I have an earlier model in my garage, which I purchased entirely on the basis of local storage and on-device pet/human detection. To its credit, both work well—I have no subscription but can still stream locally stored video to my phone, and the pet detection works surprisingly well—I consistently get a ping when my cat leaves in the morning or arrives in the evening, which is really useful.
I would not put a Eufy product anywhere sensitive since I don’t really trust their security, but for an outdoor camera pointed at areas visible from the street, or an indoor camera somewhere low-sensitivity like a garage, I’ll take the risk.
