Does it only support HomeKit or HomeKit secure Video?

I heard from another content creator that there are circumstances where you can’t get 4K recording. Do you know what circumstances this might happen? Your explanations are very clear and helpful. I enjoyed your presentation.

[@HughD]

Excellent, Brian!!! I have two older Eufy 2C cameras, one solar-powered that I bought simply because they are the most recent cameras with native Homekit support. I like that because I use Apple TVs for streaming and Homekit cameras pop up on the screen when motion is detected. I really hope the S3's will get Homekit support and hope you'll do another video when/if they do. By the way, showing the 3rd party mount options was really a good idea and appreciated. Thanks.

[@AutomateYourLife]

@@HughD thanks so much Hugh! I'm sure they will have Homekit right away. All the basis for it was in the app now

[@HughD]

I see it is released today and boy is it pricey! It's probably worth it, though. I was hoping for a one-camera system, but both Eufy and Amazon systems start with two cameras. I guess I'll have to just "want" one for awhile and just keep using my two excellent Eufy 3C cameras.

@@forye unfortunately, I can't tell you that, but I can say that I have yet to be in a home that I couldn't get the base station to communicate to one of the cameras. And I'm always placing them on the edge of the home. So it's quite far no matter what, but I don't know that there's an improvement there

[@AutomateYourLife]

I still don't see that feature. You won't need to buy anything except something to power the camera full time (USB-C cable end) and it should enable it. But again, not available yet.

Awesome, thorough review! I have a brick house, how difficult would it be to get the brackets into brick? What's the warranty since I'm also in Canada and we'll hit those -30 C days! And if I buy the 2-pack, can I add more cameras to the setup afterwards?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Difficult! I had them in that temp. Did just fine but the warranty wouldn't cover issues caused from uses in that. The batteries drain faster for sure, but they seemed fine to me. And yep!

[@CockpitScenes]

Great review with lots of information I need. I am probably going to buy this system. I now have three older Nest powered cameras that I record 24x7. They work great, but I want to add more cameras where they are not easy to power. These would work, but I would miss the 24x7 recording. I have two questions. How long can you run the live stream? How long will it record a long event?

[@AutomateYourLife]

You can run the live stream basically for as long as you want. The app will complain a little bit I've never been kicked out. As for the event, 2 minutes straight and then a 5s break. Then 120s again! They should have a 24/7 recording option for you soon if you power them with USB c though

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Great video, very helpful. I've ordered the 4 camera kit and cant wait to set it up. I like to keep my networking/home stuff in the master bedroom closet so it can be on a battery backup, it will be near my wifi router though, I'm hoping it wont have much signal interference. If it does, I guess I'll be forced to move it. Thankfully I have network ports in every room.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Nice! Any port should do with these really! They're not piping a lot of data through the network really, which is a huge benefit!

[@tbucks1000]

What's is the fastest SSD drive you recommend for the Eufy s pro3? I'm gonna get the Eufy s3pro 5 camera package. Best buy has a black Friday deal and maybe I'll get lucky with hard drive you recommend on price as well. Hot you have a nice holiday

[@AutomateYourLife]

Ohhhh, I can't give you a recommendation on the fastest drive there. Truly, I don't think you need that fast of a drive for this unless you're going to be connecting a bunch of cameras for 24/7 recording. In that case, I like Samsung SSDs personally. They've been really reliable and last year...that's what Eufy sent to me for a review. So that means they've tested it and like it with their gear.

[@zacharyjohnson7192]

Hello from a fellow Canadian, AYL! Just confirming after setup with internet does the ai detection, presence detection, triggered recording and notifications work if your on the local network and the internet goes down. Looking to pick this up with 4 cameras and run on solar only with posibbly plugging it in, in the future with 24/7 recording.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Hey Zach, I didn't test the notifications but the recordings continue as it's a contained network

[@TwitchingEye747]

Eufycam S3 uses 1 GHz while the new S3 Pro uses 2.4 GHz to connect to the base. S3 has more range but doesn’t’t have 2 way audio while S3 Pro has 2 way audio and ability to send more data which equals more features but shorter range.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Good info! Yes some other cameras use other ranges 😃👍

[@technut1994]

Is there an adjustment where you can set the spotlight to come on when it detects close motion?

[@sendo427]

I love your reviews when it comes to smart home devices.

[@mahmoudsamir7228]

thanks for your explain and effort but can i connect many home base with one control device because i need connect many and different area and location with one device ? and is there download any video recording and with any size minutes ?

[@AutomateYourLife]

It's 1 Homebase for many cameras, not the other way around. The limit on length of download of recordings...I don't know!

[@mattwade4209]

Very comprehensive review. Thank you.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Thank you!

[@coryscomputerrepair]

This looks like a HUGE improvement over the SOLO S40 CAMS that I have. The "Decrypting from local storage" has been irritating. Motion detected, full preview, click on it and the "Decrypting from local storage" takes so long, anyone stealing something would be long gone before I could view what the system detected and that's assuming the clip loads and doesn't error which happens a lot.

[@AutomateYourLife]

It's been pretty impressive so far! That thing you're describing though could be weaker connections between the cameras. Maybe check if there's some interference?

[@coryscomputerrepair]

@@AutomateYourLife "Decrypting from local storage" is not a connection issue. It is what Eufy implemented when getting called out for not encrypting their data. Some android users have side loaded older versions of the Eufy security app before this setting was implemented as its turned on by default(cant disable it) within Control Center>Video Encryption>Local Storage Encryption in the current versions of the app. The option to disable it is greyed out. The Solo S40 does not use the homebase so the decryption is done within the camera itself, which might have something to do with it.

[@AutomateYourLife]

@@coryscomputerrepair oh that sounds right from the camera standpoint. I forgot those didn't use the bases

[@coryscomputerrepair]

@@AutomateYourLife Yeah, I realized after the fact its a big deal as the bases, at least the Homebase 3 has a quad core CPU in it that handles all the decrypting which is why its almost instant to play. Do you know if the live view timeout is still around 30 seconds before it stops playing? That was an annoyance prior if we wanted to keep it on for an extended period of time.

[@BunkerProductions]

So I have ordered the power cables to wire these in, will it then do 24/7 recording?

[@AutomateYourLife]

It's still not in the app for me.

[@gmac2.0]

Thanks for the video. They sound great compared to the drop out Logitech I'm using, however, Eufy has decided to release the 2 camera plus hub package in Australia starting at $1600AUD ($1050 USD converted)! That's double the price on the US Eufy site. In fact all packages are double. Do they not know that a quick Google search shows this? That alone will have me passing on these Eufy products.

[@AutomateYourLife]

That sounds like a reseller. Why don't you try a parcel forwarding service? Just watch the plugs!

[@RikiSea]

Hi😎 Does older Eufy system eufy cam 2Pro work with this new one. ?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Depends what you mean by work. I think they can connect to the same Homebase but do a quick check with Eufy on that

[@JoseCruz-nt1mu]

Can you please show how to set up to record 24/7?

[@AutomateYourLife]

I would if I could! Doesn't yet show up in the app for me.

[@stevejohnson5033]

Great video, as always. With all the talk of WIFI jamming. These cameras are not immune to such attacks, are they?

[@AutomateYourLife]

They wouldn't be, no. They use WiFi at 2.4 GHz to get back to the base station. Tough to do much else with cameras (5, 6 GHz are other options).

[@r.l.8170]

Unless you go POE, there's almost no way to avoid WIFI jamming. That is where Eufy keeps failing. All their cameras will shutdown with WIFI jamming.

[@ericjansen9042]

Have you tested motion detection through windows, with the radar sensor?

[@AutomateYourLife]

I didn't. It would definitely mess up the PIR part and I believe it wouldn't work with the window. It would at least be less reliable

[@islandsnow]

I have a homebase 3 or s380. Is the new s380 a new and improved homebase or do I currently have the latest? If it’s an upgrade can you do a video comparing the old s380 and new s380?

[@AutomateYourLife]

@@islandsnow you have the latest!

[@chrisweeksnz]

If you have a more complex home network, can you force home base 3 to use Ethernet and the cameras to only connect to an existing WiFi network? I specifically would like to know if you can disable the home base WiFi adapter? I don’t want an additional base station to consume channels that are already all in use.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Sadly, no. Different Eufy cameras use different frequencies though, so maybe look into that

[@chrisweeksnz]

@@AutomateYourLife thanks for taking the time to answer my question! 🙂

[@DJ_Dave_Montoya]

With what is already out there regarding Eufy's security issues, has there been any investigation done on whether or not the S3 and the base station addresses them? I really like the concept of wireless solar powered 4k, my difficulty in trusting the vendor however is keeping me from getting them. Also, does Eufy say how many cameras can be paired with the base station? The video shows two. Is that the limit?

[@AutomateYourLife]

14 is the limit per homebase, so it's a lot :). I don't know that it would work as well at that level though! As for the security issues, I've seen some addressed and that's why I was willing to make this video. It's hard to say everything's patched up and that would be impossible to prove. They've made clarifying statements about privacy too, which I'd say was one of the biggest gaps during that whole fiasco. I feel better, enough so to show them to you. Doesn't mean you have to trust them!

[@MarcioTheGreat]

@@AutomateYourLife Thanks!

[@dennispohlmann6504]

Explain the difference/advantage of having radar detection? How is it different from pir?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Sure! PIR needs movement and sees Infrared. Can get false positives but can also miss minor changes in IR. Radar captures objects in an area, and does so regardless of movement. It's a presence sensor for outdoors. When applied, both of those options turn on the camera. Then the camera analyzes and decides to record and notify or not. So they'll catch more!

[@thesmartI]

Fantastic camera set. $550 is a bit steep though

[@AutomateYourLife]

You know, I didn't have that kind of a drain down. Do you maybe think you were getting a lot of activations from the motion sensor? These ones have a counter in the app but I don't remember seeing it with the S330's I had. So depending on how often they are triggering based off the PIR motion sensor, you might have a fast drain down. I'm sure some of it was winter (lots), but I never had it drain down like that.
