Security Cameras FAQs

What type of security camera is best for my home or business?

For most homes and small offices, combine an indoor camera for key rooms with outdoor security cameras to cover entries, driveways or car parks. Wireless cameras suit DIY installs and rentals, while larger businesses may prefer wired or NVR‑based camera systems for continuous 24/7 recording.

Do I need Wi-Fi for my home security cameras to work?

Most smart home security cameras and many business systems use Wi‑Fi so they can stream video, send alerts and back up clips to the cloud. Some camera systems can still record locally to a microSD card or NVR if the Internet drops, though you will not receive remote notifications until the connection is restored. For the simplest setup, choose wireless cameras and make sure you have strong Wi‑Fi coverage where you plan to install them, or consider a 4G option if you do not have a fixed internet connection.

Can I view my wireless security cameras remotely on my phone?

Yes, most eufy home security cameras sold by Goodbuyz are designed for easy remote viewing through the eufy Security app on compatible iOS and Android phones. Once your cameras and HomeBase are set up, you can check live video, review recorded clips, receive motion alerts and adjust settings from almost anywhere with a data or Wi‑Fi connection.

Are security cameras weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use?

Outdoor security cameras are built to handle the elements, with IP ratings such as IP65 that help protect against rain and dust. When monitoring a driveway, front door or loading area, choose cameras specifically labelled for outdoor use, ideally with night vision or built‑in lighting for clearer footage after dark. 

How long do security cameras record for?

Recording time depends on resolution, motion levels and storage type, but many eufy security kits sold by Goodbuyz can store weeks of motion‑activated clips on a HomeBase using efficient local storage. Cloud plans, where available, may keep longer histories for a fee, while cameras using microSD cards record until full, then overwrite the oldest footage. For busy spots like front doors, choose a home security camera with adjustable recording length, motion zones and quality settings.​
