About to buy Eufy outdoor cameras – Any reasons to not get it based on my wants?

About to pull the trigger on the 2 camera + homebase 3 kit for Eufy, but I maybe wanted a second opinion incase I missed anything from the reviews I watched / read. I’ve been looking at all of the wireless options. Don’t want to go with a wired option as I’m renting and there are no outlets. I also move a lot so wireless seems easier to bring around. Eufy looked like a good option aside from the security issue. I currently have a Eufy doorbell and lock too so having one app to do everything is nice.

However, the privacy is maybe a concern. I’ve been thinking about removing my doorbell camera too. I’m still wondering how much I really care about that. My main priority is some form of security. I mainly really care about:

  • Wireless so I can easily install + move it every year

  • Solar so I don’t have to take down and recharge

  • Local storage so I don’t have to pay for a subscription

  • If possible, a camera doorbell and a smart fingerprint lock so I can have everything in one app.

Eufy seems perfect for me, but not sure if there are any other options that fit better. It’s $550 for the 2 camera kit so I’m looking to do something around that price range. I did look at some stuff like Reolink and Wyze and Blink but they didn’t seem as good. Maybe I’m missing something.
