Simultaneous live cam viewing is one key feature missing in Eufy App that is there in Wyze.
Wyze offers 2FA, eufy is yet to deliver on this a year into user complaints. Security concerns abound too with eufy's app and homebase hitting Facebook, google, etc and there's no way to block it that I know of. The latest is how the web GUI streams all your cameras regardless you turn them off from the app.
Last is a biggie. There was some recent server outages that rendered all my cameras useless. Initially they excused it as a server update but after the second one they said they started migration to AWS to meet the increasing demand.
Never happened with Wyze or Arlo and it was perplexing to me how Eufy actually thought they could handle this in-house. Based on their business practice releasing some crazy amount of products each year, lack of security, and shady connections I'd say they're bound for a breach soon.
In short Wyze and even Arlo seems to stand by its products and enforce security. Eufy seems to not care about security and its yet to prove they're not just out for sales and later implement planned obsolescence.
I spoke to Eufy on the phone and on live chat on the internet and when asked if an outage would happen - can my cameras still 100% work and I have total access to my recordings and they said yes, as they have NOTHING to do with the system once it is sold. I then asked about the outages we have all experienced and read examples people have posted on here and the Eufy community pages....and their reply was that they know NOTHING of any problems and that their can not be any problems. I was then told to email my concerns in.
The cameras are marketed around privacy and local storage, which are the primary differentiator from competitors like Ring. While it makes sense that certain features would require cloud servers, it doesn't make sense that the product fails almost entirely when those servers go down.

Homekit integration works, but it takes it down to 1080P.
