Know About EufyCam E Wireless Security System
EufyCam E installation
The installation of the system is very simple, everything is done by the application Eufy Security. The first time it is necessary to begin by adding the central unit which asked to carry out its update, then the cameras one by one.
Eufy had the good idea to include two different brackets (screwed to the wall) with each surveillance camera: a screw-in bracket at the back of the camera and a magnetic holder that makes it easy to change the positioning of the camera.
Indeed, the rear face of each camera is equipped with a powerful magnet to fix it on its magnetic support or any other metal support.
Once you have configured everything as you wish, you can change the camera settings via the Eufy Security application. You can choose from several recording modes, each of which has an influence on the battery life, the default option makes a recording of 20 seconds and a reduced detection period.
If you are ready to recharge the batteries more often, there is an optimal monitoring mode that records sequences of 60 seconds. Then you have a custom mode that allows you to manually adjust the length of the video and the frequency of the trigger, this can go up to 120 seconds of recording in intervals of 0 to 60 seconds.
With motion detection, you only have the sensitivity that can be changed, there is no monitoring by zone. On the other hand each camera is equipped with a microphone and a loudspeaker, which allows you to speak with a person returning to your home or your property or to trigger the alarm.
NAS compatibility
An option that will interest the owner of the server, the security system EufyCam E is compatible with the registration on your NAS via RTSP. Synology, for example, supports this feature using the RTSP protocol. So you can manage your CCTV cameras using software such as Blue Iris.
Performances
The performance of this monitoring system is excellent. Motion detection is very effective and does not generate false positives because of a tree branch that moves with the wind for example.
In addition night vision mode works perfectly and is sensitive enough to detect the passage of a cat nearby, which is reassuring because the presence of an intruder will be detected.
If the quality of the video is good both during the day and evening, it is a little less at night, which does not prevent cameras from correctly detecting any movement.
Verdict
The EufyCam E surveillance system impressed me with its efficiency and camera performance except night video which can be improved. The system is very simple to set up even for people with little knowledge of computer and alarm system installation.
The wireless security system EufyCam E is a product that I strongly recommend, especially since once you have purchased the pack, you do not have a subscription to subscribe because the central can record directly videos on micro SD card.
Overall, this is one of the best security systems I’ve used and one of the most attractive given the value for money/benefits that the security system Eufy brings. The EufyCam E security system is currently available for € 319.99 (instead of$ 399.99).
