Today, we will check out the EufyCam 2, a 365 battery life wireless WiFi security camera from Eufy. Thank you Eufy for sending me this system for review. We will do the unboxing, check out its features, set it up and check the settings in the app. We will then do the install so that we can check out the video and audio quality and run battery of tests and see if this WiFi camera system is a good fit for your needs.
I have reviewed the other wireless camera from Eufy like the Eufy Cam E and the Eufy Cam 2 C.

Thanks for the EufyCam review. Recently picked up the Eufycam2 2 camera set up along with the Eufy Video Doorbell. Having formerly used the Arlo Pro and Blink XT2 and I use Apple Home Kit and Alexa in our smart home I like that Eufy has "some" of its devices HomeKit enabled. Support told be that they don't have anything firm timeline on the Eufy video doorbell becoming HomeKit enabled, that has been my only frustration with the Eufy ecosystem so far, just a bit fragmented.

I bought these camera's Eufy Cam 2 after seeing this review. Advise to anyone thinking about them choose very carefully. If you want a security alarm with a cam this maybe good but if you want to protect your property think again maybe reolink. I bought these as i had a problem with a neighbour the camera missed so much that i now have to go out and buy a POE 24/7 system. Update. After 1 month the batteries are dead. These are not worth it.

No mention of a guide was available from either the directions or the Eufy site. The online guide I found was a duplicate of the paper Quick start guide included in the box. Thank you.

having used it for one week, Ill list some pros and cons, Pro's easy to set up, very good picture clarity, Cons, Because there is no zoom , Identifying people beyond 15 feet becomes hard. Cannot connect it to your PC without a subscription. There is a 10-15 second lag from notifications, SO if you look out your window the person is long gone. Otherwise its decent camera.

I have used this camera for over 6 months, the one thing which botters me a lot is that the recording starts too late. The PIR should wake up the camera and start recording immediately, but in reality it sometimes take 4 to 6 seconds to wake up the camera and for a recording to start. For example it takes 8 seconds to walk from the beginning of my property to my front door, and often the recorded footage starts when the person is almost on my doorstep (the last 2 or 3 seconds). To the contrary, it DOES record footage of cars and persons walking way further in front of my house. It's just not very reliable in that sense. But it beats anything else because you don't need a subscription and the local storage is not in the camera itself but in the homebase (very smart)

LifeHackster great suggestion but when testing the Eufycam 2 in motion detection mode, it lit up red much more consistently when approaching the camera as to going across it. This may be something worth testing when doing your EufyCam comparison. I wonder if it’s specific to this brand?

Since yesterday owner of the Eufycam2 with HomeKit, nothing to complain about the quality with the price. Why would you like to have 4K? It’s going about detection right not about having videos in 4K quality. As Full HD is enough for me I’m happy with it. Nothing to the cloud, just locally internally in the Hub. Only thing to figure out is to see if it is possible if we can record the last 10 minutes, I know Arlo has the function to record 24/7, missing this option only. Works great with HomeKit!

What would happen if for instance the base is shut down for a given period of time? What if the power is up but the internet connection is down? (local area network still up) On the other hand, between this model and 2c which one would you recommend? Regards,

Thank you for a great review. I find that by way of functionality this camera system does have very high ambitious aspirations. But it has some inherent flaws. First being it's ability to detect motion quickly. It appears the camera is in hibernation to save battery thus when the motion detector picks up movement it needs to "wake up the camera" which means crucial seconds can be lost. Sometimes the motion detection simply fails. Night vision is not so great. Daytime video quality is very good. I also found that in human only detection mode it picked up my large truck and a four legged feline as humans. If it's sensors worked effectively and perfectly then this camera could be the best in the market. The different settings are scattered across the app thus making it a bit cumbersome to use.

I like the simplicity of installing it wire-free. Battery is holding up good. You just need to play around with the motion detection until you get it right. I wish it had the option to only get notifications if it detects a person, but still record all motions and not send notifications of every motion detected. There is still more room for improvement and hopefully Eufy updates it with a couple more options in the settings.

Do the cameras still need to connect directly (wirelessly) to the BASE STATION? If so, is the range better than the original eufycam? To me, that is the only downside to the original eufycam is that the range between camera and base station is pretty short before you get low signal.

Personally, I don't like the fisheye effect due to the high FoV and the lower image quality because of that. For Example, has the Argus2 a way better quality because the FoV is more focused with 120° and the audio quality is way better than Eufy has. The compression of all Eufy products are not the best, Eufy have to switch to H.265 and I would love to see a 2k/4k camera with something like "starlight" like the Argus. Anyway.. I don't want to miss my 2C System because the detection works really good and a totally wire-free system can't solve every problem.

Does the home base have it's own battery back up. If the bad guy just turns off the power, will I get the notification via the app that movement was detected?

Hello from Australia. This is a great review and the first one I found on KZbin. I’d like to know if the camera feed can be sent to two mobile phones at the same time?

I like all you Eufy videos and I'm trying to decide if the Eufy camera 2(or Pro) would meet my needs. It's between this camera and the Eufy 2c. You did not show the Eufy 2 camera video without any of your flood lights on. Can you make out any facial features if the flood lights are not on? Thanks

The Base is like a wireless "hot-spot" for the cameras. My single house home has brick covered walls. Is this a show stopper with Eufy Cam 2 ?

Hi, another good review. Will this system work with WiFi only. I noticed that you said it needs to be connected to a router initially. Once set up , will it work by my phone's tethered WiFi. Thanks.

Good review ! I know you will compare them with the EufyCam E and 2C but would like to know your original thoughts compared to the EufyCam E. I bought the EufyCam E with a good deal and I am hesitating to sell them for the EufyCam 2.

@LifeHackster, do you know of any intent by Eufy to improve their artifact issues? Things get blurry with motion, and that is really a negative.

Thanks for the info very helpful. Maybe I missed the range from the base to a camera. I would like to place an outdoor camera about 70 feet away from the base station and also it would be behind a fence. Any thoughts on the possibility of the camera functioning properly? 2nd question, will Eufy create and build an wifi extender in case the range is limited?

Great review of the setup and functions, but no ref. as to the range of the wifi to camera; I realize there are numerous factors, but 10M? 30M? Any distance/condition reference would help. Several Amazon reviews had complaints about limited range. Thank you Sir! And stay healthy.

How is the range from the Home Base? I’m thinking of placing the Home Base in the room over the garage and the first camera over the garage door. If I place the second camera on the other side of the house at the back of the house, will the signal drop from the back camera? Can I use a WiFi extender to secure the signal with the second camera? I read a review which says that the WiFi extender would not work because the cameras are linked directly to the Home Base, not to the WiFi. Is that true? Thank you so much for your reviews. They are the best.
