Customer Ratings & Reviews

Clear sharp picture. Easy setup. Be aware of sunlight exposure. Most of mine are under the eaves. They do not get a lot of direct sunlight. The battery maintains + - 14%. The one in full sunlight for 6 hours stays at 100% I also bought the full system. The home hub is easy to setup, and you can add your own 2.5 inch drive to increase storage space. In the attached picture, the corner of the fence is about 35 feet away.

So far so good. Everything works as should. Easy set up and use.

Anker’s new EUFY security camera system solves just about everything problematic about installing a security camera system. Cameras with 4K resolution have been available in wired and wireless varieties for a while, but with resolution comes the need for great power. Wired cameras can deliver power with chunkier wiring but wireless cameras, especially the smaller ones, require frequent charging. Charging wireless cameras is an inconvenience at best for internal cameras and is an unreasonable requirement for outdoor cameras. I have an older Arlo system that requires attention almost monthly. EUFY has attacked the wireless problem using a larger battery in each camera. The USB-C charged batteries are said to be capable of lasting a full year on a single charge. But EUFY has added solar charging panels on the top sides of each camera – and, in theory, with about 2 hours of real sunlight exposure, these cameras are supposed to be able to maintain a full charge indefinitely. Of course, indoor mountings would require updated annual (?) charging. My two cameras have been mounted in full and in restricted sun for over a week now and my cameras have never deviated from full charge (yes, that’s a short time frame...but it’s encouraging). Everything about the setup here is very intuitive. A smartphone app guides you through recognition of the base unit, updating the firmware, and recognition of the cameras. The cameras mount using an easily configurable mount that requires two attaching screws. My full hardware mounting and software installation took less than one hour. The base unit will only retain 16GB of stored images and video. But the unit includes a mounting rack that allows you to install a 2.5” SATA hard drive for basically unlimited storage. The 16GB of storage is surely sufficient for a setup with very little expected activity – but I was able to add 1TB of storage for just over $40. See photos. The 4K camera and powerful rechargeable battery make for a chunky and somewhat heavy camera – but the quality imaging and extended/unlimited (solar charged) battery life are worth any objections you might have to the way these cameras present themselves. See photo. The cameras capture stunning detail in their images. Daylight images are bright and clear – nighttime images, reduced to B&W for greater image clarity, are surprisingly crisp. When motion detection is in place, the cameras produce IR light to further amplify the image capture. See photo of nighttime capture w/o IR illumination. The AI associated with the operation of these devices seems to be very smart (e.g., detection of humans vs. leaves falling or cars passing in the periphery of the capture). The alarm siren, when enabled, can vary in strength from annoying to ear-piercing – it can be a real deterrent. The cameras offer two-way audio so that you can communicate with them via the EUFY app. But probably the most significant reason to recommend this system is that it gives you complete control over the capture and saving of images and video without needing a subscription. You can monitor your cameras remotely and review any captures that might have taken place. Additional protection, including offsite storage, is available if you require that subscription option. And I need to give them a real shout-out for their app. Every detail about this monitoring system is HIGHLY configurable – but the defaults in the app are sensible and changes are incredibly intuitive. After I turned off the alarm system, I was very pleased with the system's defaults. I will probably wander deeper into the configurations as I get to know the system better. My system includes two cameras, but the base unit will accommodate up to 16 cameras. Enthusiastically recommended!!!

I’ve been using the eufy Security eufyCam 3 (the 3-camera kit with HomeBase 3), and it’s been great so far. Here’s my take on it: What I like: • The 4K video quality is amazing. Everything is super clear, and you can easily spot small details like faces or license plates. • It’s solar-powered, so I don’t have to worry about recharging it all the time. As long as there’s some sunlight, the cameras stay charged. • The setup is super easy since it’s completely wireless. I had all three cameras up and running in no time. • The HomeBase 3 is a cool addition. It keeps everything stored locally, so I don’t need to pay for cloud storage, and it also has smart AI features that can tell the difference between people, animals, and random motion. • The cameras are weatherproof, so they’ve handled rain and heat without any problems. What could be better: • It’s not cheap. The upfront cost is a bit high, but at least there are no monthly subscription fees. • If you live in a place with little sunlight, the solar charging might not work as well. You might still have to charge them manually sometimes. • The AI is good, but I did get a few false alerts in the beginning. Adjusting the detection zones helped. Overall: I’m really happy with this setup. It’s reliable, has great features, and the video quality is top-notch. Definitely worth it if you want solid home security without paying for monthly cloud storage.

I did a lot of research before buying this product and it has lived up to its potential. It is anvery easy setup for a high quality product. I have had it for over 5 months now and have only charged the cameras two times and that only took a few hours. The solar worked better the second time I put them up because I angled them better to receive more sun light. I feel secure with the footage I collect necause nothing is uploaded to a cloud service. All the footage is stired in the homebase. I highly recommend if you want a wireless camera with good quality video.

Summary: I am greatly impressed by the ease of setup and the quality of this device. Everything about it is well thought out and it is even expandible! Pros: - Quality build - Quality video - Solar panels - Expandable - Great app - Easy to set up - Works with Alexa and Google Cons: - Limited mounting options - Limited 3rd party support - No Samsung SmartThings support - Apple Homekit not yet supported Unboxing / setup: Inside you will find the base unit, an ethernet cable, two cameras, mounting hardware, hard drive screws and setup info. Setup is extremely easy! First, download the Eufy app (if you have an Anker account, no need to make a new account, just use that). The app will have you pair the base unit and each camera to the account and it works like magic with a quick scan of each device. After a quick firmware update I was up and running. First impressions: The hardware is extremely high quality. The cameras are chargeable via USB C but there are also little solar panels on the top to extend battery life. The base unit has a pop off top which allows for you to expand the hard drive. Internally there is 16GB in the device, I had a spare 2.5” Sata 128GB hard drive lying around from an old computer so I tossed it in there and after a quick format it worked like a charm. It is expandable up to 16TB so I might toss a bigger HD in there down the road. There is limited mounting hardware included but there are additional options on the website. App: The app is one of the best ones I have used, and I have used competitor devices. One of the first things that popped out to me was facial recognition of common faces, you can use photos from your phone or Google Photos to recognize. There are loads of options for automation including location based use geofencing, schedules, to name a few. In the few days I have had it, the local storage (16GB) has filled about halfway, older videos will delete when it is full. A 128gb or higher hard drive will take forever to fill up, especially if you have Terabytes to fill! There is also a premium subscription you can get if you want emergency options. There are also options for cloud storage if you do not want to go all in on local recording. I was a bit disappointed Samsung SmartThings is not supported and Apple Homekit support is not supported yet either. Google assistance and Alexa are built available. Camera quality: These are 4k cameras so the quality is outstanding day or night. The lag between the phone and the real time camera feed is minimal. Chatting is available between the app and the camera with a speaker in the camera so you can query anyone standing outside your house when you get an alert.

The video quality is superb. They are also very easy to install. Great local storage. You can access past videos without paying a monthly subscription fee. Excellent battery life.

After spending years of paying through the nose, month after month to anothered monitored security company (upwards of $75 a month), I decided enough was enough. While I know that there are multiple security brands out there what I liked about the Eufy System was that the cameras are completely wireless with no fiddly batteries to change. Instead they use the sun to charge via built in solar cells. The set up is easy.. great instructions. Cameras were very easy to install with the included hardware. All in all great value for money.

A great camera system. Love that there are no monthly fees. Plus, it’s solar so no need to take down and recharge. Super easy to set up and the phone app works great. We’ve used another brand camera system in the past and like this one much better.

The cameras are working great. Easy to set up, staying charged and working like stated. However we are still in the learn mode. We also bought the silicon black covers to make them not so obvious and they fit and look great. So far we are very happy with the entire system and plan on adding more cameras eventually.

This seems to be a reasonable system. For the best view the cameras should be located down low. For me that's not a good option. They are very easy to install and operate. No membership fees, wireless, and solar power is awesome.

They are amazing, the picture quality and recording is smooth. I love that they are 2way communication it has helped with packages. Very easy to setup.

Easy to follow instructions to set up and install. Need to make to fully charge before you install. Two months of use and batteries are still fully charged with solar panel, but i had to make a homemade extension so that the solar panel is always exposed to sunlight, away from your roof’s eave. Overall, system is working as expected, nothing extraordinary, but very practical so far.

I’ve been using these cameras for about two weeks now and so far they’ve been working great. The set up was easy and I really like that they solar charge so I don’t have to remove them to charge.

I really like these cameras. They are easy to set up, and I have them at my home and at my office. I do wish they would continuously record, but I'm happy that they have solar panel recharge.

The system was easy to set up and operate! Works seamlessly with a Starlink system for remote locations as well. The quality is very clear and we have had no issue with the solar charging.

I installed four cameras total and a door bell camera from Eufy. Installation was very easy and quick. I am very happy with the quality of the video and software. I would recommend to friends and family.

I’m looking to install my first home security camera system. I need easy installation, effective activity detection/notification and long battery life. After trawling YouTube reviews a Eufy Cam 3 4K system seems to be the go. However when I look outside YouTube at reviews on retailers websites - there are a fair number of negative reviews - in particular people saying the new 4K system is slow to detect and start recording. In effect, the camera misses all or most of the activity. These reviews even come from people who had previously good experiences with older Eufy systems. Negative feedback outside YouTube is common for the HB3/S330 and Floodlight models.

Very nice buy and easy to install so far we’re enjoying it. My son just added or buy more storage
