Read our full review: Eufy SoloCam E40 (opens in new tab) Those compromises aside, it’s great value for money. However, the battery is built-in so when it needs recharging, the camera will be out of action. However, the battery life isn’t as long as with the Euf圜am 2 (above) although at around four months, it’s comparable to cameras from rival brands such as Arlo and Ring. The video it records is detailed, with a resolution of 2K, although while this is in color during the day, it’s only in black and white at night, as the camera lacks any form of spotlight that can illumuniate the video.
It has 8GB of memory built-in to the camera itself where videos are stored - Eufy says this equates to about a month’s worth of footage, based on 30 detections a day, with each video lasting for 10 seconds. However, if you’re after a home security camera with the local storage, the Eufy SoloCam E40 is the best on the market in our eyes right now. Many of the best home security cameras of the market require an on-going cost in the form of a subscription to a cloud storage service, where video clips can be stored and reviewed at a later date.

However, it does offer integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri.īottom line? If you want a system that doesn’t cost anything to maintain but still lets you keep a close eye on your home when you’re not there, the Eufycam 2 is great. It can identify if humans triggered a motion alert, although it can’t identify animals, vehicles, or other sources in the same way as Arlo’s home security cameras can. It also stores all of its encoded clips directly to the included BaseStation in your living room, which means you don’t have to worry about someone somewhere else in the world looking at footage from your property. In fact, it’s double the battery life of top-of-the-range cameras from Arlo and Ring, which is handy considering the battery isn’t swappable so the camera will be out of action when it needs recharging. The claimed 365-day battery life is the longest of any home security camera we’ve tested.

While it doesn’t offer the highest recording resolution (you'll need the Euf圜am 2 Pro (opens in new tab) for 2k video), and there’s no color footage at night, for the majority of people this home security camera hits the sweet spot between price and features. In the very crowded world of home security cameras, the Anker Eufycam 2 is a solid mid-range option at an affordable price. Unfortunately, the online option is tied to a monthly subscription, which usually costs around $3 / £2.50 / AU$4 per month or more. With some smart security cameras, this footage is stored on a MicroSD card at no extra cost, however, in most cases, it's stored securely online. The camera will also store the footage so, if you miss the alert as it happens, you can review the video at a later date. Whichever kind you pick, home security cameras work in the same way as video doorbells and will send an alert to your smartphone if motion is detected. Inside-only models typically run off mains power while outdoors models are typically battery operated – but mains powered models are also an option. The best wireless security cameras are available in two types indoor-only models and more rugged weatherproof designs that can be used outside or inside. You can it all yourself, and best of all you won't have to cover your home with cables. While these home security cameras are similar to traditional CCTV systems they offer some major benefits namely, they're cheaper and easier to install.
