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.

The picture quality in day and night-time and ease of use is great while it works. Can speak through the camera, pretty sensitive except for showing cars that show up in your driveway, and has a variety of options to adjust. The reason I'm giving it 2 stars is that it craps out after exactly 1 year. I bought this thing 01/2022 and it stopped working around 02/2023. I had bought a new adapter per their FAQ and that extended it by a few weeks. Then it crapped out again. Their warranty is only good for one year so just missed it. I'd expect more longevity for the price I paid at the time. I had bought 2 Blink cameras back in 2019 and they still both work perfectly per my father. I decided to go with this option because now I rent an apartment and I did not want to drill in an outdoor security camera mount above the door. Saw that this had a magnet mount and thought that it was perfect. Also saw the picture quality was maybe a bit better than what Blink offered. Another reason for the two starts is that customer service is pretty useless. After going to the FAQ and trying everything including, like I said, buying an entirely new adapter of appropriate voltage, and the camera still not powering on, I e-mailed customer service. I had initially said that I had purchased this camera 01/2022 and it isn't powering on then they'd offer a replacement after I provide proof of purchase, which I did. Then, after I provided that with my shipping address, they stated that they cannot do it since it had been more than a year. I had already mentioned in my first e-mail I had bought it more than a year ago so why would you offer then retract after the fact? It just gives the impression that they aren't really reading e-mailed inquiries. Just rubbed me the wrong way. Would be a great camera if it last more than a year. Guess I'll just have to try other options or ask my landlord if drill mounting a new Blink camera is okay. Overall: -1 star for dying after one year -1 star for no sensitivity to cars -1 star for unhelpful customer service If you have the budget to continue purchasing one of these every year, then, sure, it's a good buy. I'd at least like for it to last at least 2 years before dying to show that it was worth the price especially since I could get 2 blink cameras for the price of 1 of these nowadays.

This is the best Camera we've used so far. We have Arlo, Ring and a couple cheaper units that you can move the view with your phone. The Eufy gives you a snapshot of what activated it to record. It tells you if it was a Human or pet. You can set up zones to record or ignore. It has an alarm you can activate. I don't have to purchase any plan to store recordings. It comes with a micro SD card.

Nice little camera. Easy to set up and connect, although the cord and the magnet kind of interfered with each other when I was trying to direct it. Made it work, though.

I have several of these cameras around the outside of my house. This is the latest one as it replaced a camera meant for indoor use, and I wanted this one to blend in more to my porch. I also have several battery powered Eufy cams, but I really do prefer these wired cams if you have access to wire them. Image quality is great, and I like that a micro sd card is a storage option. The spotlight is actually quite powerful, and lights up the entire porch when it comes on. I have also been impressed with motion detection, and the Eufy app is real nice as you can select the type of motion to detect, along with other settings. Overall, I recommend this camera if you have the ability to wire it to power.

Already had one in use. Love video quality, built in person detection, 24/7 recording capability, good night vision with spot light, good usable app for control and viewing. Couldn't resist $20 off sale, so bought TWO.

This is a great outdoor cam! It was easy to set up and easy to use. It is accurate with motion detection and has a very clear picture. It also has a spot light which is super bright! It not only provides light for recording in color at night, but also acts as a motion light for when we’re coming home.

Picture is great quality and app easy to use. Way better than I thought it was gonna work. Put right outside my 2 floor window and even withstands the frigid cold. I love the extra power supply cord so I never have to worry about batteries. Just swell all around.

Good for making people scared for messing with my vehicles couple of broken down vehicles in front of my house before I had a security camera and people used to pour sugar in our vehicles but not anymore we only have 1 good working vehicle now but due to my security camera people are scared to get a lawsuit against them

Love these cameras, work very well, inside and outside of the house. Whenever they go on sale, I grab another one. Came with a 32GB Kingston memory card, set up was easy. Love the magnetic base.

Very easy to install; great picture at nights. Very compact.

Great camera and easy to set up. Gives you a really long cable to get it to a power source.

Very good product and easy to install. It is motion detected as well.

easy to use..the camera picture is very cleared , nigth vision very good...

Video picture quality is stunning with its ultra 2k resolution clarity coupled with F2.0 aperture. We mounted outdoor near the entry porch to watch both our main entry door and garage. Its rated IP67 to handle extreme weather elements. Main advantage compared to other competitors are its subscription free security system model. It does come with SanDisk edge 32GB microSDXC card and the device supports up to 128GB. I had SanDisk ultra 128GB lying around and used that which will record up to 20 days of continuous footage. Also, this camera has feature to record footage continuously to your NAS using RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). I have sinology NAS and this camera is supported to record continuously once you configure in the app. App is very intuitive. It has got the live view option that displays the Wi-Fi signal strength, options to mute the notifications and view various events. Motion alert is very well improved in this camera compared to its older generation. It notifies only when needed and thanks to the cameras built in AI for accurately identify if a person or pet. It does have an option for security where you can enable various mode like home, away, disarmed, geofencing, schedule and options to customize in the app. Spotlight feature in this small form factor is very impressive. LED is very bright at night and lights up when its senses motion during dark and to record. You do have option to set your motion activity zone in the app, along with the type of object you want to detect and trigger recording like person, pet, all other motion to avoid false alarm. We have set it to only person during day time and all other motion at schedule for nights. Also, the sensitivity form lowest to highest can be set. Same with sound detection. Video streaming quality can also be set at auto, high, medium and low if you have bandwidth issues. Recording quality can also be set at 2k HD or Full HD (1080P). Has 2-way audio to communicate if required. Only con, is this camera doesn’t support 5GHZ and only 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi connectivity and have no other mounting options other than magnetic mount. Overall, great mini security camera with all features that any competitors have to offer. If you are in the market for outdoor/indoor camera and need local storage, 24/7 recording with no hassle of cloud paid recording, reliable connection, better price then looks no further. Highly recommend.

These cameras are awesome and very easy to install. Great quality video and have had them for a little over a year now. I live in Central New York so the winters get pretty harsh. No issues at all.

I did not actually get to try this camera. I am writing this review about Best Buy. I ordered the camera and it was shipped to me same-day by a service called Roadie. The driver was nice, so no complaints there. The shipping box had tape with "inspected by Best Buy" on it. When I opened it, the camera box was not sealed tightly and had the same tape over it. (See pics) Then I saw the camera was not new -- it has the label that goes over the lens taken off and pushed down inside the box. I was wondering if I accidentally purchased a refurbished item (no, I did not) and looked up my order to see if I got charged regular price (yes, I did) so I took it back to the store. When staff opened the box to inspect, it was obvious someone had already tried it. They did not have any in stock to exchange so it's now a full return. So disappointing Best Buy is sending out used products. Do better with Quality Assurance. Never had this happen before and I hope it's not happening to anyone else.

The camera has excellent vision and I love how easy it is to setup. Trickiest thing was figuring out where to plug it in. The app is well designed and the features are pretty cool. Didn't know you had control of the spotlight or alarm feature. I was not expecting such a small light to be that bright either though. The only negative I could give would be the magnetic mount holding the camera on. It is a strong magnet so wind is not going to blow it off but if some one pulled it off or threw something at it they may be able to knock it off.
