Eufy Cam 2 vs 2C vs Cam E - Eufy Battery WiFi Cameras Compared

Today, we are going to compare the battery powered WiFi cameras from Eufy. The Eufy Cam E, Eufy Cam 2C and the Eufy Cam 2. Aside from different prices, we will compare the video and audio quality (lots of camera footage) on these cameras and see which one is a better choice for your needs.
I have reviewed these cameras individually which I will link below and also have compared the Eufy Cam E with the Eufy Cam 2 C. Check it out.

I also included a lot of night color recording on these cameras which is the setting that I use. I turn off Night Vision and I just make sure that I have other forms of lighting to light up the area. Here is a video I made comparing black and white night vision recording and color night recording.

Your review of the Eufy Cameras is one of the best I’ve come across. A real world, practical review which answered many of the questions I had about the product. Thank you

[@RynTee]

Thank you for the review. One of the best to date for me and very thorough. At the time of this comment, BB has the doorbell, base, and 1 cam 2 for $240 so this review was perfect timing. Thank you for the time and effort put into this.

[@larryd5935]

This is how to do a product review! Outstandingly helpful - thanks!

[@JDDevice]

Hey my friend, thanks for taking the time to do this thorough review. Might get the 2C, but the Anti-Theft, which I assume is based on the mounting magnets, should've been standard across the board.

[@pamwheatley9775]

Thank you. Best comparison video I’ve seen and I been watching a lot looking for a security system.

[@adiejam]

Huge fan of your videos over here in the UK, I have been watching all of your videos on security cameras for at least 7 weeks now !!! As I am off work due to Covid-19, I decided to get some cameras. Having friends who work in security and when they said all it takes is a quick snip of the wifi cable outside the house and then a Ring system would totally shut off and get no record.....this made me finally choose the Eufycam 2. I just have the twin pack at the moment and will look at adding the floodlight for our front driveway.

[@curtcarey6349]

Excellent, in-depth camera comparison video! A real eye-opener that helped drive my decision. Thank you!!

[@computerbob06]

What a great and comprehensive review. The 2C is on offer today, so I might get this. Never thought I needed camera's until recently, a kid crashed his bike into my car door, but I don't know who it was!

I've had the eufycam E 3 camera system for about 2 years. I got it pretty cheap from an Amazon Black Friday sale. Recently I've added an indoor and doorbell cam that seamlessly integrates with the homebase, phone app, and Alexa (Amazon Echo). Great system. Nice and informative video.

subscribed to you love the detail you put in your videos, nice to see reviews on stuff when put threw all the paces.

[@TheSoobrat]

Eufy cam 2- I bought in December 2019. Now I can say some negative of this camera. It doesnt capture all movements, I would say it misses 10% movements. It doesnt capture my car while I reverse in the morning, forward is ok. It does record car movement on the road though that area is outside of active zones. There is no snooze function for recording (only notification snooze) so it does record my own video while I am in my garden, draining the battery. I do disarm the camera but normally I forget to turn back on. In three months half of battery power has been used, so guessing it will go for 6 months. Local storage facility is super. Overall it is ok but could be better.

[@Tugsim]

Thanks fella - really helpful and comprehensive comparison vid!

Same here

[@shyghosts7033]

Very thorough and helpful. I appreciate you doing this video. It helped me make my decision on whether to get the 2 or 2C. Thanks!

So which one did you go with?

Great comparison! Helped mw to decide which one to get!

[@Donkjnr]

Great video, thank you for your time making it for us 👍🏻

[@steveb4012]

From the UK, excellent in depth comparison, i found it very useful. I think the 2c certainly offered the best value of the trio.

[@steveb4012]

Just bought a eufycam 2c kit for £150. This completes my set up with a eufy battery video doorbell and pan and tilt indoor camera. Total system cost around £310. Bargain. Lifehackster, your reviews sealed the deals, delighted with the system. Thanks for your advice. Steve

[@YT-lz2sd]

It looks like that E has the best picture sound and night vision, forget about the price, need quality.

[@ReyG_HKSH]

Great review of the Eufy line 👍 As you mentioned, for us HomeKit users, the only solution is the 2 or 2C. Really hoping Eufy adds HomeKit compatibility to their smart floodlight camera, or make a version that does.

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you.

[@AVK-AERO]

Great comparison. Thanks a lot for all this great info.

[@MrGrimmyGrimshaw]

Am I the only one that can see the Eufycam E has the best video? The other two take far longer for the light balance to settle down when recording starts, and the amount of compression artifacts is terrible day or night. The Eufycam E just doesn't suffer in the same way at all? Also the E sounds much clearer at relaying your voice, which is very handy for speaking to the mailman from work, where as the other two seem to resonate badly. Really appreciate all the videos lifehackster, certainly helped me choose what I think is the better package. 👍

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you.

[@str82itkb88]

Eufy cam E dosent have artificial intelligence it wont pick up on motion from what I heard so that could be the reason the E cam quality is better to pick up for what its lacking on the e quality definitely have better cam and audio amongst other feather except that one thing

[@axrue1568]

Str82it KB Mine work great might wanna replace this faulty ones

[@waldemarkerschbaumer5703]

Hi, I also see that the Eufycam E has a better video and audio quality! But the new models should have a better video chip...? Are there other reviews or comparings?

[@hckhanh]

Finally, I found the comparison chart. I wonder why Eufy doesn't make a comparison chart for themselves.

[@LifeHackster]

That comparison chart is actually from Eufy..I’m not sure why they don’t put it on their website.

thanks bro, finally I can now decide which one to buy.

[@tlogank]

Great review, appreciate the comparison.

[@EduardBP]

Thanks for this very detailed review. If I can suggest a couple of improvements to your videos, one would be to show a side by side videos so I can compare the videos from all 3 cameras in the same time, as a bit later they all look the same. Also I would appreciate your opinion as to which one is best - sometimes if they all look the same but you have access to the raw unedited video you can tell better which one is best. But otherwise love your scientific approach to all videos, well done! Keep them coming please!

[@By_Any_Means_Necessary]

Great video and detailed as usual 👍🏽

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you.

[@Lejackal]

Ya know, been watching a lot of smart home you tubers lately as I prepare to educate my house...glad to find one that shows a house that is lived in versus so many who only show a small part where it looks like a show house...a minimalist house vs a house most of us live in act differently with a lot of these devices

[@tonyb282]

Great review, I have the 2c cams and they work great. The only reason I would buy the cam 2 would be if I needed a little bit more of a viewing angle. When you compared the 3 cameras inside your living room I was able to see a lot more of the room. It is only 5° degrees more but it does make a difference. This would help if you are trying to cover cars in a driveway or more of a back yard. Other that that difference for the price the 2c's are the way to go.

[@LifeHackster]

I agree. Thank you.

[@craigalexp]

Has the battery life been good so far?

Bought the pro 2 . Just because of your good review video.

[@donkey1007]

As most have said Mr Hackster, a very well put together video. I purchased the Eufy battery door bell on the strength of review you did. And now will buy the 2c as I want to replace a Swann wifi in/outdoor cam. The swann camera is good, but Swann have replaced the app you use with it and its CRAAAAAP. The camera is now a paper weight. And Swann customer service SUUUUCKS.

[@oakley197]

2c for the win for me. Had them for a couple months now. Definitely improvements can be made but value for money wise its spot on

[@jo-annguthur7314]

Like the thorough review

[@Gilsanx]

Thanks for the review. I already have my setup and chose 2 cam 2c and 2 cam2. The large ones will go in the front side because they have anti theft capability and larger battery. The 2c will go on the backyard. I did get an offer bundle of 2c, but didn't get the cam 2 offer (they are on sale now), so it is true, it is worth to browse Amazon from time to time

[@LifeHackster]

:)

[@StreaminFreedom]

Will add on eufy cam 2 or 2 c work with a base unit from the eufy cam e

[@melindabell4870]

Will the cameras work on the same home base

[@Gilsanx]

@@melindabell4870 , the eufycam 2 and 2c will definitively pair to the same home base station (the most recent one). I cannot confirm the 2e, but I'm betting they do because I started the process at home, and my home base asked me to proceed. I don't have 2e to finish, but since it started, it should finish

[@rsmitz169]

@@Gilsanx I checked with Euphy Cam support and was advised that Cam 2e now pairs with either base station. MY QUESTION CONCERNING BASE STATIONS: Is there any functionality lost (other than method of data storage) using one base station over the other?

[@ellisnishimoto5752]

Thanks for the great review. I really like the Eufy Cam Cameras. The "Only" reason I do not buy them is that they do not have Replaceable Batteries. I do not like the idea of buying replacement cameras every few years.

[@symbian1530]

5ergeantpepper I think this is a comercial hook, everybody know that batteries get worse little by little and with every charge the batteries have less capacity. I think is not a good idea to launch a product like this but it seems that it is very trendy. A solar panel would be great but there are no solar panel too

[@LifeHackster]

It should last more than a few years..I’m confident 5 years at least.

[@danb7146]

I have faith the rechargeable batteries in these things will last 5+ years. Eufy is part of Anker, not sure if they are using Anker batteries but I've been using Anker portable battery pack chargers for years and they have held up well over 5+ years. Anyway too, these are 1080p cameras so by the time these batteries wear out it will be time to upgrade to a higher resolution camera for sure.

[@BoomBox02]

@@LifeHackster Surely one would be able to replace the battery if for some reason it died early, or is the camera a hard sealed unit that cannot be opened??

[@dannymcneal]

The eufyCam 2 kit (base station and two cameras) are currently on sale on Amazon for $275.99. I’m thinking they will be introducing a 2K version soon-that’s when I’ll jump in. UPDATE: I added this comment before seeing that you did include Amazon’s sale price. Good deal!

Hi, thankyou for your reviews, really well put together. Could you recommend a battery camera that would detect motion quick enough to catch a neighbour throwing rubbish over a fench. Thankyou again

[@ericr2zz]

It's called a "shotgun cam". Has a long barrel and a nice trigger to activate.

[@Czarina888777]

Useless response, Erik. My guess is the ring or the ezviz - c3x. He has a video on that one and it records 3 seconds prior to detecting motion.

[@cameraz99]

Your comment that you can't change the shape of the rectangular Activity Zones is a little misleading. People might think that you're stuck with three predetermined size boxes. You can change their size, location and shape somewhat (from rectangle to square). But, no, you can't make them trapezoid shapes as some other cameras can. That being said, no matter what size activity zones I set, my eufyCam E's don't pick up motion unless you're almost straight in front of the camera's line of sight. Another great review, btw.
