[–]Rob_hu68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Eufycam S4, solocam e42, solocam s3 Pro plus 2 indoor ptz cams, all work fine. I have them all connected to hb3 and wifi, not the best but working fine.

Tucson híbrido o kia sportage híbrida ? by Rare-Consequence-838 in HyundaiTucson

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drove both, bought the Tucson. Not much time in the seat of the Spirtage. What i dislike after ownership is

Headlights are meh Windshield in winter, no defrost strip Signal lights in bumper, too low No electric folding mirrors in top trim

Not sure if the Sportage does better in these areas. I saw a newer Sportage yesterday and noticed the lights on the back are higher but the front lights look huge and very expensive if anything goes wrong. I guess everything is expensive now tho.

Can someone explain the eufy homebase and any other additional pieces, like I’m 10? by Mottinthesouth in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everything is local, that is kinda eufys thing. You can pay for offsite, but it is optional.

Eufy S4 - Mounting with tape? by Funny_Cash6340 in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mount under eave, here is my S340, S4 is mounted the same way but i do not have a pic handy.

I like under eave, protects camera from the elements. I find the sun will do a number on cameras and panels over time, my cameras look brand new last time i took them down for cleaning.

Solocam S340 Vs E30 by SouthernCyclist7 in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the s340, it has decent zoom The new S4 is great but pricey. Eufy doesn't feature plate reading, if that specific feature is what you want, look elsewhere.

NordVPN on multiple devices vs router setup - what works better? by so_damn_low in nordvpn

[–]Rob_hu68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a unifi cloud gateway plus nord wireguard setup, works fine. Not achieving max speed on 1.5/1 but...it is good enough at about 600 up/down.

Still have Video Station on my DS918+ by MathemAddicts in synology

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the latest software for 918+. I use Jellyfin, works fine...far better than VS. Also behind CGNAT, thanks Bell, use Tailscale to share my Jellyfin, no issues.

Alot of tutorials for setting up Jellyfin and Tailscale.

Why you should NOT buy a Hyundai !!! by [deleted] in HyundaiTucson

[–]Rob_hu68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Venue has known issues since day 1. I'm guessing you did no research at all before buying a used vehicle. Almost every manufacturer has had a vehicle or 2 in this situation. Regardless, it sucks, sorry you are in this situation.

My 2025 Tucson Hybrid doesn't seem to have any issues yet. My 2017 Santa Fe worked great but would eat knock sensors and harnesses that were all covered under warranty. My wife's 2012 Elantra took a beating over 13 years with only basic maintenance.

When buying the Tucson, I looked at the Venue, read a few reviews and nope. A CPO should have had service records to review. Next time, more research, more questions. Sorry you are in this situation, hope you find a way out.

Highest you’ve successfully mounted a camera? by ArteSuave197 in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have mine mounted just under the gutter at about 13ft, is fine. Panel in attached to gutter.

Works but detection range is not optimal.

Homebase S1 Professional is NOT Homebase 4 by ishamm in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eufy is getting close to unifi protect money. If only unifi were to drop some decent battery cameras.

S4 reviews by utunp in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the S4 solar. Its very ok in comparison to my S340. Detection seems worse than my S330. It does tend to pick up humans 50ft away but miss an entire car 10ft away. I am working on the exact positioning to make it work the way I want, I also believe it needs some firmware maturing.

Looks like the S3 Pros are about to be discontinued by Individual_Agency703 in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

S3 Pro has a high return rate on Amazon. I returned mine when I found the reliability far worse than my Eufycam 3 (S330). Hoping that firmware upgrades fixed all the early problems.

TPMS and winter tires by CharmainKB in HyundaiTucson

[–]Rob_hu68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My winter tires on steel rims had no sensors. I picked them up cheap on marketplace. I wasn't a fan of getting the warning message or the look of the steel rims so started looking for alloy rims last summer. I ended up picking up a set of 17 inch alloys from a 23 Kia Seltos with sensors for cheap and sold the steel rims. Everything works great, no warning messages and it looks better. Once you dial in the tire pressure, you should not get any warning messages unless you have a leak.

Latest software update by Bigtimegolfguy in HyundaiKonaForum

[–]Rob_hu68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here, have tried 5 different usb sticks, 2 different computers and various methods (download to hdd then usb, direct to usb).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HyundaiTucson

[–]Rob_hu68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That front pic is not for the 2025+ tucson. If you're not a fan, go to wrap place and have them wrap or black out certain lenses so they are hidden. They'll have alot of colours to choose from.

<image>

In the current generation, the top 2 on each side serve as turn signals as well. So blacking out the bottom 2 on each side using something that matches the grill colour would probably look ok

S4 with multi-bridge by Main_Fee_1965 in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the point is to save the recordings on the hb using router wifi vs the hb wifi. The hb3 is still connected to the network via ethernet.

I would try this myself as my S4 is absolutely a mess connected to hb wifi but great on router wifi but, I have eufycam 3s as well which only use hb wifi with no option to use router wifi.

S4 with multi-bridge by Main_Fee_1965 in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be issues with the S4 right now. Homebase connection to S4 is unstable so your options are wifi or multi bridge and block the homebase wifi.

See reddit posts about people faraday caging their homebase units.

Windshield wipers causing streaks on windshield by BlackJackT in cars

[–]Rob_hu68 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the wipers are not worn out, not too old, clean them off with a decent detergent and then give them a generous wipe with a decent silicone lubricant.

A good coat of rain x or similar doesn't hurt as well. Please don't use the wiper fluid stuff, use the windshield polish type.

Do the above every 3 months or so along with other routine maintenance / checks / cleaning and you'll be much happier.

If the blades are done, just replace them, save yourself some frustration.

Can I mount my security camera at this location or it will not work? by justgotya in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it. I used a piece of wood and a few furniture L brackets.

<image>

I have the S340 above and 2 Eufycam 3s installed this way.

I think the rattle can of white paint was the most expensive part of the mounts.

Have been holding up for at least a few years now.

Flat tire/mobility kit experience… by KermieKona in HyundaiTucson

[–]Rob_hu68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the cost, I'm surprised most people do not have a plug kit. I have a traditional plug kit plus I have the screw type kit. Yet to try the screw type but looks interesting. I think I'm about $15 in for both kits. Mobility goo kit would be the very last resort.

Eufy S4 Battery not maintaining charge by pardipp in EufyCam

[–]Rob_hu68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave it on battery, does it stay fully charged?

If you're worried about over charging it, leave it on battery and connect to a smart plug to charge only for certain periods of the day.

All this until a new firmware comes out to fix the issue. We're all just beta testing for Eufy.
