During the 2020 Eufy Christmas Raffle I managed to win a few new products to add to my Security set up… This was one of them.
The Eufy Cam 2 Skin is a funny product to sell, but when I sat and thought about the product its self, it all made sense. When buying cameras it’s probably not a great idea to tell the criminals what you are using as they can research this and find flaws in the system. By covering up the outside body of the camera you make it much harder to distinguish the brand. This is similar to what DSLR owners do to protect their cameras from thieves also.
Now the case its self is made from silicone and just slides straight over the camera from the back fixing to the front lens. This does mean that you need to take down the cameras to install this but it’s always worth giving them a clean anyway. There is no real protection here as the silicone is soft and no lens protection. It doesn’t even add extra protection for the charging port which I assumed is due to the introduction of the solar panel. There is also still a logo on the side of the case, although this is just a mould impression and can’t be seen until very close up.
Honestly, I wouldn’t have ever thought about buying these and I originally saw them as a waste of money. Now I have them on the other hand, I see the benefits and can’t recommend them enough. I’ve attached photos below of before and after installation and their great.
