FAQ
What is the eufyCam 2C kit best suited for?
This weatherproof camera excels at monitoring outdoor spaces like garages, driveways, and backyards. Its wide 135° field of view captures a broad area, making it ideal for deterring potential intruders or simply keeping an eye on activity around your property.
What's the battery life actually like?
The eufyCam 2C boasts an impressive 180-day battery life on a single charge, assuming typical usage. However, continuous recording with human detection enabled will reduce this lifespan; expect around 60-90 days for constant monitoring.
