My flood light camera stopped storing events. It still gives me motion detection notifications but doesn’t store them. I checked the storage and it’s not full. Any suggestions? Thanks
Check your security settings mode_ Home or Away. Make sure record videos is checked.
Try restarting your camera through the app.
If your flood light is hard wired try powering it off for a few seconds and power it back on.
If your eufy Floodlight Cam failed to record events, please try the following troubleshooting steps to verify if the issue can be resolved.
Storage Methods
In order to save video recordings, eufy Floodlight Cam will need to have one of the following storage methods activated.
- A working eMMC chip built-in on the Floodlight Cam. Please try formatting the eMMC chip by launching the eufySecurity app >Device Tab>"…"Icon> Camera Settings > Storage > Clear Storage.
Note: Formatting the eMMC chip will permanently delete all of the video recordings that are currently saved on the Floodlight Cam’s local storage.
- An active eufy cloud backup subscription.
Camera Settings
Please verify the following settings have been enabled and correctly configured for the camera to record events.
- Camera is turned on: eufySecurity app > Devices tab > “…” Icon>Camera Settings > Camera On.
- Camera’s motion detection types have been configured and a proper sensitivity level has been set: eufySecurity app > Devices tab >“…” Icon> Camera Settings > Motion Detection.
- Camera’s working mode has been configured to record videos: eufySecurity app > Security tab > Home/Away mode > the Record Video checkbox has been selected.
Note: Please verify the camera is not in Disarmed mode as it will not detect or record any events.
Mine did the same this morning but then they all reappeared.
If your floodlight camera is still sending motion detection alerts but not storing the events, the issue is often related to recording or storage settings rather than the camera hardware itself. Check in the app that event recording is enabled and that the camera is still assigned to the correct storage location (local storage, HomeBase, or cloud), as these settings can sometimes change after updates. It’s also a good idea to reboot the camera, check for firmware updates, and reformat the storage through the app even if it’s not full, since corrupted files can prevent new clips from saving. Verifying activity zones and ensuring the subscription status (if you use cloud storage) is active can also help. With a bit of tweaking, you should be able to get recordings back—almost as easily as updating a Smoothie Menu to keep things fresh and working smoothly.
When my flood light stopped working, I realized how important proper preparation and guidance are before facing any challenge. Just like fixing lighting issues requires the right tools and understanding, preparing for competitive exams demands structured support. The Dream Medic Easter UCAT Foundation Course provides students with early exposure to UCAT strategies, timed practice, and expert mentoring to build confidence step by step. Instead of feeling unprepared under pressure, students gain clarity, skills, and direction, ensuring they shine brightly in their medical school journey.
Probably try restarting. It works most of the time with a restart.
