What's Inside Eufycam S330 4K Security Cameras? Find Out!

[@ProjectFarm]

Another fantastic video! Thank you!!

Todd was here!

[@leokimvideo]

Never knew there was a water issue with these cameras. Alarming indeed.

[@sapelesteve]

Excellent video eNm! I always wanted to know what was inside one of those units. Thanks! 👍👍

[@fattysgarage1754]

Been having some weird thing going on with my s330 also. I decided to finally take it down and when I shook it, I could here water inside. I wanted to saw it in half also, but now I don't have too. Thanks for this video!

[@iblackfeathers]

eufy cameras tend to have a sleeve-like enclosure design on many of their products. there was a “teardown “ instructional on how to physically disable the microphone by sliding it out after removing a friction bezel so you can finally reach the connector to unplug it. wyze has a similar enclosure style with a slideout and top seal on their outdoor wireless cameras.

[@ericg6859]

Thanks for the video.........I just set up my Eufy Cam S330 (eufyCam 3) system. I have an older Netgear router and Samsung tablet I dedicated to just the wifi for the Eufy. Once I got everything setup and all firmware/app updates installed I disconnected the lan cable to the dedicated Netgear router for the Eufy, the Red light will come on the Eufy base station indicating it lost connection to the world wide web but the system works just fine capturing events. I do not plan on using cloud storage or remote viewing so the only time I plan to connect the Eufy router back to the internet is for firmware/app updates.

Really helpful video. The battery on our Eufy E40 just died (just two months after the 1 year warranty was up). So, I'll see if I can get into it and replace the battery

[@brithor52]

On the older eufyCam Solo Pro (model T8131x) non-solar model, just remove the four rear screws (must pull up the bottom corners of the rubber cover to access the two bottom screws) then at the front, pry between the white case and the black bezel (if that's what you want to call it) until they separate. You'll see a black o-ring seal. I exchanged the lens (due to moisture on the inside of the exterior glass) from a parts donor camera. The trickiest part of that is to release the big ribbon cable at the horizontal board end by flipping the black part of the connector up from its rear facing edge. Note that the connector at the other end of the ribbon releases differently. Its black part slides out rather than flipping up. Once you get to the front (vertical) board, release the lens cable plug, remove two screws, then pull the lens assembly straight out. There are alignment pins. If all you do is exchange the lens assembly, once put back together, the unit should be back on line if that was the status when you unplugged the battery.

Hello, thank you so much for your video. Do you think you can do this for the Homebase3? I would like to add external siren to upgrade the sound of the ridiculus alarm. Do you know how we could do that ? Thank you

[@rm-paradise]

Great video - thanks for taking the time to make for us. Nice clear shot of the battery specs. My search came up empty. Did anyone find this battery online?

[@LostInLeiden]

did you find one in the end?

[@rm-paradise]

@@LostInLeiden Nope - nothing. Had camera on solar, in winter the panel wasn't getting much light. Ended up manually charging it. Seemed to do the trick.

[@paranoidzkitszo]

​@@rm-paradiseHe said 13,000 mAh, and those batteries are 3.7 volts - a standard amongst "modern tech"... 3.7 or 5 volts...the latter being less common, with 9, 12, 20, and 40 volts being standards. 12-volt applications, think LED lights. 12 and 20 volts, think LED again and things like misters, or those smelly diffusers/aroma misters/foggers, maybe fans, and handheld vacuums. 40 volts, think lawn and garden: rechargeable mowers, blowers, whackers, and the like. Oh...in that 12-20 volt product range, include 16 volts, and now we are looking at cordless tools, drills... You can easily find batteries, especially when it comes to the 3.7-volt variety. And say you did get one and the device ended up being 5 volts (can't see it being that or anything higher), no harm done since it'd be less. Now if you got a 5-volt battery and the device is rated for 3.7 volts, then you could possibly fry the circuit. I say possibly because there are tolerances when it comes to these types of things, typically 5-10%, leaning more to the lower end to be safe. This is primarily due to the batteries themselves having similar variances in spec, where a labeled 3.7-volt battery, when measured, may have 4.1 volts new and after being freshly charged. So, 3.7volts 13,000mAh In regards to the mAh

[@AliEcbatani]

Really thank you for the perfect depiction of what was going on inside the camera. By the way, can I ask whether the tiny hole in the back of the camera was to access the reset button manually?

[@andrec.136]

I was wondering the same thing. I am searching for an answer as well.

[@normalizedaudio2481]

I've been thinking about deconstructing some of my many broken cameras.

[@bohamadq8]

There are many events that passed in front of the camera and were not recorded... What is the reason?

[@szenyanistvan]

The night vision stopped working on myne. The IR leds working fine, but not makeing that clicking sound when turn on and off the NV. I think that another lens mechanically pop in and out dead. I hoped you make this far in the disassembly. Can we fix this part guys?

[@electronicsNmore]

Try a firmware update using the app by clicking on the camera and going into General to see if there are any firmware updates. If the firmware is up-to-date, and you tried resetting the camera by holding the button-down for at least 15 20 seconds, the camera is more than likely faulty.

[@jerrygeorgopolis8015]

Excellent ! Thanks for the video

[@pinkyfloydyfan1]

So, just put a tape on the bottom button and it will be full waterproof?

[@zahidhouston]

Thanks for the video.

[@sammieseoul5544]

can you do one for the s340?

[@FreedoomRock]

I have a s220 which doesn't charge anymore, don't understand why we can't change the battery, there's no YT video doing it. Good vid thanks

[@JT-lq4yd]

You were right, all the "gravity" was the battery module. Is there a way you can test the power output from that solar panel?

[@electronicsNmore]

I don't think it's that high. Maybe 200 milliamps

[@JT-lq4yd]

@@electronicsNmore I was wondering if the solar panel would keep the battery charged.

[@mplsmnpi]

Got water in it, do you recommend anything

[@RandomBogey]

1:21 I had my iPhone X sitting near the sink while I was washing some dishes and accidentally splashed some water into the counter. Three drops of water hit the phone; two on the screen and one drop landed right on the seam the between the bezel and screen right above the front facing camera/Face ID. I didn’t think anything of it because it was, at the very least, supposed to be water resistant, so I kept washing. Afterwards, I picked the phone up to wipe it off and in doing so, pushed on the screen which caused air to bubble up through the drop of water at the top of the phone. I wiped it off but any time I pushed on the screen water would spurt out. I turned the phone off and because I’d just ordered a new battery for it, literally like that night or the night before, I opened the phone up to let it air dry. When I got the screen off, it was obvious the seal in that spot was probably never fully seated because the adhesive seal and the top probably 1/4 of the inside of the phone was covered in dust. I dabbed up as much of the moisture as I could see then left it open to air dry until the new battery showed up a couple of days later. Thankfully, for the most part, the phone was fine afterwards, but Face ID never worked again after that.

[@friedryce]

Did you try cleaning off the board to see if it'll start working again? Just curious if rubbing it down with some alcohol or some electronics cleaner would revive it.

[@electronicsNmore]

Not worth the trouble. There was even moisture inside the camera lens

[@Buddy-po4hv]

Thank you sir! This was a great help!

[@Edmorbus]

Thanks for sharing

[@JujuCoco-j7j]

thx a lot for this helpful video this video

[@javieraparicio7698]

I assume this happened within the 1 year warranty? Otherwise it is highly likely Eufy would not have provided a replacement. I had an experience where Eufy did just that. My doorbell camera malfunctioned right after the year mark! For the price of these cameras you’d expect better support and a longer warranty. As of today Eufy has refused to do anything about my situation. Buyers beware!

[@skulduggery7028]

He said he had been using the system for 6 months then he noticed the problem. @21 seconds.

[@javieraparicio7698]

Yes you are correct. 👍

[@TopCat2021]

As usual great video, thanks for sharing.

Great tear down video.

[@william38022]

We have the S 40 Solar Camera our first one had to be replaced in the first few months the replacement we have now is working however we have to bring it into the house every so often and recharge it today it said camera off-line so I took it off the garage and brought it in the house and I was thinking it needed recharged it’s cold and we had a few overcast cloudy days I was thinking that’s probably what it was however I noticed to the right and to the left of the lens where the lights are those compartments are full of water.I think it’s over a year and a half now so we own it Eufy’s not gonna make it right. I guess I’ll have to buy another one we depend on the entire Eufy system around our property and I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to not have to pay a monthly bill.

[@vinylnutter]

Mine don't work batteries only last for 2 to 3 weeks

[@vicmills7702]

Can you take these cameras apart without cutting them. I want to get at the battery so I can work on it. But don't want to cut it up

[@electronicsNmore]

Watching the video would be very helpful

[@electronicsNmore]

@@vicmills7702 Clearly you have not, because I showed in the video.

[@vicmills7702]

Got it I have taken a part perfect and can't see any water damage. Is there any re set in these cameras. I have the older version of the camera, 4 screws at back and broke seal around the front lense etc and it slid out. Camera isn't charging etc. Any ideas thank you

[@mackjsm7105]

You know that front cover pop right off?.. It is a ring cover. 4 screws.. and the ENTIRE camera will be exposed.. Not sure why you cut it.

[@electronicsNmore]

Did you even watch the video? No

[@mackjsm7105]

I realize that you figured out this after you cut it. FOrgot to mention that.. yes I did watch it. @@electronicsNmore

[@pc600]

Same as my question? Why did you cut off the camera!!

[@MAGAMAN]

If you care about privacy or and security, never use a wireless or internet connected camera. Don't be lazy, run some wires and find a place for the DVR. This way you won't have the police showing up at your door for misgendering someone on TV.

[@Crusaderhun]

You are right, but eufy does record locally in your house on the home base. Of course its still connected to the internet just like many NVRs

[@dandruff7807]

Can this security camera be used as a webcam?

[@NEL.50N]

seems like a waste of tech. no

[@NEL.50N]

you can share a view link that people can watch, so in that sense, yes but not in the standard sense

[@dbee77]

Mine fogged up ,so brought them back and got 2 replacment under warranty. Now I have the same issue again .They won't replace them this time. Don't buy ,they won't even last 6months without fog.

@@electronicsNmore Its surprising how many people come up with crap comments. I often am like you and open things, and once you've opened the first you can see how its put together, they assemble in a clever way that you can't see how its put together. Great video!! :) Don't get bothered by the haters.

[@MB-ye4el]

What a useless video, title should be "amateur tech autopsy of a broken Eufycam". You say "very easy to work on"? You destroyed the housing by cutting it open with a carborundum disc to open it up and you didn't "work on it" either.

[@electronicsNmore]

If you'd like to see useless, take a good look in the mirror. The camera was going into the trash, I had zero intention of repairing it because the company sent me a replacement. This was one of the first videos showing the internal components, as well as how to disassemble the camera without cutting it open(For those who actually watch to the end).
