Anker EufyCam 2C Pro Add-On Camera

Anker EufyCam 2C Pro Add-On Camera

The Anker EufyCam 2C Pro Add-On Camera is a wireless outdoor security camera that suits households already running a HomeBase 2 system. It expands an existing eufy setup with an extra vantage point, such as a side gate or a garden shed. This add-on camera suits anyone who wants more coverage without buying a whole new hub.

Technical Specifications

Camera Performance

• Resolution: 2K (actual capture resolution; scales to 1080p when viewed through HomeKit).
• Field of view: 135°, wide enough to cover most single entry points.
• Night vision: Built-in spotlight plus infrared mode for low-light and complete darkness.
• Motion detection: AI-based human detection distinguishes body shape and face patterns from general movement.
• Weatherproofing: IP67-rated housing, rated for a -20°C to 50°C operating range.

Power

• Battery: 6,700mAh built-in lithium-ion pack, rated for up to 180 days per charge under typical use. However, alert frequency and video quality settings will shorten this figure.
• Charging: Micro USB cable (included); an optional eufy solar panel accessory also works for continuous top-up.
• Charge time: Approximately 5 hours for a full charge from empty.

Storage & Connectivity

• Local storage: 16GB eMMC on the HomeBase 2, sufficient for approximately three months of typical recording.
• Encryption: Additionally, AES-128 data encryption applies to footage both in transit and at rest.
• Network: 2.4GHz Wi-Fi link between the camera and HomeBase 2; no 5GHz support.
• Hub requirement: Works only with eufy HomeBase 2. It does not work with the newer HomeBase 3 that powers eufy’s 4K camera lines, so confirm which hub you already own before ordering.
• Hub capacity: One HomeBase 2 supports up to 16 cameras and 16 sensors in total.

Physical

• Mounting: Two screw mounts included in the box; for instance, one works well under an eave and the other on a flat wall.
• In the box: Camera, mount, Micro USB charging cable, user manual.

Use Cases & Applications

The EufyCam 2C Pro Add-On Camera works well as a second or third camera for an existing eufy system, rather than as a standalone starter kit. Since it requires HomeBase 2 to operate, first-time buyers without that hub should consider a full starter kit instead.

Can This Camera Work Without a HomeBase?

No. The EufyCam 2C Pro depends on HomeBase 2 for internet connectivity and storage. Additionally, it cannot connect directly to a home Wi-Fi router on its own.

Does It Support Apple HomeKit?

Yes. The EufyCam 2C Pro works with Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Assistant. However, HomeKit viewing caps video resolution at 1080p rather than the native 2K.

How Long Does the Battery Really Last?

Eufy rates the 6,700mAh battery for up to 180 days per charge. In practice, frequent motion alerts or high-quality recording settings will reduce this figure.

Can I Expand Storage Beyond the Built-In 16GB?

The HomeBase 2 supports NAS integration for extended storage. For instance, households recording frequent events may prefer this over relying on the built-in eMMC alone.
