Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It’s not cloud-based, so there are no subscription costs. It has a 1 tb storage drive, which allows you to save recordings up to 10 days. Also really appreciate not having to have a subscription anywhere for storage.

Camera's paired effortlessly to the homebase and have been providing 24/7 recording. We had a handyman set this system up and would recommend the same - or an electrician - if you're unsure.

Smart recording with facial recognition that knows family from strangers. The ai also learns people's hates and notifies you of specific family members by name. Workwell and notifications are fast.

The eufy security app is good, but there is a lot of embedded marketing that makes it busier than itneeds to be. It's as diy-friendly as it gets, with a connectivity reach that left me pleasantly surprised. The app allows for some tweaking of the came...  Read More

The eufy camera system alleviates both of those concerns for us. It works quite well but isn't nearly as polished as this system.



Cons

I have no idea how anyone actually installs this outdoors, unless they are an electrician, have electrician friends, or pay for one. As it is it's not really usable outdoors and it's quite awkward indoors as well.

The zoom is not an optical zoom, what it does is just blow up the image digitally, so if its not clear before you zoom, it will not be clear after the zoom. They disconnect where i cannot see a live view.

The audio is insanely bad. The audio latency is bad and the speaker and mic are just really bad. If you plan on using it alot for 2 way talking and rely on audio, this is not it.

The camera quality was also 1080p, not even 2k.

Price


I love that there isn’t a monthly fee.


It is also very fair priced considering you get 4 cameras with the base station and everything included.

Shipping


They asked me for some information some access to my logs and it took about three or four days but if you're patient and provid...  Read More

Competitiveness


No camera can compete with eufy based on the easy setup process, simple base station with 1tb memory storage included, plus 24/...  Read More


I couldn’t find any other brand that came close to eufy.


We have tried several other security camera systems, however the eufy homebase system (no subscription required) tops them all.

    Editso originally i bought it and thought you couldnt pan it left to right but after exploring in the app i have found that you can buy the installation instructions didnt include it just the faqs about connectivity and panning


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Be sure to pair all the cameras first by putting them near the base station as it uses some weird sound beeping thing to help pair the camera its super high frequency and loud and annoying but i feel like some people wouldnt be able to hear it
