Samsung Smart Things Outdoor Security Camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going from an old ElGee 2020 model this one is stunning! The color depth and clarity is something to behold in person. The black levels, as I have the settings set, is literally rivaling an OLED nearly. I have a 45x microscope that I look at 4k screens with amd this one has 4 times the pixel density of my older one. This VA panel in this tv has 8 pixel subsets in every pixel wheras my old tv has 2 per pixel. I'm not sure the technical term but I can see with my own eyes the Samsung has a much sharper picture and that's saying something bc the old one has a beautiful picture...it just also has a melting and cracking backlight diffuser which is NOT a problem with Samsung TVs I understand so for that I am thankful. I really love how it integrates into all of my other Samsung stuff with Smart Things. I can tell my tv to find my phone. How awesome is that? I can tap my phone on the top of my tv and automatically transfer the music that's playing on my phone to my tv which frees up the phone to do other cool stuff. It has a light sensor in it which can be configured through Smart Things to make the tv do stuff depending on light level. So I can turn it on or off, when the light is bright or dim, based on predefined Routines. I use a streaming stick to offload all the processors heavy lifting and in practice it extends the life of my tvs by nearly double. But the processor in this tv is so stout it's not really even necessary. In short I LOVE it. I finally have my Samsung TV!

I bought this Camera because I own the Ecobee IV Smart Thermostat With a smart room sensor and 8 individual room temp sensors and I am so impressed with the thermostat I purchased the camera to pair with it as soon as it came out! All of Ecobee’s products have the highest security rating per Consumer Reports so I don’t have to worry about a hacker hacking into my security system and breaking into my home taking my belongings!

[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 love them but I bought two that have the same remote signal so I can’t use the remote for either I have to use Smart Things. That’s my only complaint tho. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Eufy Security Smart Lock C210 came well packaged with easy to follow paper instructions. The installation was easy to do and the set up was a breeze with the Eufy app. Overall, the lock is good quality and has good security features, such as sharing access, access lockout after too many failed attempts, push notifications, and code scramble. The convenience of being able to access my home with the keypad, app, or physical key makes this lock extremely versatile and gives me peace of mind. Additionally, I like the ability to create different codes for visitors or family that may need access to my home, which can be removed when access is no longer needed. I can also share access via the Eufy app which is great as well. I am impressed with the Eufy Security Smart Lock C210, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to add security, convenience, and peace of mind to your home security practices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ecobee makes a wicked-good smart thermostat—one that doesn’t require an “optional” subscription to get the most benefit. The Ecobee SmartCamera has some really great features, too, but a security camera that can’t preserve forensic evidence of a crime—unless you’re willing to pay a monthly fee—just isn’t a good home security value. A security camera with a built-in siren is a great idea, too, but it won’t be very effective at deterring an intruder if it only operates when you push a button on your smartphone. Ecobee does get a thumbs-up for its privacy considerations: The Autopilot feature that turns the camera off when you’re home, and on when you leave, is an excellent feature. Integrating an Alexa-powered smart speaker was a good decision, too. But there are so many security cameras that are better than this one, even if they aren’t also smart speakers.

It is excellent camera that can be set as security or baby monitor one. Connected with smart Ecobee thermostat, it is even getting better as you have all in one app, everything that you need, add on top sensors and it makes complete security and home monitoring system. 100% recommend it.

Have had the door/window sensors with the Smart Camera with voice controls for a few weeks now and have been very surprised with the performance so far. We currently have a wired home security system we have been thinking of replacing, and think we will be going with the Ecobee Security. When one of the doors is opened the Ecobee sensors actually notify my phone a half second before the wired alert from our current system, very impressive. Also love these sensors have motion sensors built in, big plus and help. So far the only flaw we’ve seen is that the camera will go “offline” and cannot view live video, but it seems to still records when someone enters in front of the camera and the sensors performance has not been effected by this. Usually a quick unplug/restart of the camera fixes this, but would like to find out if this is a widespread issue or just my camera doing this. Overall very happy with these products and will be testing the security suite to see how well it performs, and also plan on upgrading our AC Thermostat with the Ecobee one as well.

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.

I'm using this microSD card on my outdoor security camera, and it's perfect for my needs because it's wearproof and temperature-proof. It came with an SD adapter, which is a great bonus, making it easy to transfer footage to my computer whenever needed.
