Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The eufy Security E40 is a wired PoE kit: an 8-channel network video recorder with a pre-installed 2TB hard drive, plus four 4K bullet cameras, listed at £410.99. It sits at number 10 in this guide.
Its numbers hold together, which is not true of every set here. The listing's own spec table gives a video capture resolution of 4K (3840x2160), matching the 4K UHD in the product name — where the 12MP Reolink set's table lists 2560x1944. Two details are less tidy. The stated night vision range is 26 feet, while the same night-vision bullet claims a picture crisp enough to read a number plate, without saying at what distance. And the final bullet, on storage, stops mid-sentence at "upgradeable to 16", so the unit is unstated. The 5.0 rating rests on 18 ratings. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.
