Tech Review – The Eufycam 2 outdoor security cameras with 365 day battery life. #Tech #Eufy #Anker

This is the time of year you need to step up the game with home security and you need to get moving on it if not, with the shorter days and longer nights it give thieves and opportunists alike to keep an eye on your home and watch routines and so on but with the thanks to tech we can curb theft anywhere and security cameras are no better way to do so internally and externally for good measure. Recently I heard a so called security expert saying there is no need for internal cameras which it utter rubbish and whilst we can prevent access from outside if the crooks get in we can also get more footage from them so how this person came to this conclusion is beyond me.

We already have the eufy video doorbell and it has been a gift to have it installed as it has an excellent camera and is great for couriers for example if you are not at home and works a treat and still serves me well today and better again with the dark evenings and so on and again has great night vision the new 365 day battery life outdoor security camera is no different here and you will see in the video review below what I mean it is a great system to have and a great eco system to have in your home all in one app too rather than splitting your security requirements with several products and apps. You can also check out what Gold Years has to say about the product.

I have mine out back where I am building a new office and one on the side gate but we will focus on the back garden one and in the video samples below you will see the excellent clarity, the alarm sound and voice alerts and it is very clear and loud and the alarm is piercing, you can also zoom in on anything set your zones to stop false notifications and when it comes to notifications they are swift and give a thumbnail if a human is detected for example which is excellent all this again is present in their video doorbell.

Tech Review – The eufy Security Wireless Video Doorbell with 2K HD AI detection. #Anker #Security #Eufy

The eufy security video doorbell is more than just that, it also serves as an excellent security camera as I have tested this in two capacities,one as the doorbell itself and a security camera out my back garden as when using it I noted the potential to serve in this capacity too due to the range and excellent footage which comes via a Sony 2K sensor and professional-grade lens.

I have tested many similar products here and they do a great job this one however for me so far ups the game a bit but we have more to test and compare here at techbuzz as we are now coming into the dark evenings closing in and we are getting back to work we need to remain vigilant on our security checks as people probably have turned off their cameras due to being at home like me for instance so it made perfect timing to get back in the game and check, Mostly I have couriers calling to the house and it worked a treat every time with super quick notifications and fast reaction time with no lag which some products give you.

The bell is rather on the large side but this is not a bad thing and a warning to anyone and yes it is great for the cold callers to your door even though you have a sign on the window telling such not to call you can just fob them off from your couch, same applies if you are out I find the repsonse time quick and of course you get the clips to match so you know who is there before you even consider talking to anyone. WIN!!!

Installation is easy once you have an existing bell you might need to drill a new hole to align it and make it secure because there is little naughty folk out there who like nicking bells for the laugh yet not realising they are caught on camera which is nice with a nice mugshot before they even get close,this is what this video doorbell does good,you can set the parameters on how far you want the detection to kick in which is great so you can avoid false negatives with people walking by your door etc this does depend though on how your front door is situated. You have the expected set up here with two wires,not needed in this case but there if required and you have the option to use a mechanical or digital chime plus you can change the tones too which is nice since doorbells are typically boring with a ding dong,not the case here. It is like a phone to, you can customise and I am all for that.

I live in a small private cul-de-sac but it has a gap for folk to walk through and this was an issue at the start but I was able to configure the doorbell to eliminate such activity and stop setting my phone off, you can snooze alerts in the app too but I find that pointless to some degree but it is a good feature to have due to the range on offer and what it can pick up from a further distance, Those with backdoor entrances for example in the country which is typical would love this as it can capture more than just the surrounding area but a wide area of coverage too which I like, it can effectively work as a standalone security camera in my view.

The app is simple to use which we go through below in the video review and works well on both iOS and Android as i tested on both to get a real idea as some variances can be present on different operating systems but overall this worked well on both and never missed a beat.

This company too offers more than many when it comes to other selling points, Brian from the company tells me,

Some of the things that make us different – we focus on user privacy by storing all footage locally on the device, so only the user has access to their footage. We also do all of our processing on the device which means that users get features including motion detection and geofencing at no extra cost. And since most of this takes place on the device, there’s no required monthly fee to use the doorbell.

Very important selling points and giving the consumer some assurance when it comes to privacy issues which is a huge cause for concern in the current climate. Would I suggest you buy one,well yes but they are a bit more expensive however you get excellent features which I would pay for and then the peace of mind behind with the company’s ethos.

Night time. Makes people aware you are being watched
