I will not pretend to know everything about camera/security systems. All I can do is compare what I have. Somehow I've ended up with 3 different systems in my house, lol. I have Eufy (my first system), Mother's Day my son bought me a blink set that included a doorbell cam, and then my daughter talked me into a ring doorbell after the blink finked out and would not connect to my wifi. I bought the Eufy almost 3 years ago when moving into our current home, I bought it based off reviews. Compared to blink, it's pricey, but wow is it worth it. After about a month, blink lost connection with my network and we tried forever to get it back. I could not get it, so I bought the Ring Camera doorbell (my daughter suggested it, but really I should have gotten a Eufy). Then somehow, we got the blink connected again, and during that time we hooked up the Ring doorbell. Then the power went out. blink and Ring go offline and I had to reconnect them again. This has happened more than once since installing them. However, Eufy, in the almost three years I've had it ALWAYS reconnects on its own. Not once have I had to reconnect the cameras. Also, the video quality is excellent, out of the three systems, Eufy is hands down the best video, especially for distance, it's so clear with no blur. Night vision is awesome as well. I get the notifications right away and when I go to the dashboard, it comes up quickly. I recently emailed Eufy to see what kind of solar panel I could attach to my driveway cam as it gets lots of action, and while the batteries last a long time, that one drains faster. I received a response right away with what was compatible, and after I got it, it was pretty easy to install. So out of the three systems I have, Eufy is number one hands down. Ring is good too, except going offline when disconnected is really irritating. blink, don't waste your money.

Everything about this Eufy camera system works exactly as described. Setup was fast and smooth—honestly not sure why some other reviews complain about it. I had zero issues getting all four cameras connected and up and running in no time. The new HomeBase with expandable storage is a major win. I installed a 5TB hard drive and it’s been working flawlessly—plenty of space for continuous recording without any subscription fees. The 4K video quality is excellent—crisp, clear, and detailed. I haven’t experienced any connection drops or lags, and the 8x digital zoom is surprisingly good—I can clearly read license plates from about 70 feet away. Color night vision works really well, too, giving you more detail than traditional infrared-only systems. AI features like facial and package recognition actually work well, and the system keeps improving over time. The only downside I’ve run into is the lack of finer notification control. I wish I could disable alerts for the indoor cameras (like when we’re home) but still keep them recording. Some sort of geofencing-based privacy mode would be amazing—have the indoor cameras stop monitoring when we’re home, and re-activate when we leave. The app itself is generally great—easy to view footage and manage alerts—but the way you reorder cameras is clunky and not intuitive at all. Eufy could definitely streamline the settings menus. Battery life is impressive and lives up to the claim, but for hard-to-reach areas (like under the eaves), I’d recommend adding a solar panel or wiring them in to avoid climbing up every few months. Also worth noting—it integrates well with Google Home, and I haven’t had a single issue using voice commands or live streaming to smart displays. Overall, this is an excellent system for the price—feature-rich, no monthly fees, and highly customizable. With a few software tweaks, it could easily be perfect.

I bought these a couple months ago to replace a set of Arlo cameras after getting annoyed that they started charging a monthly fee for their services. Eufy had what I wanted with a good quality resolution cameras, local storage, and a number of AI features. First, the good - - super easy setup - great quality camera resolution with enough settings (ie. Spotlight, night vision settings, activity zones, etc). The recording attached is from the middle of the night with only the camera spotlight providing the light, and it’s still good quality. - long battery life (after 2 months I still have 70%+ in all cameras, including some that record frequently - the local storage is great. Even with just the included storage, I have more than I need to record multiple months. When accessing old recordings, it’s super fast to pull them up and play them, which was an issue with some other camera sets I tried (like TP- Link Tapo cameras with onboard storage) - the app is easy to use and seems reliable - I have tested geolocation options which worked well, but also scheduled options and the camera accurately changes modes in both settings - No subscription fees! The areas for improvement: - the app doesn’t allow you to mix scheduling and geolocation modes, so if you wanted to put it on a schedule when you are Home, and arm all cameras when you are Away that’s not an option for you - the AI isnt great - while I like being able to name the people in footage, Eufy doesn’t often recognize them in the future. It’s not a big deal as the camera still recognizes its a Person, but just cannot tell me who without some time. Overall, I would still highly recommend these for someone looking for a subscription-free, high quality cameras set. Buy when they are on sale and save yourself $150-200 of the list price.

I purchased these Cameron on a clearance deal and I am not disappointed though. I need to add some solar panels to regularly charge the battery on the wireless units to keep them charged. It is not recommended to record constantly using these cameras as it will run the internal battery charge down rather quickly. Easy to install and set up. The image is of high quality at 4K. The audio works pretty well and you can speak through your phone's microphone and hear back through your phone as well from the camera speaker. Overall very quality cameras and on clearance it was a great deal. You can also expand the storage for your videos if you so choose.

What a nice surprise, this system is better that I thought it would be. I decided to wait awhile to review it until I saw how it performed. If you are thinking of buying a Eufy product this how mine is set up, I hope this is helpful. I have one camera at my front door of my town home which is cramped vision wise, the other is at the rear door which more conventional. I do have cable high speed internet, the signal from the home base has to pass through one interior and one exterior wall, it is conventional construction with vinyl siding. Both cameras show full signal. The home base is Ethernet connected. The system has been up and running for 115 days, the front door has had 1017 events and the rear 887. The detection lapse to alert is 3 to 5 seconds. The picture quality is fantastic day or night. I just switched to full time charging but when I did the batteries were still showing 78% after the 115 days.. Some things I have learned since I installed the system. Their detection zone feature is great, it solved my cramped situation at the front allowing me to shape the detection zone. If you want to expand your storage and not invest in a expensive larger hard drive you can put a flash drive in the #1 USB port in the home base. A hint on storage, go through your events daily and delete those you don't need to save. I mentioned I went to full time charging, I have a outdoor receptacle near each camera, I bought the waterproof box cover, cable and chargers from Amazon. The charger I used is a Nekmit, it is flush mount, has a ground plug and appears to be sealed very well, it charged up the batteries in a few hours and is keeping them at full charge. One last comment, Eufy customer service, I have only had to use it twice for advice, their Live Chat line is great, they really know what they are talking about, they will even send you a transcript via email if you want. I hope this was helpful

I really wanted to like the Eufy HomeBase 3. On paper, it promises to be a powerful hub for Eufy’s security ecosystem—offering advanced AI features, expanded storage, and “smart” recognition. In practice, it’s a borderline disaster. Let’s start with the much-touted AI facial recognition. It is so bad that it borders on comedy. The system routinely misidentifies the hood of my car, shadows on the ground, and even the neighbor’s garbage can as “recognized” people--it usually thinks these people are me! It identifies most faces as me yet it regularly fails to recognize my face. Honestly, it would have a higher success rate if it just picked random names out of a hat. It’s useless as a security feature because the alerts are completely unreliable—and even worse, they’re constant. My phone now dings every time a tree rustles or a cloud passes overhead. Then there’s the lack of HomeKit support. Eufy has been promising deeper integration with Apple’s ecosystem for years now, and the HomeBase 3 does absolutely nothing to deliver on that front. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem and hoping this will work with HomeKit Secure Video or even basic Home app integration—don’t hold your breath. It’s essentially non-existent, and there’s no clear roadmap for future support. To top it all off, the HomeBase 3 only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which is absurd in 2025. This frequency band is slower, more congested, and increasingly unsupported by modern routers. I expect a security system hub—especially one advertising AI and video processing—to be compatible with 5 GHz networks. But no, you’re stuck throttling everything through an outdated connection. All in all, this feels like a product still in beta, not something ready for market. Eufy needs to go back to the drawing board on both the software and the hardware. Avoid the HomeBase 3 unless you enjoy being notified that your driveway is secretly a person and your actual family members are invisible. The cameras capture clear video, but they are only as good as their, which is, unforftunately., the Homebase. As much as it pains me to say it, if you care about facial recognition and reliable notifications, you are better spending a bit more money on a system that actually works. I am very disappointed in Eufy.

These are nice cameras. However, be careful when purchasing them and do read the fine print carefully. After a year or two, your cameras (in my case, S300 cameras) will stop working one by one. You will not be able to recharge or reset them. When the technician with a tragically poor grasp of the English language contacts you, you’ll be made aware that you’ll need to pay “only $199” to restore the cameras. It’s a once in a lifetime fee that you’ll pay down the road if you want to restore your cameras. Caveat Emptor.

We first bought a competitors product and immediately returned it. What I like about the.Eufy system is that the camera quality is better and the night vision is better. Additionally, you don’t have to pay for storage. So many of the competitors trick you into thinking that until you get the product home. These were so easy to install and connect to my Wi-Fi. This week, when I was not home, I received an alert that someone was at my front door. The motion detection feature picked him up immediately and alerted me through the app. It was a delivery man, and I was able to communicate with him from another state to let him know where to leave a package. It was very easy to hear him an easy for him to hear me as well. There are just so many good features that you get with Eufy system versus the competitors that I would highly recommend this product! We have even purchased more for family members.

J’ai acheté le kit eufyCam S300 (3C) pour sécuriser mon terrain sans avoir à gérer des abonnements ou des fils partout, et honnêtement, je suis vraiment impressionné. ✔️ Ce que j’aime • Qualité 4K vraiment nette : les détails sont super clairs, même quand je zoome. • Installation sans fil ultra simple : j’ai installé les deux caméras en moins de 10 minutes. • Vision nocturne solide : l’image reste propre dans le noir total. • Reconnaissance faciale AI utile : moins d’alertes inutiles, plus d’infos pertinentes. • Stockage local extensible : pas de cloud forcé, et je peux monter ça jusqu’à 16 To. • Très bonne autonomie : les batteries tiennent longtemps, même en hiver québécois. ❗Petit point à noter • L’appli pourrait charger les vidéos un peu plus vite, mais ça reste vraiment fonctionnel. 🔥 Verdict Un système de caméras complet, fiable et facile à utiliser. Pour quelqu’un qui veut une vraie sécurité avec des images 4K sans abonnement mensuel, c’est dur à battre. Je recommande fortement.

exactly what I wanted - had to use an adapter on the plug but was forewarned

External box little damaged. Did not have AU PowerPoint connection

Great system, easy to install. Installed it late November with a couple small solar panels for the cameras. Batteries still showing full and maintained that thru the winter. I installed a SSD drive in the homebase but probably not needed as the built in 16gb should be good for 5-6 months based on the last 3 months use (for me anyway). Great picture quality, even when zooming in. App works well. Very pleased with everything so far, no issues at all
