Eufy Cam "2 Pro" (365 day Battery life) - 2X Camera+Homebase $349.99

We get 30 to 45 days with our 2Cs. Not complaining really, we have pets leashed out front, and the back camera can't help but see a road (so lots of CARS), as well as a flag. I think 180 days is for just a few events / day, so you might get much less if you have them in busy areas.

We ended up hard-wiring the 3rd one...

Eufy told me battery life is rated for 10 events per day and the 2 pro cameras realistically will detect 20-25 feet in good weather.

I just need one additional 2K camera (in the meantime).
If anyone is looking for just one camera and a homebase, I can buy the extra camera.

Check Kijiji. I saw a posting a few days ago from someone selling the eufy 2K camera only (bnib, no hb) for $100. He was in Mississauga. Too far for me to check out.

Thanks!
Cannot find this listing now, probably already sold.

Description says HomeKit compatible. Can someone confirm that that is indeed so in practice?

@elkabong

Don't forget the Eufy Solar Panel is also on sale at BestBuy until Jan 5th - for $48.99, save $21. Should really help out those 2C's.

I picked one up for a 2C cam but not yet installed. Waiting for warmer weather here.

Curious why you post this same comment in every Eufy related post... I guess you also buy the products each time and later return it.

I think the rfd community deserves to know what’s right for them and have the necessary info to make an informed decision. Isn’t that the spirit of the the forum? To help each other out?

I appreciate the post regarding the security issue.. I am in 2 minds as well. I got the cameras at a really good price $315 at home depot due to a price match.. so idk yet what to do.

Unless cameras are installed inside, I have no concerns about anyone who wants to look at the video stored into it... If they want to see videos of me opening the door with the grocery and drop the dozen of eggs on the porch, videos of my daughter havig problems parking the car straight...

isn't the issue is that people can steal your porch packages, press 1 button on the outside camera and have the footage deleted everywhere including the cameras, on cloud and on your cell phone? Seems like a massive flaw!

Been security camera shopping, and it seems incredibly difficult to track down a camera that:

• Isn't riddled with privacy concerns
• Is affordable
• Works well

It feels like you essentially have to choose one. Even for $350 this Eufy set seems to suffer from lackluster battery life and security problems.
At this point I'm inclined to just find some cheap cams off AliExpress and setup something with ZoneMinder.

leahdizon - the rdf community does thx you for your post! I have also posted about the security flaws and did so because I wish someone had warned me before I spent $500+ on Eufy products. For me and others, a thief having the ability to delete the video from the externally accessible cameras and then being able to add the cameras to another account (sell the cameras) without the original owner removing the cameras from their account / app is unforgivable in a security product. Eufy cameras will cause security issues for you as thieves learn they can steal the cameras for resale and delete all the evidence of the theft with a push of a button. If your ok with this, buy away (better yet - PM me and I will give ya a deal on 2 X 2C cameras, 1 X eufyCam2, wireless doorbell + Homebase 2)!!

I do think you posting the flaw is valid and helps others make an informed decision. That being said if you’re posting that you will be returning the device in each and every new eufy post it kind of causes others to panic more than just pointing out the flaws imo especially since you are not purchasing each and every eufy product posted. Also there is a anti theft “alarm” that goes off when active which could deter some but if at the end of the day the thief wants a camera he will take the camera.

That being said I do have these cameras installed 2 months ago and the cameras are at 70-80% under the optimal surveillance setting. I believe I’ll need to charge these maybe 2-3 times a year given they’re in medium traffic areas.

If that's the issue, just to install the camera out of reach. Or inside, facing out from a window. Not that difficult....

Exactly - have the cams out of reach,

I bought a 2C system before this flaw became known. All of mine are well out of reach. Any attempts to reach the button would have me (if I was not home) calling my neighbours which include retiree's, constables, and firefighters, and a couple of work from homers. Unless it is a UPS delivery guy - the Eufy Human detecting AI never triggers for the guy in the brown uniform.
