eufy’s $159.95 window camera avoids drilling. Check the glass first.

A camera for the window you already have

Mounting a security camera outside can turn a small purchase into a weekend project. eufy’s Window Camera E10 takes a different approach: put the camera inside, against the glass, and point it out at the driveway or entrance.

The Australian store lists it at A$159.95 on preorder as checked on 7 November 2026. The E10 appeared in Anker’s September IFA announcement, so this is an Australian availability update rather than a claim that the product was unveiled today.

There is a timing wrinkle. The store’s banner says shipping starts on 15 November, while nearby copy describes delivery around that date. Those are different promises. Treat mid-November as an estimate and confirm dispatch and arrival timing before relying on it for a trip away.

Check the view before the resolution

The E10 uses an adhesive mount on interior window glass, with a manually adjustable downward tilt of up to 25 degrees. It records at 2.5K resolution and offers colour night vision. Its wraparound front and anti-reflection stickers aim to reduce glare.

That arrangement could suit a renter who wants to watch a front path without drilling into the building. It also makes the available window part of the buying decision. A convenient pane is not much help if the frame cuts off the doorstep or the camera mostly sees the neighbour’s fence.

Eufy recommends ground- or first-floor placement. Its FAQ warns against broken, frosted or patterned glass, close-up monitoring within half a metre, and high-floor angles that create larger blind spots. Thick double- or triple-glazed windows can still produce edge glare.

Before ordering, look through the proposed window during the day and after dark. Check indoor lights, blinds and the actual approach to the door. Keep the view focused on your property and check any relevant tenancy or strata requirements. No-drill mounting does not make every placement appropriate.

No battery charging, but there is a cable

This is a plug-in camera, with a supplied power adaptor and three-metre USB-C cable. Dual-band Wi-Fi supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections. The practical test is whether a power point and reliable Wi-Fi reach the useful window, with the cable safely routed.

Continuous recording is supported to a microSD card of up to 256GB, bought separately. Eufy says core AI detection, recording and alerts do not require a subscription; optional cloud storage is available. Add the card to your budget rather than treating the camera price as the complete setup cost.

Local storage also deserves a careful reading. Eufy says selected cloud features, including backup and thumbnail notifications, send footage or thumbnails to the cloud. Choosing a microSD card does not make every possible app feature entirely local. Decide which notifications and storage options you actually want before enabling them.

A useful option for the right window

The camera works standalone, so a HomeBase is not compulsory. Eufy lists support for HomeBase S380, Mini and Professional, but not S280 or Apple HomeKit. Existing eufy owners should check their exact hub rather than assume the brand name guarantees compatibility.

Eufy’s Australian warranty policy lists 12 months for security cameras. That manufacturer warranty does not replace statutory consumer rights.

I like the idea for a modest entrance-monitoring setup, especially where outdoor mounting is awkward. I have not tested the E10’s night footage, detection accuracy or adhesive removal, so these are buying considerations rather than a hands-on verdict. Start with the window, power point and scene you need to capture, then use Compare’s security-camera comparison to weigh it against an outdoor model.
