Eufy IndoorCam Mini Review - Features, Unboxing, Video Quality & Testing

[@IanMichael87]

Your content is excellent. Most thorough of the reviews I’ve seen on KZbin. I’ve purchased multiple cameras based on your reviews alone. I’m hoping Eufy is at least sending you free merch as a TY.

[@LifeHackster]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lausf01]

Just me. I think it looks shit. Not cute at all.

[@verygoodbrother]

Video idea/suggestion - It'll be nice if you made quick vids showing how to integrated the various cams with google/alexa

[@terri5757]

I don’t have a USD card slot. I have an iPhone which doesn’t have them. How would I be able to record and save my videos to my photo gallery? Or get my videos uploaded to my KZbin channel? Thanks!

[@angm1982]

Great vídeo 👌👌👌 France 🇫🇷

[@MalcombMedia1]

Great video! Is this one better than the Eufy Indoor Cam C120?

[@AMEERJAN-t5m]

its wired or inbuilt battery supported ?

[@LifeHackster]

Wired/plugged in.

[@Fleed907]

Thanks for the review...I've got the P24 tilt and pan. Comparing it with the mini I don't see much advantage with the mini except the more tilt which is great if you place your camera on a table or a shelf. Also the privacy feature in mini is nice, but in my P24 I do the same manually by just turning it towards the wall. Also the wider lens in the pan and tilt makes it better than the mini.

[@LifeHackster]

There is really not a lot of difference both are pretty good options.

[@marcusaurelius3487]

Can you connect both of them to the homebase 2?

[@ronm6585]

Thank you. 👍🏻

[@LifeHackster]

You're welcome!

Brother can I install 4 cameras in my home and be able to watch them all at once in one screen?

[@lewydfly45077]

Is it possible to use two phones linked to this or the older device so both myself and my wife can operate and view

[@Mangold108]

Why I can’t switch off the IR leds in night mode ? Or at least set the intensity ? Thanks

[@LifeHackster]

You can, just toggle auto night vision to off.

[@Mangold108]

@@LifeHackster yea but I would prefer to have more camera sensitivity and the option to manage the led lights 😉

[@erikpilon]

@@Mangold108 ah, like with Automations? Or IFTTT? I’ll check tomorrow if detection can be enabled without nightvision.

[@alonzonunez5037]

Does this camera record 24/7 to sd card in 2k 1440p or is it only in 1080p

[@LifeHackster]

Only 1080p for 24/7 recording.

[@arcee610]

In the manual, it says you can use it on a wall mount (page 10) it also has a picture. However, I don’t see the hole to screw in a mount. So is it able to use on a tripod?

[@lucaspeterssson]

does this work with the eufy keypad? say if i arm my system using the keypad, all the sensors will work and also the cam mini will turn off the privacy mode and start recording and when i disarm my system with the keypad the sensors will shut off and the cam mini will enter privacy mode again?

[@Donkjnr]

Another gear video LH, loved the way you moved around during the tracking test. But that got me thinking. Some times you get multiple home invaders. Just for future proofing your already great testing model, what happens when multiple people move around the room during the tracking event and how the pan & tilt cameras cope with it?

[@LifeHackster]

I have to check and test this out. I think it will follow the bigger or whoever is closer.

[@emidiobosco7140]

Do you like the Wyze pan or eufy pan ?

[@karthikcs6373]

Will this camera trigger Alexa show when motion detects…?? Please reply…

[@bass_guy8074]

Wish i would have seen this first. I ordered the p24 on prime day and let down. Current wyze user but wyze ai and notifications still isn't as good as eufy. 1. P24 Does not pan down enough like the wyze ptz and the mini. 2. P24 Does not have the angle default. Which the wyze does as well as the mini. Wanting to move away from wyze if possible. The doorbell has been meh. The color night sensors from wyze makes it good but the notifications are meh like I stated. So torn to move away from wyze but the loading issues and playback freezing. Not to mention no highlighted events on your timeline when playing back as the eufy has. Any other suggestions to compete with wyze and eufy?

[@RogerBrenon]

What are you recording the video with. Which SD?

[@Ovalrapture]

Great Video, but the app setup is the most annoying experience I've had in a long time.

[@jamesandersen0007]

I'm not sure. I have to do a comparison...

Is the pan and tilt cameras really this loud when moving?

[@estusflask982]

yes

[@foxtrot7317]

I can’t find the micro SS slot. Where is it?!

[@erikpilon]

You need to tilt the black part of the camera upwards (make it look up), it’s under there.

[@a-framesurfmedia]

Great review thank you so much. Do you know if it is possible to set-up the siren to go off automatically when motion is detected?

[@alanmc9152]

Can't believe they haven't gone Type C in a new product. That's me out

[@parvezahmedjalil7310]

It's permanently going to be plugged in anyway for power. Makes the hardware cheaper too.. Look at the product and don't overlook USB connection... Ffffffffs!

[@alanmc9152]

@@parvezahmedjalil7310 I expressed a personal opinion. Why the offensive remark?

[@CompTechMike]

Agreed! I've bought several cameras recently. The S40 and L40 (despite their crap connection dropping issues) at least use modern USB-C connections. The stupid $300 Floodlight Cam 2K Pro, despite coming out at the same time, uses Micro USB. I had to dig in my drawer for a cable for it. They could at least have made them all consistent. 🤔

[@6NoMade6]

Bro it's a camera not a mobile 😂

[@robbambino]

Does this require a hub to work ?

[@simills6535]

no

Do you use ring or eufy cameras?

[@LifeHackster]

Both.

[@nickgallegos430]

Home privacy mode BIG feature…

[@cedolic]

i can't connect this camera with alexa

[@shadow.banned]

All they have to do is put an IP6X enclosure and let users use HomeKit. That's it... None of their wired cameras let people do what we actually need to do.

[@zuhairhlayel]

💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@CompTechMike]

Having bought into this ecosystem (six Eufy cameras myself, and others installed for friends), I am consistently underwhelmed by their products. Sure, they're not going to be as powerful as the big PoE cameras and truck fleet cameras I install for work, but this little thing is rubbish. Almost like they don't listen to what their customers actually want at all. 🤔

[@swiftaudi]

This seems to be a recurring comment I hear. Thanks for the heads up.

[@RigginTheRod010]

They've gotten better since then

[@LGyn]

I appreciate your work, inspirational.

[@Nina9Ross]

@@LifeHackster Hi, I appreciate your detailed info regarding eufy cameras. What type of sd micro storage card to insert to the eufy camera?

[@iblackfeathers]

the product line with the “mini” label, and missing certain features while being more expensive makes it seem like the regular 2k will be replaced soon with a either upgraded model or a newer model. it would be great if they figured a way to make an upgraded non-mini outdoor model. (not saying this is going to happen, just a logical possibility considering the current state of products.) if so, just before black friday would be a way to time its release.

[@Seriesfan1]

Naah I will stay with my almost round eufy pan & tilt. They are the goat

Another very cool product from Eufy. I really liked the tracking speed. The audio quality on Eufy is always great. Video quality was good. Just wondering if the infrared lights are visible at night? Thanks for another great review and for keeping us up to date on new products!

[@LifeHackster]

The IR LEDs are tiny but visible. I have to compare this with the Pan V2.

Can you view the live view continously for as long as you like? For example, the Blink indoor cams only let you live view for 30 seconds at a time. Which I hate

[@LifeHackster]

You should.

I've noticed that my units (2) will trigger motion notifications when panning and tilting in live view. Also have a ton of false motion notifications on both units at times. Does yours have these issues as well?

[@LifeHackster]

I only use human detection. I don’t use all motion because it will trigger those false notifications.

I bought one of these cameras a few months ago I'm not totally happy with it I don't like that I cannot get the gel fencing to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it sure seems pretty straight forward. In several nights a week about 3:00 a.m. it gets up and does its thing spins around

[@LifeHackster]

[@BicoGeddann2]

does eufy mini have the auto reboot option through the app ? thank u

[@HappyfoxBiz]

OK from what I can see this camera is awesome... 1. it shows you with glowing eyes at night which makes you look freaky 2. it shows you in full Karen "I'm recording you mode" and reports the Karens faster than Receptionist can call security 3. it has clear picture, reasonable audio day/night and in various lighting.... not perfect but it's damn better than what we had ages ago and especially is worth the price IMO. I just purchased it and I will be looking into playing with it for a little bit longer before finding a nice forever home for it, where it will serve me until it inevitably dies.

[@ChrisPBacon007]

Is there a playback? Mine says there is no video for playback

Did you insert a micro SD card? Also you need to arm the camera in the security section making sure that the recording is ON.
