eufy PoE NVR Security System S4

Best camerá.s ive ever ownèd

Quick note. Ensure you open your packages without tearing them apart just in case you have to send anything back for returns. Set up was very easy. It took literally 10 minutes to test everything as a hookup before doing the actual install. Test the system BEFORE actual install. After testing, it took me an hour on each camera. That includes running cable and drilling/fastening/adjustments on each camera. The cameras are very robust, responsive and reliable in cold and hot climates. This is my 2nd system install from Eufy. The entire Eufy systems are very easy to follow!!! Follow the directions and read through BEFORE touching anything!!!

This is an excellent security camera system from eufy. The PoE setup makes installation clean and reliable, and the system delivers outstanding performance compared to others I’ve tested. The 360° PTZ functionality, AI auto framing and tracking, and smart video search features make it a powerful surveillance solution.The color night vision is sharp and clear, and the included 2TB NVR provides true 24/7 recording for peace of mind. With support for up to 16 channels, this system offers plenty of room for expansion.For $949.99 (business price), the value is very strong considering the advanced features and build quality.Overall, this is a superior PoE camera solution, and I highly recommend it for both professional and home security use.

This is a VERY high quality system that you would expect to cost a lot more than it does. Unlike other brands, the motion detection is very good and the picture quality is extremely crisp. It doesn't lose connection like other cameras have. The app is easy to use and share video from. The cameras are very good for the money.

Setup for this camera system was surprisingly easy thanks to the plug-and-play Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) design--just one cable per camera for power and video. The video quality is clear with wide coverage. The auto-tracking is impressive and works great. The Point-tilt-zoom (PTZ) function is very reliable and nice to have to be able to track and look around the surveillance area. I like that it comes with 2TB of storage and is expandable to up to 16TB, so there is no need for subscriptions. The cross-cam tracking is seamless and the auto-framing keeps the footage sharp and centered. It is a robust system without monthly subscription fees, which makes this a fantastic buy.

This has been working well for me so far. It isn’t perfect, but it does what I expected. The build feels sturdy, and I like that it’s easy to handle. The instructions could have been clearer, but once I figured things out, it was smooth sailing. Compared to other options I’ve tried, this one is simpler and more reliable. It’s not going to blow you away, but it holds up under regular use. I’d say it’s worth picking up if you want something that balances quality and affordability without unnecessary extras.

Security camera systems are two things: confusing, and expensive. This system is neither. I was amazed how easy it was to setup, and how inexpensive over other systems we've seen. I'd never heard of eufy brand before, and I've since seen their camera systems at two other major warehouse and retail brand stores. The quality and detail is really great too, which is nice in low light/night time. We have wild critters all over the place and now we can see what exactly has been making a mess out there.Not to mention the piece of mine when we're out of town. If you're looking for a system, give this one a try, and don't be deterred by the price tag. You get a lot more than some of the more expensive systems out there.

After years of dealing with our unreliable WiFi front door camera (nicknamed the “Pest Cam” because it only seemed to fail when we actually needed it), we decided to switch over to a wired PoE system. The difference has been immediate. No random disconnects, no waiting for a feed to load, just steady recording all the time.The setup was straightforward, and I appreciate that it records locally without requiring a paid subscription. The picture quality is sharp, and the motion tracking feels smooth and responsive. The AI has also been good at cutting down false alarms, so we aren’t constantly pinged for every passing shadow, small bunny, non-corporeal entity the pest cam thought it picked up while never being able to see who was actually ringing the doorbell in real time.It’s been a big upgrade in peace of mind compared to WiFi cameras, and worth the change.

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.
