Outdoor Cam pro problem with firmware version 2.0.8.0

Really annoying.

among other cameras with different issues, I have one OutdoorCam and one OutdoorCam Pro.

I’ve had the same issues as described in this thread.

  • Both Cameras disconneced after updated with the new firmware and connected to my Homebase 3
  • “Solved” (solved is a strong word) by resetting them, disconnecting from Eufy app and reconnecting.

now, what I’ve noticed.

  • When connected via Homebase, both of them are very unstable and VERY slow. Live view has varying lags, spinner appears all the time (I’ve ensured TOP wifi location for this test). They were barely able to stream live to a phone in the SAME wi-fi of the Homebase network. This should’ve been rejected in their QA process.

So, I eventually gave up and did NOT connect them to the HOMEBASE 3 and am using them as standalone cameras. No extra features, none of the always promised benefits of an “ecosystem”. In the end, I have a very expensive standalone camera.

I’ve grown tired of the lack of maturity of the releases from Eufy. It’s not about this case. It’s been like this for as long as I know. This is at least 3 years.
