The floodlight camera has longer detection range and supports a 10-second pre-buffer to ensure complete events are recorded. From your newborn crying for mom, to your victory dance after a game, your personal moments are yours. Set it to patrol your area on a schedule, or control it manually, so no target will be missed at any angle. I suspect that it is the poor optical quality of the dome that is the reason for the image as you see. And another standout point of eufy flood security light cameras is our secure local storage, eliminating the need for monthly fees and concerns about cloud storage.

Pan and Tilt Camera Coverage: Pan the lens 360° horizontally to get a complete view without the risk of blind spots. But while the camera’s microphone can capture quiet conversations from several metres away, it’s not well-shielded against wind. Eufy even gives you the option to assign different colors to different lighting modes and schedules.Eufy's smart motion detection has fewer features than brands like Google Nest, but it’s effective overall.

Push the wiring into your junction box and attach the camera's base to the mounting plate using the included screws. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. This ensures that behavior in subsequent visits to the same site will be attributed to the same user ID. In our tests, it was easy to identify facial features and clothing details near and far from the camera. On a south-facing, south coast wall, our recordings were often punctuated by the bluster of sea breezes.It already has a mount and junction box, etc… so would swapping it with a Floodlight Cam 2 be a good idea if I wanted a camera in that area? This means that even if someone were to forcibly remove the camera all your data will remain secure. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

How I've been tackling the issue is by reporting the erroneous detections via the Eufy Security app, which we've occasionally done to discourage the camera from misunderstanding what's human.A lot of brands keep their instructions in a mobile app, but a printed manual is easier to reference. Every time you change your device’s name, you will need to discover this device again to update the name.

You certainly need to be careful when connecting the camera cables to its backplate connector – I didn’t engage the supplied hook properly and dropped the heavy camera to the ground. Aside from the impressive floodlights, Eufy's video quality is some of the best among security cameras. It’s a shame the lights’ motion sensor has a hair-trigger, and that the camera doesn’t support ONVIF streams, but if you want a security upgrade for an old outdoor light, this is a great choice. Nightvision: Motion-activated floodlights that are 2,500 lumens exceptionally bright discourage intruders and guarantee clear, full-colour recordings even at night.

Video quality is excellent and the camera easy to configure, but the motion sensor for the floodlight is a little sensitive, so position this camera carefully. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This won’t recognise a specific person, but it does let the camera filter out pets or the movement of shrubs or litter.
