eufy PoE NVR Security System E40

I've got a few other eufy products and was looking for a local home security system. I am over subscriptions. Eufy has put together a great product, everything is super simple to set up. PoE makes connecting the cameras quick and easy. Depending on the run though you may need to get longer cable. Software is fantastic. Camera quality is tops. It makes me wonder sometimes when you see security footage and they are looking for people, how old is their tech. I wish the drive was an SSD and not HDD but any expansion I do I will use SSD. Plenty of room for growth on this. Really pleased with this system.

I'm so impressed with this system. I'm a total security newb but I've had some people illegally dumping on my property. I put up a little cheap wifi camera but it didn't catch the perp. I guess the motion control wasn't good enough. My boyfriend is tech savvy and set this up in like half a day. The installation was pretty easy. The biggest thing is probably the fact that the cameras are wired so get ready to run some cable! The picture quality was so good though. After trying my cheap camera which couldn't see much, especially in the dark, I was so impressed at how clear this photo quality was. Even in the dark you're getting clear color video. There was no apparently lag. The value for the money seems good. I don't know too much about other security systems though. I like that this one also has alarms and alerts if you want to scare someone on your property and it can record for 2TB and once it's done it will record over old footage.

We like this security system because it does not have a monthly fee. It comes with a 2TB Hard Drive that allows for local storage of weekly video footage. Please keep in mind that this is a NVR security System that provides digital video with higher resolution, better scalability, native audio support, and more flexible, network-based installations. We have been very happy with Eufy products including this security system.

This is the best security investment I’ve made. As someone who’s moderately tech-savvy, I found the setup process manageable. It’s truly “plug and play.” It's not wireless, but it's pretty simple to connect each of the four cameras with a single Ethernet cable. Everything you need is in the box, including cables, mounting hardware, and even a mouse for the NVR.The video quality is impressive. I can clearly make out faces, license plates, and other fine details. What blew me away is the starlight color night vision. Even in really dark areas without the spotlight, I still get color footage. When the spotlight activates, everything gets even clearer. HDR helps avoid overexposure from headlights or porch lights, which is a big plus when reviewing footage.The system accurately distinguishes between people, cars, and irrelevant motion like leaves blowing or shadows, so I've had very few false alerts.The AI-powered smart search feature is fantastic. I can just type in "person" or "car," for example, and the system pulls up relevant clips instantly.I also really appreciate the red and blue strobe lights and the smart siren feature. When the system detects a potential intruder, the flashing lights and sound kick in. It's a great deterrent, especially at night. So far, it's only activated once -- when a coyote was skulking around the property!I feel much safer than I did before, and I absolutely recommend this to homeowners to want more peace of mind.

This system has been working really well, the 4K cameras give a very clear picture both day and night. The color night vision is impressive and I like that it has AI detection so it doesn’t alert on every little thing. The strobe light feature is also a nice extra for security. The NVR setup with 2TB storage was simple and it’s been recording smoothly. Everything came brand new and packaged well, and overall it feels like a reliable system for home security.

This turned out to be an awesome kit that includes practically everything you need to get your security camera system up and running.Along with the main video storage unit that records the cameras you also get all the needed cabling and mounting hardware for the 4 included 4k POE fixed cameras. The Quick Start Guide walks you through the initial mounting of the cameras and connecting up the NVR.You can interact with the cameras thought the NVR and it's HDMI output along with the included mouse. Keyboard input is handled on-screen or you can use your own standard usb keyboard. There is also a versatile app for your phone that is easy to install and configure.From a video quality standpoint the included (e40 model) 4k cameras with 122 degree field of view are a great starting point and showcase the advanced detection capabilities for motion and objects. Night vision and spotlight functionality along with decent quality audio are all working together for you. If you're looking for more flexibility the manufacturer also sells the model S4 and E41 cameras with more advanced capabilities like PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) and different FOV (Field Of View) angles.For expandability the NVR system can be upgraded to a larger hard drive for increased recording time, and up to 16 cameras (8 of which can use the built-in POE ports) are supported. I presume the rest are WiFi connected.

Quite a lengthy installation process My Husband is handy with computers and was able to set it up in one afternoon. I haven't decided where I want to mount the cameras, but he said everything was working right and they included enough cord to install it throughout the house, but not enough for outside There's more ports than the cameras that they included with this package so we can always add more.

The flag pole has very modern look. It also has sturdy feel. The pole comes with slip rings containing steel bearing that allow them to move around the pole preventing the flag from becoming tangles. Looks great with my American flag.

Very easy to set-up and is a nice update. Physically installing the cameras is the hardest part (especially compared to the WIFI cameras, but no different than any other wired camera) but that was expected. In case you missed it, it does come with 4 59' ethernet cords - totally depends on your set-up if these are going to be long enough - I originally had one concern which was the provided ethernet cords / camera connections didn't seem as weather resistant as those that I have on my line of sight wireless bridge and an exterior access point, which would only be a concern if the wire wasn't going immediately into the structure (the cord goes through the camera support so it can go directly into the structure without being visible but also has a slot in the base so it can come out of the camera mount and go where you need it) - one of my placement options had the wire having to be run through patio joists and thought I'd have to to some makeshift work to make it weather resistant.... until I found the weatherproofing connections in the box already included so concern was not a real issue as it was already resolved - the ethernet cables themselves don't have writing notating outside use like my other cables do but the connection appears to be otherwise weather-resistant, just unsure if the cords are UV resistant. So overall (relatively) easy to install, seems to include everything you need (unless you need a lot more length in ethernet cord), pairs well into existing systems and is also expandable in terms of both cameras and data storage as needed. Quality is beyond what I probably needed for home use but very nice - the video searching capabilities are pretty interesting too.

We currently pay our home security company a monthly fee so we can have video recording from a few cameras around the house. I was looking for an alternative that didn't have a monthly fee, and came across this Eufy POE system. It's easy to install and even comes with Ethernet cables so everything needed is in the box. The 4K capable cameras provide a clear image and the app is fairly easy to use. I really like that power and video is provided over a single wire with only one plug needed. The system is well-made and has some great features built-in. It's "AI" detection with facial recognition works fairly well. My only complaint about this is that it requires the use of an app. While they don't charge for it, it does mean that it requires a live Internet connection for use. I've used CCTV security systems before that have a built-in local website so they can be used without a live connection to the company's servers. Other than this, this is a very good system with great expandability options and I highly recommend it.
