I think it's worth it to pay $6 more for the pan and tilt. It follows detected motion.

It's ok, but I've seen cheaper on Amazon, I picked up two of them for abut $29.xx (each) late last year. Not sure what FSSS stands for.

FWIW, I had two WyzeCams v2 and their internet connectivity was much more reliable/better than with the EufyCam which is disappointing. I'm looking for two more cams, I'll either get two more of the Eufys if the price is right, or wait for the WyseCam v3 to be available on Amazon and get 2 of them.

I have both (Wyze v3 and Eufy Pan-and-Tilt) and -- personal opinion only -- I like the Wyze v3 so much better.

I only pre-ordered three of them, but wish I'd done 5, 10, or even 12. Lol

Edit: Oh, yeah; FSSS stands for 'Free Super-Saver Shipping'. It always trips me up, too.

Good to know re Wyze vs Eufy. I had preordered 2 of the v3 the first day (Oct 27? when they promised shipping in November), but gave up waiting after weeks and weeks after I saw people posting they had received theirs. Hope the v3 will make it to Amazon sooner than later.

The higher resolution on the Eufy is nice though.

Thanks for FSSS .. I wondered if that was some sort of Free Shipping code, just could get words for all of the Ss there

Hi all, I bought this from the last sale. I do get motion alerts however no video. Does it store the videos in the cloud? I see that cloud is not free. Do I need to put in Sd card? I thought It works like wyze where you can the videos of alerts.

These Eufy indoor cameras have a micro sd card slot so you can use local storage to save video footage. They also offer an optional cloud subscription service. All the features and functions are the same whether you choose to subscribe or not subscribe to their cloud service. There are no missing functionalities if you don't subscribe other than cloud storage.

So without sd card and paid cloud subscription how do I view motion alerts?

You can only view live streams thru the Eufy app...no recordings.

the part that i particular love about wyze v3 is the part when it only records 12 seconds of someone walking to your hose, then it stops recording for 5 min. just enough time for that person to break into your house and take stuff out.

i also like the part about wyze that require you to pay monthly subscription fee for things that are free on eufy, you know, the basic things i expect to get from a camera in 2021 . . . things like: my camera able to detect people, faces, pets, vehicles . . .

as one reviewer perfectly stated [youtu.be], "if all you need a pet-cam to watch you dog get wyze, if you want a camera to watch your front door or very important area go with eufy".

Thanks for the clarification coming from wyze that's a big turn off.

How about the Wyze 5 minute cool off period and the fact you have to subscribe to get the AI functionality? Lots of folks who dumped their Wyze for the Eufy thought that those were big turn offs.

Everything will have pros and cons.
