Eufy cameras review

The EufyCam 3C offers tons of flexibility, and its battery and built-in spotlight are ideal for indoor and outdoor settings. The luminous spotlight gives you colourful videos at night instead of the bland monotones of typical infrared night vision.

It comes with the latest HomeBase 3 base station that handles storage and can act as a smart home hub. This extends battery life beyond what a purely Wi-Fi camera can do - up to six months, in fact.

The 4K resolution is unbelievably crisp, and although it's not the cheapest camera available, it is easily one of the most affordable 4K security cameras on the market. You can buy multi-packs with up to four cameras, which cuts the per-camera price, as well as single add-on cameras. This competes well against multi-camera kits from Arlo, which doesn't discount additional cameras as deeply.

The Eufy SoloCam S340 differs from Eufy's other battery-powered cameras by skipping the HomeBase hub. Instead, it connects directly to your home Wi-Fi network like a smartphone would. This makes it easier to set up and a little cheaper than the brand's other wireless cameras.

However, the shift to a direct Wi-Fi connection brings disadvantages. This camera doesn't have expandable local storage or work with cloud storage so you need to rely on the 8 GB internal storage for everything, unless you decide to fork out for the HomeBase 3.

Still, we love the camera's six-month battery life, and even better, the always-powered capabilities thanks to the included solar panel. As long as it gets a couple of hours of sunlight each day, you'll never have to charge it again.

Overall, we think the Eufy SoloCam S340 is a great place to start if you want to try out Eufy's wireless cameras without a hub. To learn more, read our full Eufy SoloCam S340 review.

The Eufy 2K Indoor Cam Pan/Tilt is one of the best values for an indoor security camera you can find anywhere. It's one of the most affordable HomeKit-compatible cameras, especially with 2K quality. We also like that it supports local storage on a microSD card up to 128 GB. With a behemoth card like that, there's more storage capacity than other Eufy cameras.

Sadly, it doesn't come with a microSD card, but you can buy the maximum capacity—a 128 GB microSD card—for around $20. Still, having that much storage on an indoor security camera is a remarkable deal compared to monthly cloud storage fees. Based on Eufy's estimates, 128 GB yields over a year of recordings.

Overall, the Eufy 2K Indoor Cam is a good option for folks wanting high-resolution video indoors with 360-degree coverage, and we love that it's compatible with Apple HomeKit.

The Eufy Dual Video Doorbell E340 has one of the highest resolutions we've seen in a doorbell camera. Not only that, but it has two cameras: One facing whoever's at the door, and the other at your doorstep, allowing for parcel delivery and pickup detection.

Another reason we like the Eufy Dual Video Doorbell E340 is its inclusion of 8GB local storage. If you thought that 2K was rare on video doorbells, local storage is almost unheard of. A large part of competitors' business models is requiring subscriptions to store doorbell footage. Eufy bypasses this, making it cheaper to maintain and a better solution for off-grid homes.

This is a doorbell camera, but the battery power means you can install it anywhere. This is great for putting the doorbell outside doors without existing wiring. Still, we like that you can use doorbell wiring with this camera—it supports both wired and battery installations.

The Eufy Floodlight Cam E340 offers brighter nighttime lighting than Eufy's battery-powered spotlight cameras. While those models are suitable for temporary lighting, the Floodlight Cam E340's dual LED lights produce a whopping 2,000 lumens. This is enough to illuminate a wide chunk of lawn for parties and gardening after sunset. Functionally, it also has the same lenses and (most of the same) features as its floodlight-less counterpart, the S340 (our beginner pick above).

Installing this floodlight camera is more complex than charging a battery or plugging in a power cord—it's more like installing a new light fixture. As such, you will need a licensed electrician to install it for you.

Overall, we like the Eufy Floodlight Cam Pro E340 for outdoor locations where extra night-time lighting is necessary.
