Product Information

Relevant Recordings: The on-device AI determines whether a human or pet is present and only records when an event of interest occurs. Eufy cams are not our first choice in most cases, but they're often our second choice. They offer reliability, excellent video quality, multiple power options, affordable options, and smart home compatibility. In terms of features, they don't burn as brightly as Wyze, Ring, and Arlo, but sometimes it's perfectly fine to nail the basics. Overall, we think that the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K is the best video doorbell for local storage. While it produces better video than Arlo and Ring, it's not as affordable. Powerful On-Device AI: Data is processed on-board the camera, resulting in faster decision making and fewer errors. The end result is more accurate detection and fewer false alert*.

Motion and sound alerts arrived instantly, as did recorded video using the microSD card slot. Intelligent motion detection worked well for filtering out motion events from all but people and pets. The crying baby sound filter also worked as intended. Weatherproofing: Eufy's battery-powered cameras all come with IP65 or the more robust IP67 weatherproofing that helps them withstand rain, snow, heat, and cold temperatures. Among wired cameras, the Floodlight Cam and Solo OutdoorCam boast similar resistances to adverse weather.Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions.

The Key is in the Detail: View every event in up to 2K clarity (1080P while using HomeKit) so you see exactly what is happening inside your home. Editors' Note: This was previously known as the Eufy Solo IndoorCam C24. Eufy now sells it as the Indoor Cam C120. SafeWise has conducted impartial research to recommend products.

Another reason we like the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K is its inclusion of local storage via the HomeBase 2. If you thought that 2K was rare on video doorbells, local storage is almost unheard of. A large part of competitor's 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. 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. You need to mount this light on a junction box and hardwire it. While the electrical work is relatively easy, it might be too much trouble for some folks.

At 125 degrees, the Eufy Solo IndoorCam C24 has one of the narrowest fields of view on the market. When compared to the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera, which is five degrees wider, we did lose a small section of the room in capture. However, for most homes it should still be sufficiently wide.The Eufy Video Doorbell 2K has one of the highest resolutions we've seen in a doorbell camera. Although other brands like Arlo and Reolink embrace 2K video on more cameras each year, Eufy is one of the first to add it on a doorbell. The extra detail is great for porch pirate wanted posters on social media. video resolution: Practically every Eufy camera comes in 1920p (also called 2K) and 1080p versions. Surprisingly, the 2K video resolution isn't much more expensive than 1080p. This narrow pricing gap—especially on Solo and SoloCam models—means that it's worth choosing 2K over 1080p every time. Though upgrading to 2K on EufyCam models isn't as good of a deal since you often pay for multi-camera kits—an extra camera tends to negate some savings. The Eufy SoloCam E40 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 2K cameras. Store your data and recordings locally or in the cloud. The choice is yours. 24/7 recording also available.
