eufy Security 2K Indoor Cam Pan & Tilt, Home Security Indoor Camera, Human and Pet AI, Works with Voice Assistants, Motion Tracking, Night Vision, MicroSD Card Required, HomeBase Not Required.

The Eufy camera is excellent – clear image quality, easy to set up, and works perfectly. I’m very happy with it!

Excellent video quality , does not tilt down much if installed on a high surface

I love the ease of installation, clarity of the camera, its movement to human motion and ability to zoom.What I don't like is that you cant see all the camera's in your house on one screen, you have to see one camera at a time - I would have loved to see them all in one screen.In addition I have not yet figured out how to see the continuous streaming of a day's footage. I can see in the app under events when it detects motion but if I wanted to see the entire day's footage - motion or not, I don't know how to do that yet and hope there is a way

had recently purchased the Eufy Cam 2 for my home’s security but soon realized I needed an indoor camera especially one that can be moved to keep an eye on the cots of my twin girls while they are sleeping. Having been thoroughly satisfied with the performance of the Eufy Cam 2, I looked no further than them for an option and lo and behold they had just released the Eufy Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt. Eufy again to my rescue.Anker Innovations’ smart home sub brand, Eufy, has made strides building up its portfolio. The Eufy Cam 2 and Eufy Security Video Doorbell have proven to be top contenders in their respective areas, but now comes the task of taking security inside of the home with an indoor camera. The Eufy Security Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt is an intriguing option for watching over your home and protecting your privacy.Here’s my review :-Design :- Typically Indoor Cameras have a fixed viewing angle and are best situated in corners to maximize their coverage but Eufy’s Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt can rotate 360 degrees horizontally and pivot 96 degrees vertically. With this feature, however, it can be placed anywhere and still cover all corners – and that’s despite the camera’s moderate 125-degree field of view. The Eufy Security Indoor Cam Pan and Tilt offers a few notable features that preserve your privacy in the home.First and foremost, there’s a microSD slot for local storage, in addition to the cloud storage that’s available. It’s peace of mind for those who want to ensure that the footage recorded by the camera remains private.Secondly, the camera can be turned off through the app, resulting in the camera tucking itself away — thus exposing its microSD slot. It can effectively work as a privacy shutter, which is nice, because the camera lens is completely obstructed. However, I wish there was a button on the camera itself that could cover the camera and mute the mic. There’s also an LED light on the base of the camera that blinks red to indicate the live stream is being accessed. The Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt comes with motion and sound detection, the ability to distinguish between humans and pets, and it can recognize the sound of a baby crying. It also supports Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit—including HomeKit Secure Video, which allows for the analysis of recorded video clips on a local HomePod, iPad, or Apple TV, as well as encrypted video storage in iCloud. The camera supports up to 128GB of local storage via a microSD card (no card is included).Ease of Use :- You control the pan-and-tilt camera with the Eufy Security app. It guides you through the process of pairing the camera to your phone and connecting it to your Wi-Fi network. You just need scan the QR code on the device and enter your network login credentials.The camera appears on the app’s device screen with the name you gave it during the setup and a screenshot of its current view. Pressing the play button here opens the live feed. The layout is clean with live stream at the top, camera controls at the bottom—with the exception of big directional dial smack in the middle. Pressing any of the four cardinal points rotates the camera in that direction. It responds quickly and moves smoothly. You can calibrate the pan-and-tilt and adjust the rotation speed on a 1-5 scale in the settings.In addition to controlling the pan-and-tilt yourself, you can set the camera to lock on to any moving object it detects by enabling motion tracking. This worked well in my testing, with the camera shadowing a family member or if you have a pet and following them anywhere they went. In a real-world scenario, this would allow you track the movements of an intruder, eliminating the blind spots created by a fixed-angle camera.Performance :- Having experienced Eufy’s AI detection previously, I knew how accurate it could be, and it didn’t disappoint this time. People were identified as humans. Every notification includes a large screenshot of the triggering person/pet that you can tap to open the captured video clip. If you don’t want to drown in a tide of these alerts, there are several ways to manage them. You can adjust the sensitivity of both motion and sound detection to receive fewer of all alerts, or you can select only the types of sound and movement you want to monitor. You can also opt to receive alerts for only those events you want to know about, change the interval time between two event notifications, and choose the content you want included in notifications and how those are delivered (text only; text first, then thumbnail; or text and thumbnail together).Value for Money :- The Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt, offers a raft of security features for an unbeatable price. It’s best suited to large spaces where its pan-and-tilt and motion tracking will help you cover a lot ground, and its tack-sharp resolution and intelligent alerts should satisfy first-time camera owners and seasoned home security pros alike.

We bought the product on purpose as it stated one could stop notifications for familiar faces and pets. I just got the camera and installed it. I tried to find this setting. While googling it turns out only if you buy the Homebase this can be done. However in the sales description it clearly states this Funktion with the 2k tilt eufy camera. This is really not good and annoying as I would have bought another camera if known.Advertising needs to be correct.As for the camera. Setup seems simple enough, but if you want to avoid getting 250x notifications showing your kids while you are after intruders, it’s getting annoying.

Takes all of 5 minutes to start up and install the app and its ready to go.Its kind of “friendly looking” and very responsive to movement. We use it in a small apartment and it covers almost 80% of the space if placed smartly.

Pros: Great product although limited via Apple HomeKit (due to Apple restrictions) which is why I purchased this model. I really like the human AI detection feature as it ignores animals/cars/ and other non human movement. The key selling point for me was the local recording/storage using an on board MicroSD. The image is great and the PTZ works fine. Nice app and easy to use.Cons: I have noticed one downside so far, the camera appears to need an internet connection to function fully. It is unusual that the device does not push out notifications etc on the local wiFi. There must be some sort of outbound communication to Eufy servers which I hope they will overcome/disable in future updates as I would prefer a 100% local wiFi setup for security and for the device to handle any data processing. I will need to test this further in my home network but I have read other people discovered this potential issue.

Worth the money
