Arlo Ultra 2 vs. EufyCam 3 Comparison 2023: Best Security Camera Reviewed

[@Strandedinthedesert]

Eufy does have a siren does on the camera and base as well.

[@leokimvideo]

Just on sirens & lights from my experience with multiple break ins most thieves are drug affected and will flinch at nothing. Sadly many people think sirens and lights are a deterrent, from my own personal experience they are not.

[@rford1971]

The eufy does have an alarm in the cameras alarm when tampered, and can be through the app.

[@leokimvideo]

I have the old Arlo2 system with 5 cameras and it's been amazing for 7 years of use. I'm lucky that I paid no fees to run 5 cameras that held video on the cloud & local storage for 7 days. I don't think I could pull that off with the new version of Arlo. Maybe you review here needs some camera output comparisons, sad it's lacking.

[@dmonaco1924]

I currently have Arlo and im completely sick of the $12/mo service fee and constantly recharging batteries. My driveway cameras drain ridiculously fast and I'm done with constantly charging them. I'm seriously considering switching to the Eufy for the solar charging feature.

[@guitarman517]

Why not just run permanent power to them like I did?

[@Joshwee15]

Same reason I'm here.. my battery's last no longer then 2 or 3 days.. and I have 7 cameras.

[@end2endsolutions145]

Don't waste your money with the power kits. I've gone through every single Arlo product there has been for the last 6 years. Worst product ever. I've integrated my house and my cottage with this system stay away. Anything is better than this. They are finicky. You can literally stand in front of the camera sometimes and it will not even know you're there

[@mins3177]

I installed a eufy cam kit with 6 cam to my friend house 3 years ago and he is soo happy he never had a problem he just add 2 solar panels on the highest one . I was sceptical about it because I was a professional video surveillance installer with hikvision dahua obviously it can’t be compared… but if someone want to avoid wiring process and very difficult set up that require a professional person… this is the easiest solution and quicker. If you can afford to spend more money and you want something more reliable in the long period of the time you can go with dahua or hikvision and you are at the top and peace of mind…. But the eufy they doing a very great job for the money that you spend.

[@robertnelson4755]

Store directly to your Arlo base station on a thumb drive, and problems are solved. Buy a solar panel and never mess with charging the batteries. That's my setup. Works amazing.

[@jasondebraux6695]

I've been a proud & paying supporter of Arlo for years from their Arlo Pro 2 cameras all the way up to their Arlo Ultra series 4k cameras. The Arlo's work great but with my Arlo cameras I've had them break down over time unfortunately so I switched over to Eufy. Now I'm enjoying the solar charging cameras & all the features w/ no monthly fee. I attempted to give Arlo the opportunity to retain me as a customer by providing some insight as to how to fix the camera but they were of no assistance since I was out of the warranty period.

[@kidragonfly9936]

What distance can the camera have from base station as wifi and then as Ethernet ?

[@HLK-894]

How many years do the batteries last for the Eufy camera? Because you mentioned that the battery can be changed for the Arlo camera but not for the Eufy camera

[@jgrigsby8697]

Great review! Why didnt you show the video quality of each though?

[@bobstellmacher1642]

I current have an old Arlo system used to monitor my mother remotely as she is 93 years old and has moderate dementia. I find the older cameras and base station have a significant delay while live viewing. Before spending $1000+ to upgrade to Ultra 2, I need to know if the real time is indeed real-time without significant delay. I have one Simply safe camera which has near zero delay which is what we need. Using local storage would be helpful to ensure internet lag does not delay storing the clip or loss of content. However, remote access to the live stream and stored clips is a must! Do you have any testing results for live streaming the Ultra 2 cameras?

[@comingatchu]

Great video. I’ve had an older Arlo Pro 2 system with a monthly subscription for nearly 7 years and, in general, I’ve been satisfied with it. I’ve had to replace the base station once and had to replace one camera (out of six) during that period. There’s a sale today on the system reviewed in this video and I think it might be time to upgrade. 😊

[@jasondebraux6695]

The Arlo Ultra cams have a bigger FOV as well so that's a great feature & the activity zones work better on the Arlo cameras. Eufy is free 99 on a monthly basis and you don't have to charge them once they are installed if they have adequate sunlight so that's an amazing feature.

[@simoneverdini3775]

Hello excellent review I wanted to know about the Eufy cameras can you have the possibility to open the cameras at the same time as on the Arlo? Thank you Simone

[@Wm.Havens]

Can notifications be set for time of day for certain exterior cameras in a situation where gardeners and other service workers are active during the day and expected but have notifications/recording active in the afternoon through the start of the next day?

[@munirladha9521]

Nice comparisons of what the models offer, but it would be nice to see if they actually deliver that. For say- 4k quality. Does anyone of them actually give 4k quality? or lets say WiFi connectivity- do they connect at certain feet away or just keep re-connecting?

[@jibester1]

How many frames per second do each of the two cameras record at? 15, 24, or 30?

[@birdhouseguy6604]

Thanks. Great job

[@nk60001]

Thanks, what are the image sensor sizes.?

[@aj179lake]

There is a siren in the Eufy cameras as well as base

[@DeviceDeal]

Unfortunately not

[@Strandedinthedesert]

@@DeviceDealit actually does.

[@robertnelson4755]

Arlo has a great solar option. I have had the same batteries on solar for three years. Also, I have a thumb drive on the base station so I save all videos directly to my thumb drive with ZERO prescriptions. So why keep harping on a subscription when Arlo allows you to store your videos to the base station?

[@Karkipujan750]

Hi mate thank you for your effort its truly informative video I am just wondering for the EUFY cam once battery got death it cannot be replace new one we have to get new set of camera to operate again?

[@DeviceDeal]

Hi there, I appreciate your kind words about the video. Regarding your question about the EUFY Cam, unfortunately, once the battery of the Eufycam 3 dies, it won't be able to be replaced. Unlike some other brands, such as Arlo, where you have the flexibility to change or upgrade the battery, Eufycam 3 requires getting a new set of cameras if the battery is no longer functional. It's a limitation worth considering when choosing a security camera system. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

[@leonelsway]

Eufy does have a siren on the camera. Its needs about 3 hours of sun light per day to stay charged. It also has cloud storage subscription. It can identify people also and stich together the separate videos of a person walking across multiple cameras. Some of the items you didn't mention.

[@djwhite7664]

Does Eufy still have the security problem of people beinf able to access your video?

[@Strandedinthedesert]

They fixed the problem with a software update.

[@paulm0573]

Which camera has the better picture quality? Can the app allow you to view footage even if overseas or if not using wifi?

[@DeviceDeal]

Hi Paul , both are similar with 4K resolution , we have got a better feedback from customers for Arlo , Yes, you can have access to the footage from anywhere through the App ( need internet )

[@paulm0573]

Thanks for your reply, do you mean you got better feedback with Arlo on their picture quality or on the camera overall? How many days of rolling video is stored before it’s overwritten?

[@DeviceDeal]

30 days with paid subscription @@paulm0573

Where can I find the Australian monthly subscription fees for Arlo?

It is a great video... you answered all my questions about these two models👌.

[@SAS-uu2cy]

I ditched arlo a year ago for the crazy subscription fee but eufy died just in a year right after the warranty feel like they deliberately did that throughthe firmware update bc it started acting weird after the update.. in search of new camera again 😢

[@sammyclark9763]

Good review.

[@yaquisieras2023]

And I’m so happy with my Arlo cameras because they included the solar panels so I don’t have to charge the batteries here and there all the time 😁

[@dontump2286]

The eufy cameras in this video have solar panel built on top of camera itself.

[@johncooney1942]

Eufu had some serious security issues and probably still does. Don’t see HomeKit support until it’s fixed

[@iq0099]

You did not cover these highly important pionts 1 - Dont you all think that in 2023-2024 that SSD 2.5 is 12 years outdated? 2- The Home base only uses 2.5ghz wifi - seriously - still??? 3- Camera streams are not compatible to Hubitat, Matter, and other well-known home automation platforms, which means they are proprietary to their app! 4- Is there a way to extend the 16GB to other internal storage?

[@dontump2286]

damn dude i just got to the 11 minute mark before I noticed how perfect your hair is. looks like you 3d printed a toupee'.

[@christophkunz59]

Thank you Arlo for no longer supporting my cameras 😞. So it's time to switch to Eufy

[@schless5886]

When I buy a expensive battery powered device, I want it to last 5 plus years at least, if it goes out within or year and then batteries are obsolete and have to buy new system, not ideal or worth it. Eufy pushes homekit, but if someone breaks in and steals homekit and camera, then you have no footage, cloud services can be expensive just depends on your situation or crime rate in your area.

[@dmonaco1924]

It looks like you can add storage to the individual cameras as well. If you're worried about the base station being disabled you could just store all the footage on your cameras as a redundancy.

[@schless5886]

@@dmonaco1924 so you soend more money on something thst was stolen?

[@aurinfiol]

Cercherò di essere equilibrato ed onesto: Dalle recensione sembrava il top di gamma. Ora dopo due anni di utilizzo vi spiego com'è andata. Telecamere molto costose che funzionano a batteria. Autonomia dichiarata sei mesi. Autonomia reale con utilizzo normale una settimana. Qualità del video dichiarata 4k. Autonomia reale boh...immagini sgranate. Senza zoom non si vedono le facce. Se fai zoom (tantissimo zoom NON ottico) le immagini sono super sgranate e quindi non si riconosce una faccia. Ho dovuto quindi ALIMENTARE tutte e tre le mie telecamere con cavi e alimentatori in continuazione. Per non doverle ricaricare ogni settimana. Con questo lavoro avrei potuto portare direttamente un cavo lan per alimentare una telecamere via cavo senza batteria. Perfetto. Ora arrivano le patate veramente bollenti: Dopo aver speso 1000 euro per 3 telecamere, hub e varie eventuali si scopre che bisogna fare un abbonamento. Ahi...allora faccio l'abbonamento più economico...e scopro che NON supporta la risoluzione pseudo 4k. Quindi le immagini sono ancora più sgranate e incomprensibili. Allora provo l'abbonamento da 18 euro mese (216 euro anno) e la qualità finalmente migliore un poco. Però io non sono disposto ad aver già speso 1000 euro e spenderne altri mille ogni 4 anni... E chissà che non lazino i prezzi!!! Perfetto. Allora mi sono deciso a CHIAMARLI. . . . . impossibile. . . . . . E quando possibile in forma scritta NESSUNO parlava ITALIANO!!!! Io non saprei cosa onestamente altro scrivere. REGALO TELECAMERE ARLO per inutilizzo
