Read our full review: Anker Eufycam 2 (opens in new tab)

It gives you complete control with no overhead cost. However, it does offer integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri.īottom line? If you want a system that doesn’t cost anything to maintain but still lets you keep a close eye on your home when you’re not there, the Eufycam 2 is great. It can identify if humans triggered a motion alert, although it can’t identify animals, vehicles, or other sources in the same way as Arlo’s home security cameras can. It also stores all of its encoded clips directly to the included BaseStation in your living room, which means you don’t have to worry about someone somewhere else in the world looking at footage from your property. In fact, it’s double the battery life of top-of-the-range cameras from Arlo and Ring, which is handy considering the battery isn’t swappable so the camera will be out of action when it needs recharging. The claimed 365-day battery life is the longest of any home security camera we’ve tested. While it doesn’t offer the highest recording resolution (you'll need the Euf圜am 2 Pro (opens in new tab) for 2k video), and there’s no color footage at night, for the majority of people this home security camera hits the sweet spot between price and features. In the very crowded world of home security cameras, the Anker Eufycam 2 is a solid mid-range option at an affordable price.
