Thank you so much for your help. I am finally able to automatically display my Eufy driveway camera on my Echo Show when motion is detected. I just presumed it wasnt possible until finding your video by accident.
I reached out to Eufy for assistance. In the meantime, while waiting for a response, I watched your video. Love the way you put everything in simple terms. I was able to connect my TV to the Eufy security cameras with ease. Thank you.
I've been looking for an answer to this automation for almost a year now, and by pure luck i came to your video. You sir earned my like, subscribe and respect :)
Thank you for making this video, I am not a tec person. You explained everything so well that I was able to set up my camera without any problems. Thanks again
THANK YOU so much! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I had to rewind the video like 10 times just to add 4 eufy cameras. I kept forgetting the steps in order. The Amazon app is not that user friendly.
Can you show the routine for adding 2 play devices like Firestick and echo show at same time like in the video. Having trouble figure out script for routine.
I have a better question. How are you getting the cameras to display on the tv as a security monitor? I have a dedicated monitor if I’d like to use for my security cameras
Hello sir,I'm in UK.Just wanted to thank you sooo much for your brilliant video. I've watched dozens of videos to show when my bink door bell was was pressed to show on my echo show 5 .But I have never been able to make it work until you 👍.Many thanks from England
Thank you so much. I've been wanting to have that feature enabled. Oddly, it worked on the house that is 30 miles away but not the one I'm in. Thankfully, the other house is the one that I really needed to be able to see from here.
Good video. Because I have not done this before, was not clear that I had to do this in the android phone app instead of directly on the fire cube. Thanks There must be a way to show directly the camera when I want to directly on fire tv also instead of just responding to ring?
I used your instructions and they worked until I kept getting a "system busy" on my camera's view. I found that if I wasn't home to see my amazon show to tell to go back home it kept my camera system busy. Did you have the same results or is there a work around ? Thanks, you explained everything great.
Hi, I think you can create another routine, besides the one to show the camera. Make the second routine start when camera motion is detected, have a "wait" time for 45 seconds or something, then have that routine "custom" say, "go home". This should make the alexa show go back to home screen.
What a great clear,and precise video,I looked at other videos on the same subject and it was all rushed their fingers moving all over the screen very fast . Just one thing I have set my Alexa up with my Ring floodlight camera and its all working well but I see the alert but it then stay on the screen until I ask Alexa to show pictures or the weather,also I cannot turn the microphone of the ring camera or the alexa, any ideas. Cheers for now Peter
Hi Peter, thank you for your comment. I think the alexa will time-out the camera after 5 mins....but I usually tell alexa to "go home"...and it returns to the home screen. I think it's possible to add a wait feature in your routine and then add a custom command to tell alexa to "go home" after the wait time you want. You may want to experiment with that. I think the ring door bell will load with the talk feature automatically as you were wanting. I'm disposing of my ring doorbell because I don't want to pay for their prescription fees. You'll see me adding a new eufy doorbell camera in the near future. Thanks again, Todd
Hi. Looked at the video went through it all and I have to say I have the ring doorbell 4 and I followed your advice word for word,And you guessed it it never worked.
Brilliant - I'm new to Eufy and Alexa, so this was helpful. Is there a clever way to disable the stream after so many minutes? edit: it closed itself after about 5 mins
Hey, Todd Thank you so much for this video! I now have my Wyze cameras notifying me that I have a visitor and showing up on my fire stick tv now. But I have a question. How do get all your cameras on the tv screen as you have? Is that the amazon tiny cam monitor pro app? Did you pay $3.99 for the app? And does it work well? Was it hard to set up? I sure hope you see this! Thanks for all you do! Love it. I like the auto flush toilet too! Lol!
Hi Steve, I'm happy you like the videos :) As far as showing ALL my cameras on my FireTv, I have ipCameras around my household (NOT wyze) that I use for showing them all together on the "IP Cam Viewer" app. It works excellent and I've been using it for over 5 years. After I install the "IP Cam Viewer" app on my Fire TV, I just create an Alexa Routine to ask my Fire TV to "Open IP Cam Viewer" on my Fire TV. You can download a FREE version of the "IP CAM Viewer" app and try it out, before you buy it. Hope this helps. -Todd

hi there! very useful video, a wasn't really sure eufy cam were trully compatible with Echo environment, now i'm able to make them run correctly! just a few questions, do yo think having the eufy homebase all the footage will be saved in it? or still have to insert microsd to have the full 2k recording? thanks a lot!
I set up a routine to show my outdoor garage cam on my Show 5 when motion is detected and it works great. But is there anyway to show that motion detected feed for say 2 minutes and then have the Show 5 revert to home screen? I tried to put a "wait" action for 2 min after the "show" action and then an "Alexa go home command" BUT the "Show" command apparently has to be the last command in the routine! So anyway to make the feed temporary and then back to Show home screen? Thanks
I have the same problem. I was just about to post this when I read your post... I did this for my Echo Show 10 in my family room and my Echo Show 5 in my bedroom for motion at front door Ring Pro2. However, if I'm not home or anywhere near the Echos the live view of front door will remain on the screen. I have to manually hit Home to go back to home screen . I tested it to see if it will go back to the Home screen on its own and it doesn't. Does anyone else have this problem? How can i fix this?? Thanks!
I have been trying for 3+ weeks to get our blink doorbell to show on the firetv when there is movement. I have not succeeded. So, before I purchase a Eufy system that will do what we need. Will this work? It is for my job, so we can see when someone comes to the door and who it is automatically.
Hey i was wondering if u have a hake exp if someone Disconnect or get the camera out of range. You usually can't see it on your feedback anymore or history until its back online do you know how will i be able to still save or have Access to the videos
I have the Fire TV. Will my regular television programs (satellite tv) pause and resume afterwards if my satellite box doesn’t support recording programs for future viewing? Would that be a feature that’s part of the TV itself as opposed to the satellite box?
Hi Todd , Nice video and thanks I created the routine with Eufy2c camera to play voice message on echo dotwhen camera detects motion but it’s not working, The motion sensor works well on eufy security app , I am living in UAE any help thanks in advance
Hello Murtaza, I would make sure you have the Eufy skill installed within the Alexa App and if you already do, I would dis-able the Eufy skill > then re-enable it again. One other thing I can think of....you may need an Alexa in your home the has the Hub built-in, so you may check that. -Todd
Does any fire stick work.? I have a very old one and a message plays saying not supported on this fire stick? Do I need a new fire stick 4K? Or would it be that the camera isn’t compatible? I’m using a Neos smartcam… in the Alexa app it says under the Neos camera that it doesn’t support live view?? But it lets me create the routine? Just don’t know if I should be updating my camera or fire stick?
Hi, firstly great tutorial. i just have an issue, i have the eufy 2c pro cameras. i followed the first 7 mins of the video, i believe the app is setup correctly as i have notifications pushed to all my firesticks when motion detected. however its not sending the motion to my sticks. i only get notified on my phone via the app. do i need a seperate app for the firestick. i have the 4k stick. Thanks. Dean.
Wish I could get this working with my eufy doorbell cam and fire stick I have tried everything. Eufy app works perfect it just won’t work on Amazon. I’ve reset devices re registered app skills etc etc.
@vanessav.9938: FRFR, did you ever get a reply. The video is sorta good but there is not a standard technology for the thousands of different cameras. I have YI cameras but they will not link with Alexa. The manufacturer claims to be working on it. IDK. As far as displaying multiple cameras, I think that the trick maybe to include the phrase "on my firestick." In my cameras app, the ability to display multiple views at once is built-in. If I could get Alexa to recognize my app, all features of the app should be displayed "on my firestick." For example, "watch multiple camera views on my firestick," or some variation should work. IDK, Hella frustrating... lol 😂 😮😢
Actually, if my theory is correct, all he seems to be accomplishing is a fancy mirroring of the camera app to the firestick. I think I could just bypass the Alexa BS, and simply mirror my phone to firestick and by enabling notifications, I can manually close the TV program and jump to the camera app, if needed. Not as tech-advanced as using Alexa, but, I rarely watch pure fireTV. I prefer to mirror my phone and use the TV as a monitor. IDK, that might work for me. Good luck 🤞...
im moving from google to alexa and pucrchased acho 8 , only becouse i have Eufy cameras and love this feature. i canot get the the CCTV camera to open on movement, i can only get a notification via routines, can you please help
Todd, thanks for this video, which raises a question for me: Up until recently, I did not need to create Routines to Show my cameras. I would just enable the camera's Alexa Skill, for example Yi IOT and then everytime I said to my Fire Cube: "Computer, Show me the Backyard" it would come up on our Fire Cube. But lately, that has stopped and instead the reply is: "OK Hmm Backyard is not responding." So I am wondering whether it would start working again if I created an Alexa Routine like yours, but where the trigger would just be "Computer (or Alexa) Show me Backyard" but I can't figure out how to set up the routine as Custom is not available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The reason I ask is, in Canada, sometimes there are features on Alexa that are not available yet. So you should have that "Custom" option available. 🤔 -Todd
Will it display 2 different cameras after being triggered? What if both get triggered at the same time? How did you display 4 cam feeds on your screen at 7:49, without any white border?
Thanks for the how to but is there a way to make it display only when tv is on. When I get a notification it will turn tv on even though it’s off but doesn’t show the video. It works fine when tv is already on. I would rather it not be turning on tv all the time.
Can you show how to have a constant feed to a Echo show device. I would like to be able to watch the front of my house on the Echo show device screen at all times.
How do you get a list of things in your when you click on to smat home I only have echo 5 showing what am I doing wrong can you help me please Regards marquita
Question I'm having problems with this. I downloaded Alexa it found my cameras, but I can't get it to alert me on the fire stick. I can get live feed sometimes. And when I go into Amazon app can't find skill
When I go into smart device to set up routine, it doesn't show the camera. But it is in the device list. I am also able to see the video on firetv max with voice but not the Gen 1 FTV.
I found this info online ... "The compatible Alexa devices that can display camera feeds are the 1st and 2nd generation Fire TV, the 2nd generation Fire TV Stick, the Fire TV Edition television, and the Echo Show. Amazon explicitly says the 1st generation Fire TV Stick is not compatible with camera viewing."
Is it possible to set up a routine that shows all live views at once? Like if one camera is triggered all come up? Also why does the fire stick seem to be faster than the echo show?
Hi Michael, Please make sure you have the following: #1 FireTV Cube or Stick #2 An ECHO with a HUB (not just an ECHO DOT). You need an ECHO w/built-in Hub. #3 Open the ALEXA App and go to "Skills & Games" and search and add the "EufySecurity App". If you have all these, you should be able to show your eufy Cameras on you FireTV Stick.
i would suggest otherwise , what if the thief gets the gun instead besides letting alexa have access to such a thing is not wise since it would mean anyone can ask alexa to open it which defeats the whole purpose of having a gun lock/safe
I have blink cameras and i want to have the ability to watch all 4 cameras on a monitor. Right now i get a notification on my phone that there is movement. I want the ability to watch all 4 cameras continually on a separate monitor? How do i accomplish this ?

Can anyone explain how he got all 4 cameras to have a live feed at once?
Tiny cam / app mine work with wyze / or rtsp enabled cameras
Looking for the answer to this question as well.
"Show me _____"?
I tried saying All cameras, All devices, etc... does work.
Whats the best app to view all cameras on with rtsp
@vanessav.9938: FRFR, did you ever get a reply.
The video is sorta good but there is not a standard technology for the thousands of different cameras.
I have YI cameras but they will not link with Alexa. The manufacturer claims to be working on it. IDK.
As far as displaying multiple cameras, I think that the trick maybe to include the phrase "on my firestick."
In my cameras app, the ability to display multiple views at once is built-in.
If I could get Alexa to recognize my app, all features of the app should be displayed "on my firestick."
For example, "watch multiple camera views on my firestick," or some variation should work.
IDK, Hella frustrating... lol 😂 😮😢
Actually, if my theory is correct, all he seems to be accomplishing is a fancy mirroring of the camera app to the firestick.
I think I could just bypass the Alexa BS, and simply mirror my phone to firestick and by enabling notifications, I can manually close the TV program and jump to the camera app, if needed.
Not as tech-advanced as using Alexa, but, I rarely watch pure fireTV. I prefer to mirror my phone and use the TV as a monitor.
IDK, that might work for me.
Good luck 🤞...
im moving from google to alexa and pucrchased acho 8 , only becouse i have Eufy cameras and love this feature. i canot get the the CCTV camera to open on movement, i can only get a notification via routines, can you please help
Damn!! The best video. Helped a lot.
Todd, thanks for this video, which raises a question for me: Up until recently, I did not need to create Routines to Show my cameras. I would just enable the camera's Alexa Skill, for example Yi IOT and then everytime I said to my Fire Cube: "Computer, Show me the Backyard" it would come up on our Fire Cube. But lately, that has stopped and instead the reply is: "OK Hmm Backyard is not responding."
So I am wondering whether it would start working again if I created an Alexa Routine like yours, but where the trigger would just be "Computer (or Alexa) Show me Backyard" but I can't figure out how to set up the routine as Custom is not available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
What country do you live?

The reason I ask is, in Canada, sometimes there are features on Alexa that are not available yet. So you should have that "Custom" option available. 🤔 -Todd
I have amazon echo 5, & tyna Denver smart home outdoor camera can I hook it to a roku
Will it display 2 different cameras after being triggered? What if both get triggered at the same time? How did you display 4 cam feeds on your screen at 7:49, without any white border?
Thanks for the how to but is there a way to make it display only when tv is on. When I get a notification it will turn tv on even though it’s off but doesn’t show the video. It works fine when tv is already on. I would rather it not be turning on tv all the time.
Thanks for the information
Great video sir.
Can you show how to have a constant feed to a Echo show device. I would like to be able to watch the front of my house on the Echo show device screen at all times.
How do you get a list of things in your when you click on to smat home I only have echo 5 showing what am I doing wrong can you help me please Regards marquita
Question I'm having problems with this. I downloaded Alexa it found my cameras, but I can't get it to alert me on the fire stick. I can get live feed sometimes. And when I go into Amazon app can't find skill
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SYNC MY EUFY TO MY FIRE TV FOR HOURS LOL. I LOVE YOUR VIDEO. YOU ROCK!! AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOU THANK YOU!!
You're AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment 😀 Glad to HELP! -Todd
When I go into smart device to set up routine, it doesn't show the camera. But it is in the device list. I am also able to see the video on firetv max with voice but not the Gen 1 FTV.
I found this info online ...
"The compatible Alexa devices that can display camera feeds are the 1st and 2nd generation Fire TV, the 2nd generation Fire TV Stick, the Fire TV Edition television, and the Echo Show. Amazon explicitly says the 1st generation Fire TV Stick is not compatible with camera viewing."
Is it possible to set up a routine that shows all live views at once? Like if one camera is triggered all come up? Also why does the fire stick seem to be faster than the echo show?
I have this question as well!
how do you get all your cameras to show together like that?
Awesome
Thank you
Hey Todd. Will this work on my Toshiba tv with alexa? If so, how do I set it up?
Richard. Any TV with the FireTV stick will work. Along with an Alexa compatible camera. -Todd
@@twHomeShow you must have the firetv stick?
Hi, i bougjt the 2c pro cams and i cant get a feed on my firestick tv or my echo show ive tried and tried please help
Hi Michael, Please make sure you have the following:
#1 FireTV Cube or Stick
#2 An ECHO with a HUB (not just an ECHO DOT). You need an ECHO w/built-in Hub.
#3 Open the ALEXA App and go to "Skills & Games" and search and add the "EufySecurity App".
If you have all these, you should be able to show your eufy Cameras on you FireTV Stick.
Nice video nice and simple thanks 💯
What Amazon app is that? My amazon app looks nothing like yours
Would be cool to automate the camera to trigger a gun safe unlocking if it's late at night
i would suggest otherwise , what if the thief gets the gun instead besides letting alexa have access to such a thing is not wise since it would mean anyone can ask alexa to open it which defeats the whole purpose of having a gun lock/safe
How do i het multiple cameras to display st the same time i have the floodlight camera too
