Sounds like Eufy has the best line of products overall
I loved my eufy with a solar but then after like three months it completely stopped working I had to return it
Ring is trash .. I can’t wait to replace them all
FYI the S350’s night vision is very sensitive. I had two and had to return both of them as the night vision completely washed out- all black. In one room my light blue bed sheets were causing a glare and in the other room it was the beige walls. Otherwise they were great cameras
Hello I’m curious, I am trying to set up a handful of cameras inside my one bedroom apartment, running an experiment, I do not want Wireless, I want everything fully analog tethered to motion sensors, I want the feed to go to one hard drive that I can just access the footage by plugging in that hard drive to my laptop and watch it through VLC player, I want no other bells and whistles outside of the obvious audio, Does anyone have any recommendations for a possible bulk purchase to achieve this? I’m imagining it would be a total of about five cameras only, but again I want them completely in sync at all times with zero Wi-Fi or Bluetooth nonsense, no interface outside of saving the footage to a hard drive then I will then use my laptop as a screen too pick and choose what I view, doable?
A couple of years ago I was gifted two Wired Ring Floodlight Pro Security Systems. I just got around to installing one system this week. Nothing but problems for me. Inconsistent motion tracking. Either too slow or non existent half the time. I’ve been going back and forth with the motion mode and birds eye mode, according to the apps manual, but doesnt seem to work as it should. And I just came to realize that Im gonna need a paid subscription to use these two. I noticed your property seems to be pretty bare, with nothing in the way. I wonder how much if any, difference that make when testing your cameras.
You say the first cam has “everything” but why would I even want two lenses?
Would it not be more efficient to pack a larger, nicer sensor with a zoom option then an always zoomed telephoto lens?
thank you!
Don’t buy Eufy cameras! Horrible customer service; short term investment. You will regret it!
Great video! Just wondering if there is any good options for a wire-free indoor camera? There are just blind spots that my dog goes to and there isn’t a good option to plug in a wired version.
Theyre all garbage. Digital IP poe cam system with an nv4 is the way to go..
The Eufy doorbell you mentioned can be hardwired 🙂
Which camera you recommend me to get if i want a whole setup around the house.
my eufy 360 camera just stopped connecting to wifi all of a sudden, and they wont replace it, so i will never buy another one from them again.
Agree! Techage cameras also support 7/24 hour recording and free subscription fee
Out of all of the smart home security camera brands, which one do you believe is the best? also with no subscription fee if possible.
Do you install camera systems wireless?
If it conects to wifi its junk easy to hack.hard wired harddrive no internet connection is the best
Any update to this list 7 months later?
My damn samsung cameras are no longer supported by app therefore cameras are useless smfh need new ones so im here
I just bought the Zumimall 5G wired Wi-Fi camera. I have it connected and it works good. I bought this to use as a webcam on our camper that has a different Wi-Fi network than our home network. Can i use this camera as a webcam on a different network?
Recommendation for cameras for our office, need at least 3 set up with play back recording to review if any suspicious activity
Thank you so much for the deep dive in this matter i have a real educated decission on my new camera i will be purchaseing
😊🎉❤
Thank you for your reviews. Very useful. Are you able to comment on their ability to pick up a car license plate clearly? I need a camera that will watch my car in a shared car park due to previous hit and run. Thanks 😊
Maybe you can help me. I have a Wyze cam and Eufy cam and a google doorbell cam. The only one that works on the Google Home app is the Google doorbell cam but I’ve seen videos that everything can be added. And I’m unable to get work on either iOS or android. so frustrating ,thanks
If only those brands where not Chinese companies 🙁 EUFY with there terrible track record and being Chinese instant avoid same as reolink.
Thanks appreciated
b.ullshit review .
When I bought my house it came with a FEIT floodlight camera. It was great, but after turning the floodlight manually one night, it stopped responding in the app and no resetting will fix it. That being said I’ve seen they are decent when contacted for support, and I probably would go that route if I had bought it, but thought I would mention it for others
OH awesome — did you just say that Eufy does *not* require Homebase, and that instead you could use Micro SD card??? That is good I will buy EUFY then
Steer a billion miles away from blink. If you want to know why look in my reply to the @cryptoking7299 comment about his 5 blink camera system.
I have a long comment there explaining why I would steer well away from blink.
eufy 1080p max on cloud is the reason why i didnt go with them
Can anyone tell me how much do over the door and window camera cost? I never had one so how does it work ? Do u pay monthly ?
Which one is best for simple needs like watching the pets/kids indoors and a good doorbell camera? Thanks!!
I cannot find 5ghz and wpa3 security camera on the market. Anyone knows?
Whats ur view on smart solar v380pro dual camera 😮
What about the prices
It’s toooooo Fast and he doesn’t pick up the or has a picture representation on what he is talking about. i know less now than pushing the play button on the video. You’ll need to tell pros and cons on each product and not jump back and forth with info.
This guy is annoying
Good morning brother I have a question, I have an entry Gate that people like to park at or throw trash out in front of and I am looking for a camera to record 24 hours not motion, I have power and Wi-Fi at my gate, what would be the best options for me?
Why does the 2k reolink look better then the 4k ones?
No Unifi? You’re the best tech reviewer. Hope to see more content from you
I would love to get a Black silicone skin for my eufy S340 . Help please does anyone know where I can get these
Most of these cameras are the same with similar features to match up with the price point. There’s probably one manufacture making these cameras the only differences are the badging in the brand..
Im surprised lorex didnt make the list
great reviews and comparison. super helpful. do any of the cameras / apps have a simple geofencing function? i like the one with arlo, but not getting into subscriptions.
Although Eufy seems nice, they were found to be sending local video storage to their cloud servers, something that customers were led to believe was not happening. They also did not have any end-to-end encryption for their video feeds. Some time has passed since those issues were brought up, and, likely, those problems do not exist anymore, but I would be cautious with any company that appears so nonchalant about a pretty serious flaw in their product. Excuse the cliche, but here is a word of caution for potential buyers trying to save a dollar: if you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product.
So which cameras have no subscription that’s what I’m looking for
I would like to have a good camera with an sd card, like a wildlife camera, no wifi no wires. Does that exist?
