Does this require subscription service to view history?
For example, only when you pay $30/yr on ring indoor camera can I go back to motion detected, say 5 hours ago, and see what caused that motion. So the Ring camera is useless to view happenings overnight without the plan.

No subscription required, view recordings that are straight off the micro SD card. I have a couple of eufy cams strictly because of this

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

Having the ability to pan and move the camera means I have to buy one less camera for a room. I also monitor the inside of my home when I'm not home.

The onboard AI in the Eufy cam can automatically pan and tilt to follow moving objects. Ex: a burglar breaks in but a stationary cam doesn't catch their face at its current angle and they walk off camera. This Eufy cam will pan and tilt to follow the criminal so when they do turn to the right angle, it will pick up their face.

Are there any cons to this when compared to the non pan and tilt version? I am aware of the pros but wondering if I lose out on something I'm not aware of.

I probably won't use the pan and tilt feature all there much, really just need the cam to be able to record on command and to record continuously until I tell it to stop.

Thank you. Wonder if there's a way other than switching off the camera to disable indoor cams while at home while keeping outside armed.

I use it in the basement when I'm away to pan around for pipe, boiler leaks, washing machine leaks

Why does it need to pan an tilt? Do you move it remotely?

Instead being in one fixed location and have to go back and forward climb up and down to adjust locations, you have tilt. I'd get all my camera tilt if possible. I'd imagine they got software that detect object and follow it 180degree. And yes all my indoor cameras are PTZ. The zoom are all these cameras are useless but I only care about tilt. The wide angle fixed one is nice but all the stuff is cramped and small on the screen

The app allows you to enable/disable individual cams.

This is a better buy than a nest cam.

Assuming these aren't POE. Do they have to be used with Eufy software?

Is this the normal sale price? or does it go lower than this regularly?

Does anybody know if this camera can also pair to the little portable speed you get with the baby monitor?

It works with any monitor that can access NAS/RTSP. I have it mounted to the ceiling of my front porch in Colorado and so far, no issues with it out there. The pan and tilt help track folks coming on and off the property and give a better full picture of activity as opposed to the video doorbell.

I can also see this working in the Garage as mentioned but wasnt super helpful with pet tracking indoors. It also has issues with the IR LEDs through glass and causes the focus to not work at night. One of our hopes was to have street and alley level video for our home during travel but it doesn't accomplish that from indoors.
