Thanks for your reply. Yes, I’m aware of Amazon’s return policy and I do use it when needed—getting a refund isn’t really the issue. What I’m trying to do is get it right the first time, which is why I reached out to the community.
There haven’t been many posts specifically about longer Micro USB leads, which I found surprising given the short length of the cable provided with the indoor cameras (unless you’re using a USB-C model, which is the only cable type Eufy seem to offer as an accessory).
When researching Micro USB leads—which are still plentiful—I’ve come across the same issues time and again: voltage drops, poor shielding, or simply not supplying enough power for the camera to function properly when using longer cables.
I came across this old thread from 2021 which sums up the issue quite well:
As you mentioned, if it doesn’t work Amazon will take it back—but ideally I’d like to avoid the trial and error. That’s why I was hoping others might have found a lead that does work reliably over longer distances.
Thanks again!
