eufyCam 2C 2-Cam Kit Security Camera Outdoor Wireless Home Security System with 180-Day Battery Life, HomeKit Compatibility, 1080p HD, IP67, Night Vision, No Monthly Fee

Great camera system and really easy to set up and customise. Bought this kit while it was on offer as I've been looking for two cameras to cover my rear garden / summer house and front drive. I wanted a system that could record and save video, but without having to pay a monthly subscription and stumbled on these. So simple to set up and connect and the app is really good. There are a lot of custom settings which did everything I wanted, and the video quality it brilliant. I can easily recognise faces and read car number plates without any issue. Can't comment on battery life just yet as havnt had them long enough to see what thays like but I'm not worried. The cameras are easy to take down and charge so can't see that being an issue. I'm going to replace my ring doorbell with one that links into this system so I can have the recording features without having to pay for a subscription. The hub can store 15 gig of data internally, but it has a USB port on the back which let's you connect USB storage. I had a spare 64 gig stick I added and that will be more than enough storage for my needs. Love the feature where you can specify an area that the camera picks up motion. When I first put the camera on I got alerts when ever a person walked past my drive on the path, but i edited the detection area (which does not restrict the view) and now the camera ignores people unless they stray onto my drive which is exactly what I wanted. Great system.

Purchased the other week and so far I am happy with the experience. Only thing is there’s about 3 seconds delay and despite me selecting ‘humans only’ for detection, it picks up my dogs. The installation is simple, it is WiFi connected so no drilling through the house and the picture is clear. When speaking into the app, it comes across a little distorted through the camera, with delays. I’m not too fussed as the purpose is not to speak through it, but to act as CCTV. The app is simple to navigate, but again, slight delays. You can share across devices, you can even download videos. I have noticed one bar on the battery life has gone down already on one camera, but we are heavily using the garden with the lovely weather, so I keep turning this off whilst at home. I saw another poster mention this too but the battery life stayed like that for another few months without reducing still, so hoping it’s the same. - UPDATE 15/7/25 - having to charge as it was running low - notifications prompted. Overall, decent setup and I would recommend it.

I so much wanted to like this. It was great. Easy setup, easy everything. Picture was great, everything great. Well, almost everything. Shame you can only put 2 privacy zones on each cam and they have to be 4-sided boxes. You get 3 detection zones on each cam and they have to be 4-sided boxes too so it's not great but it doesn't really matter as the detection zones are ignored by the system anyway. But the major downside - I couldn't connect to the cams when on mobile data. Wifi was perfect but not mobile data. And that's really one of the main points of having security cameras. Eufy customer services were completely useless. Took them 3 days to tell me that this was an unusual problem so had to get the specialists to look into it. Meanwhile a quick google showed me hundreds of people with the same problem going back years and Eufy had not fixed the issue (and some had also been told that their case was unique). The thing is though, it worked fine on my wife's phone, just not mine. Same carrier, different phone makes. From my research it looked to be something to do with phones that have dual sim capability. So either I had to go and buy a new phone just to connect to the cams or return the cams. Sadly I opted for the latter and said goodbye. So whilst I do recommend buying this, just make sure you can connect over mobile data before you start drilling into your house walls. On the positive side, whilst testing the cams, I saw the top of my head and was dismayed to see the progression of my balding was far far worse than I thought so bit the bullet, shaved my head and feel loads better for it.

Bought this in 2024 , easy set up and easy to mount the cameras, I have since added 2 more cameras , they hold a charge well and are easy to take off the mount and charge indoors only takes a few hours to fully charge, im also going to add the eufy doorbell cam and chime, great product 100% recommend.

Excellent value for money, really easy to set up and install. Quality camera images and plenty of options on the setup, No subscriptions

First thing to mention is just how simple and easy this system is to setup and install. I can honestly say it went like a dream... I bought 4 cameras and the hardest part was waiting for a couple of hours for them to fully charge! Setup is just a few short steps... 1) Install the app on your phone 2) Power on the base, plug the network cable (RJ45) from the base into the back of your router, scan the QR code on the base Within the app 3) follow the “Really Simple” camera additions in the app You literally add the device in the app, place the camera next to the base and press the sync button 4) Update the firmware using the app (one click update) 5) Select which mode you prefer (Better surveillance or better battery life - I went for better surveillance) 6) Charge the battery 🤪 7) Pick where you want to install the camera, use the template to drill two holes and screw in the “Base cap” of the camera mount 8) Screw the camera onto the mount, screw the mount on to the base cap and using the live feed on your phone, position for optimal picture.. Actual installation only took me about an hour for 4 cameras (Charging the batteries aside).. Video feed looks great and the App is really simple, capturing all motion videos per camera.. Still playing around with the app to see the other interesting features for my liking and I’m sure time will tell on the battery life, however really pleased with this setup.. UPDATE - After 39 days, one camera ran out of battery and needs to be re-charged. Yes it’s the busiest camera and after the initial period of use here’s what I’ve found - There’s the good and the bad...The good- Yes it’s easy to setup, yes it’s a good deterrent, yes you can hold a two way conversation live streaming however..... See the stats I’ve posted in the picture, in optimal surveillance mode, the battery only lasted 39 Days and I have to say, it does not capture all events, there has been times when people have walked past and was captured by my other two cameras, however was missed on this one. It seems to miss the recording when the person is only there for a quick moment, as the recording cannot capture quick enough... I believe this is more a problem with the full wireless setup, so if you want full surveillance all the time, skip looking at a wireless setup..

We have been using this now for about a month. So here is our thoughts on this product. setup: Setup is pretty easy took about 30 minutes. Maybe the odd question was worded a bit weird, even rebooted for a firmware update -- but top marks on this. installing the cameras is super simple, except they dont have an angled or ceiling mount for some reason. Again didnt bother us but you might need to jerryrig a solution there. Cameras: in the pack is 2 cameras. The charge is supposed to last i believe 6 months. that i think is pretty wishful thinking on the part of Eufy. we fully charged the cameras (as requested in the installation) and it has dropped 1 pip on the battery bar in one month. Keep in mind our cameras are in the most heavily trafficked areas (front and back door) so they are pretty much pinging all day. i would guess charge every 3 months ( i will post here on first mandated recharge). only other possible concern might be the distance the camera could be from the base station. if you had a house with a lot of thick walls and long distances you might have an issue with camera connecting, but thats me guessing. Motion Detection: we have set the person setting on, ie only record when a person was moving. Well maybe where we live cats look like people because we have one cat in particular, religiously setting this off at 4am every night. Could i reduce a star for that, well yeah, but does anyone seriously believe all that, i certainly didnt. i am sure it does work, just not in the way i thought. it can pick up faces which is very interesting, that does work surprisingly well. It is also good on identifying motion, that particular cat is on the extreme side of the motion area and it always catches the movement. One other small quirk i noticed, in night vision mode it doesnt sense a motion activated light that goes on and technically should switch off the night vision, not a big issue but perhaps an update will fix small issues like this. Performance (movement to phone alert): this is where i have to say the system is pretty impressive. it takes around 5-6ish seconds to receive a notification. we have a pretty bog standard driveway ( 2 cars almost fit) and from the time i am in the catchment area of the camera to hitting the front step -- i receive a notification. we did try the press to talk function. it works fairly well, voice is a bit tinny sounding but it definitely workable if you were reluctant to open your door and the camera microphone is very good. in this live interaction camera session its about half a second delay for us- definitely usable. They also have geo fencing which is pretty cool when we both leave it activates. Reliability: this was replacing an older onvir based system of ip cameras which was buggy on its best day. the Eufy system has been flawless in this regard, 100% reliable. we even had a extremely rare power cut, the base unit just reconnected to everything automatically. Also because it stores the files locally there is none of the hidden monthly cloud charges involved . also if there was activity you need to record you can pull that to your phone. Overall: have to say, we are super impressed. their app works and looks good also btw, the interface to apple phones is also pretty easy (you can use apple own home setup to take camera feeds). The mark i try to use on products like this is 'would i buy it again?' the answer to this is a resounding yes, hence the 5 stars. Sure its got the odd white lie in the marketing (dont they all?) but i am willing to ignore that for the many many other benefits. So if you were on the fence on this, i would say if you were to jump to this, you are very unlikely to regret it. Jan 4th EDIT 2nd attempt, last edit bombed out and it was worded way way better than this edit ;) So happy New Year all. Firstly the cameras are still on one pip on the battery icon. That is pretty darn impressive to me. I will let them run out or at least red line before charging and if there is any further info i will add here. It is worth noting that the front and rear cameras are both on one pip even though the front would be used more. There is some educated guesses you could make here on how the backend system works but it would be speculation. I suspect the batteries will age in a bit as they cycle through their lifespan but at the moment -- way way better than i expected originally. Motion detection: this is still tripped by the cat (system configured to people recognition). she had changed her schedule a bit so there is that. Notification time: one thing i thought i should add. i mentioned about it took the length of an average driveway before my phone pinged. I had a think about this and my phone is going through a whole series of 'things' as i walk towards the door, not least of which is trying to connect to wifi. Im sure that is delaying the notifications by a small amount. Final Thoughts: you know whats best about this? it just works. its now just part of our house, like a tv or fridge or your mobile device. it just works. i have not had to login to reboot, tweak, update, modify, or worst of all (and we have all done this) had to explain to family members how whats happening is a feature not a bug (onvir wifi cameras im looking at you). This system just works and honestly much and all as i love fidgeting with IT stuff, there is something really refreshing about software and hardware like this that just does what it says on the tin. Could it be better, yes but its the ole 80/20 rule now for Eufy i suspect where they have all of the basics done right now comes all the bells and whistles and trinkets...nice to have but not critical. So we would still buy this again. Very impressed with it resilience (no reboots, no resets etc). Its what we wanted here, something that is 'set and forget'. Pretty sure we all want that or if not all, then the vast majority of people want. of you are a bit of a security camera expert and love doing the latest mods, then this is probably not for you. of you want something that just works; well all we can say is (as per the first review of this), would we rebuy?-- yep we definitely would.

These cameras are brilliant. Good clear picture both day and night. Battery life is good too. Only had to charge one of the cameras once in the2 months they have been up. That particular cameras is extremely busy as it points to the back door which is in constant use. Easy to setup and install.

Très faciles à installer . Duree des batteries entre 3 mois (hiver) et 5 mois ( été ). Ravi de la qualité et de l’application qui permet de gérer des caméras supplémentaires pour un prix très raisonnable !

Hace unos meses que adquirí 2 camaras con el homebase y la verdad es que estoy muy contenta. La imagen me parece suficientemente buena, tanto de dia com de noche. Se activa la luz de la camara si está oscuro, este punto a mi me gusta cuando llego o me voy a oscuras. Integradas con alexa, por lo que si tienes un echo show puedes pedirle que te muestre la imagen por voz Se puede activar que los echo (todos, aunque no tengan camara) avisen por voz cuando se detecta movimiento. La app funciona muy bien, es agil, intuitiva y puedes recibir avisos en el movil cuando se detecta el movimiento. Puedes ver la camara en directo también e incluso activar la luz si es de noche. Se pueden configurar escenas, por ejemplo, si la exterior detecta movimiento que se active la grabación de la camara de dentro durante un tiempo determinado. La configuración e instalación de las camaras es muy sencilla. Esteticamente a mi me gustan, me parecen discretas y no desentonan. Otro aspecto positivo es que no es necesario pagar el cloud y se graba en el homebase. En una terraza tengo una Ring y el dia que se estropee la reemplazare por una de estas. Totalmente satisfecha con la compra

Jestem tak zadowolony ze zdecydowalem sie dalej rozbudowywac system o kolejne kamery. Bateria trzyma naprawde dlugo

ممتازة للبيوت وشحنها يجلس شهرين إلى ثلاثة حسب الحركة عند البيت، عيبها دقتها عادية اذا كان يهمك تشوف رقم لوحة السيارة مثلاً!!

Sia l'hub che le telecamere sono facilissima da installare. Sono piccole, eleganti e robuste - me n'è caduta una da 3 metri di altezza mentre la stavo installando e funziona benissimo. Io le uso con Homekit di Apple e sono un portento! Si possono vedere le telecamere in diretta da tutti i dispositivi Apple, inclusa Apple TV, pertanto possono essere utilizzate come videcitofono se ne mettete una all'ingresso. Le telecamere, oltre ad avere i microfoni, hanno anche gli altoparlanti quindi potete usarle come videocitofono dal cellulare (o spaventare i ladri...) Anche l'hub ha l'altoparlante che può fungere da allarme. Le immagini sono nitide e non scattano. La visione notturna è ottima, se sono puntate su una strada con le luci dei lampioni non serve perchè si vede bene comunque. Oltre a registrare qualunque movimento e mandare notifiche sul telefono (disabilitabile) registra video da 20-60 secondi. Per questa funzionalità non c'è bisogno di pagare un abbonamento perchè tiene tutto in memoria l'hub. Inoltre si possono configurare delle zone di attività. Essendo grandangolari potreste riprendere passaggi pedonali che vi farebbero scattare notifiche e registrare centinaia di video al giorno, ma potete selezionare il perimetro di rilevamento così da essere avvisati solo quando qualcuno è effettivamente dentro l'area che vi interessa controllare. Ci sono delle funzionalità che credo non siano pubblicizzate ma che sono molto utili: - se si utilizza Apple, si può agganciare il sistema allo storage di iCloud pertanto lo spazio a disposizione passa da quello interno di 16GB a quello di iCloud che va dai 50GB gratuiti ai 2TB. - il sensore di movimento delle telecamere può essere utilizzato per fare automazione di altri device smart. Per esempio potete far accendere la luce d'ingresso quando la telecamera dell'ingresso rileva un movimento. - sempre con Apple, potete collegare la libreria del riconoscimento dei volti alle telecamere così che sappiano automaticamente se siete voi quelli rilevati o altri e comportarsi di conseguenza Per quanto riguarda le batterie, ho fatto un rapido conto dopo averle usate per una settimana a consumo elevato (nessuna zona di rilevamento quindi registrando tutta la visione grandangolare, streaming diverse volte al giorno, visione notturna, registrazione di centinaia di video al giorno, etc.) e quanto indicato dalla compagnia risulta un dato corretto: 5-6 mesi. Credo quindi che con un utilizzo normale possano durare ben oltre l'hanno. Comunque si ricaricano con il loro cavo USB incluso nel giro di un paio d'ore o meno. In definitiva, se configurate bene sono sicuramente uno dei migliori prodotti smart in commercio, con un prezzo irrisorio rispetto a quello che fanno. Davvero un ottimo prodotto.
