So I realised there's a current sale for this camera at JB Hi Fi, Good Guys and Bing Lee but I wanted to see if I could find something cheaper to match price with Officeworks. Just by chance theres a sale on at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com.au/Eufy-Security-Compatibility-Resolu…) and is for the same model and cheaper at $989.10!

With the match price from officeworks I got it down to $939.65, fortunately for me my local office works had the last once so I just went in store and got the camera and did the match price but I believe you should be able to call Office works themselves and get it done over the phone. The amazon deal is free shipping so naturally you would expect to get the same with office works but its free delivery over $55 so you should be able to call office works to get this deal if you dont have a local office works to C&C.

Specs can be found here https://myanker.com.au/eufycam-2-pro-2k-4-camera-set.html
Basically has 365 days battery life (supposedly), local storage to the home base, 2K resolution

    I'd wait for the next 4-set 4k Arlo Cams for $5xx just the other day.

    • K-Daddy on 01/06/2022 - 14:23

      does arlo require subscriptions for storage? Or there is a local storage option?

      Ah sorry my bad just thought would be nice to show you can get this camera cheaper via office work match price

      • CamM on 01/06/2022 - 12:44

        Nothing wrong with pointing that out, but deal attribution should go to Amazon AU. Example of proper formatting would be something like this

    If you serious about security cameras, you do it properly by using POE. Do it once and forget.

    Don't know why people use batteries LOL. So they say it last 1 year. Do you really think it will last that long before needed charge??

    It will get troublesome after a while when you keep recharging them and not to mention batteries degrade over time then what? You better hope they have spares LOL and do it all over again.

      Solar panels LOL

    • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2022 - 20:56

      You are actually right. I dont know why these Eufy's get so good reviews.
      I have 4 Eufy's and this is one of the issues I have found. Its says battery last for 365 days but it totally depends on how frequently it detects and alerts. The more, the lesser battery life.
      Secondly, even though I have registered family faces in the app, but when anyone from the family passes in front of the cam, it still alerts on them. Afterawhile it gets so noisy that I just turn the notifications off

    • kurdoxan on 01/06/2022 - 21:13

      I am also looking one with POE, do you a good option under $1k?

  • Ham Dragon on 01/06/2022 - 14:33

    Is there a material difference with this one for $799?

    • prankster on 01/06/2022 - 15:04

      that model is T8863CD1. The main difference I saw was that one is 180 day battery and has a spotlight where as E8853CD1 is 365 day battery and no spotlight

      • Ham Dragon on 01/06/2022 - 15:07

        Yes I noticed that. Looks like 18650 batteries inside, are they replaceable?

        • prankster on 01/06/2022 - 15:29

          sorry dont know, haven't researched that far into the unit yet

  • samedream on 01/06/2022 - 14:38

    my friend had POE cameras at home. paid for installation. 3 months later, one camera was at fault. climb into roof to disconnect camera. once replacement received, you need to climb again. 9 months later, none of the camera was working, onsite tech found out the power of POE switch was not working properly.

    also power outage, POE cameras wouldn't work unless you have large UPS as backup.

    If you use solar panel on 2 Pro. you don't have to worry about charging the camera. mine still have 65% batter after 13 months on HD version. I don't see any issue.

    • vijayr on 01/06/2022 - 14:55

      @samedream isn't it the same case when there is a power outage for Eufy Homebase?

      Also, may I know which brand of POE camera did your friend use as I'm currently in the market to get security cameras

      • prankster on 01/06/2022 - 15:31

        so this unit has a backup battery onto the home base so it provides 8 hours of power if there was a power outage to your house

        • Hinee on 01/06/2022 - 15:48
          +1

          But your router will also go down killing the link between cams & homebase tho right?

          • prankster on 01/06/2022 - 16:03

            @Hinee: haha tbh i haven't researched on how the cam and homebase works with the wifi but yes if the router goes down, does it kill the link between the cam and homebase?

            I assume they would have thought of that if they give this extra 8 hours of power to the home base if there was a power outage to your house?

          • cerealJay on 01/06/2022 - 16:19
            +1

            @Hinee: Yes but the sensible thing to do is use a UPS for your router and anything you want to remain powered on.

            Even if you don't use security cameras, a UPS is a good idea. I have my router, NAS, Hue Bridge, and other low-powered devices plugged into the UPS. The UPS doubles as a good surge protector too.

            • samedream on 02/06/2022 - 10:55

              @cerealJay: $3.5k UPS on POE camera doesn't last long. my work place has that.

              The UPS doubles as a good surge protector too.——————that is true.

              it is good idea to have small UPS on router, NAS and 4G router (Telstra NBN router with 4G backup) during power outage.

            • vijayr on 07/06/2022 - 11:44

              @cerealJay: how about your NBN box?

              • cerealJay on 07/06/2022 - 15:35

                @vijayr:

                how about your NBN box?

                Yes of course, UPS too.

          • samedream on 02/06/2022 - 10:49

            @Hinee: @Hinne

            Home base and wireless camera has hit own WIFI channels. connecting home base to your router or modem is for viewing footage and sending notifications.

            when power outage, home base has power to support it's own wifi and does recording. Homebase from HD version can last more than 24 hours ( accidently turn off the Homebase power for more than 24 hours. everything recorded. )

            you can't view the footage during power outage. but all footage was recorded.

      • samedream on 02/06/2022 - 10:41

        my friend use swann, he told me not to use it. try something else. LOL

    • mt2000 on 01/06/2022 - 15:52

      Not sure what cameras your friend is using. Not all POE cameras are the same. You don't buy crappy cheapies and expect to work properly and with so many variables like not installed properly or the POE switch is faulty.

      • LOL so if this cameras was faulty you don't need to climb on the roof to fix?

      • Yes the cameras will not work if a power outrage. The Eufy back to base is power by AC, so unless like you said if you don't have UPS you are stuff either way.

      -Regarding the solar panel for charging, yes it will save you times between taking it down and charge the cameras less often. BUT once again batteries will degrade over time. Look at your phone for example after a couple of years you need to charge more often.

      End of the day any thing batteries will be troublesome. I am not trying to offend any one just saying the obvious. For around $1k you can buy some decent POE cameras and much more storage spaces than a messily 16 gigs.

      EDIT: OP said the home base has 8 hours backup so you good there. Still how often you have blackout? Need to consider this.

      • cerealJay on 01/06/2022 - 16:44

        Benefit of batteries:

        • Install the camera anywhere outside, without messy cables.
        • Many houses have the power box easily accessible - anyone can switch your power off. Power outages from storms is not the point of battery backup. It's thieves who understand how to switch your main power from ON to OFF.

        As someone else said, you can attach solar panels to the cameras to extend battery life. You can place the camera up a tree if you want, or literally anywhere and not worry about it for a long time.

        messily 16 gigs.

        Okay, but the video is compressed. 16 gigs is a lot of compressed video. Similar to your dash cam, the idea is that you keep recent video from any incidents. The need to store archive home security video is secondary to the main purpose of storing recent video incidents from the last few weeks.

        • BryceW on 03/06/2022 - 11:06

          I think wireless-battery cameras have their place, but if you have the choice, the negatives of wireless-battery outweigh the benefits:

          • cerealJay on 03/06/2022 - 14:06

            @BryceW: That article is advocating for 24/7 continuous recording, which is a completely different game. He uses the term "mission critical", but that's not the target market for wireless cameras.

            I would never use a wireless camera for 24/7 continuous recording. You end up clogging up your wireless bandwidth, and collecting a mountain of useless video, and the ongoing storage hassle that brings. And of course the battery will run out quickly.

            Wireless cameras that trigger from IR sensors, will do the job of recording people and cats that are on your property. Finally, the article you linked to makes the false claim that 2.4ghz WIFI is inherently insecure and wireless cameras easily compromised. This is a broad-sweeping claim that sounds like the man has an agenda… such as selling you his POE wired cameras.

      • samedream on 02/06/2022 - 11:43

        you are right, you still need to go up to remove the camera but no need to disconnect any cable. that only happen once because of bird pool and spider web over the camera.

        Eufy has its own wifi channel. they are not using your homewifi to connect cameras. power outage will not stop its own recording.

        most of POE camera records footage 24/7, how necessary you will need 24/7 recording. how long the equipment last if 24/7 recording. the more connections, the more chance the trouble will occur. if security is high priority, highly recommend to use POE camera, just like shops and every other busy areas.

        talking about blackout in this year. Thanks for the serve storm, pouring rain and terrible wind. it happened 5 times so far. Thanks for the ppl hard working, most of power recovered in 30 mins - 1hour.

  • USER DC on 01/06/2022 - 16:13

    should be getting arlo pro 4's but dont wanna pay them subscription how good are these eufy compared to arlo's ??

    • samedream on 02/06/2022 - 10:58

      I would say paying subscription will provide better function and service. it is money things. haha…
