If, like me, you’re using the Eufy Floodlight Cam 2 to replace an underperforming outdoor light, you’ll be extremely pleased with the result. It’s easy to pose its two floodlights to provide full illumination to a patio area, or good light to the rest of a small to medium garden. They’re powerful lights, but using the manual controls you can adjust them down to quite a low level, more suitable for an evening gathering outside. On the surface of it, the camera itself offers comparatively basic motion detection features. You can add up to two activity zones, letting you exclude, say, a public path next to your front garden. There’s a choice of All Motion detection, or human-only filtering through the on-camera AI. This won’t recognise a specific person, but it does let the camera filter out pets or the movement of shrubs or litter. The Eufy Floodlight Cam 2 makes a good first impression. Mounted onto a large junction box, its two metal floodlights are highly poseable thanks to two ball joint connectors, similar to those on the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro. The camera is on the large side, in part due to its wide infra-red motion detector, but the whole thing feels well made. Although much more visible than a simple outdoors camera, its all-white finish should look smart on the side of most houses or outbuildings.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t say the same for the motion-activated floodlights. These are controlled by a separate infrared sensor for which you can’t set up exclusion zones or adjust the sensitivity. Our parasol triggered so many false alarms that I had to disable the feature. The lights’ sensitivity was fine with the parasol removed, but it’s a shame that they’re not controlled by the same AI and exclusion zones that work so well with the camera, or have separate motion control as you get with Ring’s Floodligth Cam. With the parasol gone, infrared footage was sharp and detailed, without too much blur on moving objects. No, the floodlight camera is a standalone product which connects to users’ home WiFi networks.But it is in plan. Please stay tuned! I configured the activity zones to exclude a parasol that billows in the breeze, after which I found I needed to drop the sensitivity by one notch. After that, switched to human-only detection, I experienced no false alarms and no missed events over a period of several weeks.
