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.

It met my expectations, good product.

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.
