Win eufyCredits in Chit-Chat

Absolutely love my cameras!! Wasn’t disappointed at all. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

We upgraded from 2021 cameras which are to the s330 which the picture quality is so fantastic. Working through getting setup. My question. Sharing. It shows waiting acceptance. Where do they go to accept? They received email. But we couldn’t find were to accept.
The new cameras are money well spent.

I noticed this morning that neither my Video Doorbell nor my Solar Camera Light were showing the correct time after our change to British Summer Time yesterday. I went into settings in the Homebase 3 (which was showing the correct time), resaved the London timezone and, hey presto! :joy:

Eufy has given me more than just home security—it has given me peace of mind. I’ll never forget being out of town when I got my first alert from the Video Doorbell. In seconds, I was able to see and speak to the person at my front door. Even miles away, I felt close to home and in control. Since then, I’ve added eufyCams around the house, and their clear footage and smart detection zones help me focus only on what matters. My tip is to take time customizing those zones—it makes the system seamless and stress-free. What I appreciate most is that eufy makes security simple and dependable, so I can focus on life knowing my family and home are always protected.

:rofl:

Love the Camara but hate the delays in the mobile app

I use 2 camera for front and back door, one keylock swith camera for garage door. Its perfect and every movement we got notification so i know everytime when something happens. Its male it safer for me to know what happens around me.

Tips I use to secure my home with using Eufy cameras:
1. Use Local Storage Wherever Possible
One of the biggest advantages of Eufy is that many of their systems support local storage (HomeBase, microSD, internal storage), meaning less dependence on cloud/third-party servers and fewer risks of data leakage.
• If your cameras support 24/7 recording locally, use that (especially for entrances).
• Regularly check that storage has space and that footage isn’t being overwritten unintentionally.
2. Proper Camera Placement
Where you put them matters almost as much as having them.
• Mount outdoor cams high enough that they’re hard to reach, but still get a good field of view. Use wide-angles to cover entry points, walkways, garages.
• Avoid blind spots. Overlapping coverage helps (if you have more than one camera).
• Keep them in well-lit or sensor-lit areas so you get clear images at night. Motion-activated lights alongside cameras are really helpful.
3. Adjust Motion Sensitivity / Zone Settings
This is key to reduce false alarms (pets, cars passing by, branches moving).
• Many Eufy models let you define motion zones (e.g. front door only, exclude road).
• Adjust sensitivity so that you get alerts that matter, not ‘every little thing’.
• Use features like human only detection, if available. Helps cut down alerts.
4. Use Security Modes / Schedules / Geo-fencing
If your system supports it, set up different behaviour depending on whether you’re home / away / asleep.
• For example, when you’re out, have all external cameras set to full detection + alerts. When home, maybe drop to only external or only certain zones.
• Some users mention Eufy’s geofencing & “home/away” modes, though noted that some of these tools aren’t always perfectly reliable.
5. Keep Firmware & App Updated
Security bugs are real. Keeping the devices updated helps prevent known exploits. Eufy has had issues in the past with cloud or stream vulnerabilities, so don’t skip updates.
6. Physical Security of the Devices
Having the device itself stolen is a risk. Some tips:
• Use vandal-resistant screws or mounting hardware.
• Place cameras somewhat out of reach or in hard-to-tamper spots.
• Place signage or warning stickers that indicate surveillance—often a psychological deterrent.
7. Respect Privacy & Legal Compliance
• Don’t point cameras into neighbors’ homes or private places (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc.).
• Be aware of local laws / regulations about audio recording, video surveillance, data retention.
• Inform people in your home that cameras exist (guests, roommates) so there’s no surprise.
8. Use Two-Way Audio & Deterrents Smartly
Two-way audio can do double work: you can talk through the doorbell / cam to discourage unwelcome visitors (think “Hello, I’m calling the police” or similar, if something feels off).
Also “deterrent” features (sirens, floodlights) if your model has them.
9. Test Your Setup Periodically
• Check that alerts come through on your phone.
• Make sure cameras are pointed the right way, not shifted by weather or someone bumping them.
• Simulate zones or motion to verify detection is working as expected.
• Check that backup power or batteries are charged/working.
10. Have Redundancy / Overlap
If you can afford a few extra cameras, cover critical points from more than one angle. If one fails or is obstructed, you still have backup. Also multiple ways of detection (e.g. motion sensor + video camera + door/window sensors) helps.

i love my cameraaaa , wish I had more :confounded_face:
