Product Information

The HomeBase supports up to 16 devices, which means if you ever want to expand your home system with, say, a Eufy Video Doorbell 2K, it’s no hassle. Believe it or not, the only actual difference between the EufyCam 2 and the EufyCam 2 Pro is the camera sensor used. Eufy says this equates to around three months of video, based on storing 20 video clips, 30 seconds in length, per day.

If you’re looking for a simple and cheap way to keep an eye on your rental property that you only visit once every few months, the Eufycam 2 is a great solution thanks to its all-weather durability. Once a smart home camera is installed on your property, indoors or out, you can tune in remotely, streaming the live feed to your phone or device to check in on what's happening.Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to connect the base station to your router using an Ethernet cable and then press the Sync button on the camera to pair the two units together. I had an existing eufyCam on my front porch that is setup to flip on my hue floodlights when it detects motion through a HomeKit automation, so the installation process was a breeze as it uses the same mounting bracket.

While it doesn’t offer professional grade protection that backups every second of the day, the Eufycam 2 offers a seriously large feature set without a monthly fee attached. But what I've learned is that the EufyCam 2 Pro primarily excels in moderate to low lighting situations.

A glossy white coloring ensures these rectangular units won’t make too much of a statement in your home.For better and worse, there's been little monumental change in the Eufy Security app since our sister site, iMore, reviewed the 2 in December and 2C in May. Eufy claims this should suffice for three months' worth of footage, based on 20 events a day, each lasting 30 seconds. The EufyCam 2 family absolutely fits the bill with its subscription-free video model, local video storage options, and high-quality video and motion detection options. If you are just getting started with outdoor cameras, you can pick up a starter kit that includes everything you need. The Arlo Pro 3 is another great option that features an even higher-resolution sensor than the EufyCam 2 Pro, as well as a floodlight for infrared or color night vision.

We do really like the EufyCam 2 Pro and would recommend it for anybody who wants to check out a nice, affordable security camera and doesn't want to pay subscription fees. The base station is a compact unit, whose finish is matte white as opposed to the glossy white of the cameras. Detailed Night Vision: View recordings or live footage in crisp clarity, even at night, for a clear view of who’s there. But it sports lower quality video, poor nighttime performance when surroundings are really dark, and worse battery life.eufyCam 2 Pro, HomeBase 2, Mount, Micro USB Charging Cable, AC Power Adapter, Ethernet Cable, User Manual.
