According to Eufy, the Eufycam 2 lasts 365 days on a single charge. After doing some research on that number, the company says in its forums that it achieved that by only having 10 events in a day and recording 30-second clips for each event with the benefit of fairly nice weather most of the year. But depending on where your cameras are located and where you live geographically, your number could vary.

Extrapolating our test data, we’re looking at over a year’s worth of battery life from a single charge, supporting Eufy’s claim. That said, it’s obviously a your-mileage-may-vary situation so don’t take our numbers – or Eufy’s – as the absolute, definitive battery life, but this should be able to help you set some expectations.Purpose and Placement: Determine the specific purpose and identify the interior or exterior areas that require surveillance to choose the appropriate camera type and features. The EufyCam 2 Pro has secure local storage, so this does come with a base station that holds all of your local storage. The home base itself is a Wi-Fi extender for these cameras, so you don't have to have that base plugged into an Ethernet port. You can move it around the house because it is wireless. And that's an awesome feature. On the rear of the camera, you’ll find a micro-USB port for charging, plus the screw-mount attachment, while a sync button that’s used for setup – or to perform a factory reset – sits on the top of the camera. While achieving that likely necessitates a fairly minimal usage profile, it’s still impressive. And if you mount the cameras with the included magnetic base, they’re easy to remove when it’s time to top the battery up. The slim, elongated design also makes aiming simple, though it also makes them fairly impossible to position without using the included mounting hardware. If you want a system that can also work as a bookshelf camera, you’ll need to look elsewhere. Christopher Null / IDG The built-in AI proved extremely accurate when it came to identifying people in the camera’s field of view, even providing a small thumbnail of the person in the Events list. We found the two-way talk function clear, too.

In terms of features, the Eufycam 2 has a built-in two-way microphone system that lets you yell at any potential intruders, as well as a night mode to capture any details in the dark. Geen verborgen kosten: De eufyCam S221 (eufyCam 2 Pro) is ontworpen om zowel uw huis als uw portemonnee te beschermen en is een eenmalige aanschaf die veiligheid met gemak combineert. Ready for Any Weather: With an IP67 weatherproof-rating, eufyCam S221 (eufyCam 2 Pro) is built to withstand the elements. Unwichtige Bewegungen wie vorbeilaufende Hunde oder herabfallende Herbstblätter werden ganz smart ignoriert. The cameras also feature a built-in microphone and speaker, which enables you to also converse with anyone in the camera’s field of view.If you’re like us, you might hate the idea of giving up a precious port on your router for the eufy hub, but it really is the brains of the operation. It securely stores all the footage – which means, if your camera is ever stolen, all of the video is still safely stored inside. Even better, Eufy uses a proprietary communication technology that’s more power-efficient than standard Wi-Fi, allowing the wireless camera to work for months without recharging. Eufy boosts video quality in this upgraded camera system, but leaves the rest of the kit unchanged. Once they're paired, it’s time to go outside and mount the cameras. We mounted ours onto the roof of our house - which took a bit of finagling - but theoretically it could mount to most surfaces if you’re handy enough with a power drill. What is the eufyCam S220 (eufyCam 2C Pro) system compatible with? The eufyCam S220 (eufyCam 2C Pro) uses HomeBase 2 as its hub. It is compatible with eufyCam, eufyCam E, and eufy entry sensors. The resolution is a bit of a double-edged sword here. Because it’s only 1080p, the HomeBase can store more footage of the Eufycam 2 than it can of the Eufy Video Doorbell that has a 2K resolution. The downside, of course, is that there’s slightly less detail in the 1080p footage. It’s not enough to blur essential details, but it does make it slightly harder to identify faces at longer distances.
