Freezing is caused by setting the quality to clear or 1080p and you don't have an excellent wifi or data signal. Try setting it to fluent. Now, this quality is only for the streaming on your phone. The camera still records motion events in full HD.. just make sure to choose "clear" when you download the footage.

For the Eufycam 2C, if your camera is set to motion detection and armed the camera/base station will alarm when motion is detected. If your camera is set to human-only and armed, the camera will record motion at night but only alarm if it detects a person. I think this is a rather smart feature given that human-only detection is more difficult at night. The camera now serves as a home security system if used correctly.

I haven't tested this.. but I thought it will still trigger the alarm when it detects any motion at night..just like it still sends me notifications.

@@LifeHackster Under Human Only mode it says "all motion will still be recorded and pushed at night time". I believe Eufy does this as a safety measure. However the only requirement to trigger the camera/base station alarm is if the parameters of the camera settings are met, meaning human only is confirmed.

Very very good review as always!. It look like Argus 3 has the best image quality all-around. But no AI is bad so it will get false alarm from animals and other things. I think no subscription is the way to go when we pay so high prices for a camera. But i still don't understand in 2020 the frame rate and bit rate is so bad. If you ask me bit and frame rate are more importen than resolution. One thing i also think is too bad is the 5-10 seconds delay then you want to see liveview. It needs to bo in 1-2 seconds.

got the Arlo Essential as it has longer range detection of Humans and higher FPS, day or night. If only it had the crisp video quality of Argus 3 but at least it's still sharper than the 2C which has the softest image quality. Arlo offers 7 days free recordings/uploads, that'll do for me so no subscription required. Recording time after motion detection is up to 300 secs which I believe is much longer than the other two and I noticed cooling off period between recordings/notifications is shorter. Theres a 3-5 sec lag for notifications to arrive even though I have it in a strong wifi signal area. The spotlight on it is no brighter than on a mobile phone. I've had it for 6 days now and the battery is on 94% I estimate it will last only 3 months rather than the claimed 6 months but it's probably because I have it at the highest settings for image quality and detection.

I have one question LifeHacker... you said in the review that the Eufy camera CAN take clear footage but because of the compression and 15 FPS the video looks low quality. Does the Eufy recorded video quality at the base station also get compressed, or is it just the live footage as it’s being sent to your phone?

Reolink has an NVR, so I think that's something to consider as well. I've just had issues with Reolink firmware on their indoor cameras so it makes me hesitate to buy their outdoor ones even though they seem to put Eufy to shame on video quality. Arlo would perhaps be worth the money if they put the AI detection on-camera so we didn't get such a ridiculous notification delay.

Integration with Alexa is limited eufy. You can have a video pulled up when a person is detected but you can't make a routine that runs when motion is detected. Unless the camera lets you do both you should state what kind of integration the camera supports. Integration type isn't universal for all cameras with Alexa. So just saying it has Alexa integration isn't enough.

I currently have Argus 2s hooked up to solar panels. Work great in the summer, but in the winter I have to get out the ladder and charge them all the time. Thinking of switching. Do any of these have significantly better battery life? I want to get out the ladder as little as possible, especially in winter.

Why does the Eufy motion sensitivity seem to diminish over time? Are these cameras disposable?

Interesting video, thank you. I bought a Ring spotlight wired cam but it takes 45 seconds to activate the camera, and I have to wait for the videos to process. I have a Nighthawk R7000 router, and the signal strength according to device health is RSSI 52-53. Is the reason for the long activating time and long video processing time a weak signal? If so, what kind of internet extender would you suggest? Help!
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 3 жыл бұрын
52-53 is a decent signal. How about the WiFi or you internet connection on your phone? Sometimes, the Ring app just does that..it takes time to load especially when you answer the notification. Ring needs to improve this feature.

Great video and content first off, thank you for it! I was preparing to buy a Eufy camera after your reviews and doing research of my own until I found out that Eufy is own by a Chinese company called Anker and the software is designed by another Chinese company called Oceanwing. When looking around people are reporting that the Eufy's home base system is frequently sending large amounts of data backs to DNS servers in China. Also there have been numerous successful intrusions into peoples cameras that have been built in China in which people have been able to listen and view other peoples cameras remotely. This makes me worried about privacy issues and possibly security issues. MY question is have you heard or think there are any issues with purchasing and using this Chinese company? The US went to a lot of trouble to remove the Chinese company Huawei and Dahua for this very issue? Sucks because it has everything im looking for and no subscription fee.

I've said this before, but I don't want a potential prowler to know that he's being video-recorded, therefore I don't want a spotlight on my camera. And I can't speak for the cameras in this test, but the Motion Zones on my eufyCam E are pretty useless. You have to be almost directly in a straight line of sight with the camera for it to detect you.
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 3 жыл бұрын
A spotlight cam is a deterrent...For me, I give prowlers a choice... I let them know that they are being recorded and it is their choice if they want to go ahead or go away. This is a pro-active type of security... try to prevent a crime is always better and less hassle. As to your Eufy Cam E's motion zones...please watch my wired vs battery wifi camera comparison.

You forgot about the geofencing of the arlo 🤣 Did you know that i now know that you keep your phone in your right front pocket in these videos?!? Yeah those cameras even capture the infrared light spilling out 🤔 Oh, and although your "speed notification test" is ok. A more accurate test would be having the cameras on the internet one at a time with nothing else accessing the internet(every other wifi device not connected) ....that or have different phones on different data networks, also not near/inside the area... Oh, and was i the only one that kept on noticing those notifications going off constantly? Yeah forgot to put in on silent during the other tests and didn't bother to reshoot everything just because of that one thing 🤣

Thank you for your feedback and if you want the test of just one camera at a time, check out my individual reviews on these cameras which are linked in the description... this is a comparison test and I intentionally leave all my other cameras ON (except for night vision testing)...to see how they handle with other cameras working and see if there are any interference. Geofencing ...eufy does have it too..
