I recently adopted a dog who I want to monitor when I’m away from home. So I got a cheap motion tracking in-home camera with cloud storage, and AI identification for people and pets. The AI functions never fucking worked. I already had a Ring camera.

Did a bit of research after realising the cheapo camera was shit, and went for a eufy stack to replace the Ring doorbell and tbr shitty in-house camera.

I now have:

• eufy Video Doorbell
• eufy HomeBase 3, with an added 1TB of storage
• eufy IndoorCam C220

This gives me

• local storage for both cameras on the HomeBase.
• the HomeBase also gives you local AI for (individual) person, (general) pet, vehicle, and package identification. I haven’t tried the vehicle identification.
• streaming in the app for both cameras should work in 2k. I have it set to 1080p. It’s good enough for me.
• continuous recording is an option. I have it set to motion alerts because
• the app gives you motion and doorbell alerts. You can configure how much information you want in the notifications, to prevent video’s from passing through eufy’s servers.
