I always loved that Eufy has the storage done locally. I'd go nuts if I was having to pay monthly to access my own clips on a different server. I'm truly a fan of their products!
I think I finally found the security cameras that I’ve been looking for. The integrated solar panel makes it look clean and the ability to expand the storage of the hub is a plus. I’ve never had the need for cameras, but ever since they started stealing cars in my neighborhood the past 2 weeks I’ve been looking at different camera systems. I think you may have convinced me on these.
I just wanted to let you know my sick five year old has watched this 5-10 times. It’s the only thing that calms him down and he is your biggest fan. Thanks.
I just moved into a new house and have been looking into installing cameras for security purposes. I was dreading having to figure out how to run a USB cable to the cameras so this built in solar takes care of that problem. Love that it's also 4K!
Great detailed review Brett. Love you showing all the features and setup of the base and cameras. Love the ability to add your own hard drive to the base and the solar feature of the camera. No more getting on a ladder to remove the camera to charge the battery. 4k is another great feature and the detail of the picture at night is a big plus for a security camera. Keep up the great tech reviews on all the new tech products Brett. You are one of the RUclips reviewers whose opinion I trust on new tech products. Thank you Brett.
Always very good tech reviews. Keep up the good work Brett! My favorite feature is that the system recognizes people and also a big plus is that the base station can accept a hard drive. And even better, eufy doesn't require you to have a monthly subscription so that all the camera's options can work. I have three suggestions for eufy and maybe you can pass it on to the eufy development team. 1. With the next new version of the base station an HDMI option so that you can connect it to a screen or TV. (Operation on the screen or TV can then be done with a special eufy remote or wireless mouse) 2. Further develop the app so that it can also be downloaded on the Google Chrome TV and on the Amazon Fire stick. 3. On a person/vehicle/pet detection, the base station chimes so that even if your phone is not around you can get a notification that something has been detected. (With options to enable/disable the feature in the app or scenes) Even nicer when the base station talks and says "person detected at the driveway" Top eufy and Brett! Keep up the good work guys 🙏🏽👌🏽
The favorite feature with the Eufy cam 3 as I have come across so far is not just one thing. The first is the color night vision. The second is individual built in solar panel. 2 hours of direct sunlight a day keeps the battery charged for life of the battery.
My original Eufy solar cam only has local recordings to the camera. I like that it now has the home base. Guess I should have waited. Thanks for sharing.
Great review of the Eufy 3. Ring cameras no longer function as they advertised and use to perform. Eufy has out performed Ring by a li g shot. Love the quality of images, the internal storage, solar battery charging that actually works, love the size of camera more discrete. Many setting options that other cams don’t have. Way to go Eufy. I’d love to win a set!! Thanks for your through review Brett
I have been using Arlo for about 5 years. Now it is costing $21.97/month. Batteries only stay charged for about 3 months so I have to climb a ladder and exchange them. I like the Eufy system, especially the solar charging and hard drive storage. Great set up video. Thanks for the information.
Great review of the new Eufy 3. The features I personally love, is that it comes with a solar panel in the cameras themselves in order to charge the batteries and of course the 4K resolution. The fact that I don’t have to constantly remove batteries in order to charge them myself it’s huge for me, very convenient and it saves time. 4K resolution it’s a big deal, since it’ll mostly be used as an outside security camera. Being able to see detail information on security video recordings it’s crucial. With all the extra features Eufy 3 comes with, it def makes this product a very well rounded security camera. Thanks again @Tech With Brett for yet another amazing work. I watch your tech videos and product reviews all te time. Because of you, I’ve had purchased a lot of tech gadgets for my home inside and out. As a father of 4, I try to make my home as safe as possible and your videos help me a ton. Keep up good work 👍🏻
My favorite feature is the fact that's its solar and 4k. I have a nest camera outside but if I was to win these they will probably replace the nest for sure
Also I don't want to suck up but I've been watching and subscribed to your channel since the beginning and I have copied many ideas from you for my smart home. Keep up the great work
Great Video Brett. I just ordered this setup and hoping it will work with my phone and would like to see it work with my TV so I can watch it from my living room. Thank you again Brett
Do the cameras use a wifi network directly thru the base, or is it connecting to the base thru the home wifi/wifi network of our choice? I want to put the base in the network closet and create its own VLAN on the network.
GREAT WALK THRU BRETT!! Built in solar panel is best feature...only 2 hours of sunlight per day needed is an incredible advancement in technology...Hope to win one and try for myself...fingers crossed!!!!
I brought this product yesterday it's working well some when I get close to the camera with my phone it makes a static sound when I m talking though the mic an it be great if the ai when it recognizes a familiar face it doesn't see notifications to my phone but hopefully an up date in the future it could do that an I own a big property 950 square meters an no matter where I took the camera it didn't lose any signal bars what I was really impressed but it would of been great to get a hard drive with it I brought the 4 camera pack but I m really happy over all I rate this 9 out of 10 😊
Great features, however it is a relatively expensive solution. AUD1300 for 2 cameras and base station is up there, AUD2000 for 4 Cams and the base. Maybe by next Black Friday sales Eufy have sorted their normal pricing.
I love how the battery power is incorporated with the solar power. If you don't get solar power for a day or two once you do it will charge the batteries back up.
Favourite feature for me is the solar panels, it means i can place it somewhere where I dont need to run power the camera - it will solve one of the reasons why I've been uhming and arring about installing a camera at the location I wanted.
I really like this camera and 4K resolution. The local storage and no monthly subscriptions. I wish Canadians had a 3 camera option kit like the US. Now we need a 4K doorbell that is compatible with HomeBase 3.
Greetings, I always see your videos, technology catches my attention. I have a question regarding this eufy cam 3C equipment, how long is the maximum continuous recording 60 seconds or 120 seconds?
I would really love to have these cameras and the homebase to recognize and not having to set a alarm for when I leave the system can just do it for me I also love how I can protect my family
Thanks for the post. Seems the mounting brackets are pretty weak, I just received my eufy cam3 cams. Seem like it wants to slide down, of course not installed on a wall yet. We’ll see.
Hi Brett. When motion is triggered and a familiar face is captured does it tell you for example “ dad is seen In the garage “ or “ mom is In the kitchen “ I set mine up and added 11 familiar faces and it still just says “ someone has been seen “ . Is there a setting I missed ?
How can I reduce False alarms by 'not alerting' my phone nor recording 'Known' or "Familiar faces" and my 'Pet' (dog). I don't need my family and dog recorded, just Strangers and unknown vehicles and wildlife. is there a setting that I can adjust so I do not drain my phone battery as often and waste Homebase storage. I thought that BionicMind Edge was supposed to filter out Recognised people and pets.....
Silly question but is 120 seconds of recorded video enough? What if there's an incident happening outside and it cuts out just when I needed it to be recording? Does the recording continue immediately after the 120 seconds and so on? I'm new to this field so I'm curious and tempted by this kit. Thanks 👍
Nice video. I got 3 cameras like you have with the same base. My front camera sends notifications seamlessly, but my other 2 cameras do not send notifications even though they have been setup like you did and are recognized by the HomeBase. I walked in front of these 2 cameras like 10=15 times and zero notifications. Any comments on why no notifications on 2 cameras, but the front one works perfectly? Thanks as I really want to like this system.
So excited on what eufy has done so far, I already have several cameras in my home. Really excited about the built in solar panel and expandable storage and bionic AI as well.
Is there anyway i can connect my new eufy camera s30 with my homebase eufy2?? Its has been costly already to update camera eufy 3 but wasn't aware that i needed to purchase homebase 3 as well?? Is there any loops hole or other ways to connected my eufy cam 3 to homebase 2 please?? Thank you
Great review Brett. For me, Eufy is right at the top in the list of wireless security cameras. The best feature is definitely the solar panel integration and expandable memory. I recently moved into new home and these cameras will be a great addition.
Great video. I am in the market to replace 20+ Arlo cams in 3 different locations (2 continents). I am fed up with Arlo charging a fortune for the newer versions for access. I just want you to confirm that I can remotely access cameras on a PC. How many per base station? Thanks a lot.
Thank you for this great video, I'm considering this setup for my home , but i have some questions, does the camera use internet bandwidth when recording an event? , Or does it only communicate with the home base , also what would happen if the internet goes out? I know i won't get notified but will the event be recorded on the home base? I don't have reliable internet but i want to make sure that the home base keeps recording
Is there a way to view one of the cameras LIVE? Not just for a couple of minutes, but hours? I'd like to view the front door continuously from my office which is at the back of the house. Thank you!
Does it record 24/7, or I need to turn on the recording? Also can we attach a hard drive using a USB for storage or I have to mount it inside the base?
i got this a week ago, it's been 6 days and most of the batteries indicate they are around 70%... i think i will need to move some cameras around and adjust setting to get better battery life. cause at this rate, i will need to plug in and recharge the cameras in a few WEEKS. the cameras keep being triggered by tree branches and clouds, even if i only select "human detection", the cameras keep being triggered and it waste battery life... one camera that is on my back shed was down to 50% after 4 days of use, it is the furthest from the base station. i had to plug in my Milwaukee battery with usb charge port adapter to recharge that camera back to 100%, it's been 2 days and it is down to 80%... these solar panels aren't large enough to charge a "4k" camera.
Love my Eufy S40’s, their only problem is reflections in the pool being detected as motion… this is something not really acceptable in 2023… wondering if some progress has been made on the EufyCam 3 ??
This camera really has some incredible features! I'm mostly excited about never having to charge it again.

This camera doesn't even detect all motion. Left out of town and people came to home and it never detected they came to the door.
Great Video Brett. I just ordered this setup and hoping it will work with my phone and would like to see it work with my TV so I can watch it from my living room. Thank you again Brett
Eufy is one of my favorites. But it seems that with this launch it is ahead of other companies. Good job Eufy
Do the cameras use a wifi network directly thru the base, or is it connecting to the base thru the home wifi/wifi network of our choice? I want to put the base in the network closet and create its own VLAN on the network.
I truly like everything about those cameras, but the fact that they’re wireless and solar powered is the best feature.
GREAT WALK THRU BRETT!! Built in solar panel is best feature...only 2 hours of sunlight per day needed is an incredible advancement in technology...Hope to win one and try for myself...fingers crossed!!!!
Loved the video. Considering making the move away from Ring and Eufy looks worthy of a shot
About to buy this camera, but wondering how they will cope with those 42°C summer days.
The expandable local storage on the home base is solid! 😊
I love the video recording capabilities on the eufycam 3. Amazing feature to be able to add a hard drive. Game changer!
Does it have a panic mode? Where u can make all the alarms and home base alarm go off all at once?
I brought this product yesterday it's working well some when I get close to the camera with my phone it makes a static sound when I m talking though the mic an it be great if the ai when it recognizes a familiar face it doesn't see notifications to my phone but hopefully an up date in the future it could do that an I own a big property 950 square meters an no matter where I took the camera it didn't lose any signal bars what I was really impressed but it would of been great to get a hard drive with it I brought the 4 camera pack but I m really happy over all I rate this 9 out of 10 😊
dose the Eufy app allow you to view away from your home , not on your local network ?
4K, solar power, and adding a hard drive directly to the base station are all great features!
Great features, however it is a relatively expensive solution. AUD1300 for 2 cameras and base station is up there, AUD2000 for 4 Cams and the base. Maybe by next Black Friday sales Eufy have sorted their normal pricing.
Hi Brett
Thanks for your review. One problem is that it detected my big dog during the night mode. What can I do?
Have you got the hard drive with the bundle, if not could you tell me which one you are using ?
Thanks
I like that they are putting the solar panel right on the camera. Much cleaner look.
can you connect this to your TV to display the footage? Or, does it have to be from the app?
Is it only 3 cameras that can work with this system?
can the live feed be accessed far away for another country?
How would you change the camera internal battery????
Awesome camera! One of the best features is viewing the camera from the website. Thanks for the detailed review!
Whats the wifi range on it and what speed do you need ? Id rather have a camera that dosnt run off wifi
Have you found out the WIFI range?
I think I will be switching from Arlo to this. Thanks for the info!
I love how the battery power is incorporated with the solar power. If you don't get solar power for a day or two once you do it will charge the batteries back up.
Favourite feature for me is the solar panels, it means i can place it somewhere where I dont need to run power the camera - it will solve one of the reasons why I've been uhming and arring about installing a camera at the location I wanted.
So just the base connects to the internet then the camera's connect to the base. Correct?
Is it possible to give a maximum distance between camera and homebase?
I really like this camera and 4K resolution. The local storage and no monthly subscriptions. I wish Canadians had a 3 camera option kit like the US. Now we need a 4K doorbell that is compatible with HomeBase 3.
Will came stick out far enough from under roof over hang for sunlight??? I have gutters on front of my house
Does this system work with HomeKit including notifications on Apple TV?
My favorite feature of the Eufycam 3 has to be the 4k resolution. I'm curious how big a 30 sec video clip is. Thanks for the review!
Can you delete the footage from the hard drive and how many months of standard recording will the 1T drive hold.
When the update rolls out for Dual Cam battery support on HB3, will the HB3 serve as a doorbell chime just like the HB2?
Greetings, I always see your videos, technology catches my attention. I have a question regarding this eufy cam 3C equipment, how long is the maximum continuous recording 60 seconds or 120 seconds?
Quick question Brett. Can I pair 2 Eufy home bases to my cam and alarm sensors, or do I have to use only one Home base.?
What is the longest amount of time the camera will record for one clip if you set it to customize?
How much is a drive for the base.
Can the Base connect to the Router via WiFi once it has been set up? Or does it need to be permanently hard wired?
Question
If I put in a additional hard drive, will it still compress the 4K footage?
I would really love to have these cameras and the homebase to recognize and not having to set a alarm for when I leave the system can just do it for me I also love how I can protect my family
Thanks for the post. Seems the mounting brackets are pretty weak, I just received my eufy cam3 cams. Seem like it wants to slide down, of course not installed on a wall yet. We’ll see.
I was right the camera will not stay level, some how that not right
Your home security also eufy and you are using keypad for home ?
This is leaps and bounds better than the wyze cams I currently have and the storage onsite is very much needed!
Best Eufy setup out there !
Hi Brett. When motion is triggered and a familiar face is captured does it tell you for example “ dad is seen In the garage “ or “ mom is In the kitchen “ I set mine up and added 11 familiar faces and it still just says “ someone has been seen “ . Is there a setting I missed ?
Is there a place to look at history like before and after clips. Or if I want to look at a certain time?
The best feature is definitely the solar panel, being that I don't want to run lines.. Adding your own hard drive for local storage is a great feature
Do the activity zones actually work on this camera system?
i live in high temps country where it reach 55C in summer. dose this cam endure?
How can I reduce False alarms by 'not alerting' my phone nor recording 'Known' or "Familiar faces" and my 'Pet' (dog). I don't need my family and dog recorded, just Strangers and unknown vehicles and wildlife. is there a setting that I can adjust so I do not drain my phone battery as often and waste Homebase storage. I thought that BionicMind Edge was supposed to filter out Recognised people and pets.....
Do you know if this doesn’t have an issue with the Google monitor ?
These are awesome cameras and no need to put up a solar charge panel next to it, i am sold, no monitoring fee is awesome!
Silly question but is 120 seconds of recorded video enough? What if there's an incident happening outside and it cuts out just when I needed it to be recording? Does the recording continue immediately after the 120 seconds and so on? I'm new to this field so I'm curious and tempted by this kit. Thanks 👍
Any idea why these are not available on Amazon? Amazons notice...Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
Hi Brett . Can you please do a follow up video when the s40 becomes compatible with the new homebase . Thanks v much
The timeline is available to view on Eufy’s website
Can you replace the battery after 2 year if it goes bad?
Nice video. I got 3 cameras like you have with the same base. My front camera sends notifications seamlessly, but my other 2 cameras do not send notifications even though they have been setup like you did and are recognized by the HomeBase.

This is limited because of the battery. If you have a wired camera it will be able to stream for much longer.
very clear explanation.. Camera has some incredible features...
Nice review. My favorite feature is either the solar charging or the local storage so I don't have to pay a monthly fee.
Does it record 24/7, or I need to turn on the recording? Also can we attach a hard drive using a USB for storage or I have to mount it inside the base?
I like the battery power + solar panel on top of the camera -- curious to see how it holds up over time!
im in Vancouver and aside from summer, we don't get much sun. does it charge effieciently even when cloudy? or does it have to be beaming sunlight?
@21:14 Wait.. does this mean you cannot view the video in realtime via the Eufy app?? You have to go to the website??
You can view them in the app, but only one live view camera at a time. You cannot live view all cameras at once
Thank you, I appreciate you going over the app
Not bad, our home definitely needs some of these in our neighborhood!
Can I connect it to my tv??
Very excited about the solar and extra storage capabilities
How long can you watch Live View?
i got this a week ago, it's been 6 days and most of the batteries indicate they are around 70%...
i think i will need to move some cameras around and adjust setting to get better battery life.
cause at this rate, i will need to plug in and recharge the cameras in a few WEEKS.
the cameras keep being triggered by tree branches and clouds, even if i only select "human detection", the cameras keep being triggered and it waste battery life...
one camera that is on my back shed was down to 50% after 4 days of use, it is the furthest from the base station.
i had to plug in my Milwaukee battery with usb charge port adapter to recharge that camera back to 100%, it's been 2 days and it is down to 80%...
these solar panels aren't large enough to charge a "4k" camera.
How many home base can you connect under the same account.
It's great to see adding solar into home cameras now. Would like to see 24/7 recordings instead of events only.
Yeah that would be nice to have. I'd love to see my Time Lapse features and such show up as well.
Love my Eufy S40’s, their only problem is reflections in the pool being detected as motion… this is something not really acceptable in 2023… wondering if some progress has been made on the EufyCam 3 ??
Any idea what the wifi range is for these cameras?
