Step one should be charging battery as it takes so long LOL😂😂😂 great installation video I wish I saw this before when I was trying to install mine! Short and to-the-point!!!❤❤❤
I got this lock in early December and this is the first time I'm about to charge the battery. Constant use every single day with the kids coming in and out the house a million times and pushing that Fingerprint to its max. Overall, the battery was my main concern but after almost 4 months of heavy use I am very satisfied. I've had Schlage before too.
Yah the battery life is very good. I think it might degrade over time and not holding as much charge, but that could be 5-10 years later and you can get a replacement battery from Eufy.
I really appreciate your efforts of being showing how this smart lock is setup, well done:but if you can send me a full setting up video I will be much glad. Thanks so much. I've learnt a lot
Great video !!! May I ask a quick question you may have a better idea. When I scan the QR code or enter the code it says the code is error sn... I ask service and they send me your RUclips link. So, any idea if this is my case what can I do? Thank you
Is it the step that eufy app generate a QR code for the smart lock to scan? It could be that the smart lock is not able to see the QR code well. You may try to turn the brightness of the phone up and move the phone slowly from near to far so the smart lock can see it. Or it could be that the smart lock is able to see the QR code, but the information on the QR code doesn't match what it needs. In this case, you may try long press the sync button again to re-start the sync process.
I have configured access code for the lock and I am wondering if it will work without internet once installed? Chime won't be installed yet so just standard lock unlock using access code is required from the lock without internet. Thanks
The access codes are stored locally on the door lock. When you set it up you do need the internet access. But once it's set, it will work even if the internet is out.
Thanks for the comment. Are you able to connect the wifi bridge to Eufyapp? The lock doesn't connect to Eufyapp directly. The connection is like this: Lock->(via blue tooth)->Wifi bridge->(via wifi)->Eufyapp
Yes I have double doors. It's likely the niche in the other door is not deep enough so the dead bolt doesn't have enough room to go all the way in. Try to see if you can make the niche deeper or find a shorter deadbolt.
Just got mine set up today and I watched your video and learned a few things from it like where the key whole is, thank you so much! Can someone verify if we can still unlock the door when the power is out? With the battery back up I’m thinking so, just not able to record anything because of the wifi being out. Also, anyone know how long the battery is supposed to last? Thank you.
The key code and fingerprint verification are stored on the doorlock itself so will still work if wifi goes out from power outage. My battery lasted for 6 months with frequent usage before needing charging. Charging only need a couple hours.
Their smart door lock and the video door bell are both great products, so I don’t think there would be quality issue with this combination device. So far I haven’t encountered any issues.
Can’t seem to get the 2 way audio working the prerecorded messages works perfectly but when I hit the phone button to talk they can’t hear me talking from the outside
@@Redfast999 I can't imagine the hassle. I've had Lockly's Vision Elite for about a month already and it's been working smoothly. I suggest you check them out
Thanks for your comment. Looks like Eufy recently removed the option of integration with Alexa and Google. I think they are trying to make all the devices connect to Homebase 3 then use Homebase 3 to connect Alexa and Google in the future.
Yes the key is a regular key so you may easily duplicate it in places such as Walmart. The battery is supposed to last for 1 year on full charge. Mine is currently on track about half charge left after about half a year.
Eufy is actually working on that. There’s a news update about Eufy planning to integrate all devices to Homebase 3. Once integrated, then should be able to use facial recognition and automatic actions for all devices:
Yes they do have auto lock, but don’t have Auto Unlock. It a features that Auto Unlock the door when you come home. It needs a geofence system to achieve that. Eufy don’t have geofence yah but they are supposed to be working on it
Is there a way to set up auto record when it detects motion? The only way I can make it record is by tapping record when I go live with the camera. Also do all clips get saved to photo album ?
Every time when it’s motion activated it will start recording automatically. The clips will be saved at the microSD card in the Wi-Fi bridge. You can see all the recordings at the event history section. You may select the clips and download to your phone if needed.
@@randomhomegadgets tnx, I assume the charging cable for the battery is excluded as well in the box? Btw, how long did it take you to fully charge it? Tnx in adv for your response
I haven’t tried that myself, but here is the instruction I found: 2. Enable the function of the Doorbell ringing event sent to the Alexa device 2.1 Open Amazon Alexa App > Click “Devices” > Click “All Devices” 2.2 Find the Smart lock device that needs Alexa notification 2.3 Enable the “Doorbell Press” 2.4 Ring the doorbell, and then your echo devices (echo show) will receive a notification
When i get to calibrating the lock, the EUFY application won't let me proceed ahead to finish the installation. Has anyone encountered a similar issue and could help?
Did it start the calibration then failed? Or did it not even start the calibration? May try to calibrate with the door open so nothing is blocking the deadbolt moving in and out. Also make sure the battery is charged. May also try resetting the door lock.
I think it's worth it. If you buy a video door bell and a smart lock separately, the total price will be $460. If you only need one them, then it make sense to just buy it individually.
A bit of a useless review. "You may turn on the night vision optimisation setting" information like this abound but not giving a clue what it does, if it does it wel or if it is useful. Suggests to me that the reviewer doesn't really know what he's talking about. I can read a manual and push settings myself. The pros are just copied from the manufacturer and shows the reviewer didn't really experience using it. It does work with homekit. You won't see me next time.
Thanks for the comments. The night vision optimization setting is for situation with partial obstruction of the view by the door frame, since it reflects infra red light. As you can see my door situation doesn’t have this kind of obstruction, so I won’t be able to tell if it works well or not. You are welcome to check other reviewers’ video too. Have a good day sir.
This the best smart lock door so far
Agree! I really like it :)

GREAT video thank you very much and well done with the edit and the music wasnt to loud
I really love the explanation. Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much
Great detailed video . Will be ordering one today to replace my Wi-Fi Touch lock , hope eufy update this lock to store videos on the new homebase 3 .
I hope so too. They talked about integrating all the existing products with Homebase 2 as well, but looks like it will be Homebase 3 now.
well done instructional. thanks art

Great video!!! Eufy seems to have disabled the 'Alexa as chime' feature as it is no longer an option
Thanks for the comment. I hope their next software upgrade would be better with integration with Google and Alexa

Do you have double doors? I have double doors and my deadbolt doesn’t go all the way in because of that center piece atttached to the other door.
Yes I have double doors. It's likely the niche in the other door is not deep enough so the dead bolt doesn't have enough room to go all the way in. Try to see if you can make the niche deeper or find a shorter deadbolt.

@@randomhomegadgets this helps a lot thank you so much.
is it possible for more then one person in the household to have the app and get the notifications when someone is at the door?
Yes. In the app, select the wifi bridge, select share device. Then you may share it to your friend/family via email.
I have the older eufy smart door model , if I install this new 3-1 can I leave my old deadbolt since is from same brand ?
The deadbolt itself is the same. You may just leave the deadbolt in place and change out the keypad and backing pieces.
@@randomhomegadgets thanks and will

Can you duplicate the keys and hows the battery?
Yes the key is a regular key so you may easily duplicate it in places such as Walmart. The battery is supposed to last for 1 year on full charge. Mine is currently on track about half charge left after about half a year.
Would be great if it could integrate with homebase 3 and facial rec technology to auto-unlock when you approach the door

Wondering how long the battery gonna last
Eufy website says it should last for 1 year. I’ve been using it for about 4 months now and no problem so far.

@@randomhomegadgets not for me. It does not record anything
@DannyG2035 do you have a MicroSD card installed? It will not record unless there is one installed.
How do I order this can u make a video on the process
It now available at eufy’s website now. It’s called video smart lock. share.eufylife.com/v1/shopping/s/g/ntCZ6duuT
Does micro sd come with the box? Tnx
The micro SD card is not included.
@@randomhomegadgets tnx, I assume the charging cable for the battery is excluded as well in the box? Btw, how long did it take you to fully charge it? Tnx in adv for your response
You are right the charging cable is not including, but it's a standard USB-C port. It took me about 2 hours to fully charge it.
Mine came with a 16gb microsd card included
I can’t seem to get the Alexa integration working. I don’t have an Alexa as Chime menu option 😢 Even after adding the the skill. 😢
