You Can Set Up a Eufy Security System for up to 59% Off Right Now

You Can Set Up a Eufy Security System for up to 59% Off Right Now

Security cameras can get expensive, especially when you add in the cost of monthly subscriptions most of them charge. Eufy is one of the few brands that doesn't force you to get a subscription plan with them to be able to use their cameras. Right now, Amazon is having a sale on Eufy products going up to 59% off. Here are the best ones.

The Eufy Security Kit

The Eufy Security Kit brings you the basics to get started. I got this kit about six months ago and have been enjoying not paying monthly services to use it. It brings the battery-powered Eufy Security Video Doorbell S220 2K (which can also be hardwired) and the Eufy Homebase hub, which connects the camera to the Internet via your home router. You can get the Eufy Security Kit for $99.99 (originally $199.99) after a 45% discount and a $10 clip-on coupon. This is one of the lowest prices I have seen for this kit.

The Eufy Floodlight Cam E221

This Floodlight Cam E221 is cheaper right now than it was after last year's biggest discount. You can get it right now for $89.99 (originally $219.99). As I've previously said, here's what you can expect from this floodlight camera:

As with any smart floodlight, you’ll get to keep tabs on your property remotely with 1080p footage, motion detection, and bright LED lights. Arguably, the best thing you get from this floodlight camera (and any Eufy security camera) is the absence of monthly service fees, which can easily save you hundreds of dollars a year. However, a trade-off that can be good or bad, depending on your preferences, is that the lack of a monthly service means the device saves its footage on local storage rather than the cloud, which most of the competition uses. It has 4GB of eMMC memory, which can store up to 14 days of video. If that doesn’t seem like enough to you, know that you can expand the storage to 30 days for one device by signing up for their $2.99-per-month Basic Plan (which defeats the purpose of having no monthly fees).

The Floodlight Cam E221 works with Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands, allowing you to set up routines and cast videos to Amazon or Google devices (you must talk to the smart speakers, not the floodlight camera). However, it doesn’t support any other platforms like IFTTT or even other Eufy devices. It is very much a standalone product, but it allows you to connect to your home’s wifi and control it with the Eufy mobile app. And since it’s wired, there’s no need to recharge it.

The Eufy Security Outdoor Cam E210

If you're looking for a single outdoor wired camera that is easy to install, waterproof, and has night vision, an automatic spotlight, and has no monthly fee, consider the Outdoor Cam E210 for $44.99 (originally $79.99). This is one of the lowest prices I have seen for this camera. You just need to install a magnetic mount and pop the camera in—and make sure you're within 20 feet from a power outlet so the cable reaches it. You can choose whether to use local storage with an SD card or use the cloud-based feature for a fee. The cloud can also be used to back up your local storage. You can read all the features and specs from Eufy's website.

Eufy cameras are great for anyone looking to save money on their security system and cut monthly fees. These aren't the best security cameras, but for their price and lack of subscription fees, they can make a solid addition to most homes for less money.

How to Download All Your Media From Google Photos

Image
Cloud storage has changed the way we take care of our data. In the past, you needed to backup and transfer files between devices directly, or else you wouldn't have them in multiple locations. If you took photos on your iPhone or Android, for example, you'd often want to plug it into your computer to make sure those photos were both backed up and easily accessible for sharing with friends, family, and the internet at large. The problem is, we've changed the way we deal with data these days. If you plug your smartphone into your computer expecting to transfer all the photos and videos you see in your photos app of choice, you might be surprised to find that only a fraction of the images actually make their way to your PC. It's confusing, considering that media is accessible on the phone: Why can it just be a seamless transfer? Google Photos makes it confusing to know which images are stored on-device That's exactly what happened with Reddit user Spax123 , who took

The Best U.S. Cities for Tech Jobs (Aside From the Obvious)

Image
Working in tech no longer means having to live in one of a handful of increasingly unaffordable cities, like New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco. Instead, as jobs involving artificial intelligence and product security, among other areas, continue to grow, cities that weren't previously considered tech hubs now offer opportunities for both tech-related employment and affordable living. Here are a few examples, compiled using data from job market reports and cities, as well as input from tech recruiters and hiring managers. Bentonville, Arkansas Perhaps best known for being Walmart's home city, Bentonville has been on the rise as a tech center for the last seven or eight years, according to Eóin O'Toole, a tech recruiter and managing partner at Riviera Partners . In addition to the big-box store giant, O'Toole says that there's a "surging ecosystem both directly and indirectly related to Walmart," as well as other major employers, like JB H

How to Choose Between Alexa and Google Assistant

Image
If you’re looking to have a hands-free experience with your smart home, you need a voice assistant. By merely talking in the direction of a device enabled with the assistant, you can get information about the weather, time, local businesses, or anything else from their knowledgbase. You can control smart devices or send an email or SMS, and it’s all done by interacting vocally with the assistant, who speaks in a human-ish way. There are three well-known voice assistants: Siri, which is exclusive to Apple devices, Alexa , which is operated by Amazon, and Google Assistant . Since people are generally Apple or Android loyalists , it makes sense that if you run Apple products, you’d stick with Siri for your assistant. For everyone else, which voice assistant should you choose: Alexa or Google?  When it comes to smart home technology, there are two factors to consider: the hub you’ll use to connect your smart devices so you can control them, and what voice assistants you might want to use
