Two of my units have an issue where the night mode keeps clicking on and off, even in an extremely dark swing. And nothing is near the camera.
Had the same issue and what it ended up being was the camera was angled just enough that the IR lights were bouncing off the shelf or side wall causing it to see "light" constantly. I adjusted it away from the wall and shelf and it hasn't had an issue since.

I initially thought it was that too but it even occurred with nothing nearby to reflect off of. Eufy sent a replacement the first time it occurred. After it happened with the replacement, I didn't pursue it any further. I just turn off the auto night vision for a few hours and it seems to correct itself.

I just got this a week ago using a $8 off coupon. Even though it's only a $5 difference, Amazon will likely not price adjust this, right? (especially since it's a coupon that was applied).

It's a good camera. I got one pointed at the walkout basement. It get even the few seconds pre-recording which is nice.
Overall the camera works well, but sometimes it will get stuck and when I try to view the camera, it's offline. I have it connected to a smart plug and about 60% of the time, power cycling the plug is sufficient to reboot the camera and make it work again. The remaining 40% of the time I have to physically remove the power plug from the back of the camera, wait 5 seconds, then reconnect power.
Maybe I got a defective camera. This issue started appearing about 2 months after the return window elapsed. Not sure if it is worth the effort to try to submit a claim via eufy.
Hate to be the downer but eufy/Anker are in hot water right now for their doorbell camera violating privacy rights. It was discovered they were uploading pictures without users consent and they even stated that the cameras had NO cloud features whatsoever. This looks to be a good deal, but people here should know before they buy even if it was a different product.
