TLDR; Superb wireless, no subscription, motion activated only (no 24/7 function) hassle free security cameras.

Installation – Really easy. Literally the hardest thing was opening the box! Handy mounting advice in the app, primarily about what height/ angle to fit etc.

Picture quality – Superb. In truth, I don’t notice a huge difference between 2k or 4k, however, 4k will allow you to zoom in 8 x rather than “just” x 4. Both day time & night time footage cannot be faulted. Some may quibble at the relatively low 15 frames per second limitation in order to not take up so much recording space, but the quality is still exceptional. Night time you have the choice of infrared/ black & white or colour by using the spotlight. Obviously the colour will use up more battery, personal preference, but I default to black & white & manually turn on the spotlight from the app if I want colour. As for the spotlight, you can set low, medium or high, at high I find it lights up a decent area to a decent degree. Obviously it is “just” a spotlight, not a floodlight (Aootek 2,500 lumens hard to fault if you need a floodlight).

Motion Detection – Excellent. We have 3 cameras, front, back & driveway. The back & driveway are optimally positioned & flawless. It will pick up motion a good 25 foot away. We are still at the experimental stage with our front camera due entirely to our sub-optimal positioning of the camera, but even then it very seldom misses anything. There are various settings that you can adjust for each camera & while of course you can plug & play for those not inclined to faff about, for nerds like me 😉 you will want & dare I say enjoy optimising your settings.

Battery – As others have commented, 6 month battery is at best a push for I would assume most people, though of course it depends on your settings, surroundings etc. We live on a non-working farm, but have a rural road that is effectively a main road in focus to the front camera. Our Driveway cam has a Diyarts 6W solar panel (brilliant by the way) which keeps it topped up at 100% anyway & this one gets the most usage from us. Even in cloudy weather & a shaded area with relatively heavy use, recording, logging in frequently to have a nose ;-), it’s still at 100%. My back camera I often turn off as its just us & the dogs, but that loses roughly only 1% a day if that, but again when it’s on I frequently check in. My front however has lost 35% in 3 days. I think this is due to having what is effectively a main road in frame & although I have set activity zones to account for this, I assume it must be on an almost permanent state of alert as it has detected (not recorded) over 5k events in around a week compared to under 200 on my other 2. Frankly I would rather this than missing things. It has taken a while to keep tweaking the activity zone to not get false alerts from passing traffic, but all part of the fun for me! Besides, if charging is an issue, there are options. A solar panel (Diyarts is magnificent), hanging an external battery charger as I do to save brining it in & having to reposition or a long lead from your mains. Our front is north facing so hardly any sun, but given how good our panel is in not dissimilar conditions on the driveway, I will almost certainly put up a solar panel for this one too. Currently hanging an external battery for an hour or 2 every week is not exactly a hardship. Our back camera would get pretty close to the advertised 6 month’s battery.

24/7 – Not an option so if you need that, this isn’t for you. I do think it would be a handy feature for Eufy to allow this as attaching solar panels (or getting the next model up that come with built in solar) negates the need for the cameras to be low energy use. But the most minor of quibbles.

Storage – It comes with 16Gb of data which assuming for most people it’s simply homeowners, friends, families, pets, delivery drivers etc being picked up, we probably don’t want to keep those. So regular maintenance to delete will ensure this is enough for most people. However, for the sake of around 35, you can get the excellent Crucial 1TB Solid State Drive – the quick one for techphobes 😉 which future proofs you.

Summary – I agonised over what system to get & did more research than is probably healthy 😉 before settling on this. Really happy I did. If you can afford the Eufy 3, then the built in solar, IP67 v IP 65 rating & ant-theft is compelling. We intend to add further cameras to our system & will purchase these when they aren’t over double the price. The Homebase will take up to 16 cameras, however Eufy recommend no more than 10 otherwise it may affect performance. But 10 will be more than enough for most people, certainly us! But this system is brilliant, comes highly recommended.

Great product. Well made. Crystal clear images and video. Easy to set up and install. Many useful features within the App to allow tailoring of the camera functions.
Not a single negative issue whatsoever.
Easy to add a hardrive storage to the Homebase unit. Expensive but definitely get what you pay for. Quality products. Thoroughly recommended.

Mirad os ser sincero, empec por poner cmaras en mi negocio y escog para empezar las de la marca “ARLO”, lo que pas es que me cans cada mes de pagar 10 para ver las grabaciones y decid buscar una alternativa que tubiese almacenamiento local gratuito y que la calidad de grabacin y reconocimiento de movimiento sea bueno, ya que las de Arlo funcionaban muy bien.

Me compr estas de eufy, y son una autntica maravilla. El reconocimiento de movimiento es mucho mejor que las otras que he probado, y se ve hasta el ltimo detalle.

Yo no me lo pensara mas, vale ms la pena invertir en unas buenas camaras, que comprar unas ms baratas y que luego pase algo y no se le vea la cara o la matrcula al tipo.

Ests son las mejores y punto, ni arlo, ni blink ni nada. ESTAS.

These cameras produce a good quality picture in daylight, and the low light performance is quite good too. It’s a well thought out system, and very easy to set up. The support for local storage is a definite advantage, as many such systems only work well if you purchase additional cloud storage, so a big thumbs up there. The amount of included storage is quite small, but can be expanded.

Unfortunately, the battery life on the cameras is not anything like the claimed 180 days, and, in fact, the necessity for constant recharging was so inconvenient that I’ve stopped using them. The ability to connect to solar panels would be an advantage, and the manufacturers say that this will be an option by the end of 2022, but, for now, the battery life is the one issue that mars an otherwise very capable product.

Very clear picture, good night vision I use it with IR rather than spotlight so less likely to alert intruders to the camera. Easy to set up, it took less than 15mins to set up 2 cameras

This eufy security camera comes boxed with instructions and accessories (cables, hub, mounting equipment etc). Build quality appears to be very good and the cameras have a reasonable level of waterproofing.

Two cameras are included and these are truly wireless in that they are rechargeable. The hub has to be connected to a router but I had no trouble doing this. The advantage of the hub is that if someone was to steal the camera you don’t lose your recording. Storage can be upgraded if need be, which is good if you are going to be recording a lot of footage.

As with all home security systems these days, all the action happens in the app, which I installed and connected to the cameras with no issues. The app is easy to navigate and allows access to all the settings I’d expect (night vision, two way audio, spotlight, alarm) as well as high-end features like facial recognition. That feature works better than I expected and helps keep notifications down.

Performance overall is very good. Picture quality is excellent (both day and night vision) and though I’m continuing to adjust the settings I’m not getting too many false notifications. The downside of the cameras being rechargeable is that the battery life does vary according to use so they do need to be installed somewhere where they can be relatively easily reached. The one I have at the front of my house gets a lot more use than the one at the back.

Overall I’m very happy with these cameras. They work well and have excellent functionality without the need for a subscription.

We have a Eufy doorbell and Eufy bathroom scales so we know that Eufy is a brilliant brand. The Cameras have not disappointed.

The quality is fantastic. Fairly easy to set it all up. Look good. Can’t complain about anything at all.

We definitely need more than 2 cameras but we will get some more at some point.

Honestly is a fantastic bit of kit. You won’t be disappointed.

Highly worth it for peace of mind!
