I've used Anker products for many years now (the parent company of Eufy). And I've used the Eufy Floodlight Camera for a while and like them. (And I have 3 Floodlight cams now, 1 waiting to be installed, only delayed because I found out the fixture I was replacing wasn't installed to code so I need to get a new fixture box to do it properly.) I purchased these Eufy Outdoor Cams to start replacing my previous Nest cameras where I don't need the floodlights. (I like the Nest Cameras, but the price is very steep, and I'm paying yearly and they constantly use upstream bandwidth for my connection, where the Eufy video is stored on memory cards on the device, but with a cloud option as an add-on, but *not required*. There's definitely pros and cons to either, but I prefer having the option. And the Nest cameras are very good quality, but the Eufy cameras seem to be very comparable, both for picture and durability and waterproof design. From inspecting them from the outside, they seem very well designed. I have 2 Nest cams and a Nest doorbell to go to replace with Eufy cameras and the Eufy doorbell, plus extra cameras I am adding for full outdoor coverage, something I couldn't afford to do if I continued using Nest.) Settings up zones is simple, and customizing the notifications is fairly straightforward once you get used to where various options are in the Eufy Security app. I included photos from one camera - it took just a few minutes to setup 2 zones so I get notifications from movement on the steps and my gate, but it won't record motion detected in the neighbor's yard. (unless it's right next to the fence, but being chainlink that couldn't be avoided) I also adjusted the zone so my outside HVAC unit won't trigger motion when the fan turns on. (And I included a photo showing my zones - in the photo it has a bigger gap around the HVAC, but I will tighten that up once I trim the overgrown foliage - and yes there is a gate hidden behind that small jungle :). But when the HVAC fan turns on it would also move the leaves near it, so that's why I currently have a larger gap, but it's fast an easy to adjust once I get that trimmed.) You can also setup different notification types for different zones, for example if you wanted notifications for people entering the gate to be setup differently than pets going up and down the steps, which is what I did - I'll get pet notifications through the gate zone, but not the steps - so I don't get alerts just when the dogs go outside to potty for example. But I get human notifications for both zones. And for the area outside the zone, I have notifications and event recording off, so I don't get notifications from things in the neighbor's yard. Setup went very smoothly - and I haven't had any Wi-Fi connection issues. Although after installing the 1st camera, I did add an outdoor Wi-Fi access point just for my outdoor cameras, and switched it over. This wasn't due to any problems, but because I wanted to have a dedicated Wi-Fi access point for my outdoor cameras (I have one on the front and back of the house), since by the time I'm done switching my cameras from Nest and adding additional cameras it could be more potential Wi-Fi traffic, and this gives all of them a better signal because it doesn't have to pass through the denser outer walls of the house, and won't be shared with other devices inside. And the outdoor access points are also on a different channel than the indoor to reduce interference between them. And as a bonus, now I have good Wi-Fi in my yard for devices if I need it. Although my outdoor Wi-Fi access point is not a Eufy product, I am mentioning it because depending on your house, and your Wi-Fi, you may have spots outside where the camera cannot get a strong signal - this is not due to the camera as they have good Wi-Fi in my experience, just due to the Wi-Fi limitations in general (distance, going through walls, and other devices sharing the access point can all affect the stability). So adding a $60-80 outdoor Wi-Fi access point was my choice to prevent this type of issue, and I mention it here just as one solution to think about if you do happen to run into problems with a weak Wi-Fi signal outside where you want your cameras. (This will vary depending on many factors, but in some cases could also make the camera response a bit snappier as well.) Physical installation was also very simple. There are two options: One using adhesive for the mounting plate, and the other drilling a single screw to the mounting plate. I chose to drill a hole, as the adhesive wouldn't have worked as well on wood. This process was fast and easy, and then the camera attaches to the mounting plate using magnets in the camera, and there is a little clip portion on the plate that holds the USB power cable as well. (So if by chance it falls in a strong storm with high winds, it will at least still hang by the cable, instead of impacting the ground. I haven't had this happen though, but it's nice to know if it does come off the mounting plate, the camera still won't fall - although probably still hard on the cable if that happens. But my older Nest cameras that use a similar magnetic mount have never had any issues, so I don't expect these to either.) I do wish the magnets covered a slightly larger area on the back of the camera though. I was still able to angle the camera enough for the one I needed to angle the most. (And my other cameras won't have this issue because they won't have to be angled much at all.) But before installing the mounting plate, test this out - if you need the camera to be pointed sideways compared to the mounting plate, you may want to either find a different location, or add something behind the mounting plate, like an angled block, so the mounting plate is angled to start with to ensure the camera has a tight enough magnetic hold. But in my case it worked out fine, you can see the angle in one of the photos. But if I had to go much farther I would have added an angled block between the mounting plate and the mounting location. Also - in some of the screenshots an outdoor light is on - I turned that on before taking the screenshots on purpose, just to show that the glare from the light (which is rather close to the camera) doesn't have a huge impact on the image. And then I turned it back off and took another screenshot to show the night vision quality. I'm definitely happy with my Eufy cameras, and glad I decided to switch to them over Nest, as it will save me money, and allow me to have better coverage around the house because I can afford to get more.

This is a great outdoor camera. eufy always has great quality products I own quite a few of them now. The spotlight on this camera is super bright and can enable full color recording. I have seen no delay in motion notifications with my Home set up. I think this is great price compared to other cameras that are out on the market. I think wired versions perform better than wireless/battery operated so if you have an area to plug this in, I highly recommend it. The picture in the review shows it currently in the garage as I have moved around some cameras temporarily.
