Nice review. Really detailed 👍🏼

Would love to try this but the last eve cam I had had terrible picture and resolution. I found many others in forums that had the same issue.

I had a contractor install this outdoor camera about two years ago. Recently my WIFI network changed and I had to reset all wireless devices to the new network. This meant I had to reinstall the Eve outdoor camera. The original packaging was long gone. Eve told me the QR code would be on the mounting plate. So I took the device apart to find it. It was not there, or anywhere else. Eve told me, and I quote, “you need to replace the device.” I am flabbergasted. Eve neglects to put the QR code on the secondary location, makes it therefore impossible for me to reinstall the device, and expects me to buy another one. I’m am done with this company. I just wish the camera were heavier so I could at least use it as a boat anchor. (I really wanted to like these guys. I even previously overlooked the fact that neither of the 2 motion detectors I bought from them worked reliably either.

Eric, where I would locate a camera such as this one from Eve, on a garage separate from our house, I am not confident my WiFi signal there would be sufficient. Have you produced a video discussing using a repeater or extender or mesh system to provide adequate WiFi for a somewhat remote location? Also, thank you for this review! I am very interested in this camera!

I have seen issues before with specific HKSV cameras and low frame rate when viewing live video stream. How was the connectivity with the Eve flood light? What wifi system are you using now?

Ooo. I didn't realize this could replace an existing wired light. I do have one of those wired outside lights that I could maybe replace with this camera.

Great video! Very informative. Do you know how this compares with Netatmo outdoor camera with siren with respect to Homekit integration?

Great review! Why does nobody make a front porch Apple HomeKit traditional light with camera? I suppose this will work on my front porch but maybe too modern of a look for my 1960’s home. Kuna would be a great option but HomeKit not supported and the home bridge plugin isn’t quite there yet either.

I’ve been waiting for this camera to finally release. Good video. I’d be interested to see a direct comparison to the Netatmo.

Hey Eric, I’ve been a fan of the channel and have been trying to find an outdoor HomeKit camera for ages now. I heard HomeKit secure video is a scam and barely detects motion, and even at that idk wether to get a battery or power cable camera. Should I just ditch HomeKit cam altogether? Please let me know your thoughts on what I should do. Thank you!

Eric Can you let me know where did u get that iconic Lamp? (bright yellow circle behind you! Love your vids Thanks

CircleView : if you want to illuminate a larger area that offerred by the camera itself, you can use a stand alone infrared light 12-48V which is powered on automatically in dark. Works like charm 😁

Would love to know how the I face works from the iPhone to see the video footage live and from iCloud.

Would be great if you conducted a review of the newest Eufy s40 solar outdoor 2k camera

Great review! I agree with what you said. I ordered one the day it came out because I am trying to get off Ring. I converted it to a plug in. Took 2 trips to Home Depot and an online order for the parts but I like the way it came out and I don’t lose any existing outside lights. I agree that losing an outside light to a security camera was not acceptable.

Hi Eric! Love your videos, thanks for making videos on KZfaq again!! Looking to get a futureproof HomeKit Secure Video Camera for my home. Could you comment if you would recommend the Eve Outdoor Camera or the Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera with Siren? Thanks so much!

The white wire in the junction box is most definitely a neutral wire. You have a switched hot.

Can I black out a certain area of ​​the camera, for example on the neighbor's property?

Great video Can the cabling come in from the side or only from the back, I want to mount on wall with cabling coming from a spur from an outside light

Wish u would have shown the installation process in more detail. Especially the wire connections.

Can this be mounted under an eve like where a traditional floodlight would be? Mounting it horizontally instead of vertically on a wall if that makes sense?

I’ve heard this doesn’t play nicely with a standard junction box. Also, I have a huge issues that there is no lumens rating for this, seems like a huge miss for marketing a flood light. I wish the Eufy Floodlight Cam 2 Pro did HomeKit.

Is Eve Outdoor Cam able to send notifications promptly or does it have the same problem as Netatmo Smart Outdoor Cam where there a lag or time delay between the object appearing in its field of view and the notification sent to the respective iPhones or Apple Watch? For Netatmo it’s a delay about 30s

what is the MacBook stand do you have in the background?

By the way, camera powered via an ethernet cable would be awesome - fast and furious !

It's better than paying a monthly subscription fee.

It does have Thread? If so, must be just the motion sensor

The video footage from the eve cam looks pretty terrible to me

Me, I am having problems with the eve cam connection being very unreliable. From Eve Tech support, The Eve cam needs to be less than 20 feet from the router and cannot have any walls or other obstructions between the cam and router. Me, Uh, it's an outdoor cam, how is that going to be possible? Eve Tech support, try moving the router closer to the cam and make sure there are no walls obstructing it. Me, Wow, I just got ripped off of $250.

Eric I just wanted to let you know that there is a wifi camera system that does come in a more traditional porch light camera with two-way communication, motion sensor to activate both the lightbulb (at nighttime) and the video recording, it has a 110db alarm, plus both pre-recorded and custom greeting options. This company also has a floodlight camera with the same options but the light is on both sides of the camera, dimmable, and separately adjustable. The only problem is their lack of integration. They do integrate with both the Amazon & Google assistants. But only have the ability to turn the light(s) on/off. There’s no integration with SmartThings nor HomeKit. But otherwise, the porch lights and the dual camera doorbell work great. The company is Kuna. I have a video on my IGTV that goes over it.

So is it the best? You left a very middle of the road answer.

Go away!

Kinda not very “secure” if mounted within easy reach. My eufy E40 cams are mounted out of reach and with solar panels.

the camera only 1080p and the quality is shit man , i will buy 4k system or wait till homekit support 4k cameras , WTF is this shit in 2022

Or you could get solar panels for your cameras and never charge your batteries again. I have three Ring cameras with solar panels and haven’t charged the batteries in two years. 🙂

Great job Apple, giving exclusivity rights to 1 company and giving would-be HomeKit adopters 1 option for outdoor home security. What an awful choice. Based on the video quality from this video, I’m gonna skip Apple’s Smart Home solutions, not only are they overpriced, but freaking suck. I’m currently with Google’s Nest cameras, but even those 5 year old outdoor cameras and my vacation home’s sketchy and slow internet capture superior video quality than the crap Apple is giving us. I will look for Amazon cams and other options but definitely crossing out Apple and that sucks because I love the Apple ecosystem-system, but their smart home solutions are a huge letdown.

They should have made it poe

Why are Apple, Google, and Amazon locking us in jailcells to begin with? I have explicitly _not_ purchased smart devices because they're playing games.

You are crying about charging a battery ONCE A MONTH!!??? 😂😂😂😂
