Great comparison! Love the Wyze v3 for the starlight sensor. I've done a number of time lapse videos of the night skies, both with the clouds and with the stars. And the fact that it is designed for outdoor use means I don't have to figure out how to shield it. One other thing (Wyze v3 vs. the outdoor cam - v3 is always generating internal heat, so the lens doesn't fog or frost up like the outdoor cam does in the cold) I will say the Eufy audio sounds much better than the Wyze. Now if Wyze increased the size of their sensor, they'd really have something :)

I was using a Wyze V1 camera pointed out my front window for person detection and it worked great. After Wyze announced a fee for person detection, I switched to the Eufy Indoor 2K. To date, Eufy has not picked up a single person detection alert. I think the issue is the glass window because if I use Eufy inside the house (not through glass), it picks up person detection just fine. Just an FYI for someone thinking of using the Eufy 2K Indoor cam pointing out a glass window. I'm not sure if the Eufy can be remedied for glass as my understanding is it uses PIR sensor for motion rather than pixel analysis.

Nice work, but you missed an important distinction between the Wyze V3 and the Eufy Indoor cams by failing to show the video they capture in a very-low-light situation with night mode disabled - that is, no infrared, either emitting or detecting… just plain old daytime color mode. If you did this comparison, you would find that the Wyze V3's low-light sensitivity is *SO* good that the IR modes are practically unneeded. The Eufy cams are also surprisingly good in low light with all IR disabled, but their minimum-ambient-light threshold is higher than the Wyze - in other words, down to a certain darkness level, the Eufy and the Wyze V3 perform similarly, but the Wyze V3 can handle lighting even dimmer than that, whereas the Eufys cannot. However, that threshold level is low enough that the Eufys will work fine in no-IR mode in many cases where there's a source of ambient light in the area, such as a streetlight.

FYI, the Wyze Cam Google streaming issue has been figured out. Basically, the first time you ask it to stream a cam (called a cold start) google is marking the audio as 24 hours long and stalling out. If you instead ask google to stream it, stop google, then ask again within a few minutes, it's no longer a cold start, it's a warm start and the Wyze cam will now display reliably. Google is just spazzing out on it on cold start for some reason. Wyze said they are considering stopping audio until they resolve it (then it shows the first time), or possibly leaving it as warm start only until they fix it.

yeah, you're the first comment mentioning this and I thought I was the only one that was experiencing the blur. The motion blur on the EUFY's look terrible. I can make out his face at 25ft on the Wyze and when he's walking but really can't on both EUFYs. Overall picture quality is clearer on the EUFY on the static stuff but when he's far away or walking, there's so much blur and ghosting. I have the WYZE v2 and I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that really haven't had any problems with it and since I was an early adopter, I get the free Plus membership. I only have 2 of them (so switching wouldn't be a big deal) and was thinking of moving to EUFY because it seems everyone has. But now I'm not sure if I can get over the blurring. I'd hate to have a burglar in my house and not have a clear pic of his face. More than likely, as in the video, my blinds would be closed and the blurring would be more apparent.

Great videos! I picked up a Wyze V3 a few days ago and have it behind a double panned glass window. Night time recording is compromised due to reflections (camera is at an angle to cover the front door). What I mean by this is that I get recordings and alerts of internal movements because of reflections in the glass. No blinds or window covering, so adding blinds should help this issue at night. However, I am not very happy with the notification delay with the Wyze V3. It might come within 60 seconds, or it could be 10 minutes later. I’ve left the house to go to the store and get an alert in the store of the camera picking up the motion of me leaving some minutes earlier. I’m considering picking up a Eufy 2k to try out, but have read other reviews that have caught the Eufy phoning home to a Chinese server. That doesn’t give me much comfort either. I’ve considered a doorbell camera but my current doorbell is mounted on a 1 inch wide surface of the front door surround and without making some type of custom mount, I’m not aware of any doorbell camera that will fit there. I’ve not noticed any of your tests that report on security of these cams as regards hidden reporting to foreign servers. Is this of concern to you? I’m not sure if there are any options that don’t do this, but Eufy is the only one I’ve seen reported to do so.

Framerate on the Eufy seems a lot worse. Plus you are forced to keep it into 1080 with HomeKit, so might as well buy the Wyze with better night, and better framerate if you don't care about homekit. Audio is the only thing going about the Eufy. Eufy also seems less colorful than the Wyze, but a bit sharper with some pixelation going on around motion. Wyze is a little more blurry but seems more consistent. I bought both to compare, and had the same results as you camera too. I can see why others would choose Eufy over the Wyze - but framerate matters to me when I'm monitoring my birds breathing for one with health issues. Thanks for the comparison!

Starlight sensor in an indoor setup is not really effective. Inside the house there are only 2 situations...either somebody will turn the light ON or OFF (with flashlights) on either situations, more than likely both cameras will be in night vision black and white mode even the Wyze. The only effective use of a starlight sensor is for outside which I've shown in my other videos when there is some ambient light. Also, remember even when outside with a starlight sensor, more than likely the footage of a moving object will be blurry.

Also the app always says my Skybell is offline so it takes a minute to even open a notification or live view. And I am on 400mbs speed internet. Your videos had me on the fence between the Wyze v3 cameras but I hate that their doorbell hasn't been released yet. So I can't say that it'll be better then my Skybell. I couldn't pass up the deals on Cyber Monday. I got the Eufy Wired 2k for $109 And the 2 2k indoor cameras for $27 each.

You're uploading a 4k file to KZbin.. I'm assuming, you're recording your self in 4k - BUT - both Wyze and Eufy are - NOT - 4k. IF you're placing both the Wyze and Eufy media on a 4k timeline, you are distorting the media recording from both cameras, then again during your export. and then ones more when uploading to YT. The idea behind recording in 4k is to export at a lower resolution like 2k for example... this will help retain as much quality as possible AFTER upload to YT. --- IN A NUTSHELL ---> Shoot 4k to place on a 2k timeline.. then take your 2k export and upload that to YT. Which will give your audience - a crip 1080p to watch from home. Keep up the good work Sir.. Cheers!!

Have any of your reviews focused solely on systems that offer free storage solutions, however limited in duration, whether local or cloud based, as I for one am not interested in any system that tries to con you into a subscription based model? It's fine for those who like to pay subscriptions, but what's on offer if you do not, in 2021?

Hi lifehackster. I just tested my eufy 2k pan and tilt camera vs the wyze pan and tilt and the difference in image quality is night and day! Im not sure why in your tests, you can hardly see the difference between 1080p and 2k. I just ordered 8 pcs of the eufy 1080p pan and tilts. Looks like im returning them

High Life hackster, did you know that video streams can be hacked by hackers ??? Please also do a video on video stream security or also ask these companies themselves what their security is like. i.e. is the stream encrypted ?? Are the videos encrypted on their servers when uploaded etc etc
@LifeHackster4 жыл бұрын
Wyze is encrypted on their cloud and I know Eufy is both encrypted cloud and on the local memory.

@@LifeHackster I had to turn off WiFi 6 to get Eufy cams to work, so while their data is encrypted, they force me to use a less secure WiFi mode for everything else.

Another comparison of Eufy HD and 2K and I just don't see the advantage to me the Cam2, Cam 2c and indoor HD have same if not better picture quality day and night . When you see 2K you automatically think better quality and this certainly isn't the case and Eufy need to see this and address it

It is their compression..they need to change it or increase the bitrate..

I have had conversations with them and they won't change it and I can agree a little on there reasoning buy feel they spinning people who want 2k

The big problem at now with Eufy 2k is the ridiculous way to download the video from continuos recording, if you want to dowload 1 hour of the video yo have to record one hour in real life in your smaprtphone from de app, what about if you need 24 hrs ? imposible... :/ Because you can't directly backup de video from the microsd card to your pc.

I think it's funny that deep down the lady sitting there is trying to fathom how your making a living by doing this. But damn dude.. You give all the info needed just by repetitive comparison and all the specs of each device. I tip my hat to you sir.

Man! Wyze just came out with a Home Monitoring System. Keypad, door and window sensors, motion detectors and a Wyze Sense Hub. Leak and temperature sensors will be added later. With their low prices, they're going to kill the competition!
