> 3 dayThere have been multiple events that multiple cameras haven’t recorded. But yet I get multiple human detected a week with nothing in frame other then a shadow from a tree. I wish I got a wired system with a hard drive verses this junk system. Makes me wonder what’s been missed while I’ve not been home. Buyer beware.

Greater than one weekSo I Already had 3 of these cámaras and they work really great. And still in use today. So I decided to add 2 more. But these last 2 i received were defective. One has a pinkish color on the image. And the other the battery isnt good. It will only last maybe a month as apposed to the 180 days its advertised.

> 3 dayWorst customer service ever, if you buy this product expect not be able to see you camera off site, and expect even less from their customers service.

> 3 dayI loved the EUFY system, with emphasis on Loved. After less than a year one of my cameras filled up with water, the battery exploded and it died. My recourse? Pay Amazon to return it for a refund and reorder. :(

> 3 dayWe have 5 of these cameras at home, absolutely love them. We can talk to our dogs while we are away, superb night vision and motion detention. When we go on vacation we feel comfortable leaving our home because all the notifications go straight to our phone. Suggested them to all my family members, everyone should have at least one in their home.

> 3 dayAfter having a disappointing experience with Ring doorbell, I decided to switch to Eufy. While the RIng wireless camera was fine (just the separate doorbell was problematic for me), I didnt want to keep paying the Ring subscription so I went 100% Eufy. Im very happy with the quality of the 2C Pro. Excellent image quality, very fast motion alerting (including differentiation between a person or general motion). Even with motion detection on almost all the time in a fairly active driveway (5+ people in household, all driving age) the battery life is great. Im regretting the money I paid to Ring for their cloud service. Eufy has no such fee and everything is stored locally rather than on a remote server that I do not own that is susceptible to security breaches. In the several weeks Ive had this camera in service, Eufy has made improvements to the app UI and added features, which is appreciated.

> 3 dayBought these to supplement the Nest cameras we already had, which require an annual subscription for most of the features you get from Eufy for free. Good quality picture, motion detection and great battery life.

> 3 dayTHe idea of this camera is great - a completely wireless security camera that you can install in a minute. It is easy to get down and charge, and we like that we can move it around the yard and watch whatever we want. There are so many flaws in its software though, that it ruins anything good about it. Basically, you cannot point this camera anywhere it will see a street, sidewalk or any other public space, unless you want be informed of every car, pedestrian, animal or moving tree. 1. By design, this camera only records when it senses motion. This is so that the battery is not exhausted in a few hours if it was constantly recording. However the motion detection software is so bad on this that it renders the camera almost useless, read on: 2. The common option from most cameras to start recording a few seconds before motion is detected (Its common, I promise) does not exist on this camera, and there is a 1-2 second delay after the motion happens before the recording starts... which usually makes your recordings useless. 3. Once you turn the motion security light feature on, you it does not go off, even after you turn off the feature. It is a known bug and they have not fixed it in months that I have been using this camera. So now, every time it sees something it turns bright lights on, even though I have that feature disabled. Not only does it waste battery, but it signals to intruders where your cameras are and really isnt needed anyway. 4. There is an option, like on many cameras to create zones on the video where you dont want motion to trigger the camera. They dont work at all. Regardless of the zones any motion excluded still triggers the camera. Its a known issue to the community and widespread. 5. You can specify in the settings whether to detect All motion or Humans only. It doesnt work at all. Even when its set to Humans Only, shadows, cars, bugs, lightning, animals, trees moving in the wind all set it off anyway. 6. There seems to be no effect of the 7 level motion sensitivity setting. 1 is the same as 7 and everything in between. Now, to make all of this worse, in order to be a useful security camera, it sends a notification to your smartphone when it senses motion. Which in this case is about 100 times per hour on the front of our house. In addition to the motion-detecting issues outlined above, theres a couple other issues: Theres a bug in the software where you get a notification of motion and when you tap the notification its supposed to take you to the app and show you the recording of the subject. Well most of the time it just plays the same old clip from days ago every time. You have to then go navigate to the event page and find the latest recording. Theres also frequent connection issues while watching live video. I can be sitting right next to the router and base station and it will still lose connection and take forever to reconnect. All of these issues completely ruin any usefulness for me. If I havent had it 4 months now, I would probably return it because $130 is extremely overpriced for this low level of quality.

> 3 dayApple HomeKit will support this camera but WONTT support 2K resolution, it will only use 1080p. I didnt learn this until after I had already purchased and installed the camera, and began trying to integrate it into my smart home. Maybe that will change, but at the time of this review, its a no-go.
