Boasting a 180-day battery life from a single charge and IP67 water resistance, it’s designed to withstand the elements.

Alexa integration and an easy installation process make it a winner for homeowners looking for hassle-free security without breaking the bank.
Our Hands-On Experience
Installing the EufyCam 2C at CrimeStats HQ couldn’t have been simpler. Mounting the cameras was straightforward, and connecting to the HomeBase 2 hub took minutes. The app interface is intuitive, offering quick access to live feeds, motion detection settings, and playback. The battery life claim holds strong, and the night vision produced sharp, clear footage even on pitch-black nights. We particularly liked that there are no mandatory cloud subscriptions—you own your footage.
