In 2010, I created a video security system for a national company that involved wireless cameras with a central hub and a private wireless network. Eufy’s Homebase design does the same thing, and repeats the same mistakes. Overlaying an additional Wi-Fi network creates conflicts and interference. Especially with the limit of 2.4ghz on many devices. Multi bridge could be great but but is poorly implemented. The cameras prefer the Homebase Wi-Fi even if video is not viewable dud to poor signal. The algorithm needs work. But the greatest annoyance is when there is a power fail and the home Wi-Fi drops, the cameras lose the WiFi passwords, WHY? The only way to reconfigure it is to remove the camera! Ladders are needed. Why cant the camera remember the Wi-Fi password and reconnect like all other devices? Eufy let me help you.
I agree that the cameras with multi bridge option loosing the WiFi password is annoying but you don’t have to get to the camera to reset it you can do it in the app I do it with mine. What is strange it’s not every time. I have a lot of cameras with that multi bridge option. The other camera I have without that option always reconnect without issues.
Yes the camera without multibridge will always reconnect because it is using Eufy’s Wi-Fi. My experience after detailed testing is that if you have cameras on multi-bridge and they are out of range of the HB3 Wi-Fi, if they go OFFLINE, there is no way to bring them back online without taking them down and bringing them closer to the HB3. All those settings are not possible in the OFFLINE mode. A reset won’t help because the Wi-Fi PW is erased. Note “erased”. They do that by design, as shown in the photo. Why Eufy? Correct this and the experience will be so much better.
