It also has a built in AI - human detection so as to minimize false motion alerts.
We will do a quick unboxing, check out its features, set it up and do the installation and check out its video and audio quality together with battery of testing and see if this 2K quality floodlight camera from Eufy is a good fit for your home.

Thanks for the review! I did notice with your review of the 1080p you had to get very close for the motion detection to pick you up. The 2k picked up motion at 40ft pretty quick.

Dude, that 40ft detection was amazing, like 3 feet out from the shed and it picked you up! I want one of these to go with my 2c's but no homebase integration is poor as I'd like to set triggers for the cameras to all record when one detects motion. The 4gb doesn't bother me too much as there's plenty of time to save a clip before it loop records. As always, great work LH 👍

Did anyone notice the birds in the background cawing to each other? They were a pretty good distance away. If any group of people were to break into your house or cars you might be able to catch what they are saying to each other. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

It's a good camera, I got myself one 3 days ago (people tried stealing my dogs) after watching this. The only thing I don't like is that the speaker is pretty quiet, if you talk through it, you can barely hear it unless there's zero noise around you. The alarm is not bad, but again you can barely hear it when you're inside your house, which I would rely on neighbours hearing it if I was away, but changes are they wouldn't hear it from inside. The lights are very good and the night vision is brilliant. You have to rely on good internet connection, so if your Internet is pretty slow, this probably isn't the camera for you.

My biggest problem with the Ring doorbell is that after getting a motion detection, I get a long "video is processing" delay trying to view the motion event in the timeline. Live view loads fine though. Is the Eufy better in this regard? I am also looking for a floodlight cam, so if I switch to Eufy I will get the Eufy floodlight camera also

Hi mate, i have a query about the flood light. The triggering distance for the flood light from a front on angle, what would that be? Is that adjustable. It seems like floodlights trigger only when we are really close to camera like 4 mtrs or something. I was hoping that it will trigger the light like a driveway flood light does, like when you walk into drive way.

@opavlogt1739 10 ай бұрын

I have a problem with my Eufy floodlight 2K camera. Since you wrote such an excellent review about it, I would like to ask you a question. In my backyard there are trees and sometimes an open parasol. At night, the camera detects the movement of the branches or the parasol as movement and sounds an alarm. That is less now because I keep the parasol folded. However, the light still comes on due to the wind blowing through the branches. I set the motion detection to low, so I don't get the alarm anymore. Question: How can I adjust the motion sensor for the light differently?
