How can I get Homekit running on Eufycam 2 as the 4 cam pack sells with Homebase 1?

Hi there, I am new to Eufycam and so far I really like it.

I’d like to get Homekit working with my new Eufycam 2 (4pack) but it seems the latest cameras ship with the old Homebase. Is this correct? Will Homekit be coming to this product and if so when?

Just want to understand what the plan is and also why the Homebase 2 is a up/downgrade on the Homebase 1.

Thank you

Also a follow on question, if I buy the new wireless 2k doorbell without the Homebase 2 can I pair this with the Homebase 1 and what features beyond Homekit do I gain v give up?

Thanks

@manishdprasad I don’t think you can buy the 2k doorbell separate?! And only HomeBase 2 works with HomeKit also Eufycam 2 comes with HomeBase 2…https://www.amazon.com/eufy-Security-Wireless-Weatherproof-Compatible/dp/B07Z35RM2Q/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1XKM4LSE602Z&dchild=1&keywords=eufy+camera&qid=1585688349&sprefix=eufy%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-4

Unfortunately only on the 2 pack kind of stupid I think…

Hey @manishdprasad,

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know your concern.

The JB HI-FI link you attached to the post is our eufycam first generation.

For the Homekit feature, it is only available for our Homebase 2, not the Homebase 1. So sorry for the inconvenience caused.

If you need further assistance, please reach out to support@eufylife.com.

Thank you and looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks for posting and trying to help.

It is strange that my pack came for 4 x Eufy2 cam’s and a Homebase 1.

As for the doorbell selling separately I have found it at Good Guys…

In the end I opted for the Google Home setup but I am still questioning if I buy the doorbell with Homebase 2 and use that instead (still with GoogleHome).

Good guys never got stock, it seems.
