Күн бұрын

Today, we will check and test out the latest WiFi Camera from Eufy. The Eufy Cam 2C. This is a 1080p wire-free battery powered WiFi Camera that has a built in rechargeable battery that can last 180 days before needing to be recharged.
We will do the unboxing, check out its features, do the install and check out the camera's video and audio quality and test it using Lifehackster's battery of tests and see if this system will fit your security camera needs.
One of the things that is good with this system is the price. Currently, Eufy priced the 2 camera kits for $200. which boils down to only $100/per camera.

They're smaller than they look in the pictures. This is a good thing, as I don't want to install cameras that are too obvious since I want to put some of them inside the house and I wouldn't want any possible trespasser to notice them right away. If Eufy isn't paying you anything they should, because you have convinced me to buy their products.

Thanks for the review, not sure if you mentioned this but the Eufy 2C only works on 2.4Ghz wifi and not 5Ghz. Many routers support both but some people may not be broadcasting on 2.4Ghz or you don't even know the password for it. It took me a minute to remember the name of mine, but I can say the performance has been great. Also Eufy has fixed the spotlight issue, use the app to update your base and cameras. So far I'm very pleased with this camera system. Like many people, I had an Arlo system but now I think Eufy has a better deal.

@@1885173 I really like the system but have to admit I've had loads of issues with it. At times it doesn't activate, an example was when a courier dropped a parcel off and it didn't even capture any footage despite only being positioned about 2 meters from the door. Just seems very temperamental at times, very very frustrating, I have been in constant contact with the "help line", they normally say the same thing everytime to reboot the home base, log out and back in or even re sync the camera's. I haven't heard from them in ages as they closed for Chinese New Year. At the moment, it's working well, I guess it's a work in progress.

@psiturbo Жыл бұрын

@@xdeadyoungx I have the Eufycam 2c 4-cam kit w solar panels. There is significant lag to start recording at low light (IR), and various other issues been stated on Amazon reviews. Sometimes if one camera is recording, the other is not, or if I am in live view on a specific camera, it will NOT record. I would have liked the camera had a flash feature, instead of a light, and possibly picture at certain intervals. IMO, certain security parameters should be customizable, for example, high motion sensitivity at night all motion, and human at day only etc. The camera cannot be set in a 45 degree angle, the base limits it to a front mount style. Also, I would like it had a feature to show continuous blinking to show system is active, to warn away potential intruders. *The motion tests on his videos are vague and generic, most if not all tests done at daylight. Eufy is spotty in capturing images at night. I would say sensitivy cuts down about 30%.

I hope they add single cameras to the C2 as I need 6 cameras in total. I am in the UK and the UK site seems to be a long way behind the US site. Again Thanks
