The Eufy system as shown can be purchased for $450 or less since once you buy 1 homebase, you can buy extra cameras for less. You don't need multiple homebases.

[@sethmayeaux9322]

How many cameras can 1 homebase accept?

[@conchobar]

@@sethmayeaux9322 I don't represent Eufy, so I can't give you exact numbers, but the Homebase 2 will control over 30 devices (Cameras, motion sensors, doorbells, door locks. Etc) , and I would assume around 14 cameras should work without a hitch. You need more than that, Im not sure I would recommend any of these inexpensive systems.

[@steli25]

depends if you have a small house and if you don't care about footage history. - In my case, I need to use 2 HomeBase devices as 2 of my cameras are in front of the house and the other 2 are in a tree in the back yard. - The storage on HomeBbase 2 is limited to 16GB for all the camera connected to it. this is from Eufy article: "It can store 2 months’ worth of videos for a system with 1 camera, or 1 month for a system with 2 cameras (30 motion detections a day and 60 seconds recording each time)" But WAIT, a Eufy employee has confirmed, in Eufy community website, that they are working on a new Homebase!

It is free when stored locally on your SD card, but if you want it stored to the cloud, then you have to pay.

The eufy camera has a speaker and a microphone. The homebase can be set up via Wi-Fi. Fyi.

[@steli25]

Eufy Homebase USB cannot be used to extend the storage or add extra storage. ONLY 16 GB storage for all the Eufy cameras and doorbell connected to the base. Unfortunately.

[@loriroxx394]

what do you do after 16 gb are used up? Is the camera useless after that??

[@steli25]

@@loriroxx394 form their article What is the HomeBase storage type? The HomeBase 2 comes with a non-removable 16GB EMMC local storage. System files will occupy a very small amount of storage space. It can store 2 months’ worth of videos for a system with 1 camera, or 1 month for a system with 2 cameras (30 motion detections a day and 60 seconds recording each time). The old video clips will be overwritten by a loop when the space is full.

[@felipeperez4610]

Can the eufy camera be installed with and work with AC power or is battery power the only source of power?

[@1975DAW]

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

[@BrandonDoyleMN]

heck yeah, both systems are easy to install

[@Videpedia]

I heard that all Eufy devices can only work if you have 2 separate bands, 2.4g and 5g, at home. IF you have a mesh network that combines 2.4g and 5g into one SSID then their devices will not work. True ? Anyone ?

[@cosmicprincesA1234]

good review, for eufy 2 pro, How far can you place the camera from the home base unit and still get footage? Like if your storage house (with no Internet connection) is about 80 to100 meters from where you live. ,would wifi Extention unit(or a router like Asus ZenWiFi AX) allows additional distance between camera and home base unit in this case? and how many add-on camras can the home base unit handle beside the two included in box?

[@followp]

There is no way in hell that you can get a full hd stream through 100m of wifi…. Even without anything in between….

[@entertainment72]

All my 3 Ultras are plugged in power and notifications are darn near instantaneous on my watch. I believe you must have a robust WiFi system, I have ATT gig fiber. Also, the Arlo has been great within HomeKit.

[@mdburns69]

Does Eufy work well with the Google products and Google assistant?

[@steli25]

It is the other way around. Google can stream the live feed of the doorbell or camera. If you have google home/nest speaker you cannot use it as a chime nor for audio notification. Unfortunately.

[@lindsayjelleff496]

Why did you not compare the Arlo 2K to the Eufy 2k?

[@JeremiahJonson]

Why didn't you compare apples to apples not apples to oranges in 4K to 2K when Arlo offers a 2K Pro4 which would make it an even fight? Just a thought.

[@LAGUY88]

which is wireless AC

[@jondirive]

I have an older Arlo system. The lag is awful, and it doesn't matter if the cam is on battery, solar power, or plug. They all are laggy. The doorbell has been going off line a lot after almost 3 years of use. I have Xfinity 1GB internet service, the lag shouldn't be this bad.

[@jondirive]

@@BrandonDoyleMN yes it is

[@jondirive]

Example, if someone was walking passed the camera, I would get notified about 2 seconds, by the time I immediately open the app and cam their gone. If it's not in history I'll never see them.

[@mattmccarty72]

Arlo has the worst customer service. I believe they are trying to drop support for older cameras to help sell the new cameras to existing and new customers. Bad practice, again in my opinion.

[@militaryworld2304]

Also it's a death comPany

[@rehanfarrukh]

I've tried Eufy cam 2 pro for about 15 days, first of all, your Arlo in the video took forever to connect to live feed. That is totally unacceptable to me. I hope its your wireless connection issue. I have 1gb fibre connection and Eufy immediately connects to live feed for me every time. My Eufy hub 2 was connected through wire. Even in this video, I noticed accessing recorded videos on Arlo took a lot of time. Again, might be your router is sitting far from base station and is connected wirelessly? iOs app I think Eufy is slightly better but I have yet to use Arlo. and am going to try out Arlo Ultra to see how 4K recordings are and sensitive and accurate motion detections is. This is the key one. . Issue with Eufy is less motion detection uo to 30 feet, which in my case is not enough. I've had two camera installed at front of my house. Right side camera was capturing videos all the way to the left and left side camera aiming towards the right side... and lot of time I noticed that image or detection gets lots in the middle or cut-off. I think it is normally with wireless system, no matter what. In my 15 days testing of Eufy camera, battery stayed green all the way, so didn't notice any issue but claiming 365 days is a lot. I would be happy if it even lasts 10 months or so...But again battery life really depends on how much you watch live stream, weather conditions, low or high traffic area, amount of time your camera is recording after sensing the motion, etc... So I ended up placing the order for wired 4K NVR system as I want stability, continuous live recording and enhanced optical zoom.Wired camera starts the recording 5-10 sec before any event happens and wireless camera only starts when it detects the motion. In my opinion, wireless camera system is not a substitute of wired ones but there are applications and scenarios where wireless will work like a magic. So I am thinking that I will have both wired and wireless systems. If you can instal wired, then go with wired (POE) system, as its just one time effort and it worth all the hassle. If snaking wires through the house is a big challenge, then try out both of these as well as Lorex 2K wireless system with 1TB internal storage, and see which one works best for you. Price difference of 100-200 is not an a big concern for me on wireless system.

[@paulsterman7169]

My Arlo takes about 8 seconds for the live feed. So pretty useless. Also the speak feature is useless on the Arlo since the sound is also delayed by 8 seconds. On the same wifi I have a $30 camera that gives me live view within 1 second. Arlo is an expensive disappointment.

[@rehanfarrukh]

@@paulsterman7169 The whole wireless technology is only for fun really, no matter what brand you pick. I am just waiting form my Hikvision 4K NVR to arrive next week, then, I will have 6 Eufy cameras collecting dust. Perhaps, return them as they are still under return window, or maybe I will keep a couple of them, just in case. I think these wireless cameras are good for rental properties like apartments, etc.

[@Peterderoode]

Nice system but Eufy doesn't have a powerful outdoor siren or a flash light. Burglars are mainly startled by a powerful siren, which the Eufy system cannot offer! Eufy does have a beeper (alarm) on the homebase and the camera, but with that you tell the burglar exactly where the camera and the Eufy homebase are. If he also takes it with him, then you have nothing because the video images are stored on the homebase! And the beeping sound from the camera or the Eufy homebase is far from powerful. A pitty for Eufy security system and a missed opportunity.

[@waynecartwright9478]
