Another good product from Eufy, with a few caveats

We have several Eufy products that have all exceeded expectation, while providimg unmatched value. Our other outdoor cameras from Eufy are electic, however we needed a third in an area without electricity and without access to the sun for solar power. This camera fits the need well. The spotlight is much brighter than expected but allows you to decrease it as desired which is a bonus. My only qualm, and reason for the star reduction, is that the camera does not offer 24/7 recording like other Eufy products. True, I should have realized that a battery camera can not provide such a power intensive option as 24/7 recording but alas I did not think of it or come across it in my prior research. Otherwise the camera works the same as all other Eufy cameras. The battery lasts well so far although I assume the cold of winter will accelerate its drain (science at work). Regardless, I dont think it'll be detrimemtal to its use. Lastly, know that the motion sensor options for this camera are two; human only, or all motion. There is no human and animal option like on their other cameras, which is a disappointment.
Quick Tip: I will say that the "optimal" option that the product defaults to uses AI to determine when to start and stop recording. The spot light triggers based on motion detection. So while this optimal setting might save battery life, it does so at the sudden and frequent flashing of the spotlight on and off as the computer chip works to determine if motion is human or not. We adjusted ours to the custom setting at 45seconds with 5sec between recordings and turned off the 'stop recording early if motion is no longer detected'. This ensures the light stays on from initial motion until we are at the door.

Clear picture is all the positive things I can say about the camera. I set the motion detection zone 5-7 feet off from side walk in front of house, human type selected, and set level 3 for sensitivity but it still detects moving vehicles 15-20 feet off from sidewalk and kept on sending alerts to my phone. Gets quite annoying.

This product is reliable and bright! The quality of the camera is very clear and goes straight to the app on my phone. I feel very confident that my hluae is safer with this on my garage. Battery holds for about 3 months and then quickly recharges.

Quality is great, and the features of it being wireless is a plus. The battery lasts for a long time. Only downside is the response to motion and movement. It usually takes a couple of seconds to start recording. Also it doesn’t really capture movement from a desirable distance. It usually recognizes the movement once it’s closer to the camera. I tried all the adjustments but the response remains the same.

I must say the video quality is amazing. The best thing is it is wireless. You can install this camera anywhere and access the feed from anywhere. The response time is great too. Internal memory and no subscription. I have been using this camera for a month now and every time I click it responds and the battery is still at 79%.

Purchased in addition to the 2C camera. Much better images (but that is to be expected). Easy to use, The spotlight is bright. It captures squirrels (and cats) that trigger the motion sensor (I have it set that way). The audio is better and clearer than the 2c version. I plan to add 1-2 more around my property.

This eufy camera is awesome! I love it! The clarity is well! The app is easy to use and can install different cameras to the same app for different homes. I would love to put more of these around my home and my 2nd home. The battery usage could be a bit better. I charge it once a month. But it does get triggered a lot because of the setting I have it on.

This is a wonderful product - I've been using it for 6 months now and no issues. The only area of improvement I would ask for is the live cam audio - I've used it a couple of times and it has been choppy and difficult for the person on the other side to hear. But overall, the picture quality (even at night) and audio pickup on the camera is phenomenal! Great product from Eufy!

I like this eufy wireless camera so much I got another of the same! It was a bit of a task to sync to WiFi, but after that was done, it’s been great. The 2k video is very clear. The best part: it records clips to an on board card so I don’t have to pay any fees to use it! They do offer plans, but they’re not necessary with this camera. Yeah!! I can see those recordings on my phone and I can drop in and see via the camera whenever I want to. I can hear them, talk to them and there’s a light if you want and there is an alarm you can set off to scare an intruder away. I caught this on sale but even not on sale this is a good all-around security camera. Highly recommend.

Has a great image. Gives faster alerts then my arlo. Bright light and the audo is clear and loud. The only thing I dont like is the motion detecting is more accurate closer up then farther away. So make sure that motion detection is around 15-25 feet away to pick up further detection on the camera.
