Security Cameras

Consider these key factors to select good surv cameras to build your home security system:
1. Placement: Start by deciding where you need coverage—indoors or outdoors—as this will guide the type of camera and features you'll need.
2. Resolution: For clear and detailed footage, look for security cameras with at least 1080p resolution. eufy provides 4k video cameras for the best clarity.
3. Connectivity & Storage Options: Decide whether you want wired or wireless cameras, and if you want local storage only or added cloud backup.
4. Night Vision Capabilities: For outdoor surveillance at night or in low-light conditions, choose security cameras with night vision. Explore eufy's floodlight cameras if you need added visibility and want to deter intruders—ideal for areas like garages, driveways, or backyards.
5. Motion Detection: Motion detection allows your home security cameras to conserve storage and alert you to potential threats or suspicious activity.
6. Weather Resistance: For outdoor use, make sure the camera is weather-resistant.
7. Mobile App and Remote Monitoring: Choose a video surveillance camera that supports remote monitoring via a mobile app for easy access and control.

Security cameras for a home typically keep footage for 30-90 days, although the exact duration depends on your local storage capacity or if any Cloud Backup is supported.

For example, our S330 eufyCam 4K wireless security camera allows 3 months of storage time. Once your recordings reach its built-in 16GB EMMC space, the oldest recordings are automatically overwritten. If you opt for a monthly or yearly cloud subscription, your footage can be retained for a longer period.

Some key areas to place surveillance cameras are:
1. Front and back entrances
2. Perimeter of the Property
3. Yard and Garden Areas
4. High-value or particularly vulnerable Areas within your property.
5. Common areas such as lobbies, hallways, or staircases.
6. Blind Spots or areas with limited visibility.
7. Parking Lots and Driveways.
8. Critical Infrastructure.
9. Off-Limit Zones.

The cost of security cameras for a home can vary widely depending on the type, video resolution, features, and installation requirements. Basic models may start at around $50, while advanced cameras with features like 4K resolution or pan-tilt zoom can cost several hundred dollars—or over $500 for multi-camera bundles. eufy offers top security cameras to suit every budget.

For a top-tier home security solution, eufy’s security cameras are among the best options available in Canada. Whether you need indoor or outdoor surveillance, eufy offers a range of feature-rich surv cameras that suit different needs—like the eufyCam S3 Pro for robust, 4K HD outdoor protection, or the Indoor Cam C210 for tracking kids or pets. Choose from wired or wireless models, all offering high-resolution video, motion detection, and two-way audio. eufy home security cameras also work seamlessly with Alexa & Google Assistant, and include local storage with no monthly fees.

While Wi-Fi cameras are popular for their convenience, security cameras can indeed function without WiFi by using alternative methods like cellular signals (LTE or 4/5G) or recording locally to devices such as DVRs or microSD cards. Camera like the eufy 4G LTE Cam S330 utilizes cellular networks to offer internet-connected features, including streaming and instant notification, without WiFi. However, this approach might involve additional costs for cellular data plans.

Battery life varies by usage and environment—typically lasting several months. With solar panels, many eufy security cameras can run continuously. For 24/7 video recording cameras, choose models with wired or solar power support. There're 2 models you could look at:
eufy SoloCam S340 is equipped with a solar panel that charges continuously during daylight hours, allowing it to run indefinitely after a single installation.
Models like eufyCam E330, though not equipped with solar panels, can still achieve uninterrupted power supply thanks to a 16.4-foot (5-metre) power cable. With eufy, you never have to worry about running out of power.
