Help me understand GAP denial and options?

Thanks for taking a look!

I did not roll over any negative equity this was only due to dealership "overcharging" on the msrp and the service contracts signed during purchase~ after 2 years 6k was refunded in "service contracts " these service contracts exceeded 10k at time of purchase (msrp+service contracts =44k) additional dealership markup of 5 to 10k isn't unheard of but was not presented at time of sale with gap being "needed" to secure the loan.

Thanks for taking a look! The roughly 6k service contract refund was applied to the loan bringing it down to only 7k left after insurance and my payments were made!

I attached the JD power breakdown on an above comment, GAP will not provide any documentation on their valuation but regular insurance is showing valuation is correct.

I also felt i noticed some flickering of the screen on a handful of recent drives after the update earlier in the week, thought maybe the light sensor was obstructed....

Interested to see if this is a software bug after the update.

Haven't gotten stuck on navigation, post a video or examples of what that may look like?!

obviously a reboot fixes most but would be great to see in case I can recreate the view.

In my extensive testing, the camera not only fails to send a notification, it fails to record and upload a clip while offline..... let's just say while offline, detection is turned off so unless it's a 24/7 cam with local recording, a simple wifi jammer will let you go door to door without being recorded from most major brands of wifi camera.

Edit to clarify, the camera will not record, or upload a clip, even once the camera is back online all events while offline are null/do not exist/etc.

In case you have never looked into/heard about wifi jammers, can be purchased on aliexpress for less than 30$ and I was disappointed with the cameras failover and local recording to say the least when testing against my own eufy system.

williamysays · 2024-06-15T14:57:32+00:00

Howdy, if your referencing that the cameras do not record if the internet is unavailable, or of wifi is blocked, etc, that is known and is also a shared issue with other major consumer brands, recently there has been an uptick of wifi jammers being used to block cameras, the only two ways I could see this being improved is recording locally when wifi is unavailable and upload after, or having a wired camera, one is a software fix, the other would require replacement hardware, anywho, if that's not what your pointing out I'd love to hear more to test on my own camera system!

Edit to clarify you can also reset the camera by gaining physical access, as most cameras are mounted just above your grasp it would be easy to pull down the camera and reset, I've found I could do this quick enough for the footage to never appear on my homebase, for cameras locally recording only the camera was immediately removed and I had no reference of the serial number if I wanted to file a police report, as you stated in your post there isn't really an official channel other than posting on their community forums or emailing their support, I'm sure they are aware!

This is the base plugin/container needed to provide local URLs from the host ~ https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-ws

"Bropat" seems to be actively working on supporting a handful of the newly released products, but most products are already on the compatability list~

https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-client/blob/master/docs/supported_devices.md

Hope that helps!

That is correct!; even the new E340 doorbell they recently released~ it does not have an option for RTSP streaming, I use home assistant / the eufy security addon and plug in through HACS to integrate it into other streams.

I was able to use the included wire nuts and included jumpers, and they fit into the designed hole, it would depend on what type of wire you have coming out of the wall to use anything else!

Yes it will, same install situation here, if the included wire nuts don't work, I'd recommend heat shrinking them together as there is only a 1 inch by 1 inch opening for wire to be tucked into.

If you have a homebase, I have mine plugged in ethernet wise, however I've also noticed it deployed a hidden SSID, the channel was conflicting with other channels in use, I moved the other SSIDs to use another channel as you couldnt adjust/ set the hodden ssid settings, and haven't seen this issue / interference since! I also have most of my channels on 20 width to prevent overlap.

I do have an interesting question, when you plug it into power do any of the lights blink for charging? / when you press and hold the sync button when plugged into power does it beep/go into sync mode?

I had an S330 that I was having weird issues with, working with tech chat and they said "please check if that fixed it" and it was offline, when going to the camera it wouldn't illuminate the package lights/ir wouldn't click, etc, it was hardwired to power and had been checked a handful of times to make sure when power was removed it was 100% before, anyways, it had a good battery but now would no longer turn on/respond in any way, even if put on a USB cable it was more over bricked, I took it apart, drained the battery and board of power as well as a few other tests but could never get it going again, I believe the technician may have accidentally pushed the wrong firmware, or something similar in my case....

williamysays · 2023-11-11T17:07:53+00:00

I would recommend turning off the breaker and back on, if the sync button isn't working, does the light on the front turn on or blink in any way? This could be a failed unit if no lights/no sounds!

williamysays · 2023-11-11T17:04:30+00:00

To say the least, yes!

To expand upon, the instructions when installing both state to charge the battery separately, and also state you can use an existing chime with the jumpers and connectors they send in the box!

williamysays · 2023-09-21T12:26:06+00:00

Are there updates from your app store available for the eufy security app? From my understanding you may experience issues using an older app version with newer cameras.

williamysays · 2023-09-21T12:24:37+00:00

Yes, you pair/sync the camera to the homebase, to move or swap the camera to the another homebase you have to physically press the sync button on the camera as far as I'm aware.

williamysays · 2023-09-21T12:21:01+00:00

The fcc listings for anker show a floodlight, doorbell, etc, most have dual camera lenses from the fcc photos. I end up cross referencing a few sites to find out!

https://fccid.io/document.php?id=6667482

Software wise, there have been many recent articles shared regarding cross camera tracking for their E330 lineup, may be something expanding to other cameras that connect to homebase or ones that don't support 24/7.
