Eufy Security Floodlight Camera - A Bright Idea for Your Home

Love this and can’t wait to see it in action! I also would like to know about the storage options that @Ice1 talks about.

• Do the lights act as smart lighting or are they just triggered my motion/dusk to dawn?
• Can the camera connect to 5GHz networks or just 2.4GHz networks?

I have a lot of Ring products, some that are similar to this, so I’m curious to know how they compare. :slight_smile:

I can’t wait to try this Floodlight out. I think it will pair up nicely with my Eufy Doorbell. My only question is… are there any coupon codes available? :eyes: :rofl:

If they are giving them away for testing I think they should give me one to do a teardown, compare to the eufycam, test features they advertise & ones they don’t
From the forum I think me & @yamyam should be your testers

Would be ideal for a replacement for our Ring Spotlight cam so we can get Google Assistant integration. Will this be getting a UK release too?

Eufy and other Anker brands seems to be getting worse over the last couple of years for just releasing stuff in the US and ignoring other markets. Surely compliance to standards and regulatory approvals for Anker’s internatonal markets etc. should have been an integral part of the project right from the start.

Thank you for your interest to the floodlight camera!
To answer your questions:

  1. We use eMMC for the storage. The floodlight camera has 4GB local storage built-in for motion-triggered recordings. In the scenario of 30 video clips per day, 1min length per recording, the 4GB eMMC can store about 14 days recordings.

  2. NAS is not supported on the floodlight camera.

  3. We’re developing desktop software for all eufy security products. Please stay tuned for the update.

  4. The floodlight camera is a standalone device which user can connect it to their home Wi-Fi. So the wireless range really depend on the router’s performance, the distance and obstacles in between.

If you have further questions, feel free to post here. :grinning:

Sure, we will post more info and instructions here on the floodlight cameras.

  1. The floodlight camera requires existing outdoor junction box and 110-240VAC wiring.
    It’s an upgrade to user’s existing floodlights and reuses the fixture.
  2. The mounting height is usually 8ft - 10ft (2.5m - 3m) . The detection range is about 20ft - 26ft (6m - 8m).
  3. The floodlight camera is a standalone product that connects to your home Wi-Fi. So the wireless range depends on your router’s performance, distance and obstacles in between.

Correct. The floodlight camera is a standalone device that connects to your home Wi-Fi. But it does use the same eufy Security App.

Besides the on/off control, user can set different brightness for schedule, motion triggering and manual on.
Think about the scenario what you set a low brightness on a late night schedule for illumination and the light turns on max brightness when it detects an event.

The camera connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

We care user’s privacy as much as they do.
All data is encrypted and then stored on local storage or transmitted to the App.
We don’t save user’s data on the cloud or limit functions like not allowing to watch history recordings without subscription. User doesn’t pay any monthly fee and controls their data.

We plan to launch the floodlight camera in UK and EU later this year.
The setup scenarios are quite different between US and UK/EU, such as the outdoor junction box and electricity code. It’s not a quick change-pack-and sell, but stay tuned!

Question. In the future will you be able to store videos in a private cloud storage? Rather than having to only store on the measly 4gb?

Btw 4gb Isn’t enough, I know because I have the doorbell.

That is very disappointing, was hoping for microSD like home depot was advertising, having a small fixed amount of storage is a big let down IMO

Being a powered cam I can’t see why you wouldn’t allow 24/7 recording but that would require more storage

For example my wyze cameras have 256gb cards in them and with 24/7 recording I get just shy of a month

You seem to be putting the cons of a battery camera in a powered camera (doorbell is the same) why would you make such a decision?

Very interesting product, very appealing. I think I’ll let it hit the market first and see how it performs.
I’m of the camp as many others here 4GB feels like very little storage. Does it not do constant recording or is it ONLY motion-triggered recording?

Sometimes its handy to go back before an even happened. or even after. I also like that it’s a hardwired solution.

Only motion triggered recording…

I’m noticing a trend with the doorbell and floodlight having local storage, instead of relying on a homebase. Will these new products support homekit in the future? What about the Homekit Secure Video Storage in icloud?

Good suggestion.
We guess some other users might have the same request like you. We will for sure investigate the possibility on product and engineering perspectives.
