Download the Eufy Security app. This app is available on both iOS and Android. Make sure your phone software is up-to-date. Create an account on the app. This account helps you manage the cameras. Ensure you have the latest version of the app installed. This ensures smooth setup and fewer issues.
Initial Setup
Open the box carefully. Inside, you will see the camera, a charging cable, and a mounting bracket. Make sure you also find the user manual. Read it for important details. Check the camera for any damage. If damaged, contact customer support. Keep all packaging materials safe. You may need them later.
Use the provided charging cable. Plug one end into the camera. Plug the other end into a power source. The camera’s LED light will turn red. This means it is charging. Wait until the LED light turns green. This indicates a full charge. Charging may take a few hours. Do not use the camera while charging.
Connecting To Homebase
Start by plugging in the Homebase to a power outlet. Wait for it to turn on. You will see a blue light. This means it is ready to connect. Make sure the Homebase is close to your router. This helps with a better connection.
Press the Sync button on the Homebase. Hold it for two seconds. The Homebase will beep once. Next, press the Sync button on the camera. Hold it until the camera beeps. The camera light will flash. This means it is syncing.
The Homebase will beep again. This confirms the camera is connected. The camera light will turn solid. Now, you can place the camera in your desired spot.
Configuring The Camera
Open the Eufy Security app. Go to the Camera Settings. You can change the video quality. Adjust the motion detection sensitivity. Set up notifications for different events. Check the storage options. Save changes after adjusting.
Ensure the camera is connected to Homebase. Open the app. View the live feed. Check if the video is clear. Try moving in front of the camera. See if notifications are sent. If not, recheck settings. Make sure the camera is properly positioned. Confirm the Wi-Fi signal is strong.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes the camera may not connect. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength. A weak signal can cause problems. Try moving the camera closer to the Homebase. Also, ensure both devices are on the same network. If that does not work, restart your router and Homebase. This often solves many issues.
To reset the camera, find the reset button. Hold it for 10 seconds. The camera will restart. For the Homebase, press the reset button for 10 seconds. Wait for it to restart. Then try to connect the devices again. Resetting usually fixes many problems.
