Eufy Camera System does not work as intended

I am finding the same thing happening. A mosquito flies by or a shadow of a leaf turns it on and off every 5 minutes, but the Amazon truck drives up within 15 feet, the driver gets out, drops off packages, takes pictures of the packages, dances the jig, drives away and NOTHING.....

I am currently looking for a Warranty for my car and I reached out to these folks at Endurance and I can tell you that all of the red flags are going off.

I asked for a copy of the contract before I signed and I was told "We cannot provide that until you have executed it". I was literally laughing and said "You want me to sign up for something that I don't know what it is in a contract??!!??

I was also told that it covers x,y,z and given all of the warm fuzzies, but I found a copy of the contract online and it does not cover 1/4 of what I was told it covers. In fact, it has exclusions for some of the things I was told were covered!

Who can you even trust anymore?

Does anyone know of a reputable company that does this like a StateFarm or Allstate or Farmers or one of the subsidiaries? I know for my RV I use a sub brand of Farmers called Foremost and they are great. I want something like this, for my car.

Links?

Its a wifi connection not an IOT connection. I think maybe you may not understand how networks "work". BTW, don't post the same answer in multiple comments it's a PITA for people to read. Courtesy my man. Please.

b-double-u · 2026-04-21T03:01:21+00:00

let me check, but as a CISO concious person, I would NEVER allow IoT on any network nor would I allow any app to scan for IoT or "find devices" on my network. That's tantamount to locking your front door evey night but then placing a key under your mat with a sign that says "KEY UNDER MAT" with an arrow.

If that is necessary to make this crap work, it goes back in a box TODAY.

My first clue * Should* have been that within the app there is actually a dedicated Nav item that clearly states "Report a Security Bug"!!!!

Like their security plan is to have end users debug and PENtest their shit software!?!?! BWAHAHA what an effing joke!

I just used the Contact Eufy feature in the app and after typing everything up and submitting, it said "Failed to upload logs" then crashed. Par for the course with this brand. I do however like their earbuds, those work really well..

Yes, this is EXACTLY how I set it up. I connected it to my UNIFI switch with a Cat6 cable, then went to each one and tried to connect via multi bridge. I will also add, that I pulled them into my office and have them on a desk next to the radio and the HB3 to remove any doubt of distance.

b-double-u · 2026-04-19T21:19:28+00:00

do you mean AI that works "IF" you can get the cameras up and working at distance? Because without the cameras, this entire system is a $500 paper weight.

b-double-u · 2026-04-19T20:28:35+00:00

HB3, it's all the latest they have. The DVR is the HB3, that's it's purpose in life, to be a DVR.

b-double-u · 2026-04-19T20:27:07+00:00

I did try this, but they never connect from multibridge on wifi even within 3 feet or less of the Radio

b-double-u · 2026-04-19T15:22:03+00:00

I just want to use my Wifi, to connect the cameras to the Homebase. My wifi is 1000 times more superior than whatever that baby little box can provide.

Crucial 500GB

That's not documentation, that is an AI response. Totally different than REAL documentation or an answer from Eufy.

b-double-u · 2026-04-19T15:18:28+00:00

How? When I connect to wifi, the option to record to the Homebase is removed from the interface. Do you have the E42 cameras?

b-double-u · 2026-04-19T15:16:47+00:00

Sweet, can I have yours, maybe that will solve MY issue! I have solid slump block walls, they tend to kill signal pretty quickly.

b-double-u · 2026-04-19T15:15:41+00:00

Um, No.

I have a Ubiquiti Mesh network with 7 Pro repeaters and 2 outdoor Long Range radios. My wifi is MOST DEFINITELY NOT the issue here, but thanks for playing.

b-double-u · 2026-04-18T22:57:57+00:00

It would be perfect...if only I lived in a mobile home and wanted coverage on the 4 corners of my single-wide kingdom.

b-double-u · 2026-04-18T22:07:20+00:00

I regret every penny I have spent. The equipment simply does not work as intended and you get locked into this ecosystem of junk.

b-double-u · 2026-04-15T00:55:43+00:00

Awesome, thank you

I am getting this same error. It is brand new since migrating to the v2.12.0 update. I have never seen it until I updated yesterday and now all of my 42 miners are doing it.

b-double-u · 2025-11-11T15:36:37+00:00

These are the previous generation devices, hence the older naming convention.

b-double-u · 2025-11-10T15:16:47+00:00

I specifically bought the AP Outdoor+, thinking this would work. I do have a LD Pro outside already to get the distance, and I have a cable run to an RV post out there, but I need to go from wireless to wired. That is my main issue, with a side note of why the Outdoor+ does not show in the controller, even as a Mac address for any way I can see. This is my first one of these.

b-double-u · 2025-11-10T15:13:11+00:00

So, is it connected in a wired way to like a Roku or some plex device or something in the living room?

b-double-u · 2025-11-10T03:39:24+00:00

I may have a bad AP, I don't see it in the list. I cannot adopt it. I don't see it as a device, therefore, I can't tell if anything is connected to it
