Contents Inside The Box
Inside the box, you will find several items. These include the Eufy 2K Camera, a power adapter, a USB cable, and a mounting bracket. You will also find screws and wall anchors for mounting. Another item is the user manual. Make sure to keep the manual for future reference.
Checking For Missing Items
First, take out all items from the box. Place them on a flat surface. Check if anything is missing. You should have the camera, power adapter, USB cable, mounting bracket, screws, wall anchors, and user manual. If any item is missing, contact customer support. They will help you get the missing items.
Initial Setup
First, take out the charging cable from the box. Plug one end into the camera. Connect the other end to a power outlet. The camera needs to charge fully. The light will turn green when done. Charging usually takes a few hours. Always use the provided cable for best results. Charging the camera before setup is very important.
Download the Eufy Security App from the App Store or Google Play. Open the app once it’s installed. Create a new account or log in if you have one. Follow the on-screen instructions. The app will guide you through the setup. Make sure your phone is connected to Wi-Fi. The app needs an internet connection to work.
Connecting To Wi-fi
Choose a 2.4 GHz network for your Eufy 2K Camera. This frequency is more stable for smart devices. Check your router settings to find the correct network. Avoid networks with special characters in the name. These can cause issues with the connection.
Restart your router if the camera does not connect. Move the camera closer to the router. Ensure your Wi-Fi password is correct. Double-check for any firmware updates. These can fix bugs and improve connectivity. If all else fails, reset the camera and try again.
Mounting The Camera
Choose a spot that covers the area you want to monitor. Avoid places with direct sunlight or heavy rain. Make sure the camera is close to a power source. Higher spots give a better view. Check for Wi-Fi signal strength at the chosen place.
The kit includes screws and anchors. First, mark where the screws will go. Use a drill to make holes for the anchors. Place the anchors into the holes. Align the mount and screw it in. Attach the camera to the mount. Adjust the angle for the best view.
Configuring Camera Settings
Open the Eufy app. Tap on your camera. Choose Settings. Select Video Quality. You can pick High, Medium, or Low. High gives the best image. But it uses more data. Medium saves data but looks good. Low saves most data. But the image is not as clear. Choose the right setting for your needs.
Go to the Settings in the Eufy app. Tap on Motion Detection. You will see Sensitivity options. Pick Low, Medium, or High. High will catch small movements. Low will only catch big movements. Medium is a good balance. Test each setting to see what works best.
