Hi all. Just a little clip of what the performance is like when you unplug the WiFi antenna from HB3. My WiFi mesh network is a 3-unit Tenda Nova MX12. It’s been running reliably like this for a few months now. I have 6 cameras connected to HB3. My doorbell is old so it’s not attached to HB3.
No firmware update to screw with it, today was actually quieter in terms of recording triggers. Nice and sunny today, it was operating fine until about late afternoon. 5 other cameras didn't have a power drain. All S330 except one s340. Seems to be holding at 14% we'll see what happens tomorrow. About 4 weeks out of the box and working fine except today's...blip
It seems like every time I need to look at something time-sensitive on my cameras it takes 30 seconds for it to pull up the live video feed. But when I'm just checking them randomly, it's almost instantaneous.
Sometimes when I get a notification that there's something seen and I click it it just fails to load the clip.
My theory is they are you using the same technology the big printer companies use so that a printer stops working as soon as you need it.
For real though has anyone figured out how to fix this?
My wired one seems to pull up more reliably than my wireless solar powered one.
Buy eufy if you want headaches, if you like to worry, if you want to feel unsafe, you want endless back and forth conversation with their support, and to have argument with their not so smart AI live chat.
I had a spare eufy Indoor Cam S350 and opened it up to appleyu
Just thought id share this for your viewing pleasure. There was attic access in our closet and this little guy came into it just as i was opening the door to grab another shirt. I ended up catching him with my fishing net and setting him free outside. No harm was done to the poor fella.
Please help me understand why this system does not work as expected before I return it all.
I am a little upset that I spent all of this time installing these and climbing ladders to pull them back down to test them indoors (next to the homebase unit), get them "working", then reinstalling them only to have a new issue arise. Then rinse and repeat that process over and over and over tyring to make something that states it has Wifi and a DVR, but all of the equipment that comes in the box, does not work together?
Please explain this to me because I can't imagine that this is the intended use case, where people buy a kit and you can use one piece or the other and when you do, you can't even use your mesh network which covers hunders and hundreds of feet in distance in lieu of the homebase wifi that covers 40 square feet (with no walls impeding the signal).
I have the E42 SoloCam bundle with additional S230 cameras (that I bought for perimeter locations but cannot use because its more than 20 feet from the homebase)
Did a google search and hit the link, but it redirected immediately to the main page. But it listed on Amazon as a bundle. This is the Canadian Amazon page. Any other searches will bring up the Video Door Bell C31.
I can not connect it to home base 3 , all the other cameras connect without problems but the doorbell simply does not give the option for home base, it sends me directly to the wi-fi , any tips??
I have hb2 but I don't have it linked with the Solo cam s340. I have home-based too but I don't have it linked with the s340. Was wondering if I should get a hb3 and would it would perform better?
Hallo zusammen!
Gibt es für die Eufy Türklingel (T8210) Ersatzakkus zu kaufen? Habe bei Amazon welche gefunden, dort sind die Bewertungen allerdings nicht sehr gut.
Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!
Also the bullet-to-PTZ tracking just outright doesn't work. Brand new S4 firmware updated (that was a nightmare too). This isn't giving me the warm and fuzzies of being reliable.
I've been having ongoing battles with my S340 and HomeBase 3, so I thought I'd post a better news story.
I wanted to monitor my cats eating habits, as one of them has an allergy, which the vet attributes to chicken, so I bought an S350 to monitor the food action. But one of them became constipated in the meantime, so I stuck it up to monitor a couple of the litter boxes to make sure the laxative worked. Of course the cat used one of the other litter boxes, but an E30 should have caught that.
To the point, I'm impressed with the motion detection of S350, it catches cat motion at the limit of its range. The video, sound detection and motion detection all seem good. Now if Eufy doesn't screw up the firmware I'll be happy. Of course the cat that uses that box is freaked out by the camera, some BS about privacy. Bastard.
I also have multiple E30s that I'm happy with, but they occasionally suffer from the video decryption disease, which I attribute to the HomeBase 3.
My nest hello gen 1 kicked the bucket a few months ago and I'm without any cameras.
I was about to pull the trigger on the c31 doorbell, but saw that the s4 doorbell is being released soon...
My requirements are
24 hour recording (no subscription)
Balanced aspect ratio/picture size....not tall and narrow and not wide and short...I want to see full sized people as well as my front property.
Anyway, should I just get the c31 for 80 bucks or wait for the s4? I've heard it'll be about 250?
Is this the same person?
Ok, it appears that I have lost the ability to recognise people on the eufy system. When I click on an event and click the unidentified person it says is this the same person but the small picture that should be there to compare it to isn't there so what exactly can it compare it to?
My attempt to do the job ended at the jumper instructions. I have the green power plug icon and 93% showing but cannot enable Pre-recording. I know why, I just need to know my next move or options.
I humbly reveal my lack of electrical skills. I know what I don't know and stop before burning things. I purchased a 24v 40VA and replaced my 16V 20VA. I did notice the ground was unused on the 16V 20VA, I used it 24v 40VA.
I came off both sides of the doorbell switch to the E340 expecting no change and to keep my house doorbell until ready. I plan on having the siding replaced soon but I wanted the transformer upgraded. I kinda expected the eufy to react when the house doorbell was used when it closed the circuit but its only showing the power plug icon and percentage all the time..
I get dyslexic on the jumper instructions, and wonder what I can do to bypass the house bell button. It will stay in place to cover the hole for now.
Thanks.
I used the PO street address for my PO BOX just as I do for all shippers.
Never had a problem
Too many stolen packages at our home, but the reshipping will have to be delivered at our home.
Ontrac/LaserShip has a terrible chatbot that was no help at all. Even tried the "change shipping" address function to no avail.
The seller, Eufy, is sending another device quickly and I hope they seriously look into changing shippers.
