Home Security Camera Outdoor Trail

Works excellent not only as a trail camera but as a security camera at my cabin.

A couple of years ago, I bought my first, SpyPoint, cellular trail cam. Magic! I’m not alone in using trail cams as passive cottage security, rather than for hunting. (After 50+ years, I had my first break-in in 2016, and purchased a regular trail cam afterwards.) I own a small, remote island in northern Ontario, about 700km from my home. Obviously, it is inaccessible during winter (...you know...ice). It is also solar powered, and all cottage power is shut down in the off-season, and sometimes between visits. There is no wi-fi, of course. Standard security cameras, such as those blanketing my home, are useless, there. My first, SpyPoint cellular trail cam allowed me to see real-time activity at the island, and it changed the game. Instead of waiting to get to the island to view the SD card, I suddenly had daily peace of mind that everything was okay. I’m not super-concerned about trespassing, but rather a tree falling through the roof of the cottage, or that kind of thing. In 2020, when the dock broke-free of its winter moorings after we’d already closed-up for the season, camera 3 alerted me, and I made an emergency trip to fix the dock, mitigating potential greater damage if it had been left ‘til Spring. Before SpyPoint, every Spring, as I neared the island, my stomach would be in knots, wondering what I might find. Now I can SEE that everything is okay, from the comfort of my living room. I see the deer, and the ice-fishing folks traversing my island with their sleds, to get to their spot. Whatever. It’s all good. I recently purchased my fifth SpyPoint camera for the island, and am here to purchase one as a gift for my sister, who is retiring to her rural cottage. I can’t recommend SpyPoint cellular cameras enough. Economical. Convenient. Peace of mind. What’s not to love?

I bought this for property security. And I am not an authority on trail cameras. I will say this camera has a lot of features which I was looking for in a non cellular security camera. The menu is versatile and it is easy to navigate.

Bought this for more as a security camera than a trail camera. It works well, fast photo shots and not bad quality photos and even better when converted to HD.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quite some time now I have research security cameras and since there so many on the market I was looking for a camera with easy set up and some type of technical support and it would be an additional bonus if it was cost efficient. Then I came across the Eufy Security Outdoor Camera and it is a great asset to making our home feel secure & safe. The camera was packaged very well & the set up was at a minimal. Notifications were instant with the Eufy Security Outdoor Camera and the picture, sound, and light are very clear with excellent image quality. Also the night and spotlight responsive provides visible setting. I am ecstatic about the Eufy Security Outdoor Camera and would definitely recommend it.

I now own 5 of these camera. I have had excellent satisfaction from all. I use them for wildlife viewing and home security.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been thrilled with my ecobee Home Security Bundle. Installation and configuration could not have been easier or more intuitive. Mount the sensors, open the ecobee app on your phone, step through adding the new device, and the security bundle was up and running in a couple of minutes. One of the things I like about ecobee products is they appeal to a wide range of Users. You can keep it very simple, or you can integrate their devices into a larger ecosystem for home automation. I also purchased the SmartCamera as part of the ecobee as part of the Home Security Bundle. And I already have an ecobee Smart Thermostat with Voice Control. These devices integrate through the ecobee App to create a very simple to use home security network for added peace of mind. And the Autopilot feature automatically takes care of turning on/off the security system and setting the thermostat to home/away as you come and go from your home. What a simple but effective design.

Camera does everything I could ask for in a trail camera

Excellent home security camera with great features. Easy to use and setup.

I needed to connect an outdoor wireless security camera to Wifi but the signal on the main router wasn't strong enough to penetrate a thick masonry wall. The TP-link solved this problem. I set it up inside at the wall needing signal penetration but in line with the router. It worked perfectly - having a booster closer to the camera did the trick.
