Whether that means smartphones, watches, smart home products, VR gaming systems, or anything else that we cover, our reputation relies entirely on how accurate our coverage of a product&#8217;s positives and negatives<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>That&#8217;s why, with a heavy heart, we must announce that we can no longer recommend Eufy cameras for your home.  We&#8217;re working hard to update all of our camera guides and will be removing Eufy \u2014 a sub-brand of Anker \u2014 from each one, a process that&#8217;s made more difficult by the fact that Eufy is often our number one recommended camera in each guide .<\/p>\n<p>This comes after days of unearthed scandals<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span> have rocked the sizable Eufy community, with many responding by destroying their Eufy security systems.  While many of us won&#8217;t go that far, we also can&#8217;t recommend buying a new Eufy camera until those security issues are fixed.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t been following the saga, here&#8217;s the TLDR: Eufy&#8217;s cameras aren&#8217;t as secure as they have claimed for years.  With the right information, anyone can watch video from your Eufy camera, however remote of a possibility that may be.  They also upload some data to the cloud that customers were previously unaware of, although the company has issued an apology and has updated its product language in the Eufy app to better clarify which settings will trigger a cloud upload.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Eufy issued a second statement on December 2 that doesn&#8217;t exactly address any of the issues we&#8217;ve seen and seems a little tone-deaf, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;eufy Security adamantly disagrees with the accusations levied against the company concerning the security of our products. However, we understand that the recent events may have caused concern for some users. We frequently review and test our security features and encourage feedback from the broader security industry to ensure we address all credible security vulnerabilities. If a credible vulnerability is identified, we take the necessary actions to correct it. In addition, we comply with all appropriate regulatory bodies in the markets where our products are sold. Finally, we encourage users to contact our dedicated customer support team with questions.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-if-i-have-a-eufy-camera-at-home-3\">What if I have a Eufy camera at home?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got a Eufy camera indoors, it&#8217;s likely best to unplug it and put it away for the time being.  While it&#8217;s highly unlikely that anyone would ever be able to tap into your camera&#8217;s footage \u2014 there are just too many specific pieces of information someone would need to gain access \u2014 the fact that this is possible is a breach of trust in Eufy&#8217;s products.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I recommend never having a permanent indoor camera<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span> in your home.<\/p>\n<p>If you have outdoor Eufy cameras, you&#8217;ll need to assess your feelings and come to your own decision.  I have a few Eufy cameras setup in my yard to help watch over my chickens and bunnies and will <em>note<\/em> be removing them.  Even if someone gains access to my cameras, I&#8217;m not exactly worried about the privacy of my outdoor pets.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-stop-your-eufy-camera-from-uploading-to-the-cloud-3\">How to stop your Eufy camera from uploading to the cloud<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2048px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.35%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"A Eufycam 3 with HomeBase 3 in black and white\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/androidcentral\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"A Eufycam 3 with HomeBase 3 in black and white\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/androidcentral\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qEPBQTJBTWwQHvVEtwm2oE.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich \/ Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Part of the current scandal involves Eufy cameras uploading thumbnails of faces and environments to the cloud without user consent.
