I bought this earlier to replace a Wyze pan and tilt. The picture is better but the 15fps compared to Wyze's 20fps in night vision makes the 2k eufy only have a slight difference in low light video. There is noticeable ghosting in low light when people are moving in the Eufy.
But I think the biggest thing I wasnt expecting from the Eufy cams is the encrypted sd card. On the wyze, I could just pop out the sd card and copy the videos onto my pc. On the Eufy, it is not allowed. You have to download the videos from your phone and then connect the phone to your pc. You can only download the captured videos too and only in the increments that are recorded if the camera picks up the movements - even in continuous recording mode. Very time consuming and cumbersome. FYI.

So you can move the camera. Yes, it can be done remotely from the Eufy app.
I'm trying to figure out why I'd need this indoors. I don't have pets. I would be looking for a baby camera eventually but other than monitoring your front door or back door from the inside of the house (which you should already have cameras on the outside) not sure about a use cases

That seems wild... So it cannot be used to manually record and dump data from the SD card? Can the encryption be turned off? Can these be utilized with ip cam software like blue iris?

My Eufy 2k cams can connect via RTSP to external NAS stuff. I have not tried pulling down video from the SD card, but it makes sense from a privacy perspective in case someone snatches the SD, they can't see the data on it. Only you can.

I have currently 2 pan n tilt and one baby monitor and they work well with Homekit. Works remotely as well.
