This isnt really a deal. Tapo C320WS with starlight sensor is the way to go. If that hits $29, I'll buy 4 more. These cameras are 100x better than my google nest cams I am currently replacing.

The 320WS is also ONVIF capable, so you can use Blue Iris to record directly from the camera to your Blue Iris PC 24/7 which is obviously a better way to handle things if you want total control and better security. A bit of a pain to config but it does work. What I don't like about these devices is you need the internet to record, even if recording locally to Blue Iris. Basically becomes a point of failure and a security issue if you have an internet outage. Add in they include ethernet without supporting POE, which is just mind-numbingly stupid imo.

For the price you really can't go wrong, but there are limitations and while certainly better than nothing, if you want to secure your home in a more meaningful way, then going with better, POE based cameras that do not require internet to work (and are not acting as Chinese spyware all the time as such imo) is a better way to go (to say nothing of the privacy concerns). Of course they also cost a lot more in general.

My 2 cents.

It does not support POE, it needs the power adapter, which luckily is pretty long, I think about 6 feet.
At least 12 feet. Very nice. I don't need an extension cord.

Quote from SmilingHaddock5994 :
The big problem I encountered when I use Wyze, is that it's very very hard to replay, I mean, very hard to search/review on a recorded video. It's time resolution is so useless that you are very easy to skip the images you wanted to know when you are reviewing.
If you're referring to the View Playback feature, it's not obvious but you can pinch to zoom on the timeline to change the time resolution. Between that function and them showing the time stamp while I slide my finger across the timeline, I've found it a bit easier than my Nest cameras for pinpointing an exact time. But my Nest cams also handle zooming through hours of footage way easier with the Timelapse-style scrubbing feature (at significant cost more).

I have this and not sure why but the range is horrible maybe because I didn't do the setup in the final location. Just one experience. It would send alerts and record but never had the signal strength to play it back or show the cam live… also I'm pretty sure it still doesn't work with KASA for those who have that.

Cost wise its the same for storage for all cameras compared to nest. About 12 bucks a month. The software is faster for me using tapo and less buggy and I get all notifications. Cloud storage for Tapo will only record and store events. Unlike Nest, which records and stores 24/7. In order to view 24/7 recording, you need to add a micro sd to your tapo camera. The cloud storage for tapo hasnt let me down yet. I like the interface better as well. No complaints.
Iwould like better cameras but the cost for the cloud service sounds more expensive than Google. If I remember correctly it's $60 a year prepaid for 5 days of recording for almost unlimited cameras. Let me know if I'm wrong.

If you have ability to run ethernet cable to the camera location, it's almost always better to get POE IP cameras. Some of those come with local storage (~256gb memory card) and all you need is a POE switch.

True... but doesn't seem be an option in many cases. I actually set one up using a powerline adaptor and it worked pretty well.

Have a few Eufy around, is it worth it to try this out?
I can't speak of this product, but considering you have Eufy you want to switch to something else. This past December it came out that they are not secure at all. Do a quick Google to get the full story.

Does this have software for continuous viewing on your computer?

And can you take the card out to view on your computer?

Currently using Yi that does both of that, and haven't found any 2K cameras that can do that.
I have the starlight version of this(which is excellent, as others have mentioned) and it supports RTSP, so I use iSpy to view it. So, assuming C310 has the same features as C320WS - yes, you can continuously view it on a computer using any software that supports RTSP streaming.

Is the "starlight sensor" some type of a low light sensor, or is it just added LED lighting, like those motion sensing floodlights??

I had 6 cameras with nest. 24/7 recording for all cameras is running me 15 bucks a month. Not sure what the cost breakdown if I paid a year full. That's for 10 days of storage history. With Tapo I pay 30 days of cloud storage for up to 10 cameras for 12 bucks.

Basically a low light sensor that improves the video dramatically.
