eufy NVR Security System S4

Amazing quality system, huge hard drive which accounts for a lot of the cost of the set. Great functionality and you can add two lots together so more cameras will cover a normal house. Great motion detection which you can change the sensitivity and reach of the cameras. Easy to use but had to get electrician to fit and set up.

Excellent customer support

Having an engineering factory within 100 meters of our semi, I often see suspicious vehicles parking up in the early hours searching for scrap metal and my house over looks this factory and fore court. I have been wanting to install a security camera on our house for a while and I decided to order this product.The product comes with everything you need to install the cameras, believe me eufy have thought of everything, even down to the camera installation stickers so I knew exactly where to drill without having to mark it all out. There is also outdoor ethernet and indoor depending on your installation. I installed all 4 cameras strategically around my property and connected the NVR system.I then connected the NVR system to my router which enables me to have wifi access. The NVR system is a truly game changing piece of equipment it is easy to navigate and really powerful and has cool features like face recognition and threat detection. It also allows me to take control of the cameras in real time.The cameras are also amazing particularly the bullet cameras that zooms in at high quality, also, the night vision is excellent.I have only had the product installed 2 weeks so there is still much to learn about the product but having a large young family at home, I feel safer, and I also believe the presence of the cameras also act as a deterrent particularly high tech cameras such as these.Wonderful product absolutely recommneded.

Well, a very professional CCTV camera system that is very handy for anyone.Pack contains 2TB Hard Drive unit that can be upgraded to 16tb and can connect up to 8 cameras at once, 2 fixed cameras, 2 movable bullet cameras, 4x 18m ethernet cables, 1 mouse, power supply cable, hdmi cable, mounting brackets with screws and instructions manual.Installation is relatively easy, the only hard thing to do is to find the best way to pull the cables. To do the job, a ladder and a drill is required, if concerned about height it may be better to hire a professional. A good thing is that, the internet cable is used for both, to power and connect the camera to the hub, so extra power supply isn't necessary.The images are brilliant, very clear even on nights plus if the camera light is turned on the image is colourful. The movable camera can be turned 360°, so there is quite hard to miss a spot.To use all the features, the eufy app must be installed on your phone or used the mouse if connected to a tv or monitor.The best feature for me is that, I can select an activity zone and I will only receive notification when motion is detected in that zone.Price, £657 with 27% off, at the moment of the review may look high but this kit is really good quality and sturdy. I like it.

I have to admit that I am a dinosaur when it comes to technical products, so my partner actually set up this system up for us! I would not have been able to do it myself as it involves mounting cameras high up and drilling holes to run ethernet cables inside the house, so if you are not able to do it yourself I suggest getting a qualified tradesperson to do it as you want it set up correctly in the first place given that this is a considerable investment!My partner, however, had no problems and is impressed with the build quality – and in fact everything about the system.The bullet upper cameras have a 16mp image sensor that captures video in 4k resolution and the lower PTZs have twin 2k lenses. The lower ones can rotate a full 360 degrees and tilt up to 70 degrees with automatic tracking to follow and zoom in on a person who moves within their field of view. Together they form the ‘tri cam’ system which eliminates blind spots, which is particularly important with a security system.The cameras are IP65 weather rated so should withstand the British weather, and for nighttime coverage they use starlight colour night vision and HDR processing to capture footage even in low light. When they detect movement the spotlight can activate to enhance visibility – very useful for identifying people or licence plates, and they also flash warning lights, which are a deterrent.There is 2TB of local storage (which can be expanded to 16TB) and built in AI that handles detection and tracking without relying on the cloud.While the system is managed mainly through the Eufy app or web interface, it also supports voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant.Installation isn’t difficult if you know what you are doing, but it’s more involved than setting up battery-powered Wi-Fi cameras.Once you have chosen your camera locations, you mount the camera brackets and mount the cameras to them, and feed the ethernet cables through your drilled holes. You connect the other end of the cables to the NVR.Configuring the system to work is easy (according to my partner!!). The NVR automatically detects the connected cameras, and you can access the system through a monitor, the Eufy app, or via Eufy’s web portal.The Eufy Security app lets you customise detection by type—human, vehicle, pet, or general motion—and choose how and when you’re notified, with options for thumbnails, alert tones, and recording intervals.At the current price of around £800 the system isn’t cheap, but it does deliver very high quality and reliability. The other big advantage is that you get local control and no subscription fees, which can really mount up.All in all, we are very pleased with the system which is perfect for our needs. It is handy to know that you can expand the system to 16 cameras, although we will never need that many, but it is good to know if someone has a very large property. I think that it is expensive, but you can’t put a price on security, so I think it is worth paying a bit extra for peace of mind.

Arrived safely and quickly with amazon's excellent service.Everything was well presented beautifully in the boxes. These moving cameras are absolutely quality. All cameras have the best images and super level zoom.Recording is done with suppled unit with hard drive.. installation is easy to follow with guide instruction booklet.Please note these are powered cameras with all required cables for connection.Both day time and during the night vision is top quality.This has to be the best security system I have had the pleasure to use.If you are looking for security for your home or business you have come to the right page. I definitely do recomend this system as quality comes with the price you pay.Completely motion detectionVery highly recommendedAnd for security this is value for money.

I haven't had chance to properly fully install this system yet but I have assembled it and tried it out without drilling holes in my walls to properly fit the cables etc. The draw for me on this system is the multi camera tracking, power over ethernet (meaning only 1 cable to install which carries video, data and power for the cameras) and the large hard drive base unit which allows the system to record a lot of high quality footage.The cameras themselves are impressive, using the different lenses they can accurately track and zoom in on subjects allowing you to record highly detailed and accurate footage of people and vehicles. In addition to the auto tracking you can control the camera yourself to look at specific things going on and zoom in to record detail.Connectivity is first class, through an app or directly through the base unit. The app is intuitive and allows you to view live video, move the cameras and view recorded events. Events can be configured to record a range of information and the privacy setting allows you to block out areas that are not to be included in the recorded video.Overall the system is very versatile, the PTZ control of the cameras and multiple lenses means you need fewer cameras installed to cover a wide area. The power over ethernet simplifies installs by using only 1 cable for video, data and power. The build quality of the cameras is solid and combined with good strong mounts the system feels like it will last a long time. Control and viewing via the app is intuitive, quickly and easily view or control recordings. Overall I would say this is a high end system for home or commercial use.

The eufy NVR Security System S4 comes with 4 cameras: 2 turret cams and 2 bullet cams. All cameras capture full-colour high-resolution footage. Each turret cam has the impressive ability of recording from two directions at once (the upper lens is in a fixed housing, but the dual lower lens can rotate and tilt to track movement whilst the auto-framing feature keeps the subject centred). The cams' housings and mounts are reassuringly robust. Every cam features a microSD card slot with weatherproof cover, so microSD cards can be used as local backup storage if desired. Each cam has built-in speakers and mic, allowing two-way communication. Sound quality isn't perfect, but it's fit for purpose.The S4 set includes a 2TB hard drive in a dedicated NVR (Network Video Recorder) enclosure, with space to expand storage up to 16TB. Heavy-duty waterproof cables are also included, as are fixtures and fittings, so buyers don't have to go shopping for extras after the set arrives. Everything that's needed is included.The system has a built-in alarm which consists of flashing bright red and blue lights accompanied by a shrill siren - a combination that's sufficient to deter most would-be intruders.The S4 system also features impressive AI motion tracking and cross-camera tracking. AI detection makes it easy for S4 users to review who was in the vicinity of a property within any selected timeframe. A daily security report shows how many "events" were captured on a given day, as well as breaking this total down to display how many of these events involved humans, how many involved pets, and how many involved vehicles.Video quality is impressive. By default, all footage is captured in full colour, even at night. Other night video recording modes are available, giving users flexibility to choose the mode that best suits their needs.The NVR can be connected to a computer monitor or smart TV in order to view camera footage on a large screen, which is by far the best way of viewing it.With the eufy app installed on your smartphone and/or laptop, you can use those devices to remotely see what your eufy cameras are viewing in real time. You can also remotely control the cams via the app, as well as reviewing historical recorded footage.This S4 system makes excellent use of AI (how many products can that truthfully be said about?). The two main benefits of the NVR's onboard AI are: (1) tracking of people/pets/vehicles that venture within your property's boundary; (2) easy reviewing of recorded video via text prompts which the AI uses in order to display relevant video.This is far from the cheapest security system on the market, but it's one of the best and is worth every penny.

This is a very solid system that has quality components in each aspect of the system. Easy to install and use this is excellent , good value for money and provides outstanding security with very good connectivity.

The eufy Security PoE NVR CCTV Camera System S4 is a robust, hard-wired security system ideal for homes or businesses. The kit includes a base station, four cameras with 18m ethernet cables, a mouse, and an HDMI cable. While a few cable ties would have been a welcome addition for tidier installation, the system comes with all the necessary plugs and screws for mounting.Setup is a straightforward, six-step process. Once the base station is connected to a monitor and network, you simply plug in the cameras via a single Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable, which handles both data and power. A quick firmware update to the base station and app pairing via QR code gets you setup and running quickly. I would set it up on a table before you start wiring things permanently. The base station especially has a short power lead.The base station features a built-in 2TB hard drive for 24/7 video storage, ensuring your footage is private and secure without the need for a subscription. The system constantly records, allowing you to easily scroll back through footage on a connected monitor. For additional features and smart alerts, the excellent Eufy Security app allows for remote live streaming and control of the cameras. The base station can support up to eight cameras, making it easily expandable.My pack included two fixed-angle 4K cameras with a wide 122-degree field of view and two combination cameras. These cameras feature both a wide-angle lens and a steerable 2K lens with an 8x optical zoom. All cameras provide bright, smooth video in both daylight and at night. They deliver clear, full-Color video in low-light conditions without the need for bright LED indicators. The cameras also have a built-in microphone for audio playback, which streams to the monitor or app.The user interface is intuitive, with a clear and bright display. Alerts are fast and responsive, appearing on your phone almost instantly. For wider coverage, the system can be seamlessly integrated with other wireless eufy cameras through the app.
