I will not pretend to know everything about camera/security systems. All I can do is compare what I have. Somehow I've ended up with 3 different systems in my house, lol. I have Eufy (my first system), Mother's Day my son bought me a blink set that included a doorbell cam, and then my daughter talked me into a ring doorbell after the blink finked out and would not connect to my wifi. I bought the Eufy almost 3 years ago when moving into our current home, I bought it based off reviews. Compared to blink, it's pricey, but wow is it worth it. After about a month, blink lost connection with my network and we tried forever to get it back. I could not get it, so I bought the Ring Camera doorbell (my daughter suggested it, but really I should have gotten a Eufy). Then somehow, we got the blink connected again, and during that time we hooked up the Ring doorbell. Then the power went out. blink and Ring go offline and I had to reconnect them again. This has happened more than once since installing them. However, Eufy, in the almost three years I've had it ALWAYS reconnects on its own. Not once have I had to reconnect the cameras. Also, the video quality is excellent, out of the three systems, Eufy is hands down the best video, especially for distance, it's so clear with no blur. Night vision is awesome as well. I get the notifications right away and when I go to the dashboard, it comes up quickly. I recently emailed Eufy to see what kind of solar panel I could attach to my driveway cam as it gets lots of action, and while the batteries last a long time, that one drains faster. I received a response right away with what was compatible, and after I got it, it was pretty easy to install. So out of the three systems I have, Eufy is number one hands down. Ring is good too, except going offline when disconnected is really irritating. blink, don't waste your money.

I bought these a couple months ago to replace a set of Arlo cameras after getting annoyed that they started charging a monthly fee for their services. Eufy had what I wanted with a good quality resolution cameras, local storage, and a number of AI features. First, the good - - super easy setup - great quality camera resolution with enough settings (ie. Spotlight, night vision settings, activity zones, etc). The recording attached is from the middle of the night with only the camera spotlight providing the light, and it’s still good quality. - long battery life (after 2 months I still have 70%+ in all cameras, including some that record frequently - the local storage is great. Even with just the included storage, I have more than I need to record multiple months. When accessing old recordings, it’s super fast to pull them up and play them, which was an issue with some other camera sets I tried (like TP- Link Tapo cameras with onboard storage) - the app is easy to use and seems reliable - I have tested geolocation options which worked well, but also scheduled options and the camera accurately changes modes in both settings - No subscription fees! The areas for improvement: - the app doesn’t allow you to mix scheduling and geolocation modes, so if you wanted to put it on a schedule when you are Home, and arm all cameras when you are Away that’s not an option for you - the AI isnt great - while I like being able to name the people in footage, Eufy doesn’t often recognize them in the future. It’s not a big deal as the camera still recognizes its a Person, but just cannot tell me who without some time. Overall, I would still highly recommend these for someone looking for a subscription-free, high quality cameras set. Buy when they are on sale and save yourself $150-200 of the list price.

Upgraded our Eufy system. New cameras are clear, sound is great and have facial recognition. Very easy set up. The new base even recognized our two cameras from the older system without issue.

Was a little worried about purchasing this after some of the negative reviews came out about the end-to-end encryption on the live video streams and The fact that unsinking the camera removes the footage. However that seems to be fixed in this latest version. They work well as front door cameras for me in an apartment building. The 4K quality is reasonably good. I shoot with a lot of cameras so I was actually semi-impressed for the price how good the camera turned out to be. Granted I wish the infrared light was stronger so it would work in darker indoor spaces. I have them about 4 to 5 ft on either side of the door facing down at a 45° angle. If the lights aren't triggered in the hallway the infrared lights don't necessarily pick up anyone until they touch the door. Even if they sold an accessory like an IR light that was tied to the cameras it would help. Overall I like how the footage stays on the internal 4 TB hard drive I installed in the base station. I'm not sure I can really comment about the signal quality because my apartment is open concept so they have worked very well. The camera's battery life seems to work well. We will see how they hold up didn't want to bother getting the solar panel versions because I use them indoors. The facial detection works frighteningly and surprisingly well. I wish it had more functionality built into the app hopefully they will update this in the future, because it's kind of not very powerful in terms of the stuff you can do with it. It will recognize almost any face that's at 45° angle to the camera. It seems to have a little trouble if someone is profile but it's pretty close. I like how you can name, and assign tags for individuals. But sadly that's really all you can do with it. It's is very basic. There aren't many tags and there isn't really any functions tied to them in terms of notifications or triggers. For example I actually bought the cameras to make sure a certain person was not coming over unannounced. I was having an issue with this person and possibly considering a restraining order. I had hoped that using the facial recognition software I could set up an alert and actions specifically based on that person. Sadly the app doesn't really work like that. The alerts and actions are all the same and has no integration with the actual facial recognition other than telling you the name and the pre-selected category. I could see this is a very helpful tool for people who are considering restraining orders. Because you would be able to have documented evidence that someone showed up and you could have a custom notification sent to you immediately. So I'm sad it's not more of a feature. I'm also kind of sad that I couldn't do the reverse for my neighbors. I don't need the cameras being triggered or alerting me every time my neighbors leave the apartment. Especially if their face is recognized by the device. I get why the system functions the way it does. It's the simplest implementation of the facial recognition software which keeps the data processing down, and works ok as a novelty for basic family setups. But it would work way better with custom notifications and actions assignable to each person, And I think it could be easily added to the apps functionality. Overall I think it's one of the better security systems on the market since I don't have to sign up for some cloud service and share my data all over the web. I also imagine it's why they can implement high resolution 4K cameras easily because those cameras don't have to send all of the footage to a server far from your house. If I had to score it, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. If they integrated the facial recognition into the app better it would be beyond five stars and miles above any other security system on the market.

J’ai acheté le kit eufyCam S300 (3C) pour sécuriser mon terrain sans avoir à gérer des abonnements ou des fils partout, et honnêtement, je suis vraiment impressionné. ✔️ Ce que j’aime • Qualité 4K vraiment nette : les détails sont super clairs, même quand je zoome. • Installation sans fil ultra simple : j’ai installé les deux caméras en moins de 10 minutes. • Vision nocturne solide : l’image reste propre dans le noir total. • Reconnaissance faciale AI utile : moins d’alertes inutiles, plus d’infos pertinentes. • Stockage local extensible : pas de cloud forcé, et je peux monter ça jusqu’à 16 To. • Très bonne autonomie : les batteries tiennent longtemps, même en hiver québécois. ❗Petit point à noter • L’appli pourrait charger les vidéos un peu plus vite, mais ça reste vraiment fonctionnel. 🔥 Verdict Un système de caméras complet, fiable et facile à utiliser. Pour quelqu’un qui veut une vraie sécurité avec des images 4K sans abonnement mensuel, c’est dur à battre. Je recommande fortement.

la calidad es buena, las cámaras son muy buenas la funciones de ia son lo mejor reconoce las personas y las notificaciones llegan con la persona agregada eso está genial, reconocimiento de mascotas está bien, lo malo es que el base no tiene la capacidad de conectar de manera correcta es decir si hay mucha distancia entre el base y la cámara la conexión es muy inestable

Great system, easy to install. Installed it late November with a couple small solar panels for the cameras. Batteries still showing full and maintained that thru the winter. I installed a SSD drive in the homebase but probably not needed as the built in 16gb should be good for 5-6 months based on the last 3 months use (for me anyway). Great picture quality, even when zooming in. App works well. Very pleased with everything so far, no issues at all

Works well, with good image quality. Easy to set up. Just wish the recognition software worked a little better. I can hear my phone giving me constant notifications as I move around the yard in front of the camera. If you look right at it, it recognizes your face, and I have notifications turned off for me...but side shots, or the back of me, sets the notifications off over and over. A proximity to the app on my cell phone would be a nice option to eliminate unneeded notifications.
