Pros and cons

Pros

  • Contract term: 0 months, so nothing forces a long commitment, and the on-device storage, detection and playback come at no monthly charge.
  • One brand across camera, video doorbell and smart lock, with battery, solar and wired options for powering each unit.
  • Cloud storage is optional at $3.99 a month, and local recordings are kept 90 to 365 days.
  • Self-install throughout: installation required is no, so cameras, doorbells and locks go up without a technician.
  • Robot vacuum suction of 30,000 Pa clears the site upper quartile of 22,500 Pa, with Lidar: yes and Matter: yes on the same line.

Cons

  • Bundle price $199 compares poorly with $13.95 at The Home Security Superstore and $19.99 at Annke.
  • Professional monitoring costs $4.99 to $9.99 a month, and the monitoring price position is 39 of 51.
  • Price rank sits at 62 of 70, so eufy is not the cheap option in this group.
  • Entry robot vacuums cost $169.99 while the flagship costs $1,599.99, so a second appliance is a large extra outlay.

Who it suits

  • Homeowners who want one brand across cameras, video doorbells, smart locks and alarms: camera, video doorbell and smart lock.
  • Renters and flat owners who will not sign a contract, since the term is 0 months.
  • People who want footage kept on their own hardware: local storage is yes, with retention of 90 to 365 days.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers chasing the lowest entry price on cameras: The Home Security Superstore lists cameras at $13.95 against the eufy bundle at $199.
  • Buyers who would rather start at Annke's $19.99 entry point than pay bundle pricing.
  • Readers set on Aqara's camera entry point of £36.98 and its own support setup.

How it compares on our data

Contract length is the standout: eufy ranks 1 of 60 brands on that measure. Monitoring price sits at 39 of 51, and the hardware price rank is 62 of 70. In short, no contract and cheap optional extras, but not the cheapest hardware.

Core features

The catalogue spans camera, video doorbell and smart lock, so one account can cover the front door, the locks and the alarm as well as indoor cameras. Professional monitoring: yes. Local storage: yes. End-to-end encryption: yes. Two factor: yes. Installation required: no, which keeps setup to a self-install job. Recorded video is held for 90 to 365 days on local storage.

Plans and prices

The bundle shown is $199, a one-off hardware outlay with a contract term of 0 months. Recurring costs are optional and separate: cloud storage runs $3.99 a month and professional monitoring runs $4.99 to $9.99 a month. Neither is folded into the hardware price, and the base feature set carries no monthly fee.

The company behind it

eufy is sold by Fantasia Trading LLC, founded in 2011. Support runs on email, phone and chat, so help is available by phone, chat, email, a help centre and a community board rather than by post alone. That spread of channels matters for a brand whose cameras, locks and alarms all sit on the same account.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay a monthly fee to use the cameras?+

No. The free feature set keeps storage, detection and face recognition on the device itself, adds tracking across cameras and self-learning, and gives instant alerts with playback at no monthly charge. Cloud storage is optional at $3.99 a month, and the contract term is 0 months.

Is there a minimum contract to sign up for?+

The contract term is 0 months, so there is nothing to serve and nothing to cancel early. That puts eufy at 1 of 60 brands on contract length, ahead of brands that lock customers into a minimum period.

What does professional monitoring cost?+

Professional monitoring is available, and the monthly cost runs $4.99 to $9.99. It sits outside the hardware price, so the local feature set keeps working for anyone who would rather not pay a monitoring fee.

How sharp is the video, and how long is it kept?+

The bundle shown reaches 4k, and clips stored on the hardware are kept for 90 to 365 days. Local storage: yes, so footage stays on your own equipment instead of depending on the cloud plan at $3.99 a month.

Do I need an installer, and does it fit my smart home?+

Installation required is no, so cameras, video doorbells and locks go up without a technician. The range sits in alexa, google and homekit, and powering options cover battery, solar and wired, which lets a camera run on battery, solar, wired supply or power over ethernet.

Which countries is eufy sold in?+

eufy lists US, CA and GB as its markets, so support and warranty terms vary by country. Help itself runs on email, phone and chat, which covers phone, chat, email, a help centre and a community board.

How is the account and the stored video protected?+

End-to-end encryption: yes, and two factor: yes, so the account and the stored video both carry extra protection. The brand is sold by Fantasia Trading LLC, founded in 2011, with a 30 days return window and a 1 year warranty.

Does it make robot vacuums too?+

Yes, the brand makes robot vacuums as well as security kit, sold from $169.99 for the entry model up to $1,599.99 for the flagship. A spare parts shop is listed, so consumables for the machines are available separately.

What can the robot vacuums do?+

Suction reaches 30,000 Pa, above the site upper quartile of 22,500 Pa. Lidar: yes, Matter: yes, self empty dock: yes, works offline: yes, a roller mop that lifts 12 mm, and a spare parts shop for replacements.
