Eufy launches 2.5K window‑mount camera with free local storage

Eufy has added a new model to its home‑security lineup: a compact camera that adheres directly to a window, delivering a 2.5K (2560 × 1440) video feed of the outdoors while storing footage locally without a subscription.

The device uses a strong adhesive backing that lets users attach it to glass surfaces from the interior, eliminating the need for external mounting brackets. Once in place, the camera’s wide‑angle lens captures clear, detailed footage, and an included magnetic base holds the unit steady even on larger windows.

Unlike many competing cameras that lock users into cloud‑based plans, Eufy's offering records to a built‑in microSD card, giving owners full control over their video archives. The camera supports continuous recording and motion‑triggered clips, all stored on the card without recurring fees.

Priced at $79.99 in the United States and £69.99 in the United Kingdom, the unit sits in the mid‑range segment, targeting renters and homeowners who want a simple, affordable way to keep an eye on their property without committing to monthly costs.

The only notable constraint is the power cord, which must remain plugged into a nearby outlet. This tether can limit placement options, especially in rooms where outlets are scarce or where a completely concealed installation is desired.

The launch comes as a growing number of consumers push back against subscription‑heavy security ecosystems. By offering high‑resolution video and local storage, Eufy aligns with a broader industry shift toward privacy‑focused, cost‑transparent solutions.

Analysts expect the window‑mount camera to appeal to users who prioritize ease of installation and data ownership. If demand holds, Eufy may expand the line with larger storage capacities or battery‑powered variants that remove the cord limitation altogether.
