Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 07. 2024
- Today, we are going to compare 2 of the smallest Wired Outdoor WIFI cameras. We have the newly released Eufy Outdoor Cam Pro which Eufy also recently changed the name to eufy Security Solo OutdoorCam C24 and I'm not sure why they made it more confusing...and we will compare it to the Wyze Cam V3. We will compare its features, video and audio quality and do some testing and see if one or both of them can be a good option for your home security needs.

The Waze audio is pure garbage.
I agree.
Thank you for putting the effort. This was an in-depth analysis!
You are welcome!
Love all your reviews!
Nice review, you really worked hard on this and it shows. Good job.
Thank you.
Good comparison video. Eufy cost more than Wyze but the larger local storage support, AI on the camera, and 2K video resolution is hard to ignore. I really like my Wyze cam but Eufy got me looking haha.
Format a 128gb micro sd card into fat32 and it works on wyze cams
Thanks...I bought the eufy system because of you
Great to hear!
After contemplating and watching your vids on it I’m for sure switching to Eufy from wyze. So many better/added features. The most important part for me is no subscription fees
I agree. Sure they can sell the cam cheaper when they know they will get it back over and over again by forcing you to pay a monthly free.
Daniel Rice what if you use micro sd card
@@hakimvlogs6579 Wyze limited the features using the SD card no AI detection anymore. I started with the Wyze doorbell, but not impressed. The Eufy Indoor Cam is so much better.
They have person detection for free again now,.
If you buy the year outright it's 10 bucks.
Not sure why people have a problem with 2 bucks anyway, even with 20 cams thats nothing, if it is hard on your wallet you shouldn't be spending money on cameras anyway
Love your videos, most thorough on the tube. Can you do a video comparing video door bells that use tf cards or have a flash drive back up chime? Thanks!!!
They are both nice cameras, but the Eufy is so much better! Would love to see a comparison between the Eufy Cam Pro and the Reolink lumus. Camera tech is reaching a point where the differences are small, but now the manufacturers are trying to out do the other with additional features. 4k is just around the corner for these small cameras. Can't wait! Thanks again for the hard work!
I have to check the Lumus and see it Reolink added AI on them... I'm currently testing IMOU's 2k cameras too and it seems like they are pretty good especially the video quality. I'll post what it looks like here in a bit...
Thanks so much for the review
No problem!
Great review! Thanks.
You are welcome.
Thanks again for your testing video very good. Greeting from thr netherlands Marc
My pleasure!
The Wyze cam v3 is great but I’ve had problems where the micro usb would come off the plug in part of the camera
I have a eufy 2c cam and they at perfect for me, notifications are quick, the homebase acts as an extender so I have one at the bottom of my garden on my shed, wyze are cheap, but to get full functionality you have to add subscription which will mean you will pay more in the long run!
Hello @lifeHAckstter. Thank for all your reviews. I need advice. which camera should I get eufy Security Solo OutdoorCam C24 vs Reolink argus 3 pro to put in my garage?
Love your informative videos. Thanks to you I bought the Wyze v3 and love it. With that said, can you do a video on how to pair google nest hub 2nd gen to Wyze v3 cam. Thank you in advance.
Can both of these be used with RTSP to download the 24/7 footage to an nvr? Also for the 24/7 footage, how many days worth does it show on a 32gb card for each of the units? and lastly, with both apps, will it show you what is local and what is cloud based(if you go with cloud storage)?
Did you use an extension cord to power them? I thought I saw it hanging. I know eufy comes with a 20’ cord but I don’t think it will be long enough.
Love your video, my friend! My question is what camera did you shoot this video with? I see your kit collection and I checked it out but I'm curious to which specific camera and lens you used this video with? The quality and focus is spot on in those shots in your office! Hope you reply my friend! Thanks!
LifeHackster hey the new eufy cams being released any time now (solar powered range etc) can you tell them to have a 24/7 recording option like this one ? It is the only thing missing!!!
Great video. Do the cameras over write old data on the memory card when they are full? Or do they need to be formatted once they reach capacity. And how long does it take to fill (128GB) roughly?
The Eufy overwrites the card when full. If the camera was recording 24/7, a 128gb card should give approximately 12 days of recording before overwriting.
My wyze is been acting up. The update recently came & it wouldn't accept the new update. It cut off & never booted back up. They replaced it & the new one is acting up. I did the Powe off, sign out. Don't help.
What are those lights you have on your shed out back?
I love my Wyze cams because of the pricing and quality. But looks like i will be ordering a eufy.
Was this review demonstrated without a subscription to Eufy Outdoor Cam Pro C24?
Would either of these two cameras work for customer surveillance in small retail shop?
Eufy is 99$ but it's worth it over the V3. I just wish they'd let you customise the activity zones rather than rigid boxes.
As always, great review L.H.
You are welcome.
Nice and detailed video but how many meters is the cable usb?
I personally appreciate your thorough analysis of both cams. You helped me make my decision. I will stick to the wyze camera system.
James B Kimbrough
Saint Augustine, Florida
Thank you. I appreciate it.
What if you disable the Wyze smart detection features but keep the cam plus subscription? Will that shorten the notification time for wyze cam?
Good question, I would like to know this too!
Great video. Can you receive notifications from an Eufy device when you are NOT at home?
Yes, you get alerts though the app.
If I had a 100$ limit for a indoor camera for a dorm room what would you suggest. I want to avoid subscriptions and I’m willing to buy a sd card. I want to be able to watch live, watch recorded motion detected videos. Please lemme know what you think, thanks
I have 3 Wyze v3 cams and one of my biggest gripes is with the app. I use the motion alerts to narrow done the time of an event then go back and check the playback from the sd card. Wyze doesn’t give you any control as far as playback speed so you can play at 2x or 5x to scan through footage. Using the time stamps from clips works but what a pain. Does Eufy’s app have playback speed options?
The eufy has tiled/thumbnail type of events and mostly in 1 minute increments footages..
@@LifeHackster But what about playback speed?
@@jaywhite1850 no playback speed option.
Wyze just added a 30 second forward or reverse for playback on the SD card. Just enough to miss something.
would you please review some dual dash cams as well?
My problem is my seven v2 CMs easily fall offline. I’m about to add the Wyze Cam v3, while having issues with the drop off. All of these cameras have an 32GB micro card installed.Their power source is constantly on. How do I get these cameras to stay online?
I moved over to Wyze V3 for this reason. Once I went from Synology Router/Mesh to Asus ZenWifi, I got tons of disconnects daily from the Eufy 2k indoor cameras. Nothing that I did would fix the issue (wifi channels, and playing with tons of settings). The Wyze cameras are nice with the night vision but I find the picture was a bit better with Eufy.
I'm not sure. I have the wyze pan still plugged in and it works every time I tried to check it. the V3 works pretty good too.
Both camera are really good
Thanks for the great video as always. Just to clarify, the Wyze cam supports up to at least a 256 GB SD card, if not higher. I'm running a 256 GB in mine and it recognizes the full size.
What version wyze? v3?
He’s quoting the official specs. While many people have gotten bigger cards to work there are lots of people on their forums and on Reddit who complain they can’t get the larger cards to work/encounter errors.
Wyze hasn't change their spec sheet to show this...so, I'm assuming it is not endorsed by them so i have to stay with 32GB.
Eufy has quicker notifications which is important to me. Maybe Ill try something Wyze that is not a camera.
Thanks for the info!
What is the best way to add security on Eufy when installing, it’s just magnet and can be stolen easily. Any suggestions? Thanks again
I just ordered this Eufy cam and I've got the same question.
Same issue. It's a great cam but no reviews mention how easy it is to steal and lose the recordings with it. For the same price could get the wyze plus a few years of cloud backups.
You are good hop you make youtube full time
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Will these cameras work without internet connection? If the criminal Cuts your cable, he will steal your cameras and it will not be recorded. I have a Panasonic camera that shuts off when it's disconnected to the internet.
What would you recommend for the best outdoor wireless camera that can go 200 feet away from a base station or wifi router, with no subscription for 4 cameras.only one camera has to be 200 feet away.
200 ft is stretching it. You will not get reliable connection if it even connects.
You’ll probably need a WiFi range extender between the camera and your primary WiFi router.
Well I have star link internet. Then outside my house I have a tp link repeater, then 200 feet away, I have another repeater that has dual band Mimo. I have tried Toucan cameras, they all connected but did not have good pir sensors and the record time was too low. I am now trying out a Lorex l222a81-6-cm-e system. It's much better I can almost go any where on my 1.5 acre property and the cameras work. Picture quality is not quite as good as I'd like and the batteries drain fast one needs to be charged and it's only been a week.(high traffic area) I expected much better picture quality for 879$, but the system came with 6 cameras. A big let down also is that the spot light only works for about 10 seconds. I was thinking I'd be able to walk around at night and use the spot lights to light up my property. There has to be something out there that won't break the bank but still get a good picture quality with good details, and good triggering.
Honestly, if I got that Wyze cam and installed it, I would think I got a bad unit if the audio was that bad and the video with the LED light on was that washed out. Yuck!
If you format the 128gb micro sd in fat32 it works in Wyze cams. I have 128gb in all my wyze cams.
Can the magnet be mounted to the side of the camera? I want to have it on the front of my house with the camera facing the front path which leads to the frontdoor.
On the Eufy yes it can. I use the same side mount since it sits on the side of a pillar facing down the drive
How do these compare to the reolink lumus? It would be a logical alternative to these two, and price is good
I have to check.. I'm also testing more 2K wired camera brands and probably do a best video.
@@LifeHackster I've been looking for a decent spotlight camera, and there really aren't that many options. Lumus, ezviz C3N, and a couple of imou that I've never really heard of
@@simoneatough6391 I’m testing the imou right now and it is very promising..
@@LifeHackster interesting... Which imou? I just seen your post. Is that bullet 2k? Are the lights spotlight style?
@@simoneatough6391 the bullet spotlight and the cruiser both 2K quadHD
I have wize cam v3 you recomend my thank
"You can have 3 WYZE cams for 1 Eufy". Yup on my 3rd V3 cam, they keep failing. Getting tired of climbing a ladder to change it. Going to try Eufy for a change.
Did you try the Eufy? I want to try them in the boiler room and deciding between the two.
Same are happening with mine. Looking at eufy or reolink to replace
I’ve had 3 brick themselves. You have the same issue? The red status light turns on and you can’t do anything. Went through support and still no luck. They keep sending me new ones.
@@pklemm1 Yup red light stays on. You can reflash the firmware with an SD card but they just go back to solid red and do nothing, cant connect. I think they all failed a day or two after updating the firmware. That or after a power cycle. I have not had a failure since I stopped updating them. They also all now run on an UPS.
@@chadmason8526 yes exactly. So done with wyze. They would send me new ones and the same thing happened. No luck flashing firmware. My eufy cams were delivered yesterday. So far a lot less issues.
Can you plz do a video strictly on best camera if you already have floodlights installed. With farthest detection and person
I will do a best 2K wired WIFI pretty soon...I'm testing some more brands.
LifeHackster hey the new eufy cams being released any time now (solar powered range etc) can you tell them to have a 24/7 recording option like this one ? It is the only thing missing!!!
If I connect either one of them with a usb cable to a pc, will that work without wifi?
I don't think so. The usb port just a power supply. I doubt it has any data connection feature.
Would you prefer the Eufy outdoor cam pro, or the Eufy L40?
Outdoor Cam PRO
@@LifeHackster Awesome, thanks.... Just bought the Outdoor Cam Pro.
Thinking Wyze sucks as I got in my car, them opened hood checked the oil, drove away & no alert EVEN on "Cam Plus" BUT the night mode is not comparable to the starlight (very nice) feature; Eufy would be the winner here if it had this feature.
After running the Wise Cam3 for 90 days now, have constant false alerts with trees branch movements. Will upgrade soon to Cam P and see if this corrects.
Cam+ solved all of my notification issues
@@juggernaugh75321 Any trouble from car headlight at night triggering?
If you are installing outdoors with trees in the FOV, you will definitely get false motion alerts... Cam plus and their AI is pretty spot on though.
@@LifeHackster it's the shadow casted from a tree that triggers the false notifications.
@@mobilecommunicationsnetwor5268 for me (V2 with CamPlus) car headlights at night will trigger person detection.
Transitioning from night to morning light also triggers it.
I adjust my detection grids to no avail.
Does the eufy camera record even when out of range from the internet
Yes to the SD card then it will send them to the app when wifi is returned
Seems like the Eufy performed better in most cases. Wyze had sharper night vision on IR and beats Eufy on price point.
idk about price point. You got to factor in the subscription each month. It might beat if you only plan to use the cam 3 months.
I have Wyze V2 and Wyze V3 surrvalliance cameras. For some reason Wyze won't ever recognize the sd cards I've purchased. I even purchased Wyze sd cards. Any tips on how to make the cameras recognize the sd cards?
Format them to FAT32
@@james62370 so you're saying to not format them with the camera?
And to use a computer to format to Fat32, then reinsert it back into the Wyze cam?
@@djogoku1 If you're able to format with the camera then your Wyzecam is already recognizing the sdcard and the file system. The original question states that their Wyzecam does not recognize any sdcards which they've purchased. So what I'm saying is if your Wyzecam doesn't recognize your sdcard, then yes, you should put it in a pc or linux device and format the card to FAT32. I believe Windows 10 no longer gives FAT32 as an option, so you would need a program such as MiniTool Partition Wizard or similar in order to do this.
@@james62370 I can confirm windows 10 formats in FAT32 still I did it a couple weeks ago.
I have 2 of the Wyse v3 cams and they are decent cameras for the money. The firmware upgrades are useless though. The Wyse community has similar tales of worthless zoning. Wyse is def to its customers begging for resolution in their own web pages. I think I'll get the Eufy ones next thanks.
You are welcome.
Ring spotlight or stick up cam or eufy pro ?.
I'll go with the Eufy for video quality...but if you are already invested in Ring products, they are pretty good in everything else like app and accurate and fast motion detection.
What would you recommend for for "clear" image at 60 - 80 feet? Just to be able to replay clear video if something where to happen to my cars at a shared parking lot, i have a wezy cam but cant deliver what i need, thank you for your time and videos
I'm still confused about the Wyze Cam v3 cooldown period of 5 minutes - if you are recording to SD Card and not have cloud subscription, does the camera record all events to SD card or only events that happen 5 minutes apart from each other? Or is the cooldown period just for notifications?
The cool down is just for notifications. All motion events or 24/7 footage are recorded in the microSD card.
I purchased four Wyze eary v3 cameras in late 2017 for $20.00. I had to see if they were even real at that price of four for twenty US dollars. I was very impressed but being a Windows PC user; I Could Not use them on anything except my iPhone and iPad. I also purchased a pan cam a few months later and then joined the Wyze beta tester group the pancam operates really well on all settings as do two other v3 cams. I still have one v3 cam in an unopened box. I also have an unopened box of the first Wyze Remote home automation device???
I have not used because of no Windows program. The Wyze cameras are good but the other one in your video probably would be my choice due to the quick notification.😊. Good video.
Thanks.
The v3 was launched in 2020 not in 2017. So you probably got the V2.
Im liking my 2 Wyze V3s. At $25 each they were a bargain.
Me to I use the floodlight cam on 1 of mine in the garage and it works great
Where did you purchase for $25?
Wyze Cam has the starlight sensor for color in low light and it looks better then any other security camera when there is very little light. Seems you did not turn that feature on. If the Eufy had the starlight sensor then it would have been the clear winner.
The starlight sensor is always ON. You saw it several times in the night footage. What I didn’t do is compare it to the eufy without the spotlight ON which is not practical because if you buy the eufy you will always set the spotlight to turn ON when it senses motion.
With the night vision off you would see in color night vision and that’s what makes the Wyze cams better I have Reolink eufy and Wyze v.3 and Wyze beats them all with color night vision. Good video …for the most part lol
Eufy performed way better from the start, killed it.
The sound quality of both is a deal breaker.
Why they cannot make it possible to connect it via ethernet. It would be totally perfect device for me then.
I have wyze3
I hate the audio n lack of wide view lens
Their audio could be better.
Eufy seems to be a winner.
all 4 of my Wyze V3 audio is terrible. V2 audio is much better. I can't even enable the audio on mine because it's really useless.
Where can I get the Eufy ? Amazon is out of stock
There are available - amzn.to/2U2C4BU
Eufy Cam on Black Friday Sale 2022 at 65 bucks!
Cam plus will usually delay your ability to view clips for extended times. Up to days or never!
Notifications on the Wyzw cameras are stupendously horrible. Eufy for me.
Al,so could you review another brand Named ANNKE ?seem their stuff looks promising..
Tried the eufy cameras and I could not get the motion detection to work.
Have you by any chance change the mode to "armed' in the security menu?
A big dissadvantadge that was not really pointed out is that the Wyze cam can only record locally 1.5 days of storage with the garbage 32GB limit. Pretty useless
It supports at least 256 GB SD card, maybe even higher. Running a 256 GB in mine, works fine.
Running a 128gb on mine not problem.
@@watkinsjason thanks for letting me know! That changes things a lot! I wonder why wyze says 32gb only?
but why would u need to record more than 1 day tho?
Wyze's lower purchase price advantage is quickly diminished after several months of subscription fees needed to match the included options on the Eufy. Eufy or TP-Link are better buys than Wyze.
Eufy $130.00🇨🇦 2k I use Lenovo tablet OLED display HD 🎉 thanks brother ❤
En español por favor.
The wyze V3 can actually take 128 GB card but it has to be xc
The audio is no comparison. The Eufy blows the Wyze away easily!
A camera that doesn't use cloud storage and can record to a local nas drive is better no matter the quality.
care to recommend one?
@@danielhsubr I haven't found one yet. I need someone to hack the camera so I can save the video to local NAS drive.
I've owned Wyze cams in the past and never again.
No HKSV? ..then no money from me.
Not at this time.
Wyze has the hardest set up I ever saw. Terrible, put, you pay for what you get
EUFY IS better.. wyze v3 sounds like a tin can. but wyze is dirt cheap.. Eufy has 5 new secuirty cams coming out this summer with a new floodlight PTZ model that has AI tracking no subscriptions. it would be wyze to save up for the eufy !
I really would get that if it had 24/7 man!
eufy is clear winner against wyze
you only get what you pay for. Eufy all the way
Seems a bit unfair to be comparing a camera that costs 3 times as much to another one.
💐🌹🌷👏👍❤️💐
Eufy software > Wyze software
wyze camera, app, su*ks. gos offline too much. support is poor. save you money.
