eufy PoE NVR Security System S4 Max + 2 PoE Cam S4 Add-Ons+2 PoE Cam E41 Add-Ons

The Eufy POE Security System is absolutely the best Security camera system on the market. I purchased 6 S4 Max & 2 E41s. I have 24/7 recording and 360 degree coverage around my entire house. I love the flexibility of the system. I hope in the near future there is a Smart Display that is compatible with the NVR Security System.

I would rate this 4.5 stars but the reason I’m giving it 5 is because I knew some of the limitations of this system.Pros: fast controls, excellent image quality, excellent tracking, great AI detection and recognition, great eufy App, so many cameras and being able to point the ptz a different direction than the top wide camera provides more coverage, NVR runs quiet and cool and is very responsiveCons: no HomeKit or Matter integration, small included hard drive (I upgraded to 8TB Seagate Nighthawk AI HD which suits my needs), no good web portal/can’t access the NVR unless it’s plugged directly into into a monitor which can be a pain if you mount it somewhere out of the wayOverall this is a great system, just know that you are going to want to put it somewhere easily accessible and if you are away you are relying solely on the app to control.

We've had cctv cameras for many years. The overall quality of the NVR cameras is like night and day.Initial setup is a breeze but be sure to remember' or better yet write down what your input was.The final setup will take a little longer because of all of the options that are available.The number one thing with Eufy, you don't have to pay for a cloud account but it's available if desired.

I’ve been using the 16MP Triple-Lens Bullet-PTZ Camera with my eufy NVR setup for a week now, and I’m honestly impressed. The wide-angle 4K lens gives me a crystal-clear view of my whole yard, while the PTZ camera automatically zooms in and follows anyone who walks through—it’s almost like having a security guard on duty 24/7. The auto-framing is surprisingly smooth, and I was able to clearly see details from far away.Night vision is another big win here. Even without the spotlight on, the starlight color mode picks up colors in the dark that I didn’t think were possible, and turning on HDR makes license plates much easier to read. For security, the red/blue strobe and siren are great deterrents—I tested them out and they’re definitely attention-grabbing.The AI detection is spot-on. It can tell the difference between Animals, passing cars, and actual people, so I’m not bombarded with useless alerts anymore. Setup was pretty simple too since it runs on PoE, and I like knowing it’s recording 24/7 without relying on Wi-Fi. The two-way talk works well with little background noise, and the build feels rugged enough to handle weather without issues.Overall, this camera gives me peace of mind and delivers the kind of smart tracking and clarity that I just haven’t seen in other systems. If you already have the eufy PoE NVR, this is a serious upgrade worth considering.

Picture quality is fantastic. This camera is way better than any security systems I had before. It is definitely worth the money for all the security features it includes.

Awesome was lil work in hot attic but love the security...

Got this several weeks ago and it is a superb system. The installation was fairly easy (running wires in August on an tropical island is a very uncomfortable proposition!). The central unit, the size of a blue ray player, is cutting edge and it controls the cameras, 8 in total, 4 fixed and 4 AI Assist moveable with up to 8x magnification. The pictures from the 4k/4k cameras is impeccable. The fixed cams have a 120 degree viewing angle for capturing a huge swath of property. My home is elevated 17 feet and there are three points of entry downstairs and I have 2 units covering them and then there are two external doors on the second floor are covered by the other two. The system was so easy to set up that when I saw the quality of the imagery, the sound quality and tje AI recognition and allerts, I was sold on Eufy as the system that kicks butt in security and the one alll the other companies in this arena are scrambling to be!

Only been running for a day. So far very nice system. Lost my password after it updated but was easy to recover.

This is an incredible home security camera set up! I have had different security camera set ups for over 20 years and this is by far the best system I have owned to date!The cameras are the heart of the system incorporating separate fixed and PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras in each housing that work in tandem to identify movement and track it. The separate camera units can be linked so movement on 1 signals the next to move to track the movement, this allows movement to be followed around the property. You get 4 of these bullet PTZ camera units accounting for 8 different camera feeds. I walk out my front door and instantly I have a stalker, they are super cool! The video produced is super clear and items can be easily identified, the reason we have cameras in the first place!System set up is easy. Plug the NVR into the router, load the app, create a log in and continue with the set up process. The cameras connect themselves when plugged in. Running the wires is the hardest part of the whole process and could or should be left to a professional if access is limited. I only have 2 cameras connected at the moment as it's too hot to be in the attic until it gets cooler. 4 - 59' ethernet cables are provided for power and data for the cameras, no separate power supply for the individual cameras, power comes directly from the NVR. The cables have weather tight fittings to keep the moisture out and protect the connections. From my research it appears Cat6 cable can be used for longer runs and the weather seal can be installed over the rj45 connectors protecting the connection.The app is easy to navigate and to make changes. Individual users can have different settings for notification tone, time between alerts and various other items settings. Items like camera angle can be adjusted through the app for the PTZ cameras, detection zones can be set to your needs and sensitivity can be adjusted. I have mine set up to give me a notification sound and a pop up on my lock screen that shows what camera and if it was a car, pet, person or someone the system recognizes by name. Yes the system has face recognition and it allows you to assign a title to the person.I was unsure when I ordered the system exactly what I was looking at I had never heard of Eufy before. The cameras are phenomenal! The whole system works together flawlessly to follow movement on my property and allow easy recall of the events. It really gives me peace of mind when I'm at home or away helping me keep my family safe! No area of my house will have a blind spot now! I had issues with blind corners even with 8 individual cameras as they were all fixed. Plus additional cameras can be added with the Bullet PTZ cameras currently listed at $279.99, or single PTZ or bullet cameras also being available at a lower cost.This camera set up will impress! I fully recommend the system and at the current list price of $1299.99 it is a bargain for the equipment you receive! I was skeptical of the initial price wondering if it was truly worth it, seeing truly is believing!

This is by far the best PoE camera I’ve ever seen or heard of! We built out house 4 years ago and I had cat6 run to what I thought was a reasonable amount of places. I had 7 cameras up and still had blind spots and the system I was using was difficult to actually get footage from. These cameras and the Eufy NVR system are amazing! No more blind spots. AI tracking does a decent job and it’s nice to have a zoom in function automatic. Installation was a breeze and took less than 15 minutes. Mounting options are great. I can say enough how happy I am with this system, especially after living with a sub par system for 4 years that cost about the same.
