The eufyCam 3 2-Cam Kit (model numbers T8871, T8030, and T8160) promises a compelling blend of high-resolution video, solar-powered convenience, and advanced AI features. Having spent several weeks testing this system in various conditions, I’m ready to share my in-depth review.

This system packs a lot of features into a relatively compact package. The standout is undoubtedly the 4K resolution, delivering incredibly crisp and detailed video, both day and night. The built-in solar panel is a game-changer, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements and offering true “forever power” in sufficient sunlight. The facial recognition AI is impressively accurate, distinguishing between family members and strangers, reducing false alerts. Local storage, expandable up to 16TB, provides peace of mind without relying on cloud services and associated monthly fees. Two-way audio and Alexa/Google Assistant integration add further convenience.

The image quality is exceptionally good. During daylight hours, the 4K resolution captures incredible detail. Even at night, thanks to the Starlight system, the video remains surprisingly clear. I found the facial recognition to be accurate, though it occasionally needed a few exposures to correctly identify individuals. The range is also impressive; I could clearly see events happening at the edge of my property. The solar panel kept the cameras consistently charged, even during periods of less-than-ideal sunlight. The app is intuitive and easy to use, making setup and monitoring straightforward. I experienced a couple of minor glitches with the app, but they were rare and easily resolved.

One area where the eufyCam 3 could be improved is its motion detection sensitivity. While customizable, I occasionally experienced false alerts triggered by swaying branches or passing animals. Adjusting the sensitivity helped mitigate this issue, but it requires some fine-tuning.

Pros:

• Exceptional 4K image quality, day and night
• Integrated solar panel for true “forever power”
• Accurate facial recognition AI
• Expandable local storage (up to 16TB)
• User-friendly app
• Two-way audio and smart home integration

Cons:

• Motion detection sensitivity requires fine-tuning
• Occasional minor app glitches
• Hard drive for expanded storage is sold separately

Overall, the eufyCam 3 2-Cam Kit provides an excellent security solution. The combination of high-resolution video, solar power, and advanced AI features makes it a strong contender in the market. While minor issues with motion detection and the app exist, they don’t detract significantly from the overall positive experience. I highly recommend the eufyCam 3 to anyone seeking a reliable, feature-rich, and relatively maintenance-free outdoor security system.
