Review Text: Another great product from Eufy!. I must confess that up to a few weeks ago I wasn't aware that Eufy (made by Anker) smart home products were actual contenders in the smart home industry. I acquired a smart lock made by them and paired it with this outdoor camera so that I could keep an eye on my property. I am glad that I found out about this company! The camera came packaged in all recyclable materials, thanks for not using Styrofoam, Eufy! From the time I opened the package, I could tell that the product is made of high quality materials and should last a long time. Since I already had created an account and downloaded the Eufy Security app, adding the camera to my network was a breeze. The camera comes with a heavy duty mounting bracket and all the hardware necessary to install it. It took less than 15 minutes to have the camera added to the network and the app, then I had to find a suitable location. Since the camera top is mostly a solar panel that keeps the batteries charged, it is best to find a location that has plenty of light/sunshine available, don't put it under an eve or where there might be obstructions that could reduce the efficacy of the solar panel. Once I found the right location that maximized the angle of view, I set to configuring my alerts. With the app you can use the live view option with or without the auxiliary light on and you can even speak to a person in the camera view, albeit there is a bit of lag from when you press the microphone button and start speaking to when the person on the other end hears your voice. You can also check the battery level and view recorded events in the camera's internal memory. I love being able to use one app to view/control all my smart home devices, and even though the app GUI is not the most user friendly, it works OK. If you're on the fence and don't recognize the brand, don't be afraid to give them a try. I did and would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good outdoor solar powered security camera.
