Works like a charm. Easy setup. But on Google home app. It shows up as a light and only controls the light. You have to go into the eufy app to view the camera. Not like a doorbell cam

When connecting to Google Home, this device only shows up as a light. You are not able to view video via Google Home. I should have done better research so missing this is on me. The product itself is excellent. The video, viewed thru the Eufy app, looks great. The AI tracking works well and the lights are bright.

This camera was purchased to replace an Solar Eufy 2K S40 Security Camera which had been getting slower and slower to recharge.Overall:- Installation wasn't too difficult; power was run from an unused outlet located in the attic prior to mounting the camera.- The inside back of the camera body includes a small strap that allows for the camera to be hung on the mounting base making wiring hook-up very easy.- Camera setup was also super-easy since we already use the Eufy App for other cameras- Its now been in operation for over a week in extremely sub-frigid weather (Kansas City, MO) and has performed very well. Its so much better than the previous camera.- The built-in security lights are also a nice feature and super-brightLessons learned:- I used Romex 14/2 wire from the power source. Unfortunately, the included splicing connectors were too small; instead I used three, red, butt splicing connectors I already had.- The installation directions are online; not in the box.- Its easier to set the camera up inside; before mounting it (which I didn't do, so it took longer)- This camera accepts a max 128gb micro-sd card; located in the base of the rotating camera head. Should you use it ensure to install it before mounting or setting up. Otherwise its not to access upside down.

I tried multiple different brands of cameras in my last years installing cameras in the buildings I manage. Eufy cameras are the best.Now with this one, t’s cool to have a camera that can follow individuals, and it works really well! I also like the feature that we can record 24hrs, all the time.

The screws are small and Philips it was hard to keep the screws on the end of the screw driver. If they used Torque screws or Square screws it would have really helped. The video and lighting is fantastic could not be happier. I was quite surprised that it actually panned and followed targets….:) Thanks Eufy. I also bought the Base and installed a 1tb hard drive so no more monthly fees. It was costing me 220 $ a year in fees from their competitor and the quality was poor, they only kept the videos for 30 days. With Eufy there are no fees and I decide when to delete videos with the 1tb hard drive on the base station. I think I am good for 10 years.

**UPDATE**I had a warranty claim pretty quickly. Not sure what happened, but I ended up with 1 dead camera out of 2. To my surprise, they seem to have addressed my major gripes about the S hook and the wire terminals. This looks way better (pic attached)! There is now a nylon loop to hold the camera up while you do the wiring. the wires have reusable Wago-style connectors, which ought work very nicely, especially negating the need for a screwdriver to connect wires now. Very good.______________________________________________________________________________Original Review:Cameras work great. Video is excellent, AI tracking is good, automations are good. I love the 3x zoom camera in addition to the wide angle. No need for a cloud subscription is a huge plus, like everyone else is saying. Overall, I'm happy, even though one of 2 has died within 2 weeks of installing it and now I have to figure out what the RMA is like. For the $, I'm glad I got these, because for even more money, 24/7 recording is a must have. I don't think there is anything on the market that has everything this has with none of the downsides until you get to $1000+ cameras.Gripes:No Matter, this is a huge deal, but I'll consider these an interim solution and one day they'll get replaced with Matter-enabled cameras when they come out.No video in Google Home. Only floodlight control.Floodlight color temp is not adjustable. I want warm white light. The color temp isn't too blue, however, so I can live with it.Does not tilt up high enough.My front yard has a very slight uphill grade. These cameras weren't designed with any up tilt. As a result, the 3x camera can't even reach the horizon. Not an issue with the wide camera. This is an an easy oversight and would have been an easy thing to avoid, just design the tilt limit to go above horizontal 10 degrees or so.My biggest issues are with installation...2 screws that secure the camera to its base, the last thing you do for physical installation, are on the sides. Depending on what you have near the camera, it could be difficult or impossible to get at those screws. In my case it meant an angled screwdriver. It would have just been better if they put the screws in the bottom/front face instead of the sides.The big silly S-hook to hold the camera up while you make the wire connections is dumb. High-end CCTV cameras use a cable lanyard that stays on the camera and tucks away when you button up the camera. This thing has to be kept somewhere handy if you ever need to bring the camera down.The worst thing about install is the wire connector/terminal block...1. the screws that pinch the wires are WAY TOO SMALL. I don't feel good about how secure the wires are in there with such tiny screws2. you can't fit a normal philips screwdriver in the plastic wire terminal housing, got to find a micro screwdriver. I think the screws would fit a #1 philips bit, but it's too deep and the plastic around it is too small diameter to fit a #1. Also since they're so small, the good luck not stripping out the philips head on the screw with the undersized screwdriver you have to use.3. once you have the wires tightened into the terminal block, you're supposed to press it into it's place in the camera base, but it's just a friction fit. You end up fighting it into place, and it pops out of place easily because the copper wires are stiff and trying to pop it out all the time.The whole wire terminal block they used is total garbage and they need to do better. This is the single worst thing about this camera... if they last more than a couple years, that is.

Love this device. Very clear pictures and a very bright motion light. Added it above our garage for extra security. Very happy with this purchase

This is a high quality camera and the pan function is very good.Pros: - No monthly subscription. - Can control and view remotely from the App. - Push notifications to your phone. - The A.I. can detect people, pets, and vehicles, and also pan the camera to follow them. - You can set zones to detect and zones to ignore. And you can set privacy zones to not record. - when paired with the Eufy homebase 3, 24/7 recording is supported.Cons: - The A.I. is still learning so it gets confused easily, I had to turn off push notifications because every time it snows it would constantly notify me of people being detected when it would just be snow flakes. - The detection zone doesn't work, the camera constantly detects vehicles driving by outside of the detection zones -If you set privacy zones the camera will no longer pan.

UPDATE:Still in 2024, still no issues, running flawlessly! If you’re having issues with Homebase 3 read below! Make sure you update both devices as well! If you have issues running homebase loading stream, just restart homebase 3 not reset!So the camera set up was pretty easy. I thought it was nice that you can actually power this with an extension cord and run power to the camera. Camera is pretty responsive and the notifications are MUCH quicker than my other cameras. I actually have the other 360 camera from eufy installed previously and I like this one a lot better. My only wish is being able to change the color temperature of the lights, no big deal, but I wish it was a bit more warmer temperature. No issues installing it with a standard round junction box, they have many cut outs so any angle is not a problem. Now keep reading if you are having issues about home base 3.I bought this camera for being able to record24/7 and for it being compatible with home base 3 since it can store up to 14tb of video on the device which is amazing. I bought an external ssd for the home base 3 and installed it. I also put an internal sd card inside the camera. Now setting up home base 3 after installing the camera was a breeze. You have to make sure you update both the home base and the camera in order to have them connected. It worked pretty well for a day or two with the camera. All of a sudden I had so many issues! No notifications, no 24/7 recording working, issues streaming. I was about to give up and actually return the home base 3 and let the camera run on its own without the home base. I really liked the home base because running it would also act like an extender for your devices connected to it. I went to reset the device and then from the initial set up, I actually set it up with home base 3 to see if that made a difference. It did! I added the home base 3 after installing the camera. My advice is for people having issues, just reset it and run it with home base from the beginning. If you bought the home base 3 and this camera, set up the home base 3 FIRST! Then add the camera and it will give you two options, connect using internet or home base 3. From that initial screen you must click home base 3. Yes you can change it later but you’ll run into issues like I have with no notifications or 24/7 stop recording and not working saying no video. Now with the homebase 3 this camera works flawlessly! I’ll update you guys if there any other issues but so far now it works really well, probably the best outdoor camera eufy has to offer! Especially with the clarity. I hope eufy makes other 24/7 recording devices. It’s such a game changer!
