Since 3 years I own an Eufy Homebase and 4 Eufy cams. They give me alerts when someone walks around on my property. I have an Eufy doorbell since this Winter and off-course I receive a note on my iPhone when someone rings this bell. Works well.
This afternoon, I installed the same setup at my parents house. And they shared their setup in my Eufy app.
When I look above into the app, I see the name of my house and below “shared devices”. This shared devices shows me their setup.
The problem I can’t solve: If someone rings THEIR bell or when their cams detect movement, I also get an alert.
In my app snoozing their cams, or switching off, I don’t get any message from them, but on their phones, they also don’t get messages anymore.
You can guess: I just want to be able to keep an eye on their property, but I don’t want to be alerted by their cams or doorbell and I want to be alerted from mine.
I don’t use the share device function but, maybe what you’re looking for is in the Security Mode option??
You would think that each person’s phone should have the option to not be notified/alerted without changing other person’s phone App settings.
That’s eufy for you
Yes, it’s a bit odd that the settings for notifcation are “house” specific rather than “end user device” specific, but you can tweak end user device notification settings specifically - i.e. disable “eufy motion” on a given phone, which should do it.
The problem is, I have 2 cameras and a doorbell, and I have 3 x “eufy motion” notification settings in Android, as I presume each is for 1 device, but without guessing, I don’t know which
(you’d also need to set up the user on the app and cause each notification so that the app showed it, before you could disable it).
I suppose you could narrow it down, though a bit time-consuming. Test the cams at your home. Just toggle all OFF but 1 then see which camera doesn’t or does send a notification to your phone if you get a notification then leave that 1 ON and then turn ON another 1 run the test again.
The specific notification settings that you show, isn’t that an Android specific setting?
We all use iPhones here. If I go into the settings, I only can disable the entire Eufy Security app, not every specific camera alert.
If I disable the alerts from my parents cams in my app, my parents receive no alerts either.
