How to setup eufyCam 3 (S330)

Getting a smart camera like the eufyCam 3 (S330) is an excellent way to start creating a smart home, but how simple it is to set up determines if the smart device actually gets used or traded out for one that does not require setup.
This video is a complete walk-through of the setup process for the eufyCam 3 (S330).

u did a great job : just what we needed, no expensive software nor time consuming editing on ur side, just the essentials thanks !

[@mhmdsulami]

My friend its me again 😅, all of a sudden the homebase has restarted on its own and nothing appears on the app . Now when i try to setup the system and add the homebase i get this message “unabel to add homebase3” even though I followed all the steps it fails at the last step “ press the SYNC/ALARM button untill it beeps “ and it does but then nothing happens! I even tried using the reset button still nothing happens! Thank you for your support.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

That might be a little beyond what I can help. You hit the areas that I would have suggested looking into. At this point it might be time to contact eufy tech support.

[@versa319]

Does this device work with Apple HomeKit?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

It does not.

[@Itisme007.5]

Thank you for the video. Does the home base have to stay connected via the Ethernet cable to the modem all the time?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

After the setup processes the Home base can be set to operate over WiFi, letting you place it a little better then if it had to be connected to Ethernet.

[@iamviewer]

I've seen a video where it's said that when the homebase is connected to WiFi, it won't record 24/7 feeds, just clips (like motion detected event etc.) is it true ?

[@Jodvix]

I am planning to buy eufy cam 3 4k. I want to install one outside and one inside the house. Will ot work the one inside the house ? Even there is no sunlight direct to the solar panel.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

It would work but it would not keep the battery topped off if it does not have access to sun light.

[@ndub5781]

So I have a mesh network which covers the whole house and my outdoor patio. However, when I do the setup, it wants it to connect to the router Wi-Fi. After I do that, I cannot connect my additional cameras to the hub unless they are on the safe Wi-Fi signal. Any way around that?

[@mikesantos9069]

Lo resolviste ? Tengo el mismo problema …. Ayuda

[@gilltim5711]

How do you then connect Homebase to the router via wireless? I could not find a wireless option on my unit.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

You need to set it up via hard-wired first. Then, you will get the option for wifi after you do a firmware update.

[@gilltim5711]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips Interesting. I did initially hard wire to my router and set up the cameras, then disconnected hard wire and moved my Homebase across the house to the window closest to the camears. Then I looked on my software on my iphone, but did not see an option for wireless. I'm guessing I should have looked for this option while Homebase was still wired to the router?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

@@gilltim5711 Yes that is correct. It still needs to be wired to select the option to be wireless.

[@gilltim5711]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips Thanks! 😀

[@Rafael-w4v]

What supposed you buy something solar but you needs plug the base to the electricity that's the more wrong deal I gonto return my camera because no works with my 5g wifi

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

The cameas are solar powered the base station needs to be powered some how. If it stays inside it really can't be solar powered. 5g wifi is what your cell phone uses, unless you mean 5ghz. In which case there are not a lot of cameras out there right now that use that spectrum.

[@JP-qb6mp]

I have a dual band router 2.4 and 5 ghz , i have connected through a wire my home base first ,then i wanted to connect it through the wifi however it says that my wifi supports 5ghz (not true ) i even turned off 5gjz for the purpose of connection with my router and still nothing ! Another time i tried and it says that my eufy app and router may not be on the same wifi settings ? Have you experienced that ? Thx

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

It sounds like you could have a wifi router that uses the same name for 2.4 and 5ghz. Which could cause that "issue". As for not being on the same network, I have had that happen if I am on my guest network or still on cellular data and not my wifi.

[@JP-qb6mp]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips great thank you

[@vrk4052]

Hi, can you connect this to an external monitor as opposed to only being able to view the camera on your phone?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

You can not. Eufy does have a web portal but you will need a actual computer to look at it.

[@khaledzouaghi7043]

how many meters can the camera can conect the home base i ean the distace between them

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

Very dependent on wall type it needs to go through but I have had it as far as 21.81 m when I was testing.

I just received our new home base 3 we currently have a home base 2 with 3 cam2 cameras currently working. Do i have to take them all down and hold them near the new home base 3 and reinstall them again?

You may be able to leave them in place, I just happened to need to move these closer to get them to pair.

Hi i have a old eufywireless doorcam 2k after i changed broadband now my chime cannot sync to the doorbell cam. I want to ask if i buy the homebase 3 that i can connect that to my doorbell cam and then have my echo 8 as a chime

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

I know this might be making this very simple but when you changed broadband providers did they use the same wifi name and password you had setup before?

Hi please can I ask if the home base has a built in fan? Is it noisy?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

No fans, just vents. Very silent. The most I hear is the hard drive spinning up in it from time to time.

[@rajagan1130]

Hi Thanks, can homebase 3 do continuous recording if extra storage is added eg CCTV Thanks

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

It can not. Meant to just store clips from cameras attached to it.

[@tabithakadri9152]

Can you plug the homebase to your existing router or does it require a special router box.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

Yes you can. You do not need an extra device that it plugs it into.

Can you do a video of how to add older eufy cameras to home base 3?

Hello my friend, I just bout the 3c system and i keep receiving notifications from camera because of the TV , how can i stop notifications coming because of TV

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

When you say you get notifications from your tv is that because the camera is pointed at the TV?

[@mhmdsulami]

⁠yes , the TV is in the living room and the camera detects the faces and motion in the TV and send me notifications

Hi. Do you know how can I check the signal strength after installing the camera? I want to look for the best placement with a high signal strength but I don't know how to see that option that appeared during the installation of the camera. Thank you

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

There is a little icon when you click into the settings for the camera next to the charging icon should look like a wifi signal icon. this shows you the strength of the connect. It is not as good as the one during setup but should give you a pretty good idea.

[@EddyBenalal]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips Thank you. I saw that one but I thought that I could reach the one during the setting of the camera. Thank you for taking care!

[@MrGomerpyell]

So you just buy a hard drive and install it. That's it? Nothing to download?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

Nothing extra to download as you already would have the eufy app. The drive would then just need to be formatted then it is good to go.

[@Dawood.Q]

Question, dose the camera connect to the homebase directly or via the network? Means can i hide the homebase somewhere at the house where it’s connected to the network and the camera outside connected to the same network? Or the video feed going directly from the camera to the base without going to the home router? Other question do you know if it’s still not supported with iCloud+? Thanks

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

The home base after setup does not need to be hardwired to your access point after set up. It can connect over wifi. The means you can place it where you like after the fact. Cameras connect over the homebase not your access points wifi. iColud is not supported as far as I know.

[@hybridmods4228]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips so to be clear i have to plug it up to the router via ethernet but than after everything is setup, i can unplug the base from the router and still access cameras and recordings with the app? My router is full so i dont have another port to keep the base plugged in.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews_Clips]

@@hybridmods4228 There is an option in the app that you will have to change first. But after that the home base can work over WiFi without taking up a port on your router.
