We also like that Eufy cameras are easy to set up, and most of them come with high-quality 2K video resolution. If you want a wire-free camera for your backyard or a pan-and-tilt camera to keep an eye on your new kitten, then Eufy has something for you. The battery-powered, wire-free outdoor cameras all look pretty similar, so you might wonder what the difference is. The answer? Not much. They all work alike and have similar features. The main differences are price, device size, and battery life. As for Eufy’s indoor cameras, you have a choice between a small, stationary camera and one that can pan and tilt to see around an entire room. Both are excellent choices; just pick the one that suits your needs. Keep in mind that none of Eufy’s cameras have removable battery packs, so you have to take the whole camera down to charge it. You also can’t replace the batteries if they wear out without chucking the whole camera. The difference between 1080p and 2K isn’t huge—both of them will give you good enough quality to see the details of people’s faces and read signs or license plates within about 30 feet. But there is a noticeable quality boost from the 2K upgrade, which is always nice to have. If you don’t have existing doorbell wiring, or just prefer a battery model, then the Eufy Video Doorbell is a great choice. It comes in both battery-powered and hardwired models. And like the indoor cameras, the Eufy Video Doorbell comes in up to 2K resolution, which is higher image quality than we usually see from a doorbell camera. Check out our Smart Video Doorbell Buyers Guide for more details on what you need for a doorbell camera Motion-activated floodlights are some of the most basic security devices you can use to protect your home. Eufy combines that motion-triggered floodlight with a camera, so you have a video recording of what (or who) just made your backyard light up. Eufy’s 2C cameras also include built-in, motion-activated spotlights so you can see better in the dark than with night vision alone. The Eufy Indoor Cam Pan & Tilt also has that ultra-clear 2K resolution. But if you want to save some cash, you can opt for a 1080p version. This camera isn’t very good at telling the difference between people and cars at nighttime, and you can’t restrict alerts to “only humans” when night vision is on. But on the whole, it’s still a good little camera. 2K resolution gives you a visible upgrade in video quality, but it’s not life-changing. 1080p resolution will still work just fine for most people, so if you can find the EufyCam 2C for a big discount over the 2C Pro, we still recommend it. The biggest difference between the EufyCam E and other Eufy cameras is that this one uses a different hub: the HomeBase E instead of the HomeBase 2. So if you start with a EufyCam E and then want to add in, say, a Pro 2 down the line, the Pro 2’s not going to work with your HomeBase. The EufyCam E does work with the HomeBase 2, though, so if you already have a different Eufy cam, then you should be able to add the EufyCam E to your existing system. If you want all the cameras in your house to be from the same brand, then Eufy is a good choice. EufyCam 2 Pro: Of all of Eufy’s wire-free cameras, the EufyCam Pro 2 has the longest battery life with the highest video resolution. This camera is a piece of cake to set up, and you won’t have to charge it every other month. Eufy Video Doorbell: Eufy’s Video Doorbell comes in wired and battery-powered versions, as well as 2K and 1080p versions. You can choose the model that suits your needs, whether you want to replace an existing doorbell or you just want to avoid messing with electrical wires. Eufy Floodlight Camera: Eufy’s Floodlight Camera combines a 360° view, high-definition camera with a motion-activated security light. Just check that you have the right outdoor wiring for this device before you buy it. Eufy Cam Indoor: The Eufy Cam Indoor is a light little security camera you can use to watch kids, pets, or anything in between. It comes in both 2K and 1080p versions, and it doesn’t require a Eufy hub to work. Not sure if Eufy cameras are right for you? Check out these other reviews:

Eufy’s power-cord indoor cameras also use Wi-Fi, but they don’t need the HomeBase hub to work. None of Eufy’s wire-free, battery-powered cameras support 24/7 recording, and neither does the Video Doorbell. Eufy cameras that work with Apple HomeKit:
