eufy security, eufyCam 2C Pro Wireless Home Security Add-on Camera, 2K Resolution, 180-Day Battery Life, HomeKit Compatibility, IP67 Weatherproof, Night Vision, and No Monthly Fee.

I have been trying to use this camera at my front door for about a month. The Good: The camera works well and provides good images -- that is, when it triggers at all. The Bad: The camera will miss almost all human activity, so probably it will not be very helpful in combatting porch pirates or alerting you to people approaching your home. I mounted this camera according to the instructions slightly above and to the side of my front door, where it covers my whole front walk and most of my front yard. (I also attached a permanent power cord, so the camera is always charging and usually shows fully charged.) The base station is nearby; the camera always has good connectivity. Since initial installation, I have also tried three other nearby positions in hopes of improving performance. Using the Eufy security app, I set the cameras alert zone set to cover my whole front walk and most of the front yard. I have tried the setting that supposedly detects humans and also the setting that detects all motion. I have also tried all sensitivity settings from most to least sensitive (and in both modes). My results: With the camera set to alert only when a human is detected: The camera almost NEVER detects motion. Mail persons, deliveries, and visitors to my house come and go -- quickly or slowly; even stopping -- even waving and jumping around -- right in front of the camera / in the center of the supposed detection zone. The camera almost never triggers at a person, so no video is ever recorded. With the alert zone set covering exactly the same area, but the app set to trigger at all motion (not just when people are detected): The camera detects all sorts of wind motion -- leaves, shadows ... pretty much any movement. Alerts are nearly incessant unless there is no air moving at all outside. EXCEPT: The camera still usually does not detect a person walking toward or away from it (moving diagonally from corner to corner through the detection zone). I have tried setting it to the extremes of sensitivity (both high and low). The camera can be adjusted to not alert at every leaf movement (cutting down on incessant needless alerts). I found no setting in which the camera will detect PEOPLE moving through the frame towards or away from the camera. Night vision seems reasonable and videos are clear in infra-red / black and white. But in night mode the device detects all motion -- it cannot be set only to detect people (though maybe it doesnt much matter, since that setting doesnt seem to work anyway). There is no way to set this camera to always record, nor is there a way to trigger it by another device. (For example: I also have the Eufy doorbell with camera. That device does work and usually does detect people. It would be great if I could set this camera to capture video when the doorbell detects a person. But alas, I have not found a way to that either.) Since Anker (and by extension, Eufy) products are usually very solid and reliable, I am left to conclude that either (a) this device is EXTREMELY sensitive to mounting height and precise angle -- so sensitive that the average user might never find the perfect (workable) spot that might get you an image that shows the face / front of potential intruders -- or (b) the hardware is good but their app and software logic is seriously flawed. Either way, one might better consider a different solution if youre looking for a camera to combat (human) porch pirates or alert you to someone checking out your house.

Nothing to dislike, picture quality is exceptional, install is simple, I’ve bought more since and NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION unless you want it.

Works great, easy setup

Do I like these cameras for their app functionality yes! Is their picture quality even close to 4k or even 1080p at best? HECK NO! And what the heck is this bs… when I try and enable 2k resolution I get this message “Since you have enabled NAS or subscribed to cloud storage, the recording will only support 1080P Full HD”. Umm wha…? Ok. You left that out in the ad Eufy! Also, if you have any need to continuously stream on this camera, forget about it, it times- out like many wireless cameras often do. Reolink are the only ones I have found they don’t. But this Pro C is an all-out marketing scheme!

Easy to charge and install. Sync can give you issues every now and then.

BEST CAMERA I’VE EVER PURCHASED. NO SUBSCRIPTION NEEDED. QUALITY IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. APP IS VERY EASY TO USE. BETTER THAN RING IN MY OPINION. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

this camera totally does everything advertised. Captures motion, my dogs, people walking outside, etc. Love the app-so easy to use and storage in my home base will last years before I need to reformat it.

Very nice camera, response time is great, battery life is fair, zoom is not the greatest on playback video.

I have ordered multiple cameras. The last two eufyCam 2C Pro cameras that I received, did not have plastic wrap on the package. The camera did not have plastic on the face of the camera which resulted in the face of the camera being scratched during shipment or possibly by the person that returned it. I question if these units should have been sold as “used” instead. The first replacement was received properly wrapped and packaged. Will have to see how the second replacement comes in. Probably won’t be purchasing anymore because of this.

We just installed 1 Eufy video doorbell (2K battery powered) and 4 of these cameras around our house. The install took about 6 hours, but I had to design and make 2 brackets to hold the cameras at 90 degrees in 2 places. Install was quite intuitive and the crispness of the picture is startling. My wife and I both feel far more secure now, knowing whats going on around our house. Still learning the features and how to best use the system, but so far we are quite pleased.
