TU on price, though used is always a concern. (top condition used = returned (typically), then why? Am I buying the hassle others have already had with this unit?)
UPDATE
Unit I received appears to be either an open box or return. Items inside were handled, but:
Nothing missing, all parts in original packing
Cosmetics good, no scratches, scuffs or marks
No smudges on anything, lens perfectly clean
Everything worked with the app, no obvious defects
It was puzzling to find unit is the older hardware version, 1.6, rather than the newer 2.6. If it had been in service for a year then failed, no way would it be in a tidy box as received. Suggests a reman substitution, not simply "Used," per the listing.
Anyways, functionally equal to new AFAICT and good price so happy for now.
Never buy this shit on Amazon. I always buy my eufy stuff on eBay in refurbished condition with two year warranty from Allstate (included in the same or lower price than Amazon)

I agree on price, but I'm guessing that
1) it requires an AC power source somewhere close by. Not many (including myself) have AC outlets under their eves or easy access to run power to all of those eves.
2) It uses a 9v ac adapter (needing the AC outlet close by.
3) No POE even though it can be connected directly to your network via patch cable.
4) wifi is only 2.4 ghz. I run a mesh network and i have had problems connectng older 2.4 ghz items to my old Orbi network. My new TP mesh seems to be a little more friendly, but I haven't had to connect a new 2.4 ghz item to it yet.
I was going to jump on these, but the AC issue is a big one. I have a few of the newer 2k and 4k exterior cameras that are charged by a usb adapter or by the solar panel and they have a built in battery that does last a very long time in low trigger areas. They work well and I have been sticking with these units that use an onboard SD card for storage so I am not locked into some sort of service contract to view my videos.

I was hoping for PoE myself, but really it's hard to beat when Wyze cameras aren't much cheaper. I'm going to get one to tinker with at least.

Wonder if you could use something like this to get power to it if you use ethernet? https://a.co/d/eP3yiB3

Who the heck uses 9 volts. It would be much more universal to just use the standard 12v barrel plug.
But it is 2.4ghz so that's like 2,400,000,000 Hz's for connectin'
some of their other cameras have a promotion too. got this and an indoor/outdoor 2k cam for $13. curious to try these after moving away from GeeniIf i am setting up on 2.4GHZ should i make sure my phone is always on my 2.4ghz wifi instead of 5.0.... does it make controlling it any easier?
Where do you see the 2k?
Per your question. Doesn't matter as much of your network on 2.4ghz isn't saturated and you're not running a 24/7 rtsp or continuous record over to a hub.If you decide to do continuous or something cloud base, there probably should be some consideration.

I just bought the 1080p cameras for a similar price recently. I used a 12v adapter at the plug, then ran low-voltage wires to the cameras in the soffit/eave outside and used a 12v-5v (mine used 5v rather than 9v) converter near the camera, then finally the 5v to the camera. Worked great and I had some pretty long runs.
Total cost was maybe $20 not including wire (used old speaker wire I had laying around). Bought random cheap crap from amazon to do the converting/wiring but would be happy to link to stuff if people were buying this and needed some help on the wiring
