I just want to thank you for all of your videos! I had been looking at the Eufy system for almost a year and you were ABSOUTLY the only reason that I did choose Eufy. Meanwhile, I keep watching your videos and have expanded my arsenal of Eufy products. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future! Thank you! ! !

I have 1080 cameras and they are supposed to offer full night vision colors, and when we need it the most, the plate numbers were not readible!

Almost, they have all the options and the same top of the line hardware (4K) but they capped the bitrate so you can't see the quality. Faces are still blurry at 5m. Such a shame as they really do have the best software if you don't need the clarity. Basically, a Eufy 4K camera would be similar in quality to Reolink's 2K camera as Reolink allows a much higher bitrate even though it has almost 2.5x the amount of pixels.
any recommendation for the hard drives? I can't find a reliable 2.5-inch hard drive that's rated for 24/7 operation, other than Seagate. I would like to avoid seagate.
I can already see the indoor pan and tilt used outdoors is preferred. Am I missing a product that can compete? I think a solar panel + eufy pan tilt (180 function continous recoding) + internal battery is a dream setup
Great review. Do you think this camera is a significant upgrade over outdoor cam pro 2K? Bitrate is probably just slightly higher on this one. Outdoor cam will also gain Homebase 3 support.
Great video. I wish Eufy would allow you to view all cameras live feed at once on their app. These are wired, so no need to be concerned about battery life. Google nest supports this feature.
Definitely would like to see a video on wiring up camera's that require it

I really like this camera package! It has a lot of elements that I am looking for. However, if you would compare it to Reolink Duo 2 Wifi with their NVR. To your opinion, which one would come out as best?
I was wanting to archive a clip that was not considered an event. I could not figure out how to do is so I chatted with eufy. If you want to do this, go to the live feed of the camera that recorded what you want, then go to the time you want to capture and record it on your device. You can only start and stop the recording outside of the event, but it does work.
Awesome video! Do you have a suggestion for a setup that can support many more cameras (30+)?
IR night vision is better than the color one I think but I like the homebase. The installation part is great!!

What kind of poe splitter are you using? Could you make a video about ways to power the Eufy E330? Thank you!
Hey I have a Eufy outdoor cam e210 or e220 (not too sure) I had the motion detection on and was wondering if a light turns on whenever something moves? I did turn off the spotlight. Does that help? I’m asking because I have this camera a little hidden from view so that way it doesn’t get knocked down and wouldn’t want it’s location to be discovered

Hi LifeHackster: Thanks for your review of the Eufy E330 professional camera. Since this is a professional-grade camera, maybe I am about to ask a stupid question, so please forgive me for that. I didn't hear you mention about RTSP stream. Does it support the RTSP stream?
Enjoy this review... For the first time in a long while I got lost in a review.!
Yes please make a separate video on poe
We're you able to view the cameras through the Eufy web portal and Alexa? I keep getting "Establishing a secure channel" on the portal.
You would think that with 24/7 recording, that the motion detection distance would be much greater (than the old IR based eufy cameras). Unfortunately it still seems that motion detection is only good up to 40 ft or so. Is the motion detection range any farther if you turn of "human only"?
I'm not going to lie I really like this review. Will probably buy these cameras just off of the review alone. I don't know how I'll setup the wired cameras but I'll try. I wish solar was a option too
Good to know it was 24 hour recording. That's not necessary for most people. I was considering this camera but I'll be looking into some of their other options.
7:04 I was trying to see where you turn on 24/7 recording like the other cameras. Thanks! I do wish you can disable or set to a certain time frame though. I don’t need all 4 channels recording 24/7 Or have the options to do 2k/60 during motion , etc for certain cameras
@LifeHackster
10 ай бұрын
I was surprised too that they don’t have this option…the cameras automatically record 24/7.
Do you know if multi bridge feature’ll became available to all the cameras?
Do you know if you can view all eufy cameras like the NVMS you have behind you? I’d love to have a dedicated monitor to be able to see all my cameras live at once in case of a break in
How works the storage? Will it rewrite over old video’s When the storage is full?
Would love to see a PoE video LH. Thinking of swapping my 2c to back of house (less notifications, more battery life) and a powered for the front with 24/7 recording. I'm not sure whether to stick with Eufy or move to another provider I.e Swann etc etc. Thank you for your work as always 👍

Have you notice with Eufycams, lot of times when your phone is connected to your home wifi and the homebase is connected to same wifi trying to liveview or look at a recorded even lot of time it just clocks until you try 2-3 times but if you disconnect your phone from you home wifi and it's using it's phone signal that the videos come right up?
Thanks again. I’m curious on what both your mobile & home internet download/upload speeds are, just to get a reference on your notification speeds. I notice your mobile is always around the 2 bars, which in some areas means you can get inconsistent speeds - could be the reason behind the delay in receiving notifications?
@LifeHackster

I have 1 GIG internet.. as to notifications and you can watch my other videos as well... and with LTE connection, Ring cameras, around 4-6 second range with thumbnails, Eufy most of their cameras around 6-7 seconds on Text and 10 seconds on thumbnail... Reolink is pretty fast around 2-3 seconds but just text. Anyways, the notification speed depends on the brand's respective servers.
I need a camera to detect motion from 30-50 metres. What can you suggest?
Best review
My camera doesn’t record 24/7. When I go to the events timeline all I can see is the motion events and other than that the timeline says “no video “. Any ideas what the issue is?

Hi, thanks for the video. Please make a POE splitter video.
How did you use POE? I have POE everywhere but no A/C I stop my install to wait on your video on how to use POE for this camera
Do you have any hacks that I can use for wall mount , the round base where screws go in. Mine broke and eufy or no one else has them.
Hi...since you mentioned it has a micro sd card slot, can it work without home base 3?
Question about see license plate when car moving about 15-20MPH day or night(maybe less)?
I was wondering if you can help me out with my eufy 2k wireless camera, having issues with one of my cameras not getting the Wi-Fi signal and it’s not working , it’s weird because the other camera it came with that’s farther from the home base and router is working fine
What is the difference between 50 Hz and 60 Hz on the flicker adjustments?
I am looking for a camera for 24 hr viewing on a tv screen with 2 to 4 cameras showing at all times. I can get electric to the camera but I cannot run cable to home base. Would this unit be good for this?
Does the 24/7 recording stop when you're in live view? Also, I'm thinking about pairing this with my S330 cameras. Is there a way to allocate a certain number of days of 24/7 recording for this particular camera so it doesn't prematurely over-write my clips from the S330 cameras on the hard drive? For instance, do the settings allow you to limit how many days of 24/7 recording per camera or does the Home Base 3 just group all footage from all the cameras together and overwrite the oldest data?
Something that I don't like so far is that when I'm scanning my playback video at 4x 8x 16x it will play at those speeds mentioned for maybe 15 seconds or so and then it jumps 10 minutes ahead and speeds footage super fast. I actually missed like 4 different people walking by the sidewalk within those 10 minutes. I have to constantly be rewinding footage after every ten or 15 seconds to make sure it maintains the speed I've chosen. Any thoughts on this issue, or do you have that issue?

This or the cx410 system? What do you recommend. I have a house prewired for cams and want the best 4 cam system under $1000
I like the Color Coded scale when it shows detection verses continues recording. that Warble Sound the camera microphone picks up, is that caused by being wireless? I hear that warble sound when people use wireless headsets on the phone calls, sounds like they are underwater.

I have a few e210 outdoor eufy cameras, and it picks up cars that come down my street around 150 feet away It also picks up anyone locking their car at night when the side lights flash it gives me a notification. I would say the pictures quality is great also but when zoomed, it's not so great, but then again it's only 1080p I was surprised this camera did not pick you up at 50 feet away Eufy is probably the best brand out just now yes there app sometimes is laggy or buggy but it always gets fixed and they always reply to my emails I send them

You can remove it by unscrewing the screws but you will not be able to use any other standard mounts.
Kinda disappointing that it doesn't have a backup battery, In case of a power outage you completely lost all the footage. The Nest cam has 24/7 recording once you add a power cord. Too bad eufy doesn't want to compromise their battery cams. You either got battery event-only or wired 24/7 but not a middle ground.
I recently got this same Eufy setup. I was very disappointed with the poor audio quality. I heard the same poor audio from your samples as well. I ended up getting some Eufy 2K indoor cameras and added those to the system. The audio of those cameras was significantly better than the 4K E330 cameras. Hopefully, Eufy will improve this in a future firmware update.

I was really excited for this release, but after watching your review it looks like the product leaves a lot to be desired. Question to the overall group.... What options exist (now that Nest 24/7 is dying) outside of the Dufy E330 for a 24/7 application?

I have been looking almost every day for the last few weeks to see your review of this product was available. I love your reviews so thank you for posting. Someday I looking forward to a product review of a home security camera product that is far closer to perfect than this. But unfortunately it is not this product today. The 24/7 recording is really the only thing that is new here to Eufy. And I already have that with my older Nest cameras (which still work great with the older NEST app but also has issues). From watching your video the audio quality is unacceptable for me. And the user interface in that app still feels like a toy to me. Add to that the inability to watch recorded clips from the web browser keeps me a being a buyer of this product. And even though you can watch a single LIVE camera from your browser you can't watch more than one camera at a time. PS: For those interested the new gen 2 camera from NEST are completely unusable because of the GOOGLE HOME app lacking so many things. Cheers!

Hi LH, hope you are well. I'm still enjoying your videos, very helpful. Just a quick question please. I initionally purchased the Eufy C24, but now also have the Eufy E330 with Homebase. With the C24, I am able to set 'Motion Detection' to record Human, Pet and other motions. Then for a rich notification, I can select Human, Pet, Crying, All sound and other motions. However on the E330, you cannot select different categories of notifcations, what ever 'Motion Detection' is set to, then this is what notification you get. I would like to set 'Motion Detection' to Human, Vehicle and other motions, but I only want notifications for Human, but this is not possible from what I can see. Are you able to help, or if this is a bug, then could you nudge Eufy to fix it please. Many thanks Indy
As long as its 24/7 that will be great no matter the choppiness. At least you will still see something. The wireless cameras sometimes dont record anything or stay dead/non recording for a long time, till you go into live feed and it starts to be able to record again which is weird. Not sure why they havent fixed this issue.

Any idea why is it only at 15ffs ? 30 should be best for 24/7 recording, also why they putting those tiny lights in to cameras and not increase number of IR leds instead, my 2c pros had much better nite time videos because of 8 IR leds new 3c have only 6 and its worse nite time video
