with app.
Speed of notification of camera being triggered was instantaneous while being within wi-fi range.
Fitting the brackets (supplied with screws and plugs) and attaching the cameras was very easy.
Overall nice set of kit so far.
Only criticism is the human recognition isn’t brilliant we get quite a few false alerts for cats or strong wind blowing shrubs which sets the camera off. Adjusting sensitivity helps but doesn’t eradicate problem.
Very easy to set up and get going.
The picture on my phone is very clear and easy to see. Motion detection works very well.
Highly recommended.
The cameras were really easy to install. The picture quality is clear and the human detection seems to work well. It has a light and an alarm to warn off intruders which is good. My only issue with it so far is the sound quality when you are speaking through your phone to the camera is shocking, it sounds like you’re playing a kazoo! Other than that it’s grea
These are brilliant, the battery isn’t as good as advertised if being used to its full potential but that is not an issue at all. The picture quality day and night is brilliant, simple and easy to set up. No subscription costs at all, so what you pay for is 24hr security for under 210. Only issue I have is it picks the dogs up whenever they go in and out of the garden but I’m sure they can easily but rectified if I looked into it but then I’d rather them be to sensitive than not pick anything up.
These cameras are brilliant. Gives us piece of mind when we are all ou
Really easy to install and the accompanying app is excellent even showing the state of the battery.
In daylight the images are good with reasonable detail even over a distance, night time the images are less so.
The built in microphone is very useful and clear for visitors were able to hear and understand our instructions.
The notifications to the phone are instant, and we were unaware of the level of activity in our small courtyard until we installed this system always movement, which is a positive for us as it acts as a deterrent to less welcome visitors.
Love the internal storage, which was the main selling point for us, why pay for expensive cloud storage when with good management it’s totally unnecessary.
Overall a high thumbs up from me, and so much cheaper than a professionally installed system.
Simple installation and set you, clear and concise hardware instructions. Intuitive app takes you everything with intuitive user interface. First impressions excellent, only time will tell.
After reading lots of reviews i chose the eufy because of the local storage rather than one that needs a payment plan. 2k recording is excellent in the day, motion detection is decent with only a couple of seconds delay before the image starts to record. Nigh vision without the spotlight is not amazing, but if you enable the spotlight, you capture a decent image. Lots if easy to follow tutorials and the app guides you through the setup process so you don’t have to be a tech guru to setup your devices. Mounting the cameras is simple if you can drill a hole and turn a screwdriver. Buy this product if you want a simple effective security camera that has top end features like face detection, activity zones 2k video and no subscription charges.
BEWARE will not record in 2K on apple HomeKit
I like these cameras , I like no wires or chargers to worry about.
mine have high traffic and last about 60 days but I think (I’m a bit OTT when recording)
mine are all set so I can reach from an upstairs window so no probs with recharging
good clear picture from my 3 x 2C and my 2C Pro I can see a clear number plate on recordings that is 35ft away when I zoom the pic.(the 2C can’t do at that distance).
I only have the 3 2C in my apple home kit otherwise I loose the 2K recording on the 2C Pro but its very easy to view all 4 from the EUFY app and setup the routines.
APPLE kit has the 3 2c in so I can quick glance at doors
ALEXA treats the cameras as motion devices which I have found useful, I also understand that you can view the cameras via an ALEXA “SHOW” device , I can’t vouch for this as I don’t have any SHOW devices.
As some kind person was leaving odd items at our front door – the last thing was a fairly new front light cluster for a VW car of some type – I though I’d get these to see who it was so I could thank them. So far nothing has turned up. 🙂 They did video some children around our cars at 2:45 am one morning so there….
They are easy to set up, charge first then link to the controller, the instruction manual is very good.
I used steps to screw the bases for the cameras to the wall at a decent hight so someone would not be able to pull them down. I’ve set my cameras either side of our small drive way and they cover the whole area nicely. You can set separate privacy zones for each camera using the downloadable app. They are ok but because they are variation on a square it’s difficult to cover a precise area. It would be much better if they could be made into odd shapes rather than just a square.
The cameras are excellent, or at least the video from them is. Really good colour in daylight and B&W at night. The night alert can either use IR, white light or both. I use IR only and find the pic excellent. You can use them to view what is going on at anytime, you don’t need to wait for an alert.
The cameras have a speech function as well, you should have seen the postman jump when I told him where to leave a parcel one time when we were not at home.
The cameras ping your phone when they activate which can get a bit annoying if Sainsburys are delivering or you have lots of guests – each alert videos a segment at whatever length you have set it too – but you can turn them off within the app.
The app is very straightforward to used for all camera functions. EUFY quote 180 days between battery charges but this will depend on how active the cameras are, I get about 130 days. To charge they really need to be taken down and contacted to the controller I find as they take some hours to recharge.
No monthly charge and overall a really good bit of kit, recommended.
It’s a great setup and it works fantastically. Easy and simple to set up as well.
These are great cameras. Connected the Homebase 2 direct to a TP-link because I have thick walls and they work great along side a great app. Not sure about the the battery life but on current draw it won’t be far off 180 days. Will probably add more cameras but will probably have to buy another Hombase station.
I installed this camera system to monitor some external construction work and scaffolding just outside our windows. Despite all the cars and movements in the background street, the camera is super smart and was able to send notifications only when people where on the scaffolding. Night vision and quality is excellent, even with distance. Strongly recommend this produc
Cheap, reliable home security. App really easy to use. Battery life really good.
We’ve had a home cctv system for a number of years that had become outdated and the security company wanted at least 3k to replace it hence me searching for a cheaper and more reliable system. I did extensive research and Eufy cameras seemed to be the best. I have to say I’ve been very impressed with the whole set up. The cameras have great field of view which meant I didn’t need as many and the images are HD quality. The homebase can be programmed to certain hours of the day or week so that the system doesn’t keep triggering which is useful. When triggered, the cameras will make an audible alarm and, if at night, will switch on a light. I charged the cameras when I first received them and I’ve only just needed to charge them which is almost 2 months later and they’ve triggered a lot so battery life is great. To watch the cameras or review any recorded clips you need to download the app which is very easy to use. The only negative is that there can sometimes be a delay between a camera triggering and the app on your phone alerting you but that’s not a show stopped for me, I think you need to expect that from any phone app based cctv system.
Overall I’m really happy with this system, it’s better than our previous home CCTV and was considerably cheaper, plus, you can add additional cameras if you ever need to.
The good: it can be set to only react to humans (although it’s not always but most of the time accurate); image quality is quite good, the interface of the app is easy to understand and use. Batteries are rechargable and last long enough that you don’t need to be up and down the ladder every month or two (at least in my case) to recharge the cameras. I would include here all the features of the cameras but it would take to long.
The bad: Reaction time – this is in the bad section even though I believe it’s one of the fastest reaction times one can get these days. It’s in the bad section because I can not feel completely confident that the system will catch the needed motion every time someone is passing through the field of view. Again, from what I read, it’s still one of the fastest systems on the market right now.
I spent a lot of time reading reviews before buying this set. The main concern was the reaction time from detecting the motion until it actually started recording video. This is also the only reason why I am only giving it 4 out of 5 stars. From the reviews I read, I believe it’s probably the quickest reaction time available right now (April 2022) for wireless CCTV that is not recording continuously. It’s still slow enough to sometimes miss the detected human. The delay is sometimes a bit over sometimes a bit under a second. That is still slow enough for a person walking fast through the field of view of the camera to be missed completely, especially if the person is very close to the camera as he/she can exit the field of view faster. As long as the recording doesn’t happen on the camera to then send the already recorded/buffered video as fast as possible once the wireless connection is reactivated so that it gets saved somewhere in the house or the cloud, as long as that process doesn’t get integrated in the actual physical camera, then (in my non-professional opinion) I do not believe anyone can expect any faster reaction time then these Eufy pro wi-fi cameras are offering.
I like how easy the system is managed over the internet and all the other features. This is the only system I have personally used until now and I decided on buying this one after extensive reading on the internet about quite a few other ones as well.
We purchased 2 cameras, a doorbell and base – not really sure what to expect but we’re very happy. The picture and sound are crystal clear on my phone, and the area covered is ideal for us. The doorbell is particularly good with a very good camera and two way communication.
Bought for front and rear security, no previous experience of home security cameras but this was very easy to set up with wi-fi, or if required wired. The app from my perspective works really well and allows motion to be turned on or off. The viewing area when placed at bedroom height is very wide, fortunately there is a means of blocking areas like neighbours gardens so that’s great. The clarity of the picture is really very good, and the night vision at the front (there is LED street lighting) again is fine. So right now I am very happy with this system and I would recommend if you need to keep the costs at a reasonable level. I think I will add a couple of cameras at ground level at some point but so fare so good and I am glad I bought this. One minor thing is that the inbuilt light is not that strong and tonight I will be checking how the darker back garden area is visible. Usually most things bought from China are pretty awful, but this seems to be an exception.
After some days, I can say the night vision is so far good, however there is an oddity. I enabled motion at the front of the hose and it picks up people leaving the house and walking away along the drive to the pavement. Fine. Trouble is weirdly, is does not pick up anyone who enters the short drive, until they are at the door, this is a problem.
Update, so far so good, bit slow on the pickup but generally I like the system and will consider adding to it if the price is right, and that’s the point really, the cameras are too expensive for what they are
These cameras are so under rated. My misses had big operation and we needed something for her being at home on her own recovering. After several options and prices declined to purchase these. So easy to set up and install. All done in 2 hours. They work a treat. No need to buy expensive systems when these are so good
The fact that you don’t have to have a contract was the big advantage for us. We bought this to replace an older system that we had to abandon because it was triggered by anything, including a spider web!
The Eufy camera isn’t triggered by animals, birds or spiders, so we are pleased with it so far. The software can be a bit temperamental to begin with until you get the hang of it, but once settled and programmed as you want it there are no major issues. You can turn the camera’s on or off when you are at home or away so they are not wasting battery power recording you as you move around outside. So far this is a pretty good system for the money.
Easy to set up, Great picture quality. Have just ordered another camera for my back garden. Would definitely recommend
Really high quality camera even comes in presentation box very like an iPhone. Easy set up did what it said. The camera mount is flexible would have been nice if it could flex a little more to achieve the angle I wanted but I’m getting more to add to the ones I bought. The geo setting is cool if you leave home with your phone it knows you’ve gone and turns on. No false detections so far on human detection setting.
I can not fault the image quality night or day. I also like the no fee local storage of the captured images. You can pay for in the cloud storage but I don’t want that. Battery life is good also and there is an option for a solar charger. I marked it down overall because of the software limitations.
The motion detection is better than the door bell, with far fewer false notifications. The delay in notification and speech also seems to be less.
There are two main problems with the software.
The first is privacy zones. You can only set rectangular areas which can not be rotated, so it is very difficult, if not impossible to block out an irregular area. This is even more important with the recent large damages claim by a neighbour suing for lack of privacy due to a security camera.
The second is the very crude modes for home and away. What is needed is to schedule within the home or away modes the settings for a particular camera(s). I would like to select a particular camera or group of cameras ( ie indoor cameras) and turn off motion detection when we are at home between certain hours. That is not possible, so I have to go in to each camera and disable detection for a pre set period of time. It’s a complete pain to do each day.
It would have been possible if the home mode or a custom mode or geofencing would allow the schedule as an option. I could then have a day and night schedule for when we are home and a static schedule when we are away. It would be even better if it was possible to create multiple schedules.
The other pain is that the door bell has its own system

I have Arlo cameras too, so I can compare. This product is definitely better. However, it still misses to capture some activity. So, its not a replacement for an always on camera.
Other than the motion detection not recognising my dog as a pet, so will start recording and send a notification through, these cameras are really good
This is a great addition to our home security. The 2k picture quality is very good, and is clearly better than normal HD quality. It is a shame if you choose to let Apple homekit take over and sense movement and store recordings then it is standard HD. (although I think that is an Apple limitation). I have found that it is a little bit slow on picking up movement, however the image quality once they have been picked up is good. SO far it has always picked up everyone.
We have a lot of activity near our front door so the battery is going down faster than I would have liked; so I have bought the solar power option and found that very useful. It is making some difference in the winter, we shall see how much charge it gets in the summer.
I also did a test and disconnected my router to the outside internet and tested to see if the remote cameras would store the video, and it did. So if the external internet goes down you still videos stored. However you will need your internet back to view the videos.
For the night vision I found additional flood lights the best although their own little light does a good job of lighting up and recording people.
I use these alongside the doorbell, I think you can have 3 cameras connected to one hub but don’t hold me to that statement. You can connect a usb drive to backup stores videos – but this is not done automatically which is a shame, just a firmware update for this would be great.
Image quality is good, and they have built in led’s if you’d like to use them also. Good battery life so far. A shame they can’t be wired like the doorbell but no big deal!
Only had the system a couple of days but so far so good. Installation is dead east and the app is easy to use and intuitive. It guides you through set up no problems. Cameras are small but cover a wide area as can be seen in the pic and picture quality is decent. (Taken in low light at 07.30 December) I’ve found that the spot light assists with night vision so have enabled that on two cameras in the darkest areas.
Motion detection is good and you can set up exclusion zones if your camera covers a neighbours drive for example. These work well. Sometimes there is a lag with detection but it’s only minor and when connected to wifi alerts come through straight away. No false alarms either which is great so the human spotting AI seems to work!
I really like the talk and alarm functions. The alarm you can have on the camera and the base station and its quite loud!
I was worried about the distance one camera is away from the base station as it’s a long way and there are some thick walls in the way but so far so good. There is an option to connect the base station via wifi which improves long range connection if this is an issue.
Only minor downside is the quality of the mounting brackets. They are quite small and it’s difficult to get the camera really tight on there but they seem to be holding.
I have other Anker products which is one of the reasons I went for this system. That and the no subscription! So far so good. Would recommend
Doing very well so far, installing was easy with sticker mounting guide. The two cameras and base station easily linked and went into operation immediately. Really a breeeze and recommended.
Most of the time these cameras are fantastic. However occasionally you will find they have not detected anything through the night. During one such time the cameras did not detect someone breaking into my car. I have no changes the settings so they are very sensitive to motion and record for the full minute instead of just 20 seconds. So far so good.
Arrived in very good time, well packaged – as good as Apple products. Easy to set up and alter settings. Good value and good performance.
Best i’ve seen about this kit is the cameras has a nice video quality and the app is very helpful and easy to use, only thing don’t know yet about it and didn’t try it is the range of those cameras how far can you place them away from uni
The cameras connect directly to the homebase on its own hidden network which then connects to your router either by ethernet or wifi depending on where you put it (you will need to connect the homebase via ethernet during setup only – and then can move it closer to where you want the cameras if the router is not in the ideal spot). The app on your phone which connects to your wifi is able to see the homebase and the devices connected to that homebase – where you can control the cameras, turning them on/off, looking at live feeds (this seems to disconnect randomly sometimes) etc.. Your router/wifi doesn’t need to be connected to the internet but will do if you want to view when out and about. As I have fairly decent insulation and internal brick walls, as soon as I take the cameras outside – the range of the homebase drops. So I can’t have these cameras positioned exactly where I would like on either side of the house… I think I will need another homebase which they don’t sell on their own at this time. Still better than messing around with drilling holes everywhere and feeding in long cables and then trying to hide them.
It’s a shame that the cameras can’t have the option to connect to the homebase via the home wifi as that would solve my problem.

The cameras don’t trigger as soon as you may wish, but the images in general are good, been happy with the cameras neither camera has last 6months of charge they have managed about 3 which isn’t a massive issue but definitely not 6 months as advertised. But I’d definitely recommend the cameras for the price poi
This was recommended to me by a friend and I am not disappointed! Such a neat and easy to use home security system. The two cameras I’m very clear with both night and day vision. The alert system is fantastic and the nighttime light together with speaking to the person at the door! Very easy to set up and that is from someone who isn’t that IT savvy! Would highly recommend. A great price for a great product.
I can understand why the reviews are mostly good. The whole kit feels like quality, the Homebase and cameras were easy to set up, the cameras themselves are discreetly smalland the daytime imagery is excellent. In fact, the issue has been that our BT Hub 4 is at the back of the house and wireless communication between it and the front garden camera is poor at best. Unfortunately, it means that this particular setup is not suitable in our case and I will reluctantly be returning it for refund.
Works really well, alarm pick-up is really good and the talk back facility works well.
Great picture quality even on phone, better than ones I am replacing fitted by pro.
Very simple to set up. Good pictures , work well with a base sand. But be aware if your interest stops so do the cameras
The software was a bit of a struggle but I got there. Picture quality is amazing compared to my old cameras and sharing clips is a cinch. Night vision is not the best I’ve seen. Alerts to iPhone good. Ability to zoom in unexpected but good. I haven’t tested alerts/ability to look at footage away from home but I expect it will be fine.
After a lengthy process of trying to find the right camera system to protect my home, I took the plunge and ordered these cameras, along with the 2K doorbell. I’m delighted with the result, I’m receiving clear, stable video with little to no disruption in streaming.
Previously I had purchased the Amazon blink system but grew tired of having to change the batteries way more frequently than was advertised, I’d also spent a significant of time with blink customer support and came to the conclusion that the blink system is just a bit rubbish. Right from the moment where you open the packaging, this feels like a premium product, though some of the English in the user manual isn’t quite right, but I’ll let this slide.
Setting up the devices is a clear and completely straightforward process, and before you know it you’re receiving clear (not quite 2K) video. A friend of mine has the 1080p equivalent and there is a significant difference between our two systems. I’m glad I spent a bit more money and got a 2Kish system. The app too is really good, there are lots of features that are genuinely useful, and actually work properly. A particular favourite is the human protection piece, I don’t really live in a heavy traffic area, however I really like how you can set the cameras to avoid cars and just focus on humans, it’s worked flawlessly! There’s also decent scheduling which is a big difference from the blink system, whilst you can’t set individual schedules for each camera you do have the option of a home and away setting, with different parameters in both which Is completely customisable.
In summary if you’re looking for a decent system that doesn’t cost the Earth, works as it should and is generally a good product then I’ll stop your search now purchase the eufy system
Pro’s
– Well packaged upon arrival
– Excellent build quality
– Very easy set up
– Excellent app (iPhone) with lots of useful features
– Good response time
– Clear picture quality (Day & Night)
– Good motion detection
Cons
– Not quite 2K quality
– Video download can be jumpy
– 180 day battery life
I liked the high spec and totally wireless with 6 months battery life. When it arrived, unfortunately 1 camera did not work but eUfy support replaced it easily and quickly, refunding my postage by return. The system has amazing flexibility and can be tweaked easily to meet ones needs.
Really pleased with the quality of the picture, plus night vision and so easy to install
They are discreet, and easy to put up and install. There wireless nature let’s you install in places you could not but other cameras. The pictures are excellent and most of the software is good. Their major weakness for me is they don’t trigger soon enough. In other words, the object that triggers them is halfway across your zone before they register.
Setup was a bit awkward, took a few goes to get the cameras to connect to base station.
2K quality for less than half the price of Arlo and no monthly fees is a great deal.
Notifications are instant (you may need to adjust power saving setting on your phone to prevent it blocking notifications) and gives you a picture of what has been spotted straight away.
Connecting to the cameras works well and is reasonably quick and reliable.
Night vision is good, especially with the colour night vision feature.
I don’t normally write reviews but for this wireless camera system I feel I must.
Firstly, the packaging is premium almost like apple products, well laid out and put together so it should be reflected in the quality of the product.
Easy to set up and get started, picture quality is outstanding and the app is pretty slick too, lots of customisable features and operating settings. Putting the cameras up was easy and the app helps you position them letting you know the wifi signal strength. All in all a decent little set up which can be expanded if required.
We’re really pleased with this product and would recommend it.
Brilliant wireless security camera and once you have the homebase you can add all the other Eufy products and view and store your footage in one place additionally all your cameras are in one place within the app. 5*****
Purchased these a few months after the Eufy battery doorbell and I am not disappointed. The whole system integrates well with the Homebase 2 and the app. I added two (third party) solar panels which keeps them fully charged so I don’t have to worry about settings and conserving power. I’ve also used one of the cameras as the motion sensor for the doorbell to increase the battery life on the doorbell too. Will also be adding motion and contact sensors to the system in the not too distant future.
Product is well designed and looks great. Appears good value, but I am finding notification of alerts to my phone are working erratically. Just seems to stop notifying for no reason then starts working again hours later. I have a BT Smart hub 2 so that may be an issue with the 2.4 ghz bandwidth – frustrating as real-time notifications of alerts are rather important in a home security system! All events are captured on the local hub but the notification side is flaky.
Update – I seem to have resolved the erratic notifications issue by turning off the battery optimisation option in Settings for the Eufy app on my Android phone. This does increasse the battery usage of the phone, but allows background activities such as notifications to continue uninterrupted.
Have therefore changed star rating from 3 to 4.
I’m really pleased with these cameras and did a lot of research prior to purchasing.
The attractions for me were;
– Wireless with long battery life, offering flexibility as to where the camera is located.
– AI detects humans or objects so it only records motion.
– No subscription is needed.
This seemed slightly different to other offerings on the market as it didn’t need a cloud subscription. I was coming to the end of my subscription for my current camera system so decided to look elsewhere. This camera system is so much better than what I had previously and I only get alerts when something is happening whereas previously I used to get notified of lots of birds and moths!
So far the battery life seems accurate and I’m sure I will get 6 months of use before needing to be recharged. The picture/video quality is excellent again.
Very pleased with the whole set up it works perfectly. Thank you.
Bought this system to replace a couple of old cheap wi-fi cameras that only took photo’s. Delivered on the same day of order, the packaging looked very smart, and once open, the components looked better than expected.
The main box is way smaller than I was expecting, that’s a good thing. The cameras were also smaller than I was expecting, which just makes them look smarter.
It took about 15 minutes to unpack and setup. Downloaded the app onto my phone and followed the instructions. The main box powers on and needs to connect to the router at first, easy to setup. Adding the devices was all done via scanning QR codes.
The camera settings are all simple to work out in the app, and everything up and working in a very short time.
The main box is approx 7 metres away from each of the cameras, the signal strength states good. Have switched off human detection for now – want to track delivery drivers and traffic in the close. General video quality is really good in tests so far. The zoom works well and is reasonably clear for faces.
Not sure why the milkman delivery early doors was not captured at all, but a lot of traffic caught during the day.
Only been running for a day, but impressed with the quality versus the price so far.
So, I’ve had this system just over a month, and I thought I’d update this review to reflect my current views.
To be honest, most of what I said originally still stands for me – this is a good system but not perfect. during usage I’ve noticed the following:
-Battery appears to be as good as promised, I’ve lost one notch of the four on my front camera, and my driveway camera is still showing as full charge
-I haven’t noticed any improvement on the delayed start, meaning that you do not get all movement captured. For example, if I exit via my back door and walk to my garage, the camera should capture me as soon as I step out of my house, but I’m often a few feet towards the garage before it starts to record
-I still notice that recordings stutter (although not a huge amount and this could be due to my broadband)
-The two way communication is great, in fact, we were out once when our postman tried to deliver a package, I had a nice conversation with him via the front camera, asking him to leave the package on my drive behind our bins (which he did) I also didn’t feel the need to rush home as the other camera was keeping a watchful eye on it
-We’ve had some bad weather (high winds and heavy rain) and this hasn’t affected the cameras at all – although I have also purchased covers (which I’ve also reviewed) so this may be the reason
ORIGINAL REVIEW
I conducted a lot of research before I decided to purchase this camera bundle, and my findings made me realise that no matter what system I looked at, there were always a large number of positive reviews with just enough really negative reviews to make me doubt whether I should proceed or not. It got to the point where I was going to give up, however, something about eufy appealed to me, so I took a chance.
To be honest, I’ve only owned the camera for two days, so it’s impossible for me to give a completely balanced review at this point, however, I will provide my initial thoughts and then revisit in a month or so to update.
Style:
Part of my reason for picking eufy, is I do find they make very attractive equipment – the design of the cameras is effortlessly stylish and even the packaging they came in (which is clearly Apple inspired) feels very premium.
Set-up:
This part really is easy, and it’s drawn in crayon within the eufy manual. There really is no getting it wrong, i.e. connect the ethernet between the base unit and your router; plug-in and switch on; download the eufy app and follow the instructions. Similarly, installing the cameras to an external wall was very easy (and I’m by no means a DIY expert). You’re supplied with a template that shows where to drill the holes and extra Rawlplugs and screws (just in case you mess up). I especially liked that it told me what size drill bit I should use.
Functionality:
Here is the part I will have to revisit in my update, however, my first impressions are really positive. The app is great, filled with lots of features to let you customise how you want the cameras to behave, and the picture quality from the cameras themselves is really good (which you’d expect with 2k). That being said, I do feel that an intruder could still be difficult to identify unless they come really close and look directly into the lens – it would have been good to have the ability to zoom in and retain crystal clear imagery, however, when I pinch to zoom on my iPhone things do get a little blocky. The quality is of course better when I transfer it over to my Mac, but it’s not perfect.
I do really like that you can set it up to just capture human movement or all movement. I have the camera that monitors my drive/garage to just capture people, whereas the camera that covers the front of my house is set to capture everything, so records vehicles as well. The downside is that the recording and notification system are not instantaneous – don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty fast, but I can easily walk onto my drive and get a few feet before it’ll start recording. This isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but a faster response could make all the difference in some scenarios. I haven’t tried the two-way communication yet (although no doubt I’ll soon be freaking the neighbours kids out when I see them on my driveway!) but I have noted that the sound quality from the speakers is quite good when listening.
Should you buy it:
Well, it all depends on your need. If you want a state of the art system that will capture and record every movement and provide detailed evidence should you be unfortunate enough to fall victim to criminal activity, then this may not be the system for you. If, like me, you’re just after a deterrent and some peace of mind when away from the home, then you can’t really go wrong with this package.
Summary:
I would currently split the advantages and disadvantages as follows:
Advantages:
-Easy to install, set-up and use
-Great quality picture (even at night) and lots of features to customise how you want each camera to work
-Easy to expand with additional cameras or the eufy doorbell
-No monthly or annual fees
-Great battery life (although I won’t know how true the 180 day claim is yet)
-Weatherproof
Disadvantages:
-Expected slightly better quality from the image given it’s 2k
-Sometimes stutters on recordings (this could be due to my internet speed though)
-Doesn’t capture movement instantly

I have replaced my security cameras with Eufy security system and I must admit I’m very impressed with the result. Still learning on how to adjust the sensitivity of motion detection and how to add “safe” peoples in the AI library system to prevent being alerted unnecessarily. Otherwise, great investment which has proven its efficiency and efficacy so far.
Really great system that alerts you to movements around the property and delivers video clips straight to mobile.
Storage is also handled with the home hub and it’s built in storage so no clips are lost and more importantly no monthly charge!
The delivery of the alerts are sometimes slow though, sometimes arriving minutes after the event.
The video quality and resolution is superb for home security.
All in all a great package.
Having had 2 previous wired systems one being a 5MP Swann camera system I thought I would give these a try, so as a test I brought this 2 camera system whilst on offer. This was because I was looking at extending my wired system but putting new cables in would be messy.
I needed complete flexibility so from the description on Amazon and other reviews these would give me what I needed.
Very decent looking equipment. Easy to set up and the picture quality is amazing on my iPhone X It’s far better than my 5MP camera system. Super clear and when zoomed in the picture stays sharp with no degradation of quality. I use the 16gb HomeBase unit storage. I do not use the cloud facility due to the ongoing cost. Tonnes of functions to fiddle with so able to have both IR black and white videos and nighttime colour too.
Set up was easy. I am lucky to have 380mps Wi-Fi so doesn’t struggle with connection at all.
The 2 units in the photos were put in the black cases purchased with a larger black mounting bracket too. I did this purely because the brickwork had six previous drilled holes with two previous cameras fitted. Because of the number of holes and the very small bracket that Eufy supply with the cameras I decided to have a larger mounting bracket which covered almost all of the holes up to make it look a bit tidier if not I would’ve left them as the white camera and the original small bracket.
Have purchased a further 9 different Eufy cameras including the wired door bell and 4 indoor pan and tilt cameras.
At the moment I have 6 cameras connected and working. One being 70 feet away from the router with no connection problems.
I have had a few problems with the wired doorbell only with false alarms and the motion zone. I’ve ended up not being able to resolve this so I have the settings saved where I receive more notifications than I should do, if not the camera doesn’t record all human activity. I have communicated by both email and phone with Eufy technical support. Emails are a little bit slow to be resolved however technical always seems to have someone to talk to with a 50-50 chance that the person is technical and not just picking up the phone to pass on the information to the back room as they call it. It’s still acceptable to use and gives fantastic videos and captures everything happening.
I’ve had the system now for almost a month and I am still very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone and will be possibly buying more cameras as it’s a fantastic system and very addictive

Great purchase , clear images only down fall all the notification you ge
Easy to set up and to fit but took a lot of messing about to get mention detection right and I’m still not 100% happy with motion detection. Video/picture 5 star. (4 star overall)..
We got this for security, I didn’t realise how busy the street is! We wanted to view cars and people at the edge of our property after some small thefts. We do charge them up though, the 6 month would be presumably if you recording very little.
Easy to set up in spite of pauses during registration process that makes you think it timed out on server. Persevere!! Has met all expectations well in terms of cost and performance so far. I would add other Eufy devices to the system Homebase if required in future.
So I’ve had this up and running for almost a month now. Initially I had a problem with one of the cameras not detecting movement and / or going off line. I contacted the support team twice by phone, they weren’t that great to be honest. However the support team via e-mail was very good. They offered to replace the faulty camera, but then it started working fine and so far has been ok. The camera have a good resolution, not sure the battery will last 180 days with the spotlight on, but it’s fine for my purposes. So much so I also brought the doorbell, which personally I think is better than the ring one. All in all I am pleased with this purchase. Just knocked the one star off due to the telephone support not really knowing what to do.
Small easy to set up nothing complicated about them been installed 3 weeks now with heavy traffic setting them off battery levels are at 85% from a full charge pic quality is good sound quality is a bit hit and miss but think that’s my fault as there quiet high up for the money there prob the best you will ge
Outstanding value, easy to set up, images very acceptable for the price point, app works seamlessly with lots of options and support. It’s one of those purchases that exceeds expectations.
I bought this so that I could have a camera at the front and back of the house, and it’s everything I wanted from a system like this. Certainly not the cheapest option out there but definitely not the most expensive either. I’ve tried the little stand alone wireless battery powered cameras and the overall experience wasn’t great for me.
I did opt for solar panels to keep these cameras charged up and they work well so I don’t need to worry about climbing a ladder every few weeks to charge these, so I don’t know how long they last in battery only mode, but my Eufy doorbell doesn’t last anywhere near as long as claimed (2 weeks max).
Video quality is pretty good, and the night vision is excellent. I can see all the way down to the end of my garden quite clearly which surprised me.
I don’t get many false detections so that’s a lot better than previous cameras.
Purchased this to replace the arlo ultra that we purchased and returned because it wasn’t much good. In comparison to the arlo this is really good. Easy set up and superb Wi-Fi connection. Recommend!
Very straightforward to install and the app is no problem to set up.
I was a bit dubious that battery charging would only need to be done approximately every 6 months, but these have been in place now for over a week and the indicators remain at full charge.
Excellent video quality. Impressive product.
he eufy cam 2c cam kit.
this cam kit arrived on time set it up ass advised in setup book
as been working for two weeks and is working ok
the only problem is the motion detection it saes it can detect the deferens bee twin
pets and human it cannot . but all sad and dun it works fine .
Bought this equipment over “Arco” equivelent as it works out about half the price for similar spec and to avoid subscription charges.
Pros:
* 2 megapixel cameras – important for detail when zooming in
* Night Vision shows good detail
* Huge battery life – 6 month life before recharge depending on usage (we’ll see in 6 months)
* No wires – uses wifi and long life batteries
Cons:
* Recorded footage is not viewable through the portal, so you’ll need an apple or android device
* Apparently footage held on the cloud is not viewable through the portal either and again you’ll need an apple or android device should you choose to subscribe to this. (This was told to me through Eufy Support)
Note:
* You need at least Android Version 7 or above to install and run the Eufy security app
* I imagine apple devices needs to be up to date too, However, I’m using an Apple iPhone 6S+ to run the Eufy security app with the latest apple operating system installed (just).
* you may want to tweak the motion detection, we have a wasp that loves closeup photo bombs of our camera.
Fabulous security system for the home owner who doesn’t want a wired system. I have now bought 2 lots of the Eufy 2c pro systems. I bought 2 sets because my house is large, very old and made with thick stone walls. I combine the outdoor battery operated cameras with several Eufy pan and tilt indoor cameras which are excellent value and work as intended. A couple of my indoor cameras are pointed out to the garden and are recording 24/7 onto a 64GB Sandisk memory card. Everything is well made, images are sharp. The phone app is brilliant too.
The only problem is that I’m playing with it all the time so I’m sure I’ll have to recharge the external camera batteries in a few weeks.
Top tip. The base stations can be used wirelessly once they have been set up. I locate mine near on the bedroom Window cills at the front and back of the house to get a better signal to the battery operated external cameras and powered indoor cameras in the nearby barns. Just brilliant.
Very easy to install and set-up. Motion detection is fine; took a little testing to get the level right but no issue. I think 180 days is a little optimistic on the battery life; maybe during lockdown but it certainly isn’t terrible. Charging doesn’t take too long and is very easy. Picture and sound quality is good, storage space isn’t a problem so far. I don’t foresee the need to extend the storage for my needs.
Integration with HomeKit is OK (sort of). I was hoping to be able to switch the cameras off from HomeKit so when I’m working in the garden my watch/phone aren’t constantly telling me there’s someone in the garden. You can turn them off, but you have to go into the Eufy app (i.e. can’t turn them off from my Apple Watch).
Generally pleased with the buy.
Best CCTV system I’ve installed. The clear 2k images are superb and much better than my previous Netvue camera system. The night colour mode is incredible.
I was initially a little unsure with a few negative reviews, however I’m delighted the system is now installed. It’s easy to setup, even a DIY novice like myself breezed through it.
The range from our rear outside camera to the upstairs home memory bank is incredible (much better than our home WiFi signal…despite TP link boosters). Having recently added a single story extension with lots of steel, I was worried this would interfere with the cameras signal to the Homebase…not a problem with this system.
I would definitely recommend this system to my friends and family.
Generally works well- took a couple of goes to pair cameras to hub.
Well designed but the camera supports do not allow cameras to be full tilted down.
There seems to be conflicts between Eufy’s app and HomeKit.
There are no instructions how to iron out conflicts between the two.
The quick start guide is just that and not very explanatory.
Equipment seems very well built and nicely designed.
Need a better explanation of motion activity areas and which app(HomeKit or Dufy) should be used.
Had a camera from one of Eufy’s competitors that kept loosing Wifi connection, but had zero issues with these cameras. Very easy to set-up and with no stupid subscription. Quality images and detection. Highly recommended.
Well I’m not a gadget thingy but I would say that this is a nice bit of kit, good quality good sound and a nice picture and all captured on a thumbnail video I would recommend give it a try and see the results I get…..
Great cctv security system, picture crisp with an integrated light which gives you a colour picture at night or set it to off and get a just as good picture in night mode.
Base station small and tidy can be hard wired to internet via plugging into the modem or move it closer to the cameras and it will be connected via your WiFi but als be used as a WiFi extender and strengthen the signal to the cameras.
The cameras have an alarm siren which can be set to go off upon any motion, and the base station also has an alarm siren.
So impressive I brought the door bell and replaced my Ring doorbell with it so I have everything on one app.
I would highly recommend this system to anyone.
Why is this better than a normal CCTV system? You get a Notification as soon as someone comes to the door or wherever you have a camera.
There are no subscription fees. Not clunky HD recorders or the need for a monitor.
There’s no cables. Battery life s really good. 2 sets of friends have purchased this system on the back of seeing mine in action. I love it.
The only downside I’ve found is when it’s really damp and foggy the camera lens at the back of the house can sometimes fog up. But it soon clears.
You do need to follow instructions in the app to make sure the app doesn’t get put to sleep by battery management so that you always get the notifications – but after that it works great.
We have this system and the doorbell and all give both me and wife (Two different android phones) almost instantaneous notifications.
I’d recommend it to anyone and have even installed another set at my workshop! Brilliant quality and price.
Eufy have now supplied a replacement power adapter and I now have the system up and running. I’ve changed my star rating now to reflect the product.
When I set up the system I found out that the power adapter supplied with the kit did not work and after trying in other appliances I confirmed that it was faulty. I sourced another adaptor temporarily to get set up and contacted Eufy directly. All I asked for was a replacement power adaptor as I am now unable to charge the cameras via the Homebase 2 but I found them difficult to talk to and their call person seemed to speak very little English. I now have to wait for an email to confirm if the UK warehouse has a spare??? On this experience I cannot recommend this product. The cameras are great but their customer service needs improving.
