Indoor Cam E30

This is a great little camera. I fitted the original one in my hallway to monitor the front door. I mounted it directly in the plaster ceiling and it looks very clean. The down side is the motor has very slight vibrations and they are amplified by the plater ceiling so while in the hall the motor that tracks a persons movements is loud and noticeable. I use the camera with HomeKit and it works great the person tracking is still working while you view the camera in HomeKit but if you want to manual pan or tilt the camera you need to use the eufy app. Not a big deal as tracking is the best option for me. The eufy app also allows geolocation so you can use the alarm function when you are away from home. This is specific to the eufy app and it not linked to the HomeKit geofencing. I loved the camera and decided to get another for the living room as it can monitor the patio doors. This time I pointed it using a separately purchased mounting bracket. This has greatly reduced the motor noise. you can't hear it move even in a silent room. You only hear it if you stand directly next to the camera. Perfect! The picture quality is great, even on the 1080p limit with HomeKit secure video. I use the black and white night vision in the hallway as it has no windows and it often completely dark. The night vision quality is fantastic. overall this is a great camera, I use it with HomeKit and the eufy app simultaneously, HomeKit for recording and eufy app for alarm features and it works well.

Easy to install and operate Also efficient, so far! !

A very good camera system. Download the Eufy App, power up the camera and scan the QR code on the E30 Cam from the app, press the sync button on the E30 and sets up that E30. I added a further three E30 Cam’s to the app 👍🏻. The clarity of the camera and audio received is very good. I’ve added the mini SD Card for storage of any recordings I may set up. The SD Card is a separate purchase. Each E30 is powered from the mains - plug with USB-A to USB-C (E30 Cam) which cones with the E30 Cam as well as a wall / ceiling mounting bracket. There are many features in the app providing notifications of movement / sound etc. A very good indoor security/ surveillance camera.

Good quality.

Easy to install easy to use. This security cam can be used stand alone, video captured can be saved on a standard micro memory card. Quality of image are crispy sharp, higher than other similar cameras. Bought in offer, for how much I paid it's great price, especially compared to the quality image. Drain quite a lot energy for a USB powered camera, so if you want to use it plugged to a power-bank, to run this camera for a whole day you need a quite high capacity power-bank, over 20,000 mAh. No problem if you keep plugged on the power supply provided About endurance and quality, need to use for a longer period

So a while back I decided that I’d let the Chinese spy on my mundane life and equip my entire house with their cameras. I must say that if a bunch of bureaucrats in Beijing are enjoying to watch my garden / front door / dog and in return they’re providing the excellent customer services this company provides, then I can live with this trade off. The camera is my second indoor one , after the first one decided to take a plunge from the mantle to the floor and couldn’t be saved. Eufy gave me a discount for this one and I needed to Email them the Amazon order number to get a partial refund (god knows how they do that). The camera’s quality is great. Much better than its predecessor. The AI seems on point - I have yet to receive any “false alarm” and it seems to be able to follow the dog quite well when asked to. You get the usual functions : talk (like an intercom), alarm, and the usual “pen and tilt” mode which allows you to manually move the camera. You can also set predefined positions which you can toggle between, and there is a new option to get a panoramic view. The camera is a stand alone and doesn’t need the HomeBase hub in order to work. However if you do have a Eufy HomeBase you can see the device on it. Because it’s a standalone - you do need to purchase a memory card which stores the videos. To conclude - I’m very happy with the Chinese from Eufy and the utilization of their spy craft expertise to protect my home. If my family and I are reality hero’s somewhere in Xian - it’s a price I’m willing to pay. The functionality of the one Arlo I have doesn’t match up in my opinion. And the fact that this doesn’t have any monthly fees is really important (I think Arlo and Eufy are the only companies to work with that model and still you get all the functions). The design is slick and compact and the Ai is solid. The connectivity is great but hard for me to really say otherwise as my router is on a direct line and quite close. Highly recommend this product.

Brilliant indoor camera, easily set up. The image quality is excellent and with the eufy app and Homebase the range of features is wide. As this camera does not contain an internal battery it needs a usb connection to function

Serious flaws in how recording and playback works. Once this camera is setup and turned on, and you've subscribed to eufy cloud backup, you assume all's well and you can see recent footage from cloud backup even if camera is stolen or switched off. Not So! This camera shows a useless error screen making past and recent recordings completely irretrievable and unviewable the moment the power to the camera is lost or if someone steals the camera. It completely defeats the purpose of a security camera. Ring, Arlo and others don't have any such issues - you can see what was recorded whether the camera is powered off or disconnected or stolen.
