Eufy Indoor Cam C220 Review: 360 Pan/Tilt

[@rorysalarms8110]

George Langabeer very Awesome Eufy Indoor Security camera also the fact it can do 260 pan/tilting is very cool as well.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Can’t go wrong with a good PTZ that’s only $35.

[@rorysalarms8110]

@@GeorgeLangabeer perfect price.

[@TheTop40hub]

Your video quality looks great on my oled George. Thanks for the video.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Nice!

[@phyllisgarrison2887]

Sounds like a great easy to use camera for the price.

[@kathymccready7786]

Thanks very much for this review. I have been on the fence about ordering it and you have convinced me. We will be using to monitor our pets. One of our dogs has seizures, so we want to keep track of what happens when we are away from the house. Given that, what size mico SD card do you recommend? Do you have a favorite brand? Thanks!

[@MohamedHassancsmind]

Cool Review Thank you so much. But I have a question if I opened the live stream from outside my home it will works or will become laggy ? because I tried another brand "Tapo" and I can't watch the live stream or make a call outside my home network.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I had no issues with lag when I was away from home.

[@Abohema543]

I couldn’t access to the camera if I am using another network in my mobile. So I couldn’t watch the home when I am at work!

[@jaynew9742]

I just bought one and I can’t scan the cr code to add this device then asks to manually type it but it’s asking for the 8 digit cr code but there isn’t one on the box or camera

[@pamelaoliver3523]

Same problem am having. Cannot scan

[@amielawrence1631]

Is the camera noisy whilst moving? Hoping to get it for my son who is at high risk of seizures so need the continuous recording at night time but he is also a very light sleeper so don’t want something that is going to disturb him.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

No, it’s pretty quiet.

[@SVest1024]

Great video George! I currently have two Eufy E220 cameras in the house and was looking to get a third for the garage. Do you know if this is an updated version of what I have or just a different camera with different features?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Thank you sir! It would be very similar to what you have, but with pan/tilt functions. My favorite indoor camera of theirs, is the S350 (which I’ll do a video on at some point). You might want to check that one out. amzn.to/4b7nGuF

[@dwaynehamrick]

Eufy does it again! its odd because their old indoor pan and tilt indoor camera E220 has Apple Home support. Please Eufy add Apple home support to all your cameras moving forward! I wish they would also add color options for black or white. Other wise great camera and awesome review my friend.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Thank you & agreed on all counts. I’d say the E220 is still my favorite option for indoors.

[@RolaCC8429]

Can you comment how is Eufy detection and video quality as compared to Tapo? Comparing Eufy C220 to Tapo C220 or C225. Also Eufy devices with and without Homebase.

[@RolaCC8429]

I just got one Eufy C220, currently without a home base. The camera doesn't seem that smart. It continues to notify me on movement or motion detected on the same person every few seconds. I cannot set don't notify on familiar faces or motion detection on certain busy areas.

[@zazfency14]

I brought the Micro SD card and I think the store here in NZ gave me the wrong one, is the card supposed to stick out a bit or meant to fully go in the slot?

[@stillalive-gmo3851]

Thank you!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@PreparedGuy]

Can this be used without a eufy home base?

[@kimphillips1100]

Sounds light a great camera for the price. Why won't they make camera's for Home Kit?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

It is indeed. 2K and 360 pan tilt at $35 is awesome. I’ve asked and unfortunately Eufy haven’t hasn’t given me any good answers. They were on a roll with HomeKit cameras for a while. It’s a shame that’s no longer the case.

[@chrisg2739]

im looking for a good indoor cam for my chicken coop. Right now im using a blink camera.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

This camera would be a good/inexpensive option.

[@PabloTheThinker]

How does it compare with the C120? Just the pan and tilt?

[@MartinaTaylor-j8o]

Great video. Thank you. I read another review from PC Mag that commented that the Eufy E220 have 8x digital zoom..... "The camera captures video at 2K (2,304 by 1,296) resolution and has a 125-degree field of view and an 8X digital zoom. Eight infrared LEDS provide up to 33 feet of black-and-white night vision. The camera assembly contains a microphone and a microSD card slot for storing event-triggered video locally." I know you reviewed the C220 but I cannot find anything to tell me how to activate the digital zoom on the C220, any thoughts?

[@niravniel561]

Hi, you didn't mention if it can be connected to homebase 3 or not

[@User-is2kf]

Thanks for the video can you please review this havent seen much online about this Tapo C720 Tapo Smart Floodlight Camera

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I would love to review that camera, but I live in an apartment & I can’t change the outdoor electrical fixtures. Great suggestion though.

[@raprapracaza7902]

How were you able to change the orientation? I can’t find it in the settings

[@danbrezoy4471]

What does it register on? Does it have its own memory?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

You can use a SD card (up to 128GB) for free storage.

[@naelaali5987]

Where do I get a SD card?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Amazon. Best Buy. Target. Walmart. CVS. Walgreens…several places

[@sspirito3130]

Is it possible to link this camera to the Home Base station?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Last I checked it was compatible with the HomeBase 3, but only with the recording option, not the advanced AI.

[@jordandejesus5554]

what is the camera mount you're using for this?

No, it does not.

[@Makingdifference100]

Can you please provide me with the specifications of the white support unit used to secure the eufy Security Indoor Cam C220? The one you are using to secure the camera on the wall. Thanks a lot, and I love your video.

Hi what do you think about reolink lumus v2? Grazie!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I wish it had a higher frame rate, but otherwise it’s a decent little camera for the price.

[@AVIDAlimf]

@@GeorgeLangabeer My eufy c210 cameras are not reliable. I would like to change to a cable cam and I think lumus reolink is a good choice. I try! :) Thanks and congrats for your nice videos 👋👋👋

[@eddieharcourt6049]

Can I check the video feed from anywhere? Like, if I go on vacation? How close to the camera do I need to be?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

If you have the camera connected to WiFi, you can see it from anywhere in the Works (as long as you have WiFi or cell signal).

[@nickreidhead5]

What do you think about the data leak that happened last year with Eufy?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

That was almost two years ago now. Their initial response was underwhelming, but after some backlash, they responded accordingly & solved the issues.

[@kevinwang4870]

Nice video. When traveling out of country, do you need to change the region in Eufy app settings to access devices?

[@bbbt8090]

I have one in my house. Works pretty well and the features are great. Only way to hack this thing is if the crooks have a wifi blocker or your power dies on your block

[@aldrinbasilan365]

I was in the store and just want to check the review of this product and thankfully I saw your review. Very insightful which made me automatically purchase. Thank you.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Awesome. Happy to help. Thanks for watching!

[@AdventurewithBill]

What’s your thoughts on eufy vs arlo these days? Trying to find the best wireless for indoor and outdoor and would be awesome if HomeKit was also a feature.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I’m not a fan of Arlo. Never have been. For indoor/outdoor/homekit, the Eufy 2C is always my go to.

[@neeshneesh2301]

Can i still use this as my outdoor cam?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

This camera is not rated for outdoors.

[@hqt4272]

How are you powering it up? Can it be hard wired or through a wall socket/usb?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

@@hqt4272 I have it plugged into a wall outlet on the other side of the wall.

[@aristidesbenitez4350]

Does it needs to be connected to the internet to stay recording? I like to go the woods and sleep sometimes at the beach and I would like to set this type of camera inside my vehicle

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

It needs to be connected to the internet.

[@stevepackard8542]

I just bought this camera and it will not connect to my wifi. It says it won't run off of 5ghz. It only works on 2.4 ghz. My Comcast service is 5.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Yeah, it’s 2.4ghz only.

[@stevepackard8542]

@@GeorgeLangabeer Who has 2.4 ghz? I just bought a mini Blink at Best Buy today. Did you review that? Any thoughts? I don't need 24/7 recording. Just an alert if someone comes in. It was $20. Easy to install.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

@stevepackard8542 Most routers nowadays are dual band (or tri-band), so 2.4 is still very viable. I’m not a fan of Blink. Cheaply made & privacy issues.

[@stevepackard8542]

@@GeorgeLangabeerWhat do you mean by privacy issues? It just faces my front door. So far my Blink is doing what I want it to. It was $20 and will alert me if someone tries to come in while I'm out. I don't need to talk to my kids or pets through the two-way. If you could tell me more about what you don't like with Blink I would appreciate that.

[@kevinlee6175]

What’s the point of this camera? They already have the pan and tilt 2k?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

The 2K Pan/Tilt is 4 years old now. So this new camera offers an updated model at a slightly cheaper price point.

[@kevinlee6175]

@@GeorgeLangabeer exactly I feel like they’re regressing with this camera. Why make a camera that’s 4 years ago and add minor features. And the price why not just drop the older eufy pan and tilt. I wish they made an affordable 4k pan and tilt

[@TechWithTony]

Hang on George they claim HomeKit compatible. Can you double check that?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Where do they claim that?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Directly from their FAQ section… Does IndoorCam C220 support HomeKit? No. It does support Smart Displays using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, but currently doesn’t support HomeKit.

[@TechWithTony]

Sorry I thought this was the E220 I was researching that one when I got on to your trusted videos. Thanks !!

[@عباسسعد-و8ر]

What is the name of the application?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Eufy Security

[@LEOretired]

NO PET detection. Their 3 year old original pan & tilt has 2k & pet/people detection. This not an upgrade from Eufy.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

It’s an UPDATE, not necessarily an upgrade. This is a new model that is updated for 2024 and has a cheaper price point. Eufy isn’t saying it’s an UPGRADE.

[@DanZimmerli]

You’re trusting Eufy?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

The Eufy privacy issues happened almost 18 months ago. It took me awhile to forgive them for their response to those issues, but I can’t hold a grudge forever. I have talked to people at Eufy in great detail about my concerns & they have put my mind at ease. I find the best time to trust a company privacy wise is after an incident like that. Because the company will typically go crazy in locking down their product after that & I find that’s the case here. So that’s a long answer, but yes. lol

[@danbrezoy4471]

Hi, between what temperatures does it work? I intend to mount it under a roof, outside!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I would NOT put this camera outside.

[@Sah-dd1zh]

Just such a bummer with no HomeKit support, but if it did have HomeKit support it would likely be $50, which may be the calculus behind not supporting that platform. George, even their old cameras that do support HK don’t allow for sound detection in the manufacturer app and they blame it on Apple. Other camera companies allow sound detection in their app even if they support HK… just wanted to hear your thoughts on that because to me it just seemed untrue.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

It is a bummer and you’re right about the price. I’m sure it would be higher if it supported HK. As far as sound detection, it’s not for everyone. I’ve been doing this for nearly 25 years & very rarely do I encounter someone who cares about sound detection. I personally agree with you & think it’s a great feature. But a lot of people don’t understand the benefit (even after I tell them). I think camera companies know this, so it’s just not a priority.

[@mikegoldnj]

Honestly, I originally had my first Eufy Cam2s and Homebase 2 set up with HomeKit but eventually reverted to using via the Eufy app as I saw lag and of course the downgrade/limit in video quality with HomeKit. Ultimately it wasn’t worth it just to be able to see my cam feeds on my AppleTV.

[@EmreSaracoglu]

Max. 15 FPS?

[@mikegoldnj]

Will this work with my Homebase 3 rather than having to use an SD card?

[@amyclaire29]

What camera would you recommend for a elderly parent . I just want to check in or be alerted of a loud crash etc. No monthly plans.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

This camera would work.

[@salehm.229]

Q: can I buy three of them and use them with the app only without the home base ?

[@joychang91]

Thank you for the review. I have the question is how you charge the camera?? Or just hide the charge system??

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I hid the power cord. It plugs in with a usb-c cable.

[@TheBonkening]

How does this compare to something like a Tapo C220 or C225?

[@nanekgaming]

Up same

[@TheKingsComingAlefTav]

Yeah but when you put it on privacy mode is it still listening

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I can assure you it is not.

[@TheKingsComingAlefTav]

@@GeorgeLangabeer now George you better be a IT person to know that for sure 🤪

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

@TheKingsComingAlefTav I’ve been installing security cameras for nearly 25 years. I’ve been dealing with: firewalls, port forwarding, port triggering, virtual servers, UPnP, static IPs, DHCP, DDNS, Dynamic DNS, IP & Mac binding, bandwidth control, MAC addresses, RTSP, TCP/UDP protocols and military grade encryption….since before most current IT people were born. So yeah, I can assure you they aren’t listening when in privacy mode.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Smart speakers and SmartPhones can listen to you because there are no laws against it. But The Federal Government can shut a security camera company down if they are using audio without the user’s permission, It’s against federal law.
