eufy security, eufyCam 2C Pro Wireless Home Security Add-on Camera, 2K Resolution, 180-Day Battery Life, HomeKit Compatibility, IP67 Weatherproof, Night Vision, and No Monthly Fee.

Initially I would have given this system a 4.5 out of 5. Its one of the few camera competitors that lets you both store recordings locally and access them via app without a fee, which was a huge bonus for me having wanted to avoid yet ANOTHER subscription service. But as of last month I became aware of a growing number of news articles from prominent tech news sites and researchers that revealed several extremely worrisome security flaws that left me feeling more vulnerable WITH the cameras than without them. Ive written them down below: - Eufy is uploading video thumbnails and facial recognition data to the cloud, despite you never opting in to Eufys cloud services. (To keep this from happening you need to go to the camera settings-> Notifications -> Select Most Efficiency) Youll only get text notifications of motion detection but at least your data isnt uploaded to the cloud. - A researcher found uploaded images were indeed not encrypted and can be downloaded without authentication. Not only that, the found that a separate Eufy camera linked to a different account was able to identify his face with the same unique face ID. - Worst of all, he was able to view live footage from his camera over a web browser without any kind of authentication simply by navigating to the correct public-facing address. - This is actually the 2nd major security breach the brand has had in recent times. I feel awful because I recommended this brand to other friends including people who have live cameras indoors. Until Eufy becomes more transparent with their business practices and allows users to not only opt out of cloud uploads but allow users to delete the data they have on hand and/or actually encrypt the data as they had initially promised, I would not recommend Eufy Security till then. Hope this helps others, or at the very least motivate Eufy to actually stand for Security.

This camera is great for home surveillance. Clear picture, quick notifications, and the paired with solar panel it makes for a perfect set it and forget it camera that’s easy to install.

Installation and setup was easy. Motion detection was well with the associated notifications. Excellent product.

Ill get straight to the point. Here are the Number of Inaccurate And Misleading Statements In the Description: 1. Up to 6 Months Battery: The Battery does not last 6 months, not even 2 weeks. 2. Ability to set zones: The Zones set up is a rectangle and completely useless depending on where you are attempting to cover. 3. Smart Motion Detection: Every time a car goes by at night and the car light flashes into the camera, the notification goes off. This is terrible, especially when trying to get some sleep. 4. 2K Camera: The recordings/photos looks like something from the 80s VHS, this is nothing 2K and a complete and utter lie. Amazon should remove this product or ask the company to change the text. It is not 2K, not even HD. The images are blurry and the recordings are distorted. 5. Notifications: By the time you get notified, someone has already entered and left your house, sometimes nothing is capture at all. Stay away from this Camera.

Great product

While powered this device has absolutely no drawbacks by itself. The battery is total garbage! It dies every other day which defeats the entire reason to install a wireless camera. I wish I could travel back in time and slap myself for getting this.

You can hear pretty far away. Love the quality. Way to use.

The camera is a very good product.

Great product

This product was a great purchase. It performed as expected and does everything the online reviews said. It was easy to install and connect to our WiFi router. The picture quality is great. The motion detection is great. Mounting the cameras outside was easy. I would certainly purchase this product again. I spent hours reading online reviews and researching websites and was leaning toward purchasing the product. As I was asking people I work with if they have any recommendations , a trusted friend said they purchased the Eufy cameras months in the past and are very please with how it performs. Buy the camera, you will not be disappointed. The fact you do not have to pay monthly fee to security company will save you hundreds over the life of the system. You recorded events stay with you in you house, no outside eyes seeing your private files.
