eufy Security eufyCam 2C Wireless Home Security Add-on Camera, Requires HomeBase 2, 180-Day Battery Life, HD 1080p, No Monthly Fee

I had already installed a hub and two cameras for outdoor surveillance and decided I needed a third camera. The eufyCam 2C is a good value camera and is easy to install. It does not require any hard wiring. The camera picture is crystal clear and battery life is about 6 months. Recharging is easy, you just use a lead and plug it into the hub for a few hours. This is a great system and installation instructions are easy to follow.

I have used a Eufy system for 3 years now, 3 cameras and a doorbell, and for a subscription free service they have worked great. The 2C cameras have a good image, I have no problem recognising people who trigger the camera despite them being mounted high on my house, night vision works really great, movement detection has good adjustments so you won't get notifications at every movement. The system is easy to set up, connecting additional cameras is quick and trouble free. Battery life is surprisingly good despite my cameras being activated a few times a day. The spotlight function is reasonable in dark areas and being able to speak through individual cameras is useful. There are plenty of customisation settings to tailor your security needs and ensure you only record the things you want to see. The downsides, the app can sometimes be sluggish to use although they seem to update it frequently. Notifications on my phone when away from home can take a few minutes to come through (this may be down to my phone rather than the Eufy system). And one camera has a slightly shorter battery life than the other cameras, hence the purchase of this as a replacement, although I find this acceptable after a full 3 years of use. The camera still works fine other than needing charging more frequently than the others.

I bought 2 EufyCam 2s (a bundle with the relevant Homebase) and an additional EufyCam 2C. I initially had an issue with the 2C in that it was intermittently glitching and, after I'd eliminated connection, positioning and interference issues, I contacted Eufy. The customer service I received from their Support Team was excellent and very prompt (this was the second time I contacted them on unrelated matters and both times the customer service was flawless). They really did go the extra mile, despite the Coronavirus lockdown, to ensure that I received a replacement immediately and I am pleased to say that all cameras are now up and running and everything is working well so far. The set up was extremely easy, and so far I am very pleased with the movement responses and pictures of all of the cameras. I did have to do some initial tweaks to the postions of the cameras to eliminate some bokeh to the picture at night but this was easily remedied by angling the camera down and away from the soffit slightly (I think it was caused by the LED bouncing off the soffit). I think Eufy is relatively new but they do seem to be making regular updates to the app to include new features as well as improving performance. I've only just scratched the surface with using the features within the app and haven't been using it for long, but it seems easy to use and intuitive. Features in the app include a smart detection feature which mentions human detection, facial detection, facial recognition, pet detection and crying detection - I haven't explored these yet so can't comment in detail except to say that I have one of the cameras set on the highest sensitivity setting and, as well as capturing all human, vehicle and other big movement, it has captured an inquisitive bee and tree sparrow that flew near the camera, and a pine marten(!) and a cat (both at night) that passed the camera at ground level about 20ft away. A close up screen shot of the face of a human visitor is included with the relevant footage, although the faces can be a bit blurry. The geofencing feature is useful as you can draw the areas you want to monitor (so, for example, I've drawn an area that excludes the bit around the outlet to my boiler otherwise the movement of the steam sets the camera off, and I've also excluded a couple of bushes that move when it's windy otherwise they set it off). Everything that is captured can be stored on the homebase rather than in the cloud so there is no need for extra cloud subscriptions if you don't want them (although it looks like that option is also on there if you want it). There are various alarm settings to choose from (home, away, disarmed, geofencing, schedule and you can also create a custom one). There's also a snooze feature which is very useful if the cameras are armed but you need to pop past the camera for a short time (perhaps useful if you have forgotten to let the dog out or put the bin out and don't want to mess around with changing the alarm settings). Alexa integration is basic and in beta at the moment (there's also Google Assistant and Homekit integration but I can't comment on those as I don't use them) so I look forward to more Alexa/IFTTT integration features in the future. For example, I'd like Alexa to tell me that a camera has been triggered (at the moment I can only get a notification chime which I keep missing) and I'd also like to be able to arm and disarm by voice so that I don't have to mess around in the app when I'm going out the door with an armful of stuff. I'm sure this will come later (especially as it was advertised on earlier packaging and docs) and this would make the whole thing perfect for my needs. So overall, I'm extremely pleased with the kit (more Alexa/IFTTT integration would make it perfect), and given my previous experience of their Support Team I am completely confident that if I have another query or issue it will be sorted promptly and efficiently. We need more companies like this one who take customer service really seriously and don't just sell a product and run.

I have a simple system with 2 of these cameras and a Homebase unit. All was fine for many months, until one of the cameras developed a fault. I emailed the support desk, and initially was pleasantly surprised how quickly I got a response. I should have been suspicious ... After lots of time and wasted emails back and forth, it turned out I was talking to an AI support system, which didn't understand the problem and left me increasingly frustrated. I'd avoid this company until they sort out their customer support. Update: I got a contact from human Customer Support after posting the above review, and offered a full refund. So maybe things are improving again ...

Great little outdoor camera This camera provides a very clear image during the day and night, considering its only 1080p resolution. The motion detection for person and vehicle is amazing and has very few false recognitions. The lights on it while not immensely bright are enough to light up a person and provide ambient light. We use it to give some light on the driveway when reversing up the drive at night. The sound quality is good and picks up quiet noises o As well. The speak is enough to make your voice heard and is clear. Overall an amazingittle camera at a very reasonable price to add to your security.

Really happy with this camera! Setup was super quick and it connected to the HomeBase and Apple HomeKit with no issues at all. The video and sound quality is sharp minimal lag but will depend upon your base location I moved mine 3 times to find the best location that worked for me and the motion detection works well. Only thing to note is the battery, while advertised as long-lasting, I’ve found it needs recharging every 2–3 weeks with moderate use. Not a dealbreaker for me, but worth knowing. Overall, a great value camera that’s easy to use and reliable!

I've been using eufyCams and Homebase 2's for some time now and just added another eufyCam 2c to my system. I have two Homebase's, one for front of house and one for the back of house and garage, and a total of 7 cameras. I have found them very reliable both inside and outside (mine are protected with black waterproof covers) and easy to monitor through the original eufy app. They last a reasonable amount of time before they need recharging (depending on the number of activations) via the provided USB leads. I manage them by clearing harmless activations every day or so, via the app to prevent a large accumulation of files. Easy to monitor with the app when away from home and notifications also received. The last camera purchased is not going to have a permanent position so it can be used to monitor in different locations in the house, wifi signals are quite strong and it's easy again to check the signal via the app.

We have a number of these dotted around our property. Easy to use and install and recharge when in use. The system it is attached to works well on an app on your phone. You get audio as well as visual recordings, with notifications if needed. There is also a feature on the app and device to speak through the camera whilst in use. This is an easy surveillance system to use, with no additional costs other than charging. No need to wire, just charge off mains before installation, which is a simple drilled hole to attached to your desired spot. The camera head pivots which enables the user to modify its position once installed, this is by hand only, not remote once installed place. Great buy.

Ik heb 3 sets eufy camera’s model 2c. Het zijn eenvoudige camera’s maar met een goed beeld voor een zeer schappelijke prijs. Je kunt praten met degene die in je tuin staat, kleine filmpjes opnemen, een alarm laten loeien etc. Gebruik deze camera’s nu zo’n 5 jaar. Van de 10 camera’s is er maar één stuk gegaan in al die tijd. En die hing vlak bij de kust waar het waait en de lucht zout en vochtig is.

J'ai récemment ajouté la eufyCam 2C à ma configuration de sécurité, en complément de la Home Base 2, et je suis très satisfait de ses performances générales. Cette caméra est idéale pour sécuriser mon domicile, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur, et offre plusieurs avantages qui en font un excellent choix. [Installation facile et rapide] L’installation de la eufyCam 2C est vraiment simple. Grâce à l'application eufy Security, j'ai pu la configurer rapidement et la synchroniser avec ma Home Base 2. L’ensemble du processus est intuitif et ne nécessite pas de connaissances techniques spécifiques. Le fait que la caméra soit sans fil est un atout majeur, car cela permet de l’installer facilement sans avoir à gérer des câbles. Une fois la caméra fixée à l'emplacement choisi (que ce soit à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur), elle est immédiatement opérationnelle. Le support fourni est solide, et la caméra reste bien en place même dans des conditions extérieures difficiles. [Qualité d'image] La eufyCam 2C offre une qualité d'image HD 1080p, ce qui permet de voir clairement ce qui se passe dans les zones surveillées. Bien que la qualité d’image soit bonne, elle n'est pas exceptionnelle. Elle est néanmoins suffisante pour identifier les détails importants, comme des visages ou des mouvements, dans des environnements bien éclairés. [Détection humaine intelligente] L'un des aspects les plus utiles de cette caméra est son système de détection humaine. Contrairement à d'autres caméras qui alertent pour n'importe quel mouvement, celle-ci est capable de distinguer les formes humaines des autres objets ou animaux. Cela permet d'éviter les fausses alertes, ce qui est un grand avantage. Dans mon cas, les notifications envoyées par l'application ne se déclenchent que lorsqu'une personne est détectée à proximité de mon domicile, et non à chaque mouvement de branches ou d’animaux errants. La précision de la détection est excellente, et elle permet de garder un œil sur ce qui est vraiment important. De plus, les alertes arrivent presque instantanément sur mon smartphone, me permettant de réagir rapidement en cas d'intrusion. [Autonomie] Un des atouts majeurs de la eufyCam 2C est son autonomie. La caméra fonctionne pendant 180 jours avec une seule charge, ce qui est très impressionnant. Cette autonomie est idéale pour des installations extérieures, notamment dans des endroits difficiles d'accès où il serait contraignant de devoir recharger régulièrement l'appareil. Depuis que j'ai installé mes caméras, je n’ai eu à m'inquiéter ni de la batterie ni de l’entretien. L'application mobile me permet de vérifier l’état de la batterie à tout moment et m'alerte avant qu'il soit nécessaire de la recharger. La recharge elle-même est rapide, et la caméra est prête à reprendre du service en peu de temps. [Résistance aux intempéries] Une autre caractéristique qui m’a séduit est la résistance aux intempéries de la eufyCam 2C. Grâce à son indice de protection IP67, elle est conçue pour résister à toutes les conditions météorologiques. Je l’ai installée à l'extérieur pour surveiller mon jardin, et elle a résisté à des pluies fortes ainsi qu’à des vents violents sans aucun problème. Cette robustesse en fait une caméra idéale pour une utilisation en extérieur, que ce soit pour surveiller l’entrée principale, un jardin ou un garage. Vous pouvez l'installer en toute confiance, sachant qu'elle continuera à fonctionner quelles que soient les conditions météorologiques. [Sécurité et stockage des données] Le stockage des vidéos est une autre fonctionnalité intéressante de la eufyCam 2C. Contrairement à de nombreuses caméras de sécurité, elle ne dépend pas d’un service cloud payant. Vous pouvez choisir de stocker les enregistrements localement, ce qui est non seulement plus économique, mais aussi plus sécurisé. Les vidéos sont stockées directement sur la Home Base 2, ce qui permet d’éviter des frais d’abonnement supplémentaires et de garantir que les données sont conservées en toute sécurité chez vous. Les vidéos sont également chiffrées de bout en bout, garantissant que personne d’autre ne pourra y accéder, même si vous choisissez de stocker vos données dans le cloud. Pour ceux qui, comme moi, tiennent à leur vie privée, c'est un élément rassurant. [Application intuitive] L'application eufy Security est très simple à utiliser et permet de contrôler plusieurs caméras simultanément. Elle offre de nombreuses options de personnalisation, notamment la possibilité de configurer des zones spécifiques de détection et des plages horaires où vous souhaitez recevoir des notifications. Cela permet d’adapter le fonctionnement de la caméra à vos besoins spécifiques, en fonction de vos habitudes quotidiennes. Vous pouvez également consulter les enregistrements directement depuis l'application, ainsi que visualiser le flux en direct. La navigation est fluide, et toutes les fonctionnalités sont accessibles en quelques clics. Il est également possible d'intégrer plusieurs caméras à la même interface, ce qui facilite la surveillance de plusieurs zones en même temps. [Conclusion] En résumé, la eufyCam 2C est une caméra de sécurité fiable et performante, adaptée aussi bien à un usage intérieur qu’extérieur. Son installation facile, son autonomie exceptionnelle, et sa résistance aux intempéries en font une solution idéale pour la sécurisation de votre domicile. La détection humaine permet de réduire les fausses alertes, et la possibilité de stocker les vidéos localement sans abonnement est un vrai plus. Bien que la qualité d’image ne soit pas la meilleure du marché, elle reste suffisamment bonne pour la plupart des usages. Je recommande vivement cette caméra à tous ceux qui recherchent une solution de surveillance simple à mettre en place, sans compromis sur la sécurité et les fonctionnalités.
