eufy 2C Pro 2K Vs Eufycam 3

tjc589 on 14/05/2024 - 15:03

Looking to get a multi camera Eufy setup for outside our house. Already have the camera/ fingerprint door lock and very happy with that.

Looking for some recommendations or personal reviews of the 2C Pro and Eufycam 3 in terms of performance and value. I know the image quality is most probably much better on the 3 given the 4k, but I am assuming 2k with the assistance of the spot light should be fine for most situations. Ability to expand storage of the HomeBase 3 is something that looks interesting just for future proofing as well.

Looks like I can pickup a 4 pack of the 2C Pro for about $700 now, but the Eufycam 3 would be a good $850+ for just a 2 camera setup.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    If you use Apple devices, EufyCam 2/2C/2 Pro/2C Pro is compatible with HomeKit Secure Video, EufyCam 3 isn't at this time

      Thanks for that. I am an iOS user, but don't use HomeKit.
      Do you think the better image quality and/or solar on the 3 is worth it?

        HSV doesn't count toward your iCloud storage limit so makes it easy to store and access your footage. If you're going with local storage via Homebase 3 make sure you can access your recordings when you're away from home. I use an Arlo hub but my low-rent NBN plan doesn't allow port forwarding so I now have one HSV camera (Aqara) in addition to my five Arlo.

    The homebase 3 is a big step up over the homebase 2. So would be learning towards the 3 cameras myself just for this.

    So this means the S300 camera range.

    All these solar/battery powered cameras work on motion detection, generally 99% of the time they are good, but can miss the odd moment.

    If you want 24/7 recording, then you need to look at something like the E330 range

      Thanks for that. It is tempting as the expandability is one that looks intereating

        HB3 storage is easy to expand, drop in a 2.5" drive. While the HB2 is a no go, the promised USB drive support has been MIA for years now, so doubt it is coming.

          Is the quality increase with the 3 worth the extra money?

            @tjc589: Only have the 4k cameras, so can't really compare to the 2k. I would guess the 2k ones would be pretty decent as well.

    If you know someone that works at Telstra, they can get 40% off the eufy store with a one time code

      Wow. Thanks for that.

    • JimmyF on 14/05/2024 - 19:52

      WOW How does one find something working there :)
