This thing died on me after 3 months. Just showed a purple light, nothing else. RMA process was atrocious. I recommend against it.

This thing also requires to be connected to Eufy's server. I don't like anything that phones home in my house. You cannot disengage this even in HomeKit only mode.

I think these come down to $30 individually whenever they're on sale. I have one and it works pretty well. No complaints. Though I don't know what you'd do with 4.

I have mine in the garage but anywhere else and you'd be creepin'. The garage here in Texas gets pretty hot but it's not had an issue so far.

These are great cAms and eufy has a great reputation. No added subscription for features needed either. I trust them far more than the Amazon or Google owned cameras.

Oh come on, like all the other major brands haven't run into issues like this before.

I put on these bad boy outside of my house. It's 100+ degree in summer here. Combined with the pan and tilt cameras, I haven't have any issue with this over a year plus. The motion sensing is very reliable. Btw, you'll need microSD card (not included) for the historical playback function. Highly recommended for a cheap and easy outdoor (just make sure it doesn't expose to the rain)

Mine are going on 2 years without issues. I did have one of their 2k pan cams crap out on me but they replaced it within 2 days.

I have 4 of these, and have run into some issues. I would still recommend them but here are my issues

1. All of my cameras, once every week or so, say that my SD card is corrupt/needs to be replaced. 3 of the SD cards are 4 months old and bought at the same time, 1 is an older card I had. Both different brands and capacities. This can normally be solved by restarting the cameras which can be done in the app.

2. Sometimes it can take awhile for the camera to load and start displaying image.

Overall I would recommend the cameras. I have them covering all entrances and exits of my house and has allowed me to record footage needed for a legal case against my neighbor.

What does the listing of "Anker Official Store via Newegg Marketplace" have to do with anything? In checking the URL, there is no mention of Anker, I company that I really do not care for

Is this Slickdeals OP doing a sales pitch for incentive and doing a sloppy job?

Or do I have this all wrong?

Eufy is an anker brand

Am I mistaken or did these go closer to $20 or $25 during Black Friday. If yes I would hope they would again during one of the big sales. Buy now or wait?
