eufy Security Outdoor Cam Pro 2K is a wired 2K Wi-Fi surveillance camera that is completely free of the bounds of an external system hub- instead storing all the information locally in the 32gb SD card that comes with it. Check your high-quality, encrypted, 2K footage whenever you need to via the eufy Security app and only be alerted of the things that matter with AI Human and Pet detection. Outdoor Cam Pro is not compatible with eufy HomeBase. The USB adapter is not waterproof, a cover is required for outdoor use.
Solid outdoor security camera.

Great video quality, the spotlight is handy but not particularly strong. Night vision using IR is out of this world great though, picking things up clearly 75 feet away from my home.
The only major drawback is the AC adapter for these are large. You'll want either Apple cubes (which comfortably run these) or outlets with USB connections in them which will need to be in weatherproof covered boxes). Otherwise, these are great.
For those that know of other Eufy security products and decided against them because of a single point of failure, this camera does not require a HomeBase device. It connects directly to your WiFi.
For the tech-savvy - these can record to an internal SD card, the cloud, or to an RTSP-supporting NVR/DVR system, so you have options on how these work.

Awesome shows and a terrific price, considering that it streams in Dolby Vision 4k with Dolby Atmos audio. There isn't as much content as the big names in streaming, and there likely never will be, but the homegrown content is all amazing.
If you have an Apple device and Apple Music, you might as well roll this into an Apple One subscription as it's a better value. Still, $5 a month for this is a good deal and it works on most Amazon, Roku, and Android TV devices along with most LG and Samsung TVs since 2016.

It's nice to have access to additional content, but if you're going to subscribe to Apple News and you already have Apple Music and Apple TV+, just get the Apple One Premium subscription instead so you get 2TB of shared iCloud (within your Apple Family account), Apple Fitness, Apple Arcade, and both Music and TV get rolled in as well.

Honestly, after using Tidal, Amazon, and Spotify, I find Apple Music to just get me better in the playlist department. The music between all the major services is exactly the same but it's the extras - the "radio" stations, Beats 1, and the AI helping you find new music - that makes the difference for me.
Note that I was already a subscriber. BTW, if you're going to get Apple Music and you already have an Apple device, just skip this and get Apple One instead.

Note that this mousepad is HUUUUUGE. You should really measure your desk before you get it because it will take up a lot of space. If you have the space for it, it's great because it's a good place to keep your keyboard and mouse. But it's the space that's the issue.
Corsair's Cue lighting system is also really neat with this, especially if you have a matching keyboard, mouse, and case lighting.

Great way to play games without actually paying for them. This gives you access to some classics and a ton of modern titles, along with EA Play and all the titles you have access to over there (classics, modern stuff, and Sims 3&4).
If you also have an Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S console, spend a little more and get Game Pass Ultimate with cloud gaming on console, PC, and your phone.

Not the best monitor on the market but definitely a good option if you can find it on sale. The picture is crystal clear, the response time is fairly decent with little blur for an LCD, and it can be very bright. FreeSync is a nice added feature and allows for my kid's computer to play most things thrown at it with no screen tearing.

Terrific audio quality for the price when you can catch them on sale, otherwise they're a little pricy for what they are. Noise cancelling does work, but it's not at the same level as the more expensive and larger Sony WH1000-XM4s, making these a good choice for noise cancelling on a budget.
Two really nice things about these headphones are for the physical connectivity - they use USB-C for charging and they come with an analog cable for connecting to things with a headphone jack, like an iPad, older smart phone, portable CD player, computer system, and so on.
Do I recommend these? When you see them on sale, yes.

Terrific upgrade if you're still using a mechanical hard drive. PNY doesn't supply cloning software for this particular drive - most of the SSDs they make for that matter - but Google can find you a free solution in that department.
How much faster can a SSD make your computer? The laptop I upgraded is an AMD A6-7400 with 4GB of DDR4 RAM. The SSD alone improved boot times from about 5 minutes to desktop to about 45 seconds; I did upgrade the RAM, which took it down to about 20 seconds. If you have a computer made in the last 4-5 years and you want to get some more life out of it, this is the upgrade for you.

Can you record to a home NAS (QNAP) instead of the SD card or other cloud storage.
Yes. Eufy stand-alone camera products that don’t require a Homebase, such as this camera, are compatible to network video recorders supporting RTSP.

Was wondering if this can be tied into my existing Guardian security app. Is it z-wave compatible?

Can it connect to a homebase to use with Homekit? Or can it connect to HomeKit without a base like the indoor 2k camera does?
No and no. Eufy stand-alone wifi cameras use the app but mot the HomeBase, and most are not compatible with HomeKit Secure Video so you’d have to use the app to watch footage recorded directly on the camera, or a RTSP-compatible NVR.

What is the motion range for this camera? I am looking for a camera that the motion activation is about 80-100 feet.
It’s dependent on the environment you place it in and what’s, but I would say at full sensitivity, it picks up on motion up to 75’ out by itself.
Now if you want to use the camera with a NVR/DVR with its own motion detection capabilities, these cameras support RTSP.
Either way, the night vision range is upward of 100 feet.

Plan to put this inside behind window. Will the window glass interfere with the spotlight? And when is this spotlight used (I don’t think I would need it… maybe opt to not turn on?)
Not only will the glass interfere with the spotlight, it’ll interfere with the night vision IR LEDs too. This camera is designed to be placed outside, you just need to make sure there’s a covered power outlet close to it.

It can, and I believe up to six different accounts including your own. Of course, I just use the same login with my wife and kid.

eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro provides 360° pan and tilt camera coverage in 2K HD resolution. It boasts smart lighting, real time communication via 2-way audio, all with zero monthly fees. You don't even need a eufy Security HomeBase. This eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro is compatible with most smart devices and can be easily controlled through the eufy Security App. The floodlight can be installed either on the wall or on the ceiling. (Existing outdoor wiring and weatherproof junction box required.)
Are the light panels replaceable ? By far the only reason why I have not bought anyFlood lights from Them is because the fluid lights only last about 5 years is the expectancyIf you can't replace the lights then all you have left is a camera...
The direction Eufy, along with every other company that manufactures a similar product to this, has taken is not to use user-replaceable LED modules, be it panels like this or more traditionally-shaped lights like others. While this isn't necessarily a great thing, it's also not a bad thing as you'll likely want to upgrade the unit in a few years as higher-resolution cameras or smarter AI capabilities become available.
If this is a deal-breaker for you, you'll want to get a floodlight and a separate outdoor camera. To match the functionality of the Eufy Floodlight Cam Pro 2, you'll need a camera with pan and tilt capabilities. To match the Floodlight Cam 2k, you'll only need a fixed camera like the Eufy Outdoor Cam Pro, which uses a wired power source, or the Eufy EufyCam 2 or EufyCam 2C, which are both battery-operated.

i have vinyl siding. can this be used to mount the Eufy battery doorbell?
As long as you can securely screw this into your house, yes. I’d recommend a visit to your local hardware store to find wall anchors that stand off of whatever’s behind the siding.
