- We compare the Eufy 2 Pro and Eufy 2C Pro camera models, going over differences in battery life, night vision and base stations. Both cameras feature 2K resolutions. The 2C Pro has up to 6 months of battery life, while the 2 Pro has up to 1 year of battery life. The 2C Pro also has an integrated spotlight and colour night vision, while the 2 Pro only shoots night in black and white.
We have the Eufy range available on our store: www.devicedeal.com.au/cctv-su...

Thanks for that concise clarification. Personally I would like the 2C but a spotlight is a great deterrent, so 2C Pro it is. Eufy seem to have algorithms that prevent any single camera meeting all my needs.
I was looking for an outdoor camera to keep an eye on my dogs in the yard when I'm not home. czcams.com/users/postUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe Tried a different one that was absolutely terrible, so I got these instead. They work perfectly! With 3 of these cameras I can see every corner of the yard, and they were very easy to set up. The best part is I only get the footage I want to see, not hours of videos of the bird feeder swaying in the breeze.
Especially if you notice the price difference: you can go with the 2C Pro and buy an additional solar panel so that you won't have any battery issues AND have the spotlight for less money ;-)
Have had the earlier Eufycam 2 ( 1080p ) system with 2 cameras and homebase 2 working for pretty much 12 months on our house, and have been very useful and reliable. I fitted one camera with the Eufy solar panel ( because camera is mounted high and hard to get to ) - NOTE if you want to fit a permanent charging cable to camera from either the solar panel or a long cable say into loft to make access easier to charge without having to access the camera you cannot use the magnetic mount as not enough room to get cable plugged in. I also fitted a couple of the Eufy stand alone battery powered ( 2 year replaceable battery ) remote sensors and using the 'automation' in the app told them to trigger the camera if they sensed anything, this works really well and the sensors are only about £24 each, so will not break the bank. I have LED floodlights with sensors covering the same places as cameras, so if the floodlight gets triggered you get colour vision even if auto-night vision on camera is selected as the ambient light overrides the black and grey infra red night vision.
Thanks! This was great information!!!
Milkayl, nice to see you are still posting videos about Eufy. I did email you guys early December with a list of items I intend to buy for our new house with some questions of in regards to the base station(s) required and also completed the inquiry form on your webpage. Unfortunately I did get no reply to either
Great video!
Very informative when comparing the two. The battery pack on the 2 Pro model is something I hadn't seen covered before.
Hey everyone, I bought the eufy cam E series 2 years ago and it's been great. The only issue is that when I went to add on I was told that they do not produce the "E" series any longer. So I would need to purchase another home base and the amount of additional cameras I wanted. Something to look into before buying this brand. Not sure if all brands are like this, but it's worth mentioning.
This is exactly the info I was looking for, thanks. the other major difference I can see is the 2C is half the price
can you use the magnet mounting on the eufy 2c pro? I want to upgrade from my arlo camera system and I still want to use the magnetic mounts from it.
Thank you for this crispy clear video!
Can we view video alerts thru our t.v. without getting out of bed ? If u hook up extra battery to the base when no power outage, will it drain itself ? U forgot to mention a little detail that u can only get spot light on 2c pro when u r on home app and not on home kit.
I’m so glad I found you! best price found good luck in the future, I’ll recommend you to all my friends and family!
Thank you Carole, happy to hear that! 😊
Thanks. With the home base (#2 or 3 ?) can I skip the subscription service. I too have Arlo cams that have end of life this July.
What about how the human detection works?
Is it different between the models?
Does it work with Night Vision and Spotlight Vision?
Questions, how does the battery backup work if the power goes out (wifi ) is out too correct? My 2nd question is how long do the clips record for when Activated by motion Or does it be cord until the motion has stop? I have the blink 3 cameras, And I'm looking for an upgrade.
Hi, is it this cameras working only with Wi-Fi like Arlo only 2.4 Mhz or it works also 4G and 5G?
I piggyback off my neighbours internet,(with permission). Do i have to set these up connected to their modem first etc and will the reception be strong enough to operate cams around my house? We get fairly good reception with our connection on phones, comps etc.
Not sure if it we a software update or if you didn’t say it but the 2 pro also had color night vision.. it just needs a little ambient lightning. Most people have an outdoor patio light or something on at their house so 90% of people will still get color night vision with both cameras and it’s actually better because you don’t need the spotlight on all the time alerting people?
Are the add ons backwards compatible? I have the regular base. Do they really make you update the base if you want a newer add on?
Hi, how do you add multiple devices to HoneBase 2 please. I had the battery doorbell 2k installed and when adding the Pro 2/2k the doorbell disappeared 😒 and all the saved history.SOS help 💙
Do you knot think these are little expensive & so is there any similar that are good but knot as expensive Thank you??
Thank you so much, this is exactly the information I was looking for ! I figured the 2 pro was wider, just wasn’t sure.
how is remote access? Can you interrogate the base from the internet?
this is exactly what I am looking for! But it’s hard to make decision!
I have a eufycam how do you rename your cameras I went to settings it doesn't show me how to rename a camera how do you do it
Great video, I liked it, helped me a lot.
Same base station as the 2k battery doorbell?
2c is better, the spotlight is super scary against intruders, i combine this with my vacuum robot and he keeps 3 rooms safe with patrols.
The spotlight is definitely very useful!
Spot light only works if u have it on home app.
But, the spotlights are quite weak. I have stand alone motion spot lights that lights up areas better, is more of a deterrent and creates better quality night footage due to better lighting. For for me. 2 Pro would be better with the better battery life.
@@lifeofeml it looks not so weak in darkness for me and the standalone version is without homebase less safe or does it have the homebase alsi as standalone version? a hidden extra alert homebase is a extra problem for the intruder.
@@zombos22222 the only difference between the 2 Pro and 2C pro is the integrated spot lights feature and the battery life. One comes with spot light but has a much smaller battery capacity. One comes without a spot light but with a much larger battery. Both work with and can come bundled with HomeHub 2. Both are similarly priced here in the UK.
With the app can i view live when im out of town?
Can this become used without internet connectivity not fussed about notifications just need tools connect whenever I'm home
How do u charge or change the battery?
hi. is it 2.4ghz wifi or 5ghz wifi connection?cheers
Hi, this was a great video….i do have a question in regards to the UPS or battery back up…you do mention the the home base will have back power supply but if the wifi goes down….does this affect the recording due to the fact that the camera’s rely on wifi to operate?
I saw a review on here for the battery backup and the reviewer said that the system will still record without wi-fi, but will not notify you on your phone.
On the 2C Pro, is there a charger included and how long does it take to charge the batteries? Also, is it possible to operate the cameras from solar or wired power?
Cameras are charged via standard USB. They can be charged from Homebase.
Do you need to charge the cameras before you install them?
I have the eufy doorbell can i add this camera to my door bell setup
What is the warranty? I just watched another vid to where spot light failed on a eufy camera and night vision failed as well. If I wanted to buy 4 cam and wanted to buy more cams. I found out I had to buy more routers and such to make things work when I could buy an Arlo for the same price.
Hi Los. Eufy provides a 12 month warranty for products in Australia: myeufy.com.au/warranty/
Not sure what you mean by saying you need more routers. One Eufy base station is enough to connect up to 16 cameras. Our team is happy to assist with any inquiries if you were looking to buy a 4-pack from our store.
Hi. Good review. I wonder if this camera system also allows you to watch live stream if needed?
Answering to myself, yes it does
lol thank u for that
Awesome video thank you
Can you buy the back up battery separately and use other with the 2c homebase
It's possible, but they are hard to find. You can try going for a UPS (uninterruptible power supply).
Can I just use super glue to glue a heavy duty magnet on the 2c pro
Do you need wifi for these?
Can you get each wired
You can get colour night vision on the 2C Pro without the spotlight
2c for me. The most compacted camera of the two
U say eufy can mix and match, can the 2pro use the 2c cameras ? Do u have to charge the backup battery for the 2pro ?
Hi Los. As long as you have a Eufy Base Station, you can connect any Eufy camera to it. So you can have some 2 Pro, 2C Pro, and other cameras connected to the one base station. Hope this makes sense.
With 16 gb storage how many hpurs/months of video it can store before overwritting
The HomeBase 2 has a 16GB eMMC built-in storage, which can store up to 180 days of video, assuming you’re recording 30 videos a day and 20 seconds of each video. This is more than enough in most cases.
The actual duration varies depending on the recording frequency and video length.
Great Video !! but if your power to your house goes out, the backup battery would be pointless (wouldnt it), as your network router will go down, and the cams wont be able to stream video back to the base anyway ?
Great question. The cameras don't require any network router to operate - only the included base station. So in the event of power failure, the backup battery will keep the base station operating for up to 8 hours, and everything will still work fine while the battery is running. You'll still have working cameras while your power gets restored.
@@DeviceDeal that is a huge plus.
Then one proceeds to switch off the home router first and then to collect the whole setup, because nothing will get uploaded without working internet. Maybe I’m wrong, just thinking.
This is probably the strangest question that you have ever received. Will a big male Eastern Grey be viewed as human by the eufy cameras. I live on acreage, which I share with a very big male Eastern Grey. Will he be viewed as human? If yes, battery life will be greatly diminished, maybe solar panels will cope with that. Look forward to your answer.
Our neighbors have EUFY security cameras that are magnetic mounted and he simply throws a football at them to get them down when he wants to recharge the batteries !!!
Can they be used without internet connection?
no it needs working wifi
i got both version, 2c pro is better in my opinion.
the led light give better night vision.
no baterry back up on for my 2 pro in the box ( bough on amazon)
the speaker sound is very bad on both mybe slightky better on 2 c pro.
i had tested both at the same place and 2 c pro sensor was picking up better and further away than 2 pro.
if too close from a wall the night vision on 2 pro is terrible, look like the wall reflect and affect the night vision. go for 2 c pro for nigth vision.
battery wise it is easy to connect solar panel or like mine i have it plug with long usb cable in a wifi socket. i have it set up to charge weekly 2 hours and it is always 100% so not a big issue to take the smaller camera
2 c pro in my opinion is better and cheaper.
also something strange the quality of the picture in my wife samsung android is better than my iphone...??? very strange.
work very bad with google hub ( lag is crazy) to wacth the camera live
i have very strong and fast internet so it is not the internet but the way it connect to googke hub.
not bad but need improvement.
if someone run the video capture is not good on both.
also during the day there is option humain or all motion but for some reason all motions is recorded at night time and cannot be changed so cats and animal do trigger the alarm. very silly ...
eufy is not bad but lots of things not are not making sense.
especialy their eco system with the ither product
( indoor camera not conectabke on home base , no loud outdoor alarm siren in option do complement)
the camera siren is ok but not that loud so the siren on home base.
not sure if it woukd wake me up being upstair with bedroom door close.
bit pricey for what it is...
do you know if you can manually turn on the spotlight when doing live view?
@@MarkKidsley1989 yes you can turn the spotlight on or off while visioning or you can have it on or off while the camera detect movement and start recording .
It is well done in that matter
My 2c pro box didn’t include backup battery
I purchased the 2 camera version. Maybe it’s only for higher cam version?
He said that it comes with 2 pro. Not 2C pro
@@jarisalo301 thanks, I misheard
As alert eufy is a soft system a burglar is not scared of! Burglar can switch the alarm off simply by unplug the homebase power plug. The homebase give a little beep so the burglar know were to find it to switch power off. If the Eufy system manage to give an alert sound this sound is inhouse and this sound (beep) is very low. So no one will hear the alarm sound outside the house! 😳
If you also got the Eufy cameras these give also a very low (soft) beep sound and also only for the time this camer see a person (movement). The mostly give an alert sound only for 5 seconds! More Eufy cameras can not sound the alert together by any alert trigger in the Eufy system and the homebase can not set also the alert sound of the cameras when an alert is triggert. Linking all cameras and homebase(s) so that they sound an alarm together is easy to program and is a missed opportunity from makers the Eufy system. These videos here are paid commercials to promote the Eufy products.
You do not need the Eufy alert keyboard because you can also set all these functions (Away/Home/...) through or in your Eufy app on your phone or tablet 😲
If the power is cut by a burglar the Eufy homebase will not work any more. So no alert is given by your Eufy alarm system and because 230V power is off your wifi will not send you any Eufy alert notifications!
Alll in all not a good system for scaring away burglars. An external loud alarm / siren device is missing from the Eufy program and present alert possibilities are not flexible or loud enough to scare burglars.
the Battery life is standby life any usage reduces that
Battery life is calculated on probably 20 to 30 triggers a day, standby life with no triggering of camera is more like 3 years for the 365 day battery camera. When using auto night vision the red IR led only light up when sensor is triggered and only stay on while recording then go off, this saves battery life and makes the camera harder to spot at night because no tell-tale red lights ( but they are not very noticeable anyway ) - cameras with IR lights on all the time attract spider, which cause problems or false triggers.
Nice system but Eufy doesn't have a powerful outdoor siren or a flash light. Burglars are mainly startled by a powerful siren, which the Eufy system cannot offer! Eufy does have a beeper (alarm) on the homebase and the camera, but with that you tell the burglar exactly where the camera and the Eufy homebase are. If he also takes it with him, then you have nothing because the video images are stored on the homebase! And the beeping sound from the camera or the Eufy homebase is far from powerful. A pitty for Eufy security system and a missed opportunity.
Alarms are not as effective as you imagine. Also, get an alarm system if you want an alarm; these are recording devices. When you are at this price range, focus on camera features. Anything extra comes at the cost of diminished surveillance. You can consider either adding a dedicated alarm system or going for a wired system that has both video and alarm components, but you are looking at thousands of dollars at that level. You get what you pay for!
music not needed
Do I have to have an 'Apple Phone' to use this?!
Hi Peter. Eufy cameras can be setup with either an iPhone or an Android phone. Thanks.
@@DeviceDeal Cooooool ....thanks for the info ...
THE COLOUR NIGHT LIGHT DOES **NOT** OFFER MORE DETAIL! THE MONO OFFERS FAR MORE CONTRAST AND CAN SEE THROUGH WINDOWS & OBJECTS THE COLOUR CANNOT!
Dude not sure where you live but the magnet is a joke it's way to easy for someone to steal so unless you or the company is going to replace it when it get's stolen, you shouldn't make light of it.
I have this sistem for 2 years and it becomes a junk. Pure detection 90 procent.
Short recording even u put on maximum
I’m very disappointed after buying this because 1/ you cannot continuously steaming the video and 2/ it does not record 24/7 but only if there are motions
Money wasted … very disappointed !
Omg .........Don't be ? Fooled ,,,,,,, Not A Joke.......Help I want a Security Eufy Camera System Working on My Pc. Windows 10 11 Or Even Windows 7.......... Not A Phone ..Nor Tablet ....... No i want it on my Laptop or Pc... NOT A MAC ,,,,,,,, .Help ☺☺
If you have the 2c, can you buy the battery backup separately for the homebase?
It's possible, but they are hard to find. You can try going for a UPS (uninterruptible power supply).
