Hi,

We are looking at buying a Ring Doorbell or similar as it would be handy for deliveries when we are out. I was also wondering if these systems are the sort of thing you can add an additional camera to, for example a camera in the garage internally which would sort of double up as a security camera? Or is that not the sort of thing you can do with these?

Definitely looking at getting a Ring doorbell type device anyway, but it appears there are several different variants available? Anyone got one they can share purchase guidance on? Do you require a monthly subscription for them as well or similar?

Cheers.
 
Cheers guys. So looking at Eufy stuff now. I wanted a doorbell camera and a camera inside the garage. I'm not sure what kit I need to buy to do this, if its even possible? Do I need a 'hub' of some sort to run a doorbell and an additional camera through? Seen quite a few different packages with various different bits of kit included but not really sure what I would need to get up and running?
 
Hi folks, apologies for the thread resurrection, I've been looking at the eufy kit again and I'm about to push the button on some.

So the 2C kit seems to be good value and gets decent reviews. Is the kit I'm looking at what I'd need and I assume it includes the 'home station' which I'm guessing is the sort of 'wireless hub' that everything links into?

Had a rethink and now I'd like 2 x external cameras, 1 x internal garage camera and the doorbell. Can't find a kit bundle that does all that but eufy appears to be designed as a modular system so should I buy the 2C kit then add a separate indoor camera and a doorbell?

2C kit can be had for around £220 online on the rainforest place then the doorbell is about £99 and an indoor additional camera £40.

Hi all, I've just purchased the following online:-

  • Eufy Cam 2 Pro 2K WiFi Security Camera System with Homebase 2 - 2 x Cameras
  • Eufy Video Doorbell 2K Add-on

Looking forward to getting it all up and running over the weekend. I'll pick up an indoor camera, possibly one of the 'pan and tilt' ones for my garage, soon.
 
Eufy system working perfectly, lots of flexibility within the app to control it all and adjust things, very pleased with it so far.

Just wondering, does anyone know if you can buy 'wedge' type wall mounts to increase the angle of coverage? The doorbell came with a wedge mount so I assume you can buy camera ones somewhere?
 
Hi all, glad to report that the Eufy kit I bought is still working perfectly. I wondered for those who have Eufy kit, do you know if its possible to essentially 'mix and match' camera units? An 'addon' eufyCam 2 Pro camera to match the two I already have is around £120 but they do less expensive ones with 1080p resolution. Considering adding another camera to an area to the rear of the house but don't really need 2k resolution for it. I presume as long as the camera concerned which was added was Homebase2 compatible, it will simply link up on the wifi and show up within the app?

Cheers.
