Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this camera as a Deal of the Day and could not be happier!! It took me some time to decide where to mount it (which is why I am submitting this review now), but I have been WOWED by it ever since!! The clarity and sound from the camera is astounding, and I have found this to be the case both during the daytime and nighttime. The range of the camera is also excellent, because I can easily see vehicles as they enter my subdivision and drive up the hill toward my home. The app works very well, and it's easy to set it to detect human movement (although it can be used to sense any movement within range of the camera). The only downside that it may have at this point is the fact that it has to be taken down to charge the internal battery, but the mounting bracket makes it easy to remove the camera to use its USB charger. So far, though, it seems to be holding its charge very well. All in all, though, I am very satisfied with this product and would not hesitate to purchase and use another!

Great product and quality for current price. Camera is very clear and battery last long, so far I've had mine set up for 2 weeks and still at a full charge. If you're looking to save some money and get a good quality video camera with different capabilities for outside I would recommend this.

Purchased this camera because it was on sale. It was a very smart decision and an excellent choice. The image is very clear both day and night. The light on the camera is very bright and lights up the whole area. The speaker is very clear. You can clearly hear the person through the cell phone app and they can clearly hear you. Sensor setting and human recognition are very proficient. Easy setup on the app. The battery life lasts a long time before it notifies you that it needs to be charged. Great camera

I mounted this on a clamp mount purchased separately and move it around to wherever I need it in my yard. Weather hasn’t been a problem. It is very useful being entirely wireless. I would not recommend this for a high activity area because it has to be charged roughly every three months. You may see some articles dealing with privacy recently with this camera, if this is a concern for you, read up on it and understand what those issues are (thumbnails get loaded to an intermediate server depending on your settings). I have two of these and have been very happy with them.

Needed / wanted an additional security camera to cover part of our back yard and with our wired system it’s too hard to run cabling for that location I didn’t want another Ring camera as their image quality isn’t that great. I’ve been following Eufy Security’s products for a while and decided to try out their new Spotlight Cam Pro 2k camera. Unboxing and setup: The camera came very well protected in a nicely logoed box, and was very well protected. In with the camera was a USB C charging cable “no charger”, mounting bracket, mounting screws “two types” manual, some security stickers. The camera itself is pretty heavy for its size, mainly due to having a large battery capacity. The included bracket is your typical three hole articulated camera bracket and is plenty sturdy to hold the camera. There are two different mounting screw / anchor packets with it, one longer set and one shorter just depends on what you will be mounting it to. The first thing I did was to plug it into our universal charging station and let it charge overnight. The next morning I proceeded to start the setup which is really simple, “just a couple hiccups”, you do have to download the EufySecurity APP from the app store of your choosing “Android or IOS, “we use Android””. And upon opening the app it shows you how to complete the setup by pressing the top button to power on the unit and then have the software find the camera. Now this is where I ran into the first issue. You will have to make sure your Wi-Fi on your phone is set to 2.4ghz, with mine being on 5ghz it wouldn’t connect “easily fixed”, then the app displays a barcode on your phone and just hold that up to the camera for it to see and it sets up the camera. That’s where the second issue came in, once it would scan the barcode the app just sat there with a spinning “Wait” wheel and nothing happened. But If I closed the app completely “not just minimized it” then reopened the camera was there and ready to go. I initially used a tripod “same screw pattern as my DSLR”, to try it out and find just the right place to mount it and set it outside for testing. The app has plenty of settings and you can pick from just “Human” alerts or anything. Plus you can set the image quality “ours is set at max 2k” and motion detection area. I had also accidentally left it out during one of our monsoon storms, the wind and pouring rain didn’t seem to bother it a bit. Surprisingly there weren’t any false alerts during the storm which I figured there would be with everything blowing around and rain pouring down “didn’t catch the storm unfortunately either :( “. We were pleasantly surprised with the image quality, it’s far better than any of our Ring cameras, but it’s not quite as good as our hard wired 4k cameras. It’s really closer to the 4k quality than the 1080 of the Ring cameras, just no comparison there. The image is also has a very wide angle and covers almost what two of our 4k cameras cover so a single camera will cover quite a bit of area. The Ring spotlight has a wider angle, but that really hurts overall image quality and you can see the difference in our test pics. I really like how the app will take a snapshot of a person caught in the video, it’s generally nice and clear and easy to make out just who it is for identification purposes. The B&W night vision works really well also “although there are visual red IR leds that anyone can see “not bright but noticeable”, which may also help be a deterrent. The white spotlight is more of a flood light and it’s nice and bright, plus you can change the color temperature from warm to cool and adjust brightness to your liking. The speaker is reasonably loud, it seems to be clearer than our Ring spotlight cam, and the microphone, while watching a clip or viewing live video is much clearer than the Ring, “big thumbs up to Eufy for that one”. The siren isn’t exactly loud, but it’s loud enough to give anyone a good start and hopefully make them run away. Conclusion: If you don’t have a way to easily run wiring for a dedicated wired system this is going to be a great camera for you. You do have to remember to mount it where it’s easily accessed so you can either take down to charge or to hook up the charging cable by extension cord and adapter. I saw that Eufy is making a solar panel for this and I believe that’s what we’ll be adding as I want to put it up a little higher but don’t want to have to get the ladder every few months to charge, “Eufy says up to 4 months”. The image quality is surprisingly good day or night “we won’t use color night vision as it requires the spot light” and the 8gb of internal storage is enough for a lot of clips “it’s non removable or upgradeable” but plenty for the average consumer. This is such a simple system to install and set up, any home owner should be able to set it up and mount it. Plus Eufy makes doorbell cameras and other cameras you could pair with this to make a complete home monitoring system. For the price and not have to deal with trying to run cabling Eufy has come up with a great camera.

Easy to install and great features without having to sign up for a security plan unless you want too.

The best thing about this camera is that you don’t need to buy anything extra. It is wireless, with a built-in battery (that lasts a long time), and you don’t need to have a hub, or monthly plan. As the device has a small memory card (8 GB emmc that isn’t removeable) that holds all the information. So, it’s a true one-time purchase with zero hidden cost. Which is hard to find on a lot of cameras these days. SETUP: It’s simple, you log into the Eufy App and it walks you through the setup process. It comes with a mounting sticker to make it easy to predrill the holes. Using your phone and the Eufy app, you can figure out the best angle, set up zones, and other things. It almost takes longer to gather the tools (screwdriver, camera, mount, screws, and ladder) than it does to set it up and get it working. FEATURES/PROS/CONS: - You can adjust how warm/cool the Spotlight is (4,000 – 6,000K). Which I like so I can match it with my other outdoor lights. So, it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. This spotlight can also turn on automatically with motion, manually, or not at all. Users choice. It is pretty bright at 600 lumens which surrounds the lens. It will easily light up a person if they are close (~12 feet). The night vision is also solid and very clear. - You can set up zones of where it should or shouldn’t pick up alerts. Alerts are delivered quickly to your phone. Faster than most. You have two settings of it picking up ANY movement or just people. If you have it on any movement, you will get destroyed by alerts as it picks up everything (which is a good thing). So, I left mine on just human detection. Which is extremely accurate. It even takes a little snapshot of their face automatically in case you need it. But I do wish there were more AI or features here. As I really like cameras that can tell if it is a human, package, animal, car, etc. which this cannot. - It has a two-way speech feature. So, you can talk to someone and they can talk to you. There is a slight delay but nothing terrible. Dialogue can be picked up from 8 meters away. Or so, they say. My testing showed that was true as the conversation I spied on had very clear audio and it was easy to understand. - Can control through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. I wish more things worked with Apple Home. - It charges via USB C. Which is awesome. However, it takes 8-hours to charge fully which is brutal. - IP67 rating. Meaning rain, shine, or snow it’ll be just fine. - I am a bit confused. As the Eufy app says it can record in “2K HD high resolution with high compression encoding format” or “Full HD (1080p) resolution with H.264 encoding format” but they report this is a 1080p camera not a 1440p one. So, I’m confused. If it’s a 2k camera then the image quality is above average but not great. If it’s 1080p it’s great. - Accuracy of reports is one of the best that I’ve seen. It’s excellent. Only beaten by one other camera I own. - Can activate a siren if you want. They report it goes up to 90 dB. - I wish you could get on a computer and check alerts. However, you limited to doing it directly through the app only. CONCLUSION: I’m a big fan of Eufy as they do a great job with their products. They are solid, well built, look great, and have great battery life. I find the picture quality to be above average. Alerts are accurate and quick. I just wish they were “smarter” by telling me if it was a human, animal, car, etc. instead of just getting any motion alert or human. There are a lot of settings that you can mess with if you wish. It would also be nice to have a computer app to check instead of doing it on my phone. Not having to buy a monthly service and having everything local without wires is fantastic. Easy recommendation.

>> Overview I am glad I chose the Eufy Spotlight Cam Pro 2K. It is easy to configure, there are several options to detect motion, record video, determine activity (detection) zone, among others. It comes with 8GB of storage space, enough to record events for several weeks (well if there are not too many events). The alerts (videos) are easily accessible through the Eufy App. Since it is wireless and battery operated, it can be easily moved as needed to find the perfect location to capture the activity outside the house. As advertised, there are no monthly payments for having the device, data is stored in the device itself so no need for a Cloud Service. - Pros: Customizable with several options, wireless, battery operated, no monthly fee, 2K video. - Cons: a little heavy, protrudes a little too much after installation. >> Installation and Setup The first thing to do that is recommended in the booklet is to charge the camera for several hours. In my case, I decided to first configure the camera to make sure all was fine and then fully charge and install it outside. For setting it up, I downloaded the Eufy App, chose to add the device (SoloCam), selected the wireless network I wanted to use, and used the QR scanning code to put in front of the camera for it to be automatically configured. Once the basic configuration was done, I used the Eufy Phone App to customize the camera and review a few indoor alert videos. Next, I let it charge overnight. After setting it up and making sure the camera recorded fine and it was fully charged, I proceeded to attach it to the backyard shed about 7 feet above ground. The package came with screws that I used to secure the device to the upper front side of the backyard shed. This is not the final location, but to make sure things were working fine, I wanted to place it somewhere where it would be able to detect animals (I saw some signs of animal activity in the backyard). The only complaint I have is that the camera can only be tilted/rotated in one axis, when you see the camera base/support you’ll find you cannot freely move in all directions once everything is secure in place. Nevertheless, the camera lenses are wide enough to capture a large horizontal area, which means that you’ll only need to tilt the camera vertically to adjust it to detect things closer to the base/ground. >> Video recording The default video length is 20 secs clips, this can be changed to 60 secs or even customize it more. The camera has 8GB of storage, which should be sufficient to record clips of activity throughout several weeks (if there isn’t too much activity when the camera is on). So far, the quality has been great, at 2K things are distinguishable. I noticed that if the camera was configured to Color Night recording, and if I chose live view, I’d need to turn on the Camera-light to see anything on my phone screen, otherwise live view would just show a black screen. That is why I decided to keep the BlackAndWhite Night recording option on. >> Other thoughts Once installed, it protrudes a little too much, the arm is a little too long, perhaps having it shorter and closer to the wall would look better. Adding its size, it is noticeable to the eye, well it can act as deterrent I’d think. One very positive aspect is that its wireless capabilities seem great, I can easily connect to it from the Phone App and watch the videos. This is my first impression of the camera after a few days of use. I am giving it a 5-star rating based on this preliminary experience, I might change my position as time goes by and as I get to experiment with other similar devices, but so far, this device hasn’t disappointed me.

The SoloCam L40 is another great product from Eufy. Like my other Eufy devices this one also came nicely packed. The way they packed their products differentiates from the rest. This device is a 2K security wireless camera with a spotlight. It has a built-in rechargeable battery and is IP67 weatherproof. This camera is packed with other more features besides the one I mentioned. It comes with two way audio and siren, human detection and motion zones and more. When you get the device out of the box you will notice it is not tiny and it has little weight to it. It is very nicely constructed and does not feel cheap at all. Setting it up is easy but I encountered some issues trying to get it connected with my WiFi. This camera is wireless but it only uses 2.5ghz band. Like after the third try I finally got it hooked up. The process is simple using the Eufy security app, add your device, hit the pair button on the camera, scan the QR code provided on your phone with the camera and that's pretty much it. This camera is outdoors and the best part is that it can be mounted pretty much anywhere since you don’t require cables. The spotlight is actually very bright and the color temperature can be adjusted with the app The 2K images are sharp and colorful and with a 150 wide angle view it covers a lot. The image can also be adjusted to 1080p if you wish. The night vision works like a charm and the images also look good. This camera promotes color night vision and it works and the images are really good but there’s a catch. You will require some light to capture those images in colour, otherwise if your location is pitch black you will not see anything. That’s why if you have the motion detection on, it will turn on the spotlight to capture that image in a really nice color. Whoever with that light turning on so often, it will drain the battery quicker. Now, if you live in a very lighted community or city you can see the image in color with no problem without the use of the spotlight. The microphone in this camera also works pretty well, and the speaker is loud enough to be heard. Now, that siren is very loud so loud it can be annoying and that's what you want. In the app settings you can set the spotlight to flash when the siren goes off. Built in it comes with 8GB of local storage with no expandable option. 8GB is not a lot but it will take a lot of 60sec videos to fill it up, and you're not required monthly or yearly payments. One thing that was not mentioned anywhere in the box or manual is the battery life. I have been using this cam for almost a week and so far the battery still has 96%. To recharged the battery you will have to unscrew the camera from the mount making it a bit of a hassle to charge. Something I notice within the motion detection sensitivity default to medium is that the video was captured kind of late. If you want the video to capture video almost as soon as it detects a motion you have to set sensitivity to the max. This camera can be used with Google assistant and Alexa. I use it with my Google assistant and it works like a charm. The camera shows as a light, on the Google home app in which you can turn on and off. To trigger and view the camera you have to summon it or activate manually from the Google Home display. Overall you can't go wrong with this camera that works as intended with great images, tons of features, local storage with no monthly fees and backup by reputable company Eufy/Anker who has made the best smartlock in the market. In the box you get the L40 camera, USB-C cable ( not too long btw), screw mount, mounting screws, warning labels, and manuals.

I was very picky but finally got exactly what I needed. I had to return 3 expensive brands because I found out that EufyCam is far better and less expensive. Picture quality is perfect or at least better than all the expensive ones I tried. They also have options to suit everyone’s needs; cloud, memory card or both. Please look no further. Get the type of eufycam you need and you’ll be very satisfied.

I was definitely skeptical before buying this that the spotlight wouldnt be bright enough for my carport but i was wrong! It lights up my carport perfectly when motion is detected! Recording quality is amazing as i expected since i have owned multiple eufy cameras for a few years now and all have been amazing!

DOESNT ALWAYS WARN YOU OF MOTION ON MY ALEXA. THEN IT MIGHT RECORD VIDEO BUT YOU WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY MOTION. MAYBE WORTH THE $99 I PAID BUT DEFENTLY NOT WORTH THE ASKING $169 NO WAY

This wireless camera is another great security product from Eufy. The camera has lots of features that I really needed for my home like color night vision, siren and flashlight spotlight alarm, weatherproof , human detection, customize activity zones, adjustable brightness, live view and recording, instant notification through the app, two way audio and all the videos shows crystal clear with it’s 2K resolution. It’s a little heavy with 1.83 pounds but I’m sure that means that it has a great battery that will last long charged, also works great with Alexa and Google home. The Spotlight is super bright and you can adjust from warm to cool color temperature from the app. Using the night vision it’s great with its setting to watch the video either in black & white or color night vision. The only thing that I wish this camera will included on the settings was the Geofencing like they have it on their doorbell, that way is so much easier for the devise to detect when your home or away but I’m sure Eufy will update their firmware someday and add the Geofencing.

Easy to install and love not having to buy a subscription. But disconnects from wifi about once a week and as it’s outdoors above garage it’s a bit of a hassle to reconnect. And while there’s currently no eufy solar panel that works with this model, I found one on Amazon specifically for this model that works great.

Here’s why this is a great camera, and something you might want to consider. Been using it for about a week or more now, so here are my thoughts. Great battery life Fantastic video quality Ready to use with 8gb off on board storage Easy setup, with easy controls Very bright spotlight

If you already have a Eufy setup with the non-SoloCam series cameras or you use the entry sensors with the HomeBase2, then you will definitely want to read below. The SoloCam L40 is really nice camera all around and is great option for someone just needing a camera in one location and a quick setup. It does take about 8 hours to charge the camera out of the box, so keep that in mind when planning your attack. You will also need a charger. 5V/2A is recommended. The cameras are now USB-C and still come with a charging cable. Great when needing one location and not needing a full security application. It works in tandem with the HomeBase 2, so if you already have other cameras or entry sensors, there are no issues. However, it is treated as a separate system in the app so arming and disarming are not a connected event, but require separate inputs to activate. Which also means the security key pad won't change the SoloCam arm/disarm setting. The Eufy app has a section for automations for devices that triggers another device to activate. So if you have an entry sensor activate it can tell a camera to start recording. Or if you have one Camera triggered then you can have other camera start recording too. The SoloCam Series though has the storage built in the camera and is treated as its own base station in the app and therefore cannot accept any automation. So the SoloCam is as the name implies, meant to be used solo. And that goes for adding other SoloCam’s in to your Eufy app. They will all be treated separately. The camera on it’s own works pretty good. I did find that early evening to dusk is a hard time to detect for it. Low light and mid day, it doesn’t have any issues. There is a delay from when it detects to win it records, which is typical for most of these types of systems that do not have the ability to continuously record. The time of day is where this delay increases during the dusk hours. I included some sample photos for size comparison to a Eufy Cam 2C. The other photos are of the beginning of the recorded event to show when the camera picked up the motion and when the camera had footage of the event. May camera is placed 7ft off the ground and my backyard gently slopes. Camera Settings: Motion Detection Level 4/7; All Motion. -Picture with “Gate” written. The distance from the deck steps to the Gate is about 50 feet, there is a fire pit between the steps and the gate and it is pretty close to half way. So the 26ft it should be able to read it struggles with or is slow to record. Not sure how to tell. -Picture with Red Car in background and person wearing Blue Tshirt, the camera is about 20ft away. Person came out of side door of house and is about 8ft from the door. -Comparison to that photo is the night shot. Same person, same door exit, but picked up at about 5ft out of the door. There is an over door the sconce light on too. -Last one, I am mowing and about 70ft away from the camera. The Eufy App is really easy to work with. There are a lot of settings to tweak for the camera and even more if you have the full security suite. One feature I Iike is the Activiy Zone where you can setup a zone to only trigger captures. I wish my other cameras were like the SoloCam L40’s activity zone grid, as it is way more customizable with its 6 point polygon system versus the 4 point rectangle only system. Picture/Video quality is good. The grass makes it pretty grainy, but when used over a deck or driveway it is more clear. Audio quality is pretty good for the speaker and the two-way talk is nice; Eufy would do better to make it in an on/off switch in the app, instead of it requiring you to hold it down to talk. Security Light is 600 Lumens. On a porch or in a location that is tight or has a few walls to bounce light off this is fine. In my location it pretty much exists to let the person know the camera is on. It will illuminated a spot about 6 feet-8feet in front of it. The light itself looks like it is glowing, so it is a bti different than a spot light or security light on a house. Mounting Bracket is nice and sturdy and is the same that is used for the Solar Charger (unfortunately the SoloCam Series is not rated to work with the Solar Charger as it has micro-usb instead of USB-c cable). The weight of the camera is quite substantial so that is my guess why they upgraded it. I prefer to the standard outdoor mounts as it gives nearly limitless positioning choices. The outdoor mount that comes with the other outdoor cameras do not have as a robust mounting positions and the magnetic mounts are actually for indoor use only. My only complaint is out of the box, after the 8 hour charging and then starting the initial setup and mounting per the step-by-step instructions, once the camera is mounted and you are done, it then checks for a software update. To me that is a little silly to have it run that after it is mounted when the first step after charging is syncing to the app and setting up the wifi network it will run on. If there is an issue with the update, you are going to have take it back down or at least climb back up to reset the camera.

I decided to test this camera because I have tested and bought several types of Eufy cameras over the past several years, and I've liked them all. This camera is larger than the other cameras I have, but it's not overly large... it kind of reminds me of a robotic cyclops eye. Set up and activation was relatively simple, but I did experience some trouble when finding a suitable mounting location; the camera didn't have a good enough WiFi connection at the location I initially chose. This is the only real problem I have with the camera so far; the non-ability to use this camera with existing Eufy base stations. I have several base stations at various places in my house that act as extenders for WiFi coverage, but I thought that this camera could also be used with a base station; I mistakenly thought it had the *added* ability to work as a standalone WiFi camera, but this is not an *added* ability, it is the *only* ability. Not a show stopper, but a big surprise. Eufy support stated that they are thinking about releasing products in the future that can be used either way, but this particular camera is WiFi only. In any case, I was trying to place the camera on a screened-in porch, but it wouldn't connect to WiFi, even though there was a base station at the same location that was connecting to the same WiFi without any issue. I wound up placing a range extender in the room closest to the location so the camera could 'see' the router. Once the camera was mounted, the app allowed the same access to settings you'd expect with any other Eufy camera. As with the other Eufy cameras I have, the motion sensitivity setting works rather well, but I also usually run the cameras in 'Human' mode, and I still occasionally get false alarms; most of the time it's deer, I assume it's the legs. This camera also has the ability to record with/without the spot light. I chose to use the light, and it does illuminate the area quite nicely so that the video is in full color. The app allows the user to set the brightness as well as the hue of the light.... probably from about 3500K to 6000K. Overall, I like the camera. If you want a true standalone camera that provides great 2k color video, even at night, this camera might work for you... just make sure you can get your WiFi to where it needs to be.

This is hands down the easiest security camera install ever! The eufy Spotlight Cam Pro 2K is a great spotlight security camera that is built well and has a responsive app with no delays. The install including fixing the bracket to the wall took less than 5 minutes (that included removing the old camera) setup: the setup is very straight forward and took about 3 minutes. the app didn;t struggle to find the wifi signal or to connect to it, it actually did it on the first try (be mindful that the app only uses 2GHZ wifi signal) Features: the Eufy is loaded with great features including but not limited to setting up zones, choosing a color profile for low light and night recording, setting a zone to focus on (in case the camera faces a street and you don't want to get bombarded with useless notifications), different light modes from warm to cool, and 2 different video recording profiles. The feature that stood out to me the most is that it tracks faces and snaps a picture of the faces and saves it in case you need a close up in the event of an emergency. battery life is decent and the camera is well priced. looks: the camera protrudes and is very visible as its bigger than your average security camera and heavier, but I dont mind that at all. the spotlight is more than efficient. I would totally recommend this camera.

Out of the many cameras that I have used, the Eufy Spotlight Cam has become my favorite. Video quality is very crisp and clear even in night mode (even without the spotlight). By default, video quality was 2K so I didn't need to make any adjustments. Live feeds are retrieved instantaneously, connection is stable, and app commands execute quickly. The most important feature of any camera is motion detection. I received alerts in a very timely manner when anything abnormal was detected. Battery life is great. However, I feel that this camera is best served in low traffic areas to preserve battery life since the camera must be unscrewed to be charged. Yet, this problem can be mitigated if you decide to charge via solar panel. The size of camera is another great feature as well. It's large enough to capture a wide field of view, but small enough to not be an outside eyesore. Truthfully, I wish I could replace all of my outside cameras with this product.

Just got these to replace my Arlo cameras that now made me pay a subscription fee to view any events other than what was currently being recorded. These are great as far as video quality, detection and sound quality. I would have to charge my old cameras every 6 weeks, I have had these up for 3 months and the battery life is still 60% or better on both of the cameras. The spotlights are very bright and illuminate the whole area near my front porch and garage where I have them mounted. The app is very easy to use and with the 8 gb of local storage I have only used 1/2 of it in 3 months and it doesn't cost me a dime to view my events. When these are on special the pricing is great compared to others. Highly recommended and would buy again
