Eufy 2C Cameras at $99, 2C Pro at $109
Developed by Anker’s smart home division, these eufyCam 2C Pro cameras we use daily since their release at the editorial office offer 2K recordings (versus 1080p for the non-Pro 2C models), free local storage on the integrated 16 GB base, a battery life of 180 days (slightly less in daily use with many triggers, but still substantial), compatibility with Amazon and Google’s virtual assistants, color night vision, person detection, and compatibility with HomeKit and HomeKit Secure Video. Be aware, however, that videos accessed through HomeKit will be in 1080p, and you’ll need to use Eufy’s dedicated app to enjoy the best quality.
Compatible with HomeKit and HomeKit Secure Video
A major advantage is the wireless range offered by the included base (cameras in the garden are quite feasible, as well as a connected doorbell at the gate that did not capture the network with competitors) which also serves as a siren, local storage, and chime if you decide to add the brand’s connected doorbell. It will also be possible to use Amazon Echo devices as additional chimes.
As a reminder, with the release of iOS/iPadOS/tvOS 15, macOS Monterey, and iCloud+, Apple removed the limit of 5 cameras maximum for HomeKit Secure Video (unlimited with the 2 TB iCloud+ subscription, one camera with the 50 GB offered, and 5 cameras with the 200 GB subscription). Cupertino’s service allows users to keep their camera recordings for 10 days at no extra cost (excluding storage subscription), with data privacy guaranteed by Apple.
