Anker eufy Security Cam, 2C Pro 2-Cam Kit, Wireless Home Security System with 2K Resolution, 180-Day Battery Life, HomeKit Compatibility, IP67, Night Vision

Highly recommend the cameras. The motion detection is much better than the current ones we own. We plan to get additional cameras.

Installation wasn't bad, you need an ethernet port for the Homebase unit. These are rechargeable battery powered, so they need to be charged ahead of time. You'll need some kind of drill for the mounts, push the anchors in, screw the mount into place. Each comes with a mount hole template. Setup was fairly simple, read the instructions, download the app, follow the steps in the app. So far, they've been good cameras, great resolution, fairly stable when you have a strong wifi signal. The Homebase stores clips internally, so no cloud storage fees. Each camera has a small spotlight on it but it's a little dimmer than I'd like and doesn't light a very large radius. There are a couple of cons I've found: The wind blowing trees or bushes is enough to trigger the motion alert, cars passing at night also, I had to restart the system once because every time I looked at a new motion event I heard what sounded like a car backfiring or something, I checked and it wasn't an actual sound outside. I noticed the microphone on the camera isn't very good and couldn't even capture my conversation with my neighbor from a few feet away. I would have really liked some way to protect the front of the camera from rain, etc. It says 180 day battery, but I highly doubt that will be accurate without ideal conditions. Overall, I still really like these cameras and I would recommend them.

Best monitoring cameras I have ever purchased.

Easy to install great price and no monthly fees.

I don't need to pay for the cloud with it. And works great, and you can see very clear. I really like it

I liked this camera system, very high quality and user friendly!

I bought this to see where the bats are getting into my attic. I have to move to a new location.

Negatives: I have strong wifi. I only use my Eufy 2C Pro-Cam kit plus 1 added cam, cell phone, %26 TV media streaming device. So Eufy gets the lion's share of wifi. Yet, the motion detector misses deliveries made to my porch a few feet in front of the cam %26 never clocks my USPS woman. It took awhile to figure out that when the app's cache hits 35 MB, the cameras stop performing. This is daily. I also have to restart the Home Base regularly, at least weekly. Those actions don't resolve the disappointing camera motion detection range (not to be confused with the range of view, which is GREAT) %26 the unreliable recording. The positives are that I LOVE local storage! Overall, Eufy is a good, affordable product. I doubt the edge on motion detection range %26 recording capabilities of products from competitors outweigh the pros offered by Eufy. I hope to see Anker iron out these issues because I don't want to have to replace my Eufy cams.

The cameras have a decent image in either day or night. There is a slight stutter but it's not too noticeable. It also work phenomenally well with HomeKit. They are easy to pair and add to your Home app including automations. On to the dealbreakers: Battery life is atrocious and to add insult to injury the micro USB standard for charging is even more atrocious. The product literature says 6 months but I am usually getting days of battery. This is with as much of activity and notifications turned off and night light turned off. To make it worse, charging is usually 8 hours from empty to full on each camera. These numbers are unacceptable. I cannot be taking a ladder and removing cameras out of service for 8 hours each to charge. I would not recommend based on poor battery life. I am moving on to something else that is wired. This was kind of a disaster.

Home base wouldn't connect to cameras. Customer service for eufy was very helpful and will be sending a replacement but I am worried it won't work
