After testing two EufyCam 2 cameras for more than 500 hours, we can say it has a few quirks with its night vision. But, on the whole, the EufyCam 2 is a solid camera for the price. EufyCam 2 features: The wire-free design makes EufyCam 2 setup a cinch. The camera syncs to a separate hub (which you do want to plug into your internet router), but from there, it only takes a few minutes to put the camera where you want it. First of all is that local storage option. If your footage isn’t in the cloud, then it’s harder for a hacker to access it. The EufyCam 2 has human detection, so it can tell the difference between your neighbor and that squirrel. And you can adjust the settings so it will only alert you when it detects people. The EufyCam 2 also often mislabels people as just “motion detected” during the nighttime, rather than telling you “human detected.” Which isn’t great if your teenager sneaks out in the middle of the night and your camera refuses to snitch on them. For what you get with the EufyCam 2, especially the easy setup, local storage, and long battery life, we think the price is fair. The Arlo Ultra 2 has some more advanced tech features and analytics that explain the higher price tag, but it’s safe to say the EufyCam 2 is a decent budget version. If you do prefer cloud storage, Eufy’s storage plans start at $2.99 per month. We don’t know why Eufy made separate apps for each, but it did. So if you want to make all your Eufy stuff work together, make sure it’s in the same product family first. EufyCam 2 installation steps: Features: The EufyCam 2 has decent features for the price, including HD resolution and human detection. Just know the human detection doesn’t work as well at night. Pricing: The EufyCam 2 costs a little more than $100 upfront, but it’s cheaper than similar models by other brands. You also don’t have to pay an extra monthly subscription fee for storage or features. Home automation: The EufyCam 2 works with Alexa and Google plus Apple HomeKit. Installation: The EufyCam 2 is really easy to set up. You just get the Eufy HomeBase hooked up to your internet router, sync the cameras, and you’re good to go. Because the cameras don’t have any wires, they’re easy to place where you need them. Not sure if the EufyCam 2 has the features you need?
