eufy Security Indoor Cam E220 | Manufacturer Renewed (Excellent Condition)
The friend who
never forgets
to check.
You leave a note on the fridge because you can't be there. This is the same idea with a lens on it: a 2K pan-and-tilt camera that sits on a shelf, sweeps the whole room, and lets you look in from wherever you happen to be. Help yourself to anything in the fridge.
The numbers, in magnet form
The five things people actually ask before they buy an indoor camera. All taken off eufy's own spec sheet for this model.
Sharper than a 1080p camera, which matters when you're squinting at who just walked through the lounge room.
Motorised. It turns to look, so one camera covers a whole room instead of one corner of it.
About 10 metres of infrared range in the dark. Black and white at night — there's no spotlight on this model.
Record to a microSD card in the camera and eufy charges you nothing per month. Cloud is optional, not required.
Connects straight to your router. No HomeBase, no hub, no extra box under the telly.
While we're away, this one's on the roster
Every house has a list ruled up on the back of an envelope. Here's what the E220 is actually signed up for.
Watch the room properly
2K, 2304 × 1296. More detail than a 1080p camera, which is the difference between "someone's in the kitchen" and "that's Dad putting the kettle on again".
Have a look around, not just straight ahead
Motorised pan and tilt: 360° horizontal, 96° vertical. You can drive it from the app, and it will turn to follow motion on its own. eufy's spec comparison lists auto-tracking on this model as human only, so treat pet-chasing as a bonus, not a promise.
Answer back
Two-way audio. Talk through the camera from your phone. Useful for telling the dog to get off the couch, and mildly terrifying for anyone who isn't expecting it.
Keep looking after the lights go off
Infrared night vision to 32.8 ft (about 10 m). There's no spotlight on the E220, so night footage is infrared black and white rather than colour.
Keep the footage in the house
Local microSD recording, no monthly subscription. eufy also lists optional cloud and NAS via RTSP. A card is not included — bring your own.
Know the difference between a person and the washing machine
AI detection: motion, human, pet, audio and crying. So the alerts you get are more likely to be worth opening.
Only watch the bit you care about
Activity zones. In the eufy Security app: Camera Settings → Motion Detection → Activity Zone → tap +. Draw a rectangle or a hexagon and only motion inside it triggers a recording or a notification.
Look away when you're home
Privacy Mode. eufy describes it as physically rotating the lens to face away and pausing all recording and live streaming, toggled from the app. There's a brief mechanical noise while it turns — eufy says that's normal. See "the honest bit" below for the full picture.
Play nicely with the rest of the house
Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Worth knowing: HomeKit streams this camera at 1080p, and activity zones, pet commands and sound detection aren't available through HomeKit — they live in the eufy Security app.
A house sitter doesn't stop the house from happening. They just mean somebody knows what happened.— the note on the fridge
Things you should actually know before you go away
The stuff that goes in small print somewhere else. We'd rather you knew now than found out on day three of the holiday.
It was somebody else's camera first
Manufacturer Renewed, Grade Excellent. Refurbished and tested by the manufacturer's renewal programme — not by us. Near-new to look at, possible light handling marks, and it arrives in renewed packaging rather than a retail box.
Where an indoor camera should and shouldn't go
Living rooms, hallways, the entry, wherever the dog gets up to things — all sensible. Bathrooms and bedrooms that other people use are not. If you have a house sitter, a flatmate, a cleaner or guests staying, tell them the camera is there and where it points. It's the decent thing to do, and audio recording in particular is regulated differently state to state. We sell cameras, we're not lawyers — if you're unsure about recording other people, check your state's rules.
Privacy Mode is software, not a shutter you can flick
eufy describes Privacy Mode as rotating the lens to face away and stopping all recording and live streaming, switched on from the eufy Security app. There is no sliding lens cover on the body, and eufy's own spec comparison for this model leaves the privacy-mode box unticked even though its support material describes the feature — so we're telling you both. If you want the camera definitively seeing and hearing nothing, unplug it. That one always works.
Indoors only, and it needs a power point
Not weatherproof. Don't put it on the patio, in the carport, or anywhere it can get wet. It runs on a 5V/2A USB adapter with a 6.7 ft cable, so it needs mains power — no battery, which also means it's off during a blackout.
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only
The E220 needs a 2.4 GHz band. If your router is running a single 5 GHz-only network, or your mesh hides the 2.4 GHz band, sort that out before setup day rather than during it.
No memory card in the box
Local recording is the whole appeal, and the card that makes it work isn't included. Add your own microSD before you leave, otherwise you'll be relying on live viewing only.
Night footage is black and white
There's no spotlight on this model, so after dark you get infrared to about 10 metres, in monochrome. If you want colour at night, this isn't the camera.
It makes a noise when it moves
It's a motorised head. It whirrs when it pans, tilts or swings into Privacy Mode. eufy's own guidance says a brief mechanical sound while the lens moves is normal — so a quiet nursery at 2am may not be the ideal home for it.
HomeKit gives you less than the eufy app
Through Apple HomeKit the stream is 1080p rather than the camera's native 2K, and activity zones, pet commands and sound detection aren't available there. Use the eufy Security app for the full feature set.
It's not a baby monitor
It has software-based crying detection that alerts on loud noise, and plenty of people use one in a nursery for a general look-in. It does not have the purpose-built parts of a real baby monitor — no parent unit, no infant-mode interface.
Your warranty here is ours, not eufy's
CamGuard Australia is an independent reseller. The 12-month warranty on this unit is provided and honoured by us, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. It is not a manufacturer warranty and we won't pretend otherwise.
The neighbour's references
Pinned to the corkboard by the phone, in the handwriting of someone who has definitely watered your plants before.
Genuine eufy stock
Real eufy hardware, imported by us. Not a clone, not a look-alike with a similar name.
The grade is on the tin
We grade honestly and put it at the top of the listing, not buried under three headings. Excellent means Excellent.
12-month CamGuard warranty
Ours, provided and honoured by us, on top of your Australian Consumer Law rights. Never presented as a manufacturer warranty.
Faulty inside 12 months? We pay the postage
If it's faulty or not as described within the warranty period, the return postage is on us. No arguing about a $14 satchel.
Out the door in one business day
Dispatched within 1 business day from Townsville, Queensland. Not drop-shipped from somewhere you've never heard of.
A real person answers
Ask us a compatibility question before you buy and you'll get a straight answer, including "no, don't buy this one" when that's the answer.
The appliance manual page
Every spec below is taken from eufy's own product pages for the Indoor Cam E220. Anything eufy doesn't publish for this model isn't printed here.
Will it work with your stuff?
Green magnet yes. Red magnet no. Yellow magnet means read the sentence properly.
Straight to your Wi-Fi
2.4 GHz network, the eufy Security app, done. No HomeBase or hub required.
Apple HomeKit
Supported. See the yellow note below about what HomeKit does and doesn't carry.
Amazon Alexa & Google Assistant
Both supported for voice control and viewing on a smart display.
Local microSD recording
Supported with no monthly subscription. Card not included — you supply your own.
NAS via RTSP
eufy lists NAS over RTSP as a storage option on this model, alongside local and cloud.
Outside
Indoor use only, not weatherproof. Not the patio, not the carport, not the back verandah.
5 GHz-only Wi-Fi
The E220 needs a 2.4 GHz band available. A 5 GHz-only network won't get you through setup.
Battery or solar
Mains powered only. It needs to stay plugged in to a power point.
Colour night vision
No spotlight on this model. After dark it's infrared black and white.
HomeKit is the trimmed-down version
Through HomeKit you get a 1080p stream, and activity zones, pet commands and sound detection aren't available. The eufy Security app has the lot.
Auto-tracking is listed as human only
eufy's spec comparison for the E220 lists AI tracking as human only, while its FAQ mentions following a person or a pet. Buy it expecting people-tracking.
Nursery use
Crying detection is software-based and alerts on loud noise. It is not a purpose-built baby monitor.
Probably not for you if…
Every kitchen has the tin that says biscuits and contains three buttons, a tape measure and a threaded needle. Here's what's actually in this one.
- You want it outside. This one is indoor only and it isn't weatherproof.
- You want colour footage at night. No spotlight here — night vision is infrared black and white.
- Your Wi-Fi is 5 GHz only. The E220 needs a 2.4 GHz band.
- You need it to keep running through a blackout. It's mains powered with no battery.
- You want a factory-sealed retail box on the doorstep. This is renewed stock in renewed packaging.
- You want the manufacturer's own warranty. Ours is a CamGuard warranty, provided by us.
- You want a dedicated baby monitor with a parent unit. This isn't one.
- You want a camera that reliably follows the dog around the room. eufy lists tracking on this model as human only.
- You want a physical shutter you can slide across the lens by hand. Privacy Mode here is an app toggle.
Perfect for anything in here
The good stuff is on the middle shelf, as always.
Going away
A week up the coast and you'd like to know the place is as you left it. Look in from the phone whenever you feel like it.
Pet households
Pan and tilt covers the whole room, so you can find the dog rather than guess where it went. Two-way audio for a word if needed.
Checking on the house sitter's handiwork
Not to spy on them. To confirm the plants got watered and the back door got locked.
Renters
eufy pitches this one at easy placement: a power point, Wi-Fi and no separate hub. Sit it on a shelf, take it with you when the lease ends.
People allergic to subscriptions
Record locally to a microSD card and there's nothing to pay monthly. Cloud is there if you want it, not if you don't.
One camera, one whole room
360° pan and 96° tilt means one unit instead of two fixed cameras pointed at different corners.
Smart-home households
HomeKit, Alexa and Google Assistant all supported, so it slots into whatever ecosystem the house already runs on.
Older parents, at a distance
A hallway camera you can both see, with two-way audio, so a check-in doesn't have to be a phone call they might not answer.
Anyone building up slowly
No hub means no big first purchase. Start with one room and add more later if you want to.
How to work the camera (laminated, so it survives)
Four steps. The kind of thing you leave out for whoever's minding the place.
Plug it in
Use the supplied 5V/2A USB adapter and its 6.7 ft cable. Pick a shelf with a power point in reach and a view of the room.
Add it in the app
Install the eufy Security app, sign in, add the camera and join it to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. No hub to set up first.
Put a card in
Slot in your own microSD card for local recording. This is the step people skip and then wonder where the footage went.
Draw your zone
Camera Settings → Motion Detection → Activity Zone → tap +. Turn the phone landscape, drag the corners, tick to save.
What's in the box
Laid out on the laminate like you're about to assemble something on a Saturday morning.
eufy's retail contents list for the E220 is the camera, a 5V/2A USB power adapter, a USB cable, a mounting bracket, a screw pack and a quick start guide. Renewed stock ships in the manufacturer's renewed packaging rather than the retail box, so the printed paperwork can differ. If anything from that list is missing when it lands, tell us and we'll sort it out.
A microSD card. Local recording is the reason most people buy this camera, and the card that enables it is a separate purchase — grab one at the same time.

Notes back and forth
Tap a note to see what got written back.
What does "Manufacturer Renewed — Excellent" actually mean?+
It means the camera was owned and used by somebody before you. It then went through the manufacturer's renewal programme, where it was refurbished and tested, and it came out working to spec. That testing is the manufacturer's, not ours — we're not going to claim credit for a process we didn't run.
Excellent is our top renewed grade: near-new to look at. There may be light handling marks if you inspect it closely in good light, but nothing obvious in normal use. It arrives in renewed packaging rather than the retail box.
How worn will it look? Be honest.+
On an Excellent-grade unit: minimal. Sitting on a shelf across the room, you would not pick it as second-hand. Up close and under a good light you may find faint handling marks on the housing — the sort of thing that happens to any object that's been picked up a few times.
What you won't get on this grade is deep scratches or obvious scuffing. If you'd rather pay less and accept visible cosmetic wear, look for our Grade Good listing of the same camera — same model, same warranty, more marks.
Do I need a HomeBase or a hub?+
No. eufy is explicit that no HomeBase or separate hub is required for the E220 — it connects directly to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and sets up in the eufy Security app.
Is there a monthly fee?+
Not for local recording. eufy states that recording to a microSD card requires no monthly subscription. Optional cloud features are exactly that — optional, and priced by eufy under their own cloud plans. The card isn't included, so budget for one.
Can I stop it watching when I'm home?+
eufy describes a Privacy Mode you toggle in the eufy Security app: the camera rotates the lens to face away from the room and stops all recording and live streaming. A brief mechanical noise while the lens turns is normal, according to eufy's own guidance.
Worth knowing honestly: there's no sliding shutter on the body, and eufy's own spec comparison table for this model doesn't tick a privacy-mode box even though its support material describes the feature. If you want certainty rather than a software promise, unplug it. It's a mains-powered camera, so that's a two-second job.
Will it follow my dog around the room?+
Maybe, but don't buy it for that. eufy's spec comparison for the E220 lists AI tracking as human only, while its FAQ mentions the camera following a person or a pet. Where eufy's own material disagrees we quote you the conservative version. Pet detection is a separate thing and is listed for this model — that's about alerts, not about the head turning.
Can I put it outside under the eaves?+
No. eufy is blunt about this one: indoor use only, not weatherproof, not designed for any environment exposed to rain or moisture. North Queensland humidity and a wet season will finish it, and that isn't a warranty claim.
Is it a baby monitor?+
Not a purpose-built one. It has software-based crying detection that alerts when it hears loud noise, and plenty of people put one in a nursery for a general look-in. There's no parent unit and no infant-mode interface. It also whirrs when it moves, which is worth thinking about in a room where something is trying to sleep.
What's the warranty, and who honours it?+
A 12-month CamGuard Australia warranty that we provide and honour ourselves, in addition to your Australian Consumer Law rights. It is not a manufacturer warranty — we're an independent reseller and we won't imply otherwise. If it's faulty or not as described inside those 12 months, we cover the return postage.
Starting a return is easy: message us, tell us what it's doing, and we may ask you to read the serial number off the base so we can match it to your order.
What if I just change my mind?+
You have 30 days from delivery. Send it back unused and complete, you pay the return postage, and the original shipping isn't refunded. No interrogation about why.
How fast does it ship?+
Dispatched within 1 business day from Townsville, Queensland. Australia Post Express is included on every order over $99.00; under that it's $9.95 flat tracked, or $12.95 to upgrade to Express.
