this will be the app portion for the eufy pan tilt 2k here we can see it's actually located
here on the bottom in my array of home devices what you see here is a snapshot of the last thing
that the camera took lower left hand corner you see a wi-fi indicator the name as well as in the
lower right hand corner you see a number with a box around it and three dots the box is actually
the clips that it has taken which actually brings you down to the events tab right here
and the clip is always going to focus on what triggered it so in this case there's a pet
and there's a little pet icon right there we'll come back and come back to our devices
because what we're going to do is press play right here and that's going to bring up the live camera
here we have our live feed of what is going on there was cat that is meandering right over there
in real time here we have our expand button so tapping this will bring it into a full screen mode
we're gonna select back to bring it back to our regular mode and there you can
see it's notifying me that there was a cat detected on screen now because this is a pan
tilt camera here we actually have controls that we can move the camera
and this goes up down left right although right now it's at its current maximum lower threshold
and it lets you know right there when that happens lower right hand corner we have an indication
of the kilobyte speed of information that's happening right here we have a record button so
if we select record it's letting you know that it will be adjusted based on the view quality
those clips will be saved in 2k however the video recording here is based on your connection speed
and then we hit stop for the recording and that will save it to our local album for this here we
have a screenshot which is a pair of scissors don't know why they chose that but that takes
a screenshot of what's going on if i press and hold my speak button right now my pets downstairs
are hearing me talk and you can see because of the waveform that you were seeing there the pan camera
has an interesting feature which is a round look or 360 where if i press this it will automatically
start spinning and because mine happens to be kind of on a pedestal by a wall you're going to see
some wall and then you'll see some other things that kind of block its view there you can see kind
of like just junk keyboard and then it spins back around although it did trigger the night vision
so that'll show you quickly the night vision automatically coming on and then we'll give it
a second because the light night vision will turn itself off just like you saw there here we have
our sound in the lower right hand corner i can mute that or turn that on if i want to hear what
is going on in the video itself here i neglected to mention that there is a up arrow so you have to
touch and drag that up in order to access the extra functionality now it is a little tricky
as you saw i did have to do it a few times in order for it to stick but from here we can access
our event log so selecting this will bring up our events and here we go here's all the events that
i have been doing while testing and then we have to come back and drag that up again and here we go
drag and hold and then it locks it into place here we have auto night vision on and off so selecting
that off the ir lights will not turn on here we have an alarm which if we tap alarm will sound
and there you can hear
that the pan tilt cam does have an alarm it will take a few seconds for the application
to send that information to the actual camera and then turn itself off moving on from the alarm we
have the tracking if we select this we can turn motion tracking on and off right from this area
rather than having to go through those extra settings area so it's just another quick way
to do things and tapping it will turn that off and last but not least over here we have the
calibration selecting this will tell the camera to calibrate itself so it rolls it back just like it
did the other location and then we'll roll it forward and re-center itself and here you can
see kind of got a little bit of my table in place there but that's because my cat as you saw before
was messing with camera so it's center point now slightly shift but those are the extra menus right
here and you gotta drag and hold to pull up one of the features of the pan tilt cam here is that well
we were on the live feed you can use a micro sd card in this camera to store video locally
and keep it off of the cloud and if you store it locally you not only get clips but you get
full video and here we are we've gone back so one of the great things that i like about ufe
and their video recording here notice that orange line well if we bring our trigger to that orange
line that's going to indicate an event and that event is going to be either a person or a pet
the blue line is just nothing has happened orange line indicates something has happened
we have our ability here right there where it says one to speed this up so we can actually speed up
our video up to 16x so that will really help make it easier to locate something you do notice
that right there there's no orange slice yet and that's because it does take a little bit for the
algorithm to figure out that that was a person in the recording and then mark it now if we pinch
and i bring this back this way you can see there's several markers here indicating that there was pet
activity so pinching allows you to and there you can see my cats kind of playing with each other
pinching allows you to shrink the timeline down so you can move much faster and then you have the
ability to jump from day to day right there this is another feature that i really like about eufy
you'll notice that these blank spaces or darker spaces are actually there because well i don't
keep this camera on all the time i only keep it on when i'm not around and i want to pay attention to
what the cats are doing and you'll always have an idea of the time right there you can see it
says it's 510. so if i bring this back to here i know i saw the cat there so probably right about
here is the one that i'm thinking of where the cat was inspecting my camera as it was moving around
because i wanted to make sure that i tested the motion sense of it so it's locked on to the cat
and it's panning around as she's playing with the camera now you can pause and skip and play just
like you can with a any other recording i will state down here when you're viewing a recording
you can download it share it donate it to you feed delete it or record now keep in mind the clips
that you're gonna get from here these are not the 2k clips this is just the live recording to your
sd card the clips that are being talked about that are in 2k are going to be these video clips
right here which are generally shorter in length however i do like the fact that the length of
time varies based on the movement that is captured during an event i do kind of wish that they had a
target around an event or a trigger so in this case my cats are triggering it i wish there was a
box or something around there letting me know hey this is why i went off this is what triggered me
those are our general options for the pan cam here now let's actually check out an in-depth
look at our options by clicking the sprocket in the upper right hand corner this is one of the
cool things that i like about the eufy pan tilt cam here is that you can turn it off and if you
select to turn it off the bulb actually rotates up so that the camera lens is hidden and this way you
know for sure it is not recording you in any way shape or form there's also an led indicator laid
on the front of it if you're worried about that but that can be turned off in some of our options
down here let's look at our motion detection well we have turn that on or off we can create
active zones so in this case i don't have any active zones set up here but if i wanted to
i create a plus sign we can drag these sizing handles around and it's an interesting octagon
shape so we can get very specific as to where we want things and then eufy always lets you
let me phrase that most of the time we'll let you have two of these depending on your product
and then we'll hit there and now we have two active zones so this will tell me if anything
walks into these zones and we'll just delete our zones if anything walked into those zones and only
those zones would it send me a notification so that was our active zones we can select what we
want to send a message to us so right now i have human pet if you want you could have any motion
right now i keep it on just the medium sensitivity just so i can test it and see how well it does
it has done very well i haven't really had any instances where it hasn't told me the cats were
getting into something but if you needed to you can move that up to high down here we have motion
tracking turning that on or off in this case on will have the camera follow whatever it has seen
moving in the case of the cat that you saw before when they're right up in front of the camera
that was motion tracking when it was moving around now we have our sound detection sound detection we
can turn that on or off and then here we have all sounds crying and then sensitivity so this could
be used as an impromptu baby camera after the fact once you're done using it for home surveillance or
maybe you upgrade this from baby monitor to home surveillance when junior is big enough to not have
to worry about that i'm going to turn that off because i don't have any babies around to test
that we have our pan tilt settings here we have our rotation speed and our pan calibration so we
can calibrate this very quickly and it will shift back up into its housing and then come back down
and now you have calibrated for its zero point now you do have controls on the left-hand side
there and this can be a little tricky to do around the camera so let's show you
that's our three speed and if we come here
that's our five speed so you can see it definitely moves a little more when you increase the speed so
you can find the sweet spot for rotation speed for yourself and then just leave it at whatever you
like i left it at three because that worked out pretty well for me here we have pet commands now
pet commands are another thing that i really like about eufy if we turn this on it allows for those
active zones especially if you're using this to monitor your pets well if we turn that on and have
an active zone it'll let us know that it's going to turn a pet zone on i'm just going to throw that
right there really quick and go back and what this will do is if the pet walks into that area
you'll get an auto response which you have a default one hey what are you doing there which is
a very synthesized voice but you can create your own and in this case i did so here we go bro cat
get down from there you can edit this either title or you can delete it or you can create another one
continue this is a test of the eufy pet command and then you can play
this is a test of the eufy pet command save and now i have two commands that if my pet walks into
those active zones i can choose from so this is another really cool feature that i like about eufy
because this camera lives in my kitchen and yells at my cats when they're up on my stove
or on the countertop that is a godsend it's really good does it work all the time no my
cats tend to ignore it the first couple of times it definitely spooked them though coming down we
have our video settings selecting this will have auto night vision on or off we have our
watermark logo which you saw when we were doing the live feed stream quality well selecting this
you can have adaptive based on bandwidth so depending on how your internet connection is
or you can select high quality all the time medium quality and low and again if you have data caps
you can consider going to a lower image quality and here we go record quality 2k or full hd if you
do use the 2k it will use up more bandwidth and take up more space on your sd card and it notes
right down here in the live view page videos will be recorded according to live view quality not 2k
resolution just keep that in mind in the back of your head and then we have continuous recording
my case i use 24 7 or you can schedule when it will actually record and then you can add rules
so from here to here and then days of the week like i said i like it recording 24 7 and then i
manually turn the camera off when i want it here we have audio settings so we have our microphone
on or off audio record on or off speaker on or off and then speaker volume so obviously it is
a two-way device that you can communicate through so that does have all those controls necessary for
that notifications well i want to be notified of human pet all motions crying baby or all sounds
so you can select what you'd like and then here we have our interval for notifications do you want to
know every single time something happens then you put zero and it does notify you every single time
i have been swiping them away as i've been doing this review if you don't want them quite as fast
you can select a time spanning the notifications being sent up to five minutes right here we have
our mode switch notification so switch modes by geofencing i have that enabled content extension
of notifications so what do you get when it notifies you most efficient means it's just
going to send you text full effect is you get text and a thumbnail include thumbnail which is
get full notification included text and thumbnail if available this one works out pretty good
it sends me something it lets me know somebody's there and it shows me kind of what's there it's
been enough for me to know where my pets are here we have motion alerts a bunch of different sounds
that you can choose from not going to go through them all but know that you have an option if you
don't want to use your default phone's sound next we have general we have the name selecting
that will allow us to change the name here we have status led light this will allow you to
turn off that blue light in front of the camera which also turns to red when it detects motion
person or pet but you can stealth mode this if you wanted to here we have our storage we have
local storage and right now i have a 62 gigabyte card in there it has used 41 gigs total 58 gigs
available 17 gigs you can format from here but that will wipe the entire sd card so you only do
that as the nuclear option if you're putting in a fresh one generally you have the option for cloud
storage right now i could do a 30 day free trial we're not going to do that we're just going to let
you know that that is an option that you could pay for but is not needed with the eufy cams because
they record locally to an sd card and don't charge you extra for that or for pet person
detection and then here we have our nas and rtsp options if you don't know what that is
probably shouldn't be playing with that so i'm not going to cover that we have our wi-fi connection
so this is the wi-fi network that it's attached to you can change it if necessary time settings will
allow you to use your phone as the location based for the time you can change that if you want you
have a mounting guide if you want to go through and figure out how to mount this realistically
i just plop it down and then about this device which has a lot of sensitive information about
this device so i'm not going to bring that up you have the ability to share this device keep in mind
that if you share this device with somebody they are going to need their own eufy account
but you can share it and then share your thoughts on the device and last but not least
we have restart the device and remove the device so that will either restart the device or remove
the device from your eufy app coming back to our main youtube page well we have over here in the
right hand corner the three dot the three dots that i talked about before
selecting this will bring up an option to either snooze your camera which will snooze notifications
that you get from your camera does not mean that it stops recording or we have an option
for settings which brings us to our settings page which we were going through very thoroughly before
just as we touched on before down here we have our events that's going to be any
event that the camera captures and that has been a look at the eufy 2k pan tilt cam app
