Hello guys,
Lifehackster here... Today, we are going to compare
2 latest WiFi cameras from eufy. The mini but mighty eufy outdoor cam pro and their new 2K
floodlight camera..I just reviewed these camera’s individually and if you haven’t
seen them yet..I will link it somewhere here on top and in the description down below.
Now before we compare the video and audio quality, let’s compare the features...
Both of these cameras are wired or plugged in..but the floodlight needs to be wired through
a junction box or with an extension cord, you can always rig this to be plugged in also.
Both of these cameras have local storage..and at this time, are not able to connect to eufys
homebase..I’m really hoping that they will do this soon...just to have a back up of
your recordings..there is also an option for cloud storage with monthly subscription...
and for the outdoor cam pro it has NAS/RTSP option and I’m not sure why the floodlight can doesnt...
For the outdoor cam pro, it has a micro SD card slot and it comes with a 32GB card
but you can put in up to a 128gb card.
With the floodlight cam..it has a built in and not removable or upgradeable 4GB of
EMMC storage. So definitely you can store more recordings in the outdoor cam pro.
As to video quality, both of these cameras record in 2K,
2304x1296 pixel resolution and at 15FPS in both daytime and at night.
They are also advertised that they have a 130 degree FOV
but I know one of them is not right...and I think the outdoor pro is wider overall
because the floodlight cam’s FOV is about the same as the Wyze V3...which is also 130 degrees...
As to night time footage..the outdoor cam pro has a small spotlight than can be set to
automatically turn On when it detects motion at night.. and the floodlight cam
has 2 floodlights that can put out 2,500 lumen light..which will light up your property...
And for the outdoor cam pro, you can always add some additional motion activated lights or any
ambient lighting to match the light output of the eufy floodlight cam...
Now as to the recordings...the outdoor cam pro can be set to record
24/7 aside from motion events but the floodlight cam can only record motion
activated events. The outdoor cam pro also has sound detection and even crying detection like
Eufys indoor cameras...while the floodlight doesn’t have this feature..
The floodlight cam though has a 10 second pre-buffer meaning
it will add 10 seconds of footage before motion has been detected..
While the outdoor cam pro will only start recording when it detects motion..or
probably a second of pre-buffer because when I check the footages...you will see a frame or
2 that there is no motion yet..and it is pretty spot on that you will still see the whole event.
Let’s do some testing... also if you like this video and my other videos, don’t forget to give
it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel if you have not done it yet and click the
bell notification so as to get notified when I upload comparison videos like this video, product
reviews, product updates and long term reviews.,. Thank you..
At time of testing the floodlight cam cannot be added to both amazon alexA or google home
which eufy should be adding this soon and the outdoor cam pro integrates well from the get go..
Both cameras are not Homekit compatible and I’m not sure if eufy will add this feature later on..
Now, lastly..is the price..the floodlight cam is twice as much as the outdoor cam pro..and
I like how small it is and if you are able to hide the power cable by hiding it through a wall
or a ceiling..this is a pretty good, reliable and discreet security camera. It does have more
features than the floodlight cam and eufy’s slogan of mini but mighty..best describes this camera..
Now, if you are replacing an existing light fixture or regular floodlight in your property,
eufys, 2K floodlight would be a better option..it
does have a pretty bright 5000 kelvin white light and 2500 lumen output.
Overall, both of these cameras are pretty good options as you can see in its video quality
and I like that eufy is breaking the 1080p barrier which a lot of
other camera companies like Ring is stuck on...
I wish eufy would start integrating their wired cameras to their home base or at least
an option to record to the homebase as a backup...and to be consistent with their
cameras features..also to they do need to add vehicle detection on their AI...
Any questions, comment down below. Thanks for watching and see you in the next one.
Thank you.
