AndrewBoening:

 

I've been using a couple of Eufy S330s for just over a year now with the Homebase.

 

Positives: Great resolution, solar panels on top of them are fantastic if you get sunlight on them (one I've never had to charge, the other is in a more covered spot so opted for external solar), person detection (once added to app) seems to be pretty reliable

 

Cons: Struggle with the geofencing as well and keep getting notifications from outside geofenced zone. Had one camera where night vision stopped working, but reboot fixed. Capture time is limited and others vendors allow 'pre capture' which can be important if you need early detection

 

I will be looking at probably changing to Reolink cameras due to a couple of features that I would like: Local RSTP feeds that I can bring up on TV, completely local system (Eufy has to send video to their servers and decode for you to view footage), and am also looking to integrate into Home Assistant as well. I don't regret my purchase, but wish I had have done a bit more research before purchasing

 

 

The HA integration as well as the local RSTP was a big selling point for me, I am looking at that system now too.

 

Like the look of their PTZ with 16x optical zoom on it, should be easily able to track everything at the end of the driveway all the way up to the carport

If you are going POE I'd be going to something like a Reolink kit rather than Eufy. 

 

If you are going for battery cameras Eufy are great.

 

 

Going Reolink now, it has HA integrations, supports 3rd party cameras and I can get an NVR + 1 Camera as a starter before I shell out for the 4k PTZ with 16x zoom

 

The RSTP streaming to the TV was also a selling point.

 

Thanks for Andrew Boening for listing that info.
