eufy Security 2K Indoor Cam Pan & Tilt

One camera, the whole room. This pan and tilt indoor camera sits on a shelf or mounts to the ceiling and turns a full circle, 360° left to right and 96° up and down, so a single unit covers a living room, a nursery or a small shop floor that would otherwise need two or three fixed cameras. Point it where you want from the app, or let it pick up movement and swing round to follow on its own.

• Why a pan and tilt indoor camera beats three fixed ones
• 2K, and a lens wide enough for the corners
• It decides what is worth telling you
• Storage and power
• Fixed, full size or Mini

Everything is recorded at 2K rather than the 1080p most indoor cameras stop at, across a 125° lens that keeps the edges of the room in frame. Infrared night vision carries on after the lights go out.

The camera decides what is worth telling you about. On-device AI separates people from pets from ordinary movement, so a cat crossing the floor does not raise the same alert as someone walking through the door. It listens too, and can flag a crying baby or an unusual noise while you are in another room. Two-way audio lets you answer back through the camera, and there is a built-in siren if you need it.

Footage goes to a microSD card in the camera, up to 128 GB, so there is no subscription needed to keep your recordings and no HomeBase to buy. It joins your Wi-Fi directly. It works with Amazon Alexa, the Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. The camera runs on mains power and stays plugged in.

Why a pan and tilt indoor camera beats three fixed ones

A pan and tilt indoor camera earns its price in rooms that a fixed lens cannot cover. Turning a full circle left to right and 96 degrees up and down, this one watches a living room, a nursery or a small shop floor that would otherwise need two or three cameras bolted to different walls.

You can drive it from the app, or leave motion tracking on and let it swing round and follow whatever it has picked up.

2K, and a lens wide enough for the corners

Everything is recorded at 2K rather than the 1080p most indoor cameras stop at, across a 125 degree lens that keeps the edges of the room in frame. There is 8x digital zoom for reading something at the far end, and infrared night vision carries on after the lights go out.

It decides what is worth telling you

On-device AI separates people from pets from ordinary movement, so a cat crossing the floor does not raise the same alert as somebody walking through the door. It listens too, and will flag a crying baby or an unusual noise while you are in another room.

Two-way audio lets you answer back through it, and there is a siren built in if a voice is not enough.

Storage and power

Footage goes to a microSD card in the camera, up to 128 GB, Class 10, not included. No subscription is needed to keep your recordings and there is no HomeBase to buy. It joins your Wi-Fi directly on 2.4 GHz.

It runs on a 5V 2A adapter and stays plugged in, and it is an indoor unit: 75 x 75 x 108 mm, 217 g, not weatherproof, rated 0 to 40 degrees C.

Fixed, full size or Mini

The fixed 2K Indoor Cam is cheaper if one corner is all you need. The Mini turns just as far in a smaller body but drops pet and crying detection and HomeKit. This one is the full-size version that keeps all of it. eufy list the model as T8410 at eufy.com.
