How’s the solar in cloudy UK? Currently have Ring cameras with solar panels and even in the dead of winter with no direct sunlight, it manages to keep the cameras always charged at 100%. Looking to replace them with Eufy and do away with the Ring monthly plan.

more storage for recording and slightly better face recognition.

[@robsalvv5853]

Also much better, less scratchy, more dependable play back.

[@bnbkennels]

Good video! The most important thing for me to have known would have been that the camera only detects motion in it's center field of view. So you are only getting motion detection on about 110 degree viewing angle. It will track out of field once the motion detection picks something up but if they never walk into the cameras main field of view no motion will be detected, so no trigger to record. I have a large parcel and hoped that this would help cover more area per camera but it does not. Eufy support states that adding eufy motion sensors to the outer angles will not work, either. Great camera for standard sized lots or properties that are only accessible from one side.

[@jasunto]

I see you have a synology. It would be cool if they could record to surveillance station or at least off load backups to the synology with an app or plugin.

[@ModernDayTech]

Some of there older camera had a NAS feature but I think they took that away so they could sell & force people to use the HB3.

[@grumpySafa]

I have a homebase 2 and have it backup to my qnap Nas where I have it saved on there for 1 year so don't have to worry about the limit of 16gb. I probably could have bought a cheap usb drive but that just becomes more hassle.

[@ModernDayTech]

​@@grumpySafa That's pretty sweet. Are you techinally backing up the HB2 to the NAS somehow (i don't see that option) or are you doing RTSP from the camera to your NAS, which I read on reddit you can do both, a HB2 and RTSP to a NAS? If are backing up the HB2 directly, how are you doing it? Unfortunately, eufy's newest cameras with dual lenses (like this one in the video) don't have an RTSP/NAS option at all.

[@grumpySafa]

@@ModernDayTech I setup this around 2019 when Eufy was still in it's infancy. Also on my Qnap I got a free Qsurveillance license to use their application. In the application you can scan for devices or manually type in the configuration info. I put in my homebase IP and after setting it up I started capturing the footage. It didn't pull in historic files, only newer captures.

Should I have the Power Source set to Solar Panel or to battery? Under which circumstances should i change?

[@ModernDayTech]

The last I heard, the Power source selection only turns off the indicator light to preserve battery life if you’re using the panel

[@abhishekkumarsingh4431]

the problem in a big house is that 1/2 of the cameras won't be in reach of Homebase so they need to be connected directly to wifi, hence no centralized recording. Eufy must give an option/extension to Homebase so that all the cameras are stored at a single location.

Is there a wired version of this camera? If not do you know the voltage that the solar panel produces? I'm guessing if I could match that voltage I could just use a power supply to constantly charge the battery.

I live in Chicago. Will this hold during Winter time??? And how will this affect the solar panel & the battery during cold weather?

[@ModernDayTech]

They are rated for -4°F to 122°F / -20°C to 50°C. Understand the nature of solar, its even more important for good sun placement during winter months due to less production and shorter days.

[@mariviclexus5141]

@ModernDayTech thanks for ur reply. I was just curious if this is worth buying during winter months and also due to its expensive price. I was also looking into AOSU Solar Camera Security for a lower price. I was comparing between the 2 of them.

[@yuidfbse]

Thanks a lot for the video! I have two ongoing worries with all these cameras and systems. What is the actual and usable range of the cameras to the hub and the reliability of solar charging performance? All systems like I tried the cameras never charge enough and all end up without power during overcast days and worse, never have enough range to connect to the hub unless they are very near. I have a ranch house where the cameras outside are all very far away from each other and the hub and this is all useless and never works. I am yet to find ONE wireless camera security system that actually works unless they are old fashion wired systems.

[@saddlebrookehomeownersasso5007]

Can you embed live playback on to a web page?

[@ModernDayTech]

Keep in mind that this is a battery camera. You would kill the battery in no time if you keep the live feed on, but yes there is webpage but you have to go into the app first to authorize the live feed for 1, 8,12,or 24 hours. Kind of lame in that department so if you want something you can keep on all time, you should look into POE cameras.

When the storage reaches capacity, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest recordings with new footage, ensuring continuous operation without manual intervention.

I have a s40. It sucks. I live in central america always sun and the battery wont last 2 week. And than the worst part. Once its empty the solar doesnt charge the battery so u have to get on the ladder again take the cam off charge it put it bavk. Also the alarm zones cant have different settings. Like on the outside of the gate i want just the light to go on. But when movement on the inside is detected the alarm has to go off. The wifi is also not that strong. I figured out what drains the battery. Everytime a car passes at night the headlights give off a heat signal. And i cant turn the cam further away else i wont see the gate anymore

[@ModernDayTech]

Yes almost all smart cameras these days have notifications and event logs. Most are clip recordings and not recording 24/7. You want to compare how long clips will be stored and how you can access them. Some companies charge fees to access and store them in the cloud and others store footage right on the camera. There’s some other options too but just know almost every camera system has notifications and event log. You’ll want to research other factors since they pretty much all have the basics you just ask for.

[@kallem-e5d]

Does it work in Sweden in the winter?

[@ncbrady]

It depends on how much sun you get, in South Sweden where I live it's not great and 2 of my cameras will need manual charging, while the other 2 are surviving so far (since dec 5th). The device will work as long as the battery has life but when the battery is dead, then no it won't work without you intervening. You can always "charge" it yourself when it gets to 25% using one of those phone charger thingies and a usb-c cable. The charge state is revealed in the Eufy Security app, so you can monitor that

[@bigmike4133]

Can you install it upside down on a flat surface like a roof?

[@ModernDayTech]

Physicall yes, If you're handy, you can jerry rig it to a roof top once you remove the solar panel and place it elsewhere. But there is no way to turn the footage 180° in the app that I have found. Also the extra heat from the roof will kill it in no time, so I wouldn't recommend it.

If recording to the base station. And I don’t pay for their cloud storage. How do I access my footage when away from home?

[@ModernDayTech]

Hey Tony, according to the FAQs, it will only record on the HB3 once you designate it, not both. To view footage that might have been recorded on the camera previously, you'll have to disconnect the HB3 to see the camera's storage. You can still access the HB3 via the Eufy app remotely. Remember, cloud storage is different from cloud access. I hope that helps.

So to clarify. Will it record continuously or only if there’s nothing when concocted to the base station.

[@ModernDayTech]

@@TechWithTony I'm not 100% sure what youre asking but it's not 24/7 "continously" recording. It only records to the base station when it sees motion.

@TechWithTony They say their wired cams record 24/7 and these battery/solar cams record on detected motion/people/pets and so on.

[@TheOnlyPhilRider]

clearly not ideal in the uk looks smart😂is it apple home kit compatible with icloud + storage?

[@ModernDayTech]

Yeah, I've never been to the UK but Ive see a lot photos. It always seem cloudy.

I installed Lan cables in my house for a security system. Then this came along and I no longer needed those Lan cables, nor do I even need an alarm.

[@Gandoff2000]

Can you put an SD card in it?

[@ModernDayTech]

No, it has 8GB internal memory for your clip recordings. You can also sync this with the HB3 that can save your clips up to 16TB.

[@blkrazorback1970]

16gb

[@mjohnson6703]

Does it have vehicle or pet detection?

[@ModernDayTech]

Yes and No. It has vehicle and pet detection in beta when you have it synced with the homebase 3. Although its in beta, its works pretty good. But without the HB3, no it does have specifc detection, just normal detection of any movement including vehicles and pets or anything else.

It doesn't read vehicle plates

[@sterlgirlceline]

I cannot get the QR code to scan in order to add this camera along with the rest of my Eufy cameras. Just bought the HomeBase so hopefully that will work. I tried everything: IOS up to date, deleted and reinstalled the Eufy app, checked iPhone settings. Tried on both my iPhone and brand new iPad…no luck. I have installed several, other Eufy cameras seamlessly.

[@ModernDayTech]

Contact eufy support.

[@deebutch5762]

is it reliable?

[@ModernDayTech]

Yes, I love it, but understand that placement and a good understanding of the device are paramount. You need great WiFi and sunlight at the location. You can not mount it too high, and it's only for clip recordings. Do your homework and make sure you buy it from a place that has a great return policy just in case it's not for you. But as you can read the reviews, it's mostly positive, but it's definitely not perfect. Nothing is.

[@deebutch5762]

thank you appreciate your input.@@ModernDayTech

[@DeeDee-rr3sn]

Did you buy this camera?

[@ModernDayTech]

Watch 00:33

[@davidandrews8007]

This camera is for motion security not continuous tapping.

[@saidadelreal4750]

I have the Eufy 2 pro wireless. And it's basically a live feed. It doesn't record ANY night activities. All our cars have been broken into. This camera recorded NONE of it !!! I'm about to go to Ring.

[@greenreaper1985]

Sounds like you set them up wrong

[@Mr.frag-out]

If anything ever goes down? 😅

[@htschultz]

For $200 (I think the price is still high), I'd like to see either more internal memory/storage (16-32Gb) or the ability to install a larger capacity SD card (and while I currently have 4 other Eufy cams around my property, I have zero desire to invest in a Homebase).
