About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Hi all, have been searching for a new security camera this evening as our car was stolen last night so the wife is a bit on edge still. The neighbour got some images but the guy had a hoodie on so no luck with ID from whatever camera he has!
Anyways, came across this one on a limited offer and the reviews seem good enough so thought I'd share.
Many thanks!

Absolutely brilliant products., with no need for on going subscription if you don't want to.
However I would question you research what you need. My Eufy cams are at the entrance doors and trigger when a human comes near the door. So they dont record 24/7 and won't record what happens in the street or end of the drive, unless a human comes in range.
You might be better off with a dedicated cctv system with a hard drive hub that records you drive and car and the street 24/7
Must be too early for all the Eufy haters to post the usual security concerns from their Google, Apple, Alexis, etc devices.😃 The push notifications have to be temporary stored in rhe cloud to be able to be seen on your phone.
I have the 2c from a black Friday deal. Best to buy these sort of things when sales are on and with Easter coming up maybe the next good prices.
If you buy one install it high enough someone cannot nick it or press the the reset button.
Or if installing lower, Ebay sell plastic cases with a noddy chain if you want to install within reach. Likewise a solar panel is a brilliant accessory if you don't want to have to take the camera down to recharge it. (edited)
You're undertsating the problem to suit your opinion- it's not just that it uploaded a thumbnail. Feeds could be accessed remotely with no encryption, amongst other issues. And then Eufy lied about it, before eventually addressing.
Google, Apple etc. also do not pretend their producvts work 100% offline, whereas Eufy did. Even if that doesn't matter to you, people should be able to trust their security company not to lie, especially when you have cameras/microphones in your home. (edited)
Buy a Salind vehicle tracker while your at it. 3 month battery life. £54 yearly fee and will track your vehicle around the globe.
Some scrote smashed his van window on the driveway, nothing but his hoody up… we got a really good clear video of the whole incident with time stamps and date, along with the guys face and a neighbour who witnessed it and chased the guy off.
Put in on Facebook, within an hour had maybe 15 people all come back with the same name, a well known thief in our area. Went through the trouble of uploading it to the Police etc, gave them the guys name, all of the details… the Police didn’t even investigate it, zero compensation, they just said that the guy was caught for a bunch of others stuff and he basically just let the police put his name against a bunch of unsolved crimes and it was job done as far as they are concerned. They said the chance of him being able to pay compensation in the rare chance it was lucky enough to go through courts and be ordered was pretty much zero.
So go into it with your eyes open. This seems like a decent deal for a camera that will at least put off a few sceotes and give you a bit of evidence, as much as a camera for 10x the price will, but no matter how much you spend there’s always going to be a chance.
Secondly this is a good deal. I have 4 Eufy cameras and hard wired CCTV. The eufy doorbell and cameras are great for quickly checking the property if needed. Maybe the doorbell rings or to confirm a false alarm if the burglar alarm goes off. The wired CCTV is recording 24/7 as a backup to document events so a timeline can be provided to authorities if needed.
However, living in London, I have absolutely no illusion that cameras provide any deterrent whatsoever from car thefts. Amateur thieves, let alone professionals, will cover their faces and scoff at the camera. Ultimately you can only make it harder for for the theft rather than to stop it so, in this case, I suggest you purchase a high quality steering lock and/or a driveway security post. But another way of looking at it is if they can take the car quickly with little fuss then thats all they do. It's rare but, not unheard of, for them to try to enter the property, or target the owners themselves, to obtain the keys to a vehicle that they really want. It may not feel like it but them taking the vehicle with no physical harm to your family really is the best outcome.
On the keys question, I am hazarding that your Nissan has keyless entry and your car keys are hung up near the front door. If this is the case it is likely they used a signal booster to essentially trick the car to thinking the keys were within proximity of it. I personally hate keyless entry but there is nothing you can do to disable it. The only option is to buy yourself an RFID blocking key case or box but this doesn't stop signal grabbing, when out and about, if the thief has targeted your vehicle and is using that method.

Worst Bit
1. Battery life is horrible , i have a Eufy solar panel connected and still in cold moths it drops more than it charges . Be mindful I am comparing that with Eufy cam 2 pro which is about 10 feet away and with same solar panel setup and all same settings and yet it never drops below 100% battery . The Eufy cam 2 pro even has more alerts.
2. No RTSP Support
3. No anti tamper alarm like Eufy cam 2 pro .
So overall for me all those are enough not to invest on it
Cameras are handy but with masks and hoodies they're still not perfect. I think the most important thing is to make your own home and possessions look a less easy target than others in the area.
Looked at play store reviews and seems theres a lot of issues currently, records disappear after 2 hours is the issue i was having, i looked and memory was full on every camera as expected but not over writing.
I wiped the cameras so they have 0gb used and now they're wrking again, so new update is stopping them over writing once full.
Ive also noticed my flood light cam pro has started turning the light on every few minutes constantly all night long even though nothings moving
at £79.99.
Does anybody know how they compare? (edited)
No.
Did I buy anyway?
Yes.
Cheers OP
I would never have an online enabled camera in a sensitive place. But monitoring garden I couldn’t care if chinese MI5 monitor the squirrels 🐿️
Apparently "We need to do better" which is as bad as corporate speak gets.
Also won't be long until they adopt a subscription model like Ring have just announced. (edited)
It does not pick up human movement as soon as they come into range. We had a group of lads chuck a "for sale" sign in our front garden. By the time the camera started the act had already been done.
Thinking of changing
I'd stick one of those wireless battery powered ones in the car, clip it on the sunvisor to g et a really good shot of their face.,
CCTV is great but as you found out, you'll end up with a low fps video of some scrote in a hoodie. Handy having movement alerts.
But is there a tiny one
Battery powered
Someone tried to break in my car that was parked on the road outside, the banging was so loud that I woke up, luckily they ran off when car alarm went off.. sickening!

Personally when I come around to changing them, I was looking at these:
amazon.co.uk/dp/…r=t
Any thoughts for these please? Goods / Bads of anyone that knows of them
But if you can, get the Eufy cabled version because the only thing I dont like about this compared to my C22 EUFY is it doesn’t record non stop, only to motion which sometimes doesnt record long enough or catch it early enough
They are good and this is the lowest they go, usually £119 on Amazon
Did anyone fit a solar charging panel to it?
