Eufy Cam 2C Pro 2K Security Kit 4 Pack T8863CD1

Really easy to setup, quality is amazing, even the night time vision. I love the app, I can click on it anytime to see the live view.We've had it for a couple of months now and it's been good so far, however there has been some hiccups.We have the cameras setup for outdoors only. One of them is at the front of the house and the camera is triggered when we're at the front door, car port and main gate. However, one early morning at around 4am, upon returning home, parked my car, opened the gate and entered via the front door, the camera did not pick up this instance at all, which is worrying!Another time, New World delivered groceries and again, the front camera was not triggered, despite the delivery guy entering via the front gate and walking past the front ... MoreReally easy to setup, quality is amazing, even the night time vision.

The range of home security products on the market is quite overwhelming, but I looked at the Eufy range after seeing the image quality and ease of use of a friend's system. We have a small home, and it's reasonably easily covered by just two cameras, but the third makes for a nice spare/backup, or an ad-hoc inside camera when staying away for extended periods (or for pet watching, I guess!). The system is beyond simple to set up, and I love the soundwave based setup of the cameras - they "listen" to a tone emitted by the base station and configure themselves. Voodoo genius! The only issue I've had is around geofencing, which has never been particularly reliable for me on my iPhone, and when coupled with my wife's Android and having it try to ensure we're both home ... MoreThe range of home security products on the market is quite overwhelming, but I looked at the Eufy range after seeing the image quality and ease of use of a friend's system.

I don't think this is a fault of the system though, more a problem of geofencing being unreliable tech in my experience.

Wanting a camera solution without ongoing subscription costs I decided to try out this kit. Unfortunately, the wireless of these is horrible. the connection barely reaches the 10m to the base station with no available options to try and extend the range from the camera to the base station.Pros - so manyBattery life is fantasticresolution is greatnotifications are good, nice and quickmovement detection is great.

Upgraded from a Wyze system, it’s night and day.- Super fast app, it will notify you in plenty of time to surprise couriers delivering to your door.- Recording space is large, had these a couple months and they’ve used ~10% onboard storage.- Range is far superior to Wyze outdoor cams, just works, and works everywhere we’ve put them.- Optional monthly fee is truly optional; it’s basically offsite backups for your recording (which if you’re technical you could probably do yourself as they support a protocol you could stream to a NAS and backup).- Very clear, audio is good, real-time back-forth works if you want to talk to someone.- Geofencing and app notifications are fairly configurable even across multiple phones.- App is easy to use and setup.- Setup of the ... MoreUpgraded from a Wyze system, it’s night and day.- Super fast app, it will notify you in plenty of time to surprise couriers delivering to your door.- Recording space is large, had these a couple months and they’ve used ~10% onboard storage.- Range is far superior to Wyze outdoor cams, just works, and works everywhere we’ve put them.- Optional monthly fee is truly optional; it’s basically offsite backups for your recording (which if you’re technical you could probably do yourself as they support a protocol you could stream to a NAS and backup).- Very clear, audio is good, real-time back-forth works if you want to talk to someone.- Geofencing and app notifications are fairly configurable even across multiple phones.- App is easy to use and setup.- Setup of the units is so easy it could be done by a rhesus macaque - thought I was doing it wrong, but no, it’s actually that simple.- Mounting is a cinch, a kind of friction-based gimbal allows you relative freedom of installation.- Battery life is as claimed, as mentioned they’ve been in a couple months and the lowest cam (most used) is still at 50%. The others are more or less 80-90%.Things you might not like:- Storage isn’t upgradable.- Included light isn’t amazing - you would need alternative lighting to not use IR illumination.

I've had these up and running for about a month. They are pretty good cameras when they work, and the images I receive to my phone are clear. However, they aren't consistent with their detection. When couriers come down the driveway and to the front door sometimes both cameras will detect and send an alert and other times only one of them will. Occasionally neither of them will detect the courier. Also, the one at the front of the house randomly goes off in the middle of the night when a car goes down the street, but it doesn't detect every car that goes down the street at night, just the odd one, and not every night. Not sure why the detection is so variable. I do like the option to have solar panel charging though as it means I don't have to climb ladders to ... MoreI've had these up and running for about a month.

Do not buy wireless security cam

I advise everyone not to buy wireless security cameras. It doesnt serve the purpose. The fact that it doesnt remain charged for more than 2-2.5 months. Its notification was alright until my front door camera stopped picking things up and eventually would miss humans. Also, you wont be able to see the whole picture, I mean whats happened before and after for long enough. You can change the settings to record longer clips but it will drain your batteries quicker. Obviously no 24hr recordings. If anything runs or drives fast it may miss to record it. Happened several times when getting my car out of the garage, it just failed to pick up my car. Scary and not worth it.

Eufy Cam 2C - real AT HOME testing

Excellent value camera system

Excellent product and great value for money, the image quality and the coloured night vision is perfect, the built in spotlight works great. I put the cameras on the four external corners of a 3 bedroom home with no range issues, I also used a 4g mobile broadband router running on a prepaid SIM card paired to the camera system to be able to remote view them as the home doesn’t have broadband. The camera system isn’t data hungry as it stores detections on its internal storage, which you can view at anytime. It also allows live viewing. Overall it’s a great camera system at an affordable price point. I haven’t had any issues yet and don’t believe I will. Setup was very easy, it guides you through the steps and it comes with all the mounting hardware.

Good Clarity

Easy to set up. Good value. Nice clear picture. The app works well, easy to navigate. Overall very impressed. The motion detection isn't perfect, but works fairly well, and provides peace of mind being able to remotely view from your phone. Limited range of motion on the supplied mounts - no great drama but worth noting for the install. All in all, can't go wrong for the money. To get higher quality footage you would most likely require much more expensive hard wired systems, I'm unaware of any in this price range that exceed these cameras. If you are concerned about missing recordings while the power is out (eg power out, WiFi cuts out), consider the more expensive elongated version with individual storage to negate this. Thumbs up from me.

Good quality home surveillance system!

Bought it for my home to see my home while I am away on leave. Anker is great brand! The cameras are nicely finished and got waterproof/splash proof coating on the lens. Installation and then pairing with the home base was super easy. The cameras took approximately 3 hours to get fully charged. All cameras detect any motion and send me an instant message with a recorded video clip. In the night, if I want, I can put the flash on through the app to see the colours. Otherwise, the night view is in black and white. Overall I m satisfied with my purchase. I had to pay $20 less as I had concierge credit. The sales team was awesome and helpful.
