Out of the box, the Eufy Solo IndoorCam C24 is noticeably light. Some people may say it feels “cheap.” Well, it is: A $40 security camera that delivers 2K images, has so many storage options, and detects motion, people, pets, and even crying—whether you opt for a paid cloud storage plan or not—was, until now, unheard of. Thanks to that 2K resolution, the Solo IndoorCam C24 offers live viewing and some local recording at a far higher resolution than cameras that record 1080p video, producing video that is crisp and clear day or night. It’s also the only camera we’ve tested that offers four ways to store video: locally on a microSD card (which you need to provide), locally on network-attached storage (NAS) by way of the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), in the cloud via a Eufy Cloud subscription ($30 a year), or in the cloud through Apple HomeKit Secure Video (or HSV, a free video storage service that comes with some paid iCloud plans; see Apple’s site for more info). Although it downgrades the 24/7, NAS, and cloud recordings to 1080p, the images are still clear and detailed. And finally, the camera’s light weight makes it easy to mount anywhere, without sacrificing durability (we knocked ours off a table, and it was fine).
