Enhance Home Security with eufy Security Indoor Cam C120 | 2K Wi-Fi IP Camera | Night Vision | Two-Way Audio | Voice Assistant Compatible | HomeBase 3 Compatible

Works with Apple HomeKit. No pan tilt function.
Price is too high here. Excellent service from seller. Called to find if I am satisfied with the product.

NOTE: I have been using WyzeCams for almost 2 years now, so my review will be heavily revolving around that comparison.

I was looking to upgrade due to the fact that Wyze – against numerous customer requests – has zero intentions of making their cameras compatible with Apple HomeKit. Also, I was over dealing with all the little quirks that came with using WyzeCams (random disconnections, tiny bugs with every firmware update etc.), I don’t need special face detection or pet detection features – for my usage all really I need is streaming video and motion notifications. After looking into what my options were I decided to try the Eufy 2k Indoor Camera since it is HomeKit compatible.

The 2K camera is made of plastic, but it has a better finish to it compared to other cameras, with a simple, understated but nice looking modern design. Installing the 2k camera is like most others; inside the package you get the camera, a micro USB cables and a standard USB AC power supply. Installation hardware is included, and I like how the camera features a detachable base plate that makes positioning the camera much easier if it’s being wall-mounted. After installing the camera, I downloaded the Eufy security app from the App Store and fired it up.

First of all, pairing the 2k camera within the Eufy app literally took seconds to do, and I was up and running in no time. Second (and more importantly) I could see that the Eufy’s 2k video quality was much, much clearer than WyzeCams lower-quality HD video. The “live view” video streaming on the 2k was crisp, smooth and never choppy (something that anyone who has used Wyzecams will tell you does happen regularly). Response was quick as well, whenever I went into the camera view it connected with no problem. I have the 2k camera in the exact same location as a WyzeCam that would on occasion take 5-10 seconds to connect to. Speaking of the Eufy app, it has a similar layout when compared to the Wyze app so learning my way around didn’t take much time to get used to. I did notice though that when compared to the Wyze app interface, the Eufy app felt much more polished and complete.

The best features though for me so far are related to Apple’s HomeKit and the Home app. Before, I had to open the Home app to check the status or control any of my smart home products (lights, fans, etc.) and then open the Wyze app separately to check all the Wyze cameras. Because the Eufy 2k Indoor camera is HomeKit compatible, I could now see the camera’s live feed directly from the Home app! Also, because the Eufy 2k works with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video, I know all of my video footage is more secure and stored privately. Honestly, I didn’t realize how much of an issue having to open multiple apps was until I had the means to view and control everything within one central app on my phone, and HomeKit compatibility makes this possible.

So if you’re looking for a HomeKit compatible camera that has excellent features, excellent video quality, and effortless setup, the Eufy 2k indoor camera is an awesome choice. Granted, I am still not through trying out all the other features this camera has (person or pet detection, etc.) but as of this writing, I am already a happy customer. I actually went and ordered a second Eufy 2k Indoor camera to replace my other WyzeCam V2, and I’m already planning on buying their 2K Indoor Cam Pan & Tilt cameras to possibly replace my WyzeCam Pans. As much as I liked the low cost and decent features that Wyze cameras gave me, upgrading to the Eufy 2k cameras was an eye-opening experience and a great choice after all. They are only marginally more expensive than Wyzecams but well worth the price!

After I had returned two different indoor security cameras for different reasons, I decided to give this Eufy Camera a try. I read some of the bad reviews after my purchase, and must say I don’t really have any negatives on this camera. Although upon setting this camera up, there was one hiccup in which I wasn’t able to verify my email in order to login to the app. However the Anker customer service was pretty good and they were able to manually send me an email in order for me to register and get logged into the Eufy Security App. It was a cinch to setup the camera through the App which takes about 5 minutes…I placed this camera on an indoor window ledge so it faces an outside main door to the house so I can keep an eye on packages being delivered and to see who’s at the front door. The camera catches all motions even behind the window and doesn’t miss!…The picture quality is great even without using the night vision…The App is so simple to use and has good features. One feature I like is that you can set detection preferences to human only, pet only and also all other motions. And you have the option to pickup sounds or not, as well a option to capture the sound of a baby crying. Once you get an alert, you can see the videos pretty quickly without much lag. I’m just glad that you do not need a subscription for this and that is why I purchased this camera! I’d like to buy another security camera to watch the inside of the house, and may buy another. And as always, Amazon shipped this quickly and in perfect condition…I recommend this for anyone who needs an a low cost indoor security camera.

This review is for the Eufy 2K indoor cam used with iOS app. I have this camera mounted in a sheltered location outdoors at my front door (accepting that this may void any warranty) . The camera comes compactly and attractively packaged. Include instructions are limited to set up and mounting but a link in the app provides help on the interface and settings. Take care mounting the attachment plate because the stand movement is somewhat limited. The app is very good and well designed and can be portrait or landscape. 2K resolution is excellent both live and playback. I used a Kingston 128GB class 10 flash card which is formatted by the camera for encryption. My first 24hrs of recording in 2K has used about 7GB so expect over two weeks of storage. If the camera is shared with another party it must be done by invitation and the sharee must set up their own user name/password. If a user name is used on an iOS device which is not already using that user name a nag will pop up each time the app is opened by the original user. Fingerprint id can be used for logon. Detection settings are any combination of person, pet or motion. Recognition is done onboard the camera so notifications are fast and can include a thumbnail. The detection zone is set using six points therefore can be any shape. Multiple detection zones are permitted.
The camera is Apple HomeKit compatible but with HomeKit there are advantages and disadvantages. First the cons; only supports 1080P to stream in Home or native app, onboard AI, sound detection and pet command are disabled, Home app will not access SD card. Home will not record to iCloud 24/7 only clips triggered by motion are recorded. Custom detection area is not possible. For one camera a 200GB iCloud subscription is required, for up to the maximum of 5 cameras a 2TB subscription so $3.99 or $12.99 per month plus tax. Now the pros; Apple post processing AI may be better depending on needs. The replay timeline of clips triggered by motion show icons for person and pet detection. In iOS 14 (now in beta) known persons can be individually identified by name i.e. facial recognition with custom labels. SD card becomes unnecessary and all video is encrypted by your personal Apple device. Picture in picture keeps view on top of open apps.
Google integration is working but only streams for about five minutes to smart display.
