But other than that, I had no real trouble with any of the Eufy’s features, aside from the typical trial and error of figuring out which settings worked best for me. I had sustained problems downloading recorded clips from the camera to my phone, as well as the occasional network drop. It wasn’t all smooth sailing with the Floodlight Cam 2 Pro. A standard PTZ wheel lets you scan the area manually, or you can swipe right on the primary screen to load a panoramic image of your surroundings below the live display. In use, the camera works as advertised, with intuitive controls for real-time viewing and lens movement. As with other floodlight cams, the physical installation is much more daunting than the wireless setup, especially if you need a ladder to do the job. In any event, I encountered no trouble with the setup process, which involves downloading the Eufy Security app, scanning a QR code, and walking through some basic steps, followed by a firmware update. For its part, the Eufy manual says you should set the camera up “safely inside your home” before venturing with it outside. Why did Eufy opt for such an odd procedure? Perhaps to let the user perform the initial setup closer to the router, although for my money, I’d like to know from the start whether the Wi-Fi signal is going to be an issue. This is achieved by plugging in the unit via a Micro-USB connection (a cable is included but not a power adapter), which gives it temporary juice for installation. While most devices in this category are mounted and then configured, the Eufy system is unusual in that you’re supposed to set it up inside, before you ever connect it to your electrical system. $249.99 at Amazon | $249.99 at Best Buy Setup and installation
