I am sorry but 12 Minutes of talking without answering the question that clearly makes out the title... Yes you've mentioned lots of details of the new generation (all public information) but as a long-term user of the Eufy portfolio you should add way more details of what makes the 3rd generation superiour to the 2nd generation, supposing this is the case. Especially some first-hand impressions of how the AI is doing and how it is improving itself over time is missing.
I really loved this informative video, especially the comprehensive description of the setup and features of the system. Not to mention the comedic B role!! Thank you very much.
Eufy are offering the upgrade for existing App fans to the new Homebase 3 at a discounted price of £105. Good review Scott looks like I need to find the cash to upgrade.
Oh wow really? I couldn’t find any info about this but I do know they are out of stock in the UK and it will be available on the Eufy store at the end of this month. Do you have a link with this info/discount?
@@scottpinhorne It was clearly advertised directly in the Eufy app for several weeks, by showing a nag screen on almost every app start. The discount is still valid, just use the "discover" tab.
@@0900McShizzle, it actually IS THERE, so it doesn't have to be a "Eury rep" to bring up the subject. I precisely looked up videos on HB2 vs HB3 because the app has the nag popup.
Just ordered this system with the 4 camera package. $1200 Canadian, but from all the reviews ive seen, its the absolute best on the market. Great video, thanks!!
How far from the home hub do the cameras work ? I am considering installing in on the roof fender facing the drive will it still be able to communicate with the hub ?
As long as you have a solid Wi-Fi connection to the camera it should be fine. You might want to look into a mesh router with additional satellites to extend ur wifi. Hope this helps
Just purchased the homebase 3 and so dissapointed that it NEEDS to be wired connected to our WiFi router.. With the homebase2 I could leave the WiFi router in one room and place the hub somewhere else. Now they have to be side by side.
its actually only wired for the initial setup, at which point it can then be removed and used as wifi. only time it needs to be fully wired is if you have a 24/7 surveillance camera
I'm very impressed after upgrading from an Arlo Ultra to a EufyCam 3 system with Homebase 3 -- far fewer false alerts! better video quality! no subscription! The issue with factory resetting cameras seems to be solved with the new cameras
My biggest problem will probably be that my cameras will be up to 30 feet from the base station! Will this work? They will all have full Wi-Fi with a good quality signal via Unify system but not able to directly connect to the Home Base only via normal Wi-Fi network
Hi there, at 9:44 you tell us that face recognition can help us with not being alerted all the time. How can i make that work? I can't seem to find the option??
Hi Scott, its a great video. Besides the new people/pet detection added to the floodlight camera, i'm more interested to know if the new homebase 3 support continuous footage for my eufy floodlight camera (1080p). The compatibly page said my device is compatible, but i would like to confirm if it is not only talking about the detection features, but also support continuous recording. Thanks!
Great video review. So what I hear you saying is Eufy's present deal to "trade in" your old HomeBase 2 for the new S380 for $80 is a heckuva deal! I just ordered mine. Your mention of the AI recognition of me when I'm working in the front yard and NOT having my camera go off every 15 seconds is worth that price of entry alone! With SSDs being so cheap that too is no brainer for the upgrade.
Good overview. I’ll turn on the anti-theft feature. I got the three pack and door lock. They were all super easy to at up. Hey, where if you get that on air light?
Great review, thank you. I've got a few questions: What's the maximum distance can I have between the camera and home base? Does the home base connect wirelessly to the router? In UK weather, where sometimes you don't get sunshine for days, what happens to the camera? Does it stop?
I bought the 4 camera bundle and I tryed holding button for 20+ seconds and it didn’t do anything.. camera still is view able and it doesn’t delete anything.. guessing it has been fixed or maybe you didn’t actually check? Supposedly it was fixed in a late January update.
I just bought a Eufy S340 and I hate it. I only get notifications when some activity happens but I would think that the camera would come on and I could see this live....sort of like the live feed from the E340 doorbell. I need a camera that comes on when there is activity!!!
How is your experience with the home base 3 Could you test the functionality of the S330 (Dual Cam) Video Doorbell Add-on Unit with the S380 HomeBase (HomeBase 3)
If I have Eufy cameras that were used before purchasing the HomeBase 3, and I add them to HB, will it erase (or make unaccessible for donations) the existing recordings? I just installed a new SoloCam S340 & when connecting to HB3 it told me internal videos saved on camera would only be accessible again if I removed from HB3. I'm not sure it things are deleted, or just stuck on the device. Thanks! Your video was awesome, and I wouldnt have know I could add these and get the additional AI features on my existing cameras (which I'm obsessed with)
Hi Scott, being a complete owner of the 4 camera Eufy 2 Pro 2 k kit (worked brilliantly) I added another Pro cam 2 and the door lock with camera, finger print, key pad etc then my problems started. I have a samsung S21 and the 'notifications' were just blank white screens when you get notified. Previously I got the notification and when you click on it it would show the clip but now no video but you still get audio. I called the support group here in Australia (as I live in Perth, Western Australia) and they were brilliant but had never heard of it but sent me a heap of commands, unplug the home base, dump the Samsung cache, reboot the phone, etc, etc. All failed. I got my old Samsung S8 out of hibernation and its good. The app works on the wifes iphone, my ipad and all's good but alias the Samsung S21 is doomed. I told the support group I'll probably go and just buy the Home Base 3 and see if that resolves the problem? I asked if anybody else had experienced this world wide but they didn't Know. Love your show, Bruce ps its 36 degrees C here today but they predict it to get warmer in the next couple of days.
Hey Bruce thanks for feed back. I don’t have this handset to test for you. Does anyone you know own the handset to test another to see if it’s all S21’s or just an issue with yours or a certain version of Android?
I heard that the delay on detection is slow, by the time someone comes on to your drive or property, to the time the camera starts recording, you only end up seeing the back of their head walking away? Is this still true? Has anybody had this issue with these cameras? Cheers!
The 2k floodlight and indoor cams aren’t compatible yet but the doorbell is and the process is exactly the same as here: ruclips.net/video/vbLEqpXZgU8/видео.html
Thanks for this video!!! Quick question: when upgrading from HB2 to HB3 like you, did your different devices lost their current configuration? (recording settings, audio/video parameters, etc...) And another one for your next video ^^ Is it still impossible to combine security mode in automations we create ("when a specific security mode is on, so do ... XYZ")? Thanks a lot for the confirmation and your precious feedback 👍
I’ve read ppl’s experiences on your question and they all said that they had to reconnect every single camera to the new homebase 3 and all settings for those cameras also had to be reconfigured
2.5 inch SATA. A SSD will eventually fail with so many re-writes so if you can afford it get a spinning disk HDD (or nick one from an old laptop) ideally a surveillance specific one.
@@scottpinhorne Thanks Scott, it seems like it has slid under the radar for a lot of people & they only find out once they buy a setup and try it out with the 5th camera. The last person that had mentioned the issue that I have come across was within the last 20 days. The only other possibility is if you can set the additional cameras to record via the SD card if they are a model that support it (hopefully they can still recieve the enhanced AI features via the Homebase 3 at the same time).
If you have the home alarm system with the Homebase, and then purchase the Homebase 3 can I remove the original Homebase? This maybe a silly question but I’m new to Eufy. Thanks
I've used the Homebase 2 for a few years. It's buggy. It'll stop recognizing movement and not record, then resume functioning when it feels like, or when you restart the Homebase. Lot's get's missed. Person on the porch, no recording. Delivery? You missed it. So, is Homebase 3 any better? Not a peep.
You should have included outside footage of the cameras, I wouldnt buy this system without seeing how good the video quality was .... A 5 sec bit of footage in a small room isn't good enough ......
Hi. I want to to install a HB3 and camera, but the camera will be beyond the range of the HB3. I have a mesh wif network that reaches all parts of the proerty. Can I connect the camera to the HB3 via the mesh network? Thanks
I have a question. I've got the 2k doorbell and the chime and i seem to have problems where if im not on a wifi when im out and the doorbell goes off 9 times out of 10 it doesn't load and then its too late. Would the hub3 sort that out do you think?
Great review. The AI filtering sounds really good! I currently have a Homebase 2 with a bunch of 2C Pros and a Pan and Tilt and was thinking of upgrading to the Homebase 3 hoping to get a better range to the cameras. However, the end of your video doesn't sound too good with legacy gear unfortunately! :(...... Any thoughts on the range question would be appreciated.
Thats exactly the question I'm trying to find out. I also run a bunch of cameras, and some of the outdoor ones just have such weak (or loss) of signal back to my Homebase 2. I really hope the Homebase 3 would make a better connection.
@@scottpinhorne I think I am going to need a much longer cable than the provided one because where I want to put the home base is some distance from the router in order to pick up where I want to put the cameras
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
I have the homebase 2 and the dual doorbell. My biggest gripe is the MASSIVE delay between doorbell ringing and being able to connect to the live feed on the app. Trying to have a conversation is damn near impossible due to the homebase lag. With the homebase 3 having a quad core processor I'm wondering whether this has been resolved ?
The floodlight cam connects to home base 3? On their list still says it's pending. Been waiting for that and battery doorbell to be supported for 24/7 record
The Homebase 3 does NOT yet work with Floodlight Cam 2 Pro...here in the US till May 2023 (the latest date as of 3/2023). If that is no longer true please let me know.
Great video, with the new facial recognition ability can separate notifications be set for each family member. For example I hate being notified every time I walk through the room but want to be alerted when my father, Alzheimer’s, is wandering.
Currently notifications based on whom was detected isn’t a thing although it will tell you who it has detected if they have been added as a familiar face.
Does the new home base have a longer range to connect with all cameras? I am having issues with one cam losing connection, which is the one furthest away from the base . I have swapped cams to ensure it is not the camera and it all points to a slight weak connection to the base.
I did not know a video can have a shape 🙂 Do you get notifications from the doorbell camera when the internet is down? In other words, can data/video flow from the camera to the homebase 3 to the cellphone directly?
hi Scott, Pls put a video as well when adding floodlight, I got 2 as well. Another question please. When using Geofencing after all cams added, meaning that you only would get one single notification that system switched to Away or Home after you added all stand alone cams?
I will do once the update is out. Yes with all cams in Homebase only one setting and only one notification for geofencing which seems to be much quicker on the Homebase 3
I added my face but still the eufy can 3C is not recognising me. I tried this under very good lighting and looking straight into the camera. How to train the camera to detect me better?
In the app i often go into Edge and then assign unfamiliar faces to familiar ones to help the learning and this seems to work well for me and people get recognised much better so maybe the AI just needs a little help from us mere humans :-D
Hi bro, love ya vids and great presentation :) ha ha @ your weight of the home base in metric and measurements in 350 and 500 tenths of a inch experial. I'm in Australia and it's metric here thank goodness. Reason I'm typing this to you... cheers for the info vids, I have two home base 2 with two 2C pro cams hooked to each [was cheaper to buy my setup that way] and I have one home base positioned at either end of the house used as wi fi repeater stations as my cams are a long way from the house and one motion detector hooked to one of the home bases. It may have been an update, I can't remember if I've had it from the get go, which the app tells me.. "we have protected you for 280 days" but I can chose different alert tones for each camera from the app. Carry on and all the best!!
i wanted to buy two E2 cameras but it turns out that if I want an internal siren need the homebase. I can only get the homebase 3 which has battery because our country has daily power outs
Does this have the feature where you can have a live feed onto a stationary screen similar to like a baby monitor style set up (I understand it has the phone feature which would be good for after hours). Looking to have it set up in a office space that has front door, back door and retail space.
I have Eufy 2 homebase sensors plus 1 camera. It has been working perfectly for 1.5 year. Recently the app very slow and unresponsive. basically useless. Is there any experience what can cause this? i tried to uninstall reinstall app, but its the same? Could it be that the 16Gb storage is full? Thanks.
I’ve checked with my brother who has the HB2 and he said it hasn’t noticed anything like this. Has anything else in your environment changed with wireless devices or router changes etc?
Great video, subscribed. In the video you said the Homebase 3 was compatible with your floodlight cam 2 pro. But the compatibility list says it’s not compatible until March. Is it comparable now? Did you get it to work?
Is the homekit still available for cam 2c after added to homebase 3? Just bought a homebase through the eufy app with 50£ discount but haven’t opened yet as I’m ok with homebase 2 and my main use is the homekit compatibility. I wonder if that still on, before I commit to unpack the homebase 3 😁 Cheers
Does the Homebase 3 work with the wireless dual-camera doorbell? From what I have read it doesn't but then I read other places that it does work with the new Homebase.

I saw on someones post V3 comes with 1gig ram is it true ? More horse power is a great and welcome thing
What I‘m interested in is, if HB 3 is faster. My homebase is a pain. My internet connection isn‘t.
How many add on cameras we can add with home-based 3
I bought the 4 camera bundle and I tryed holding button for 20+ seconds and it didn’t do anything.. camera still is view able and it doesn’t delete anything.. guessing it has been fixed or maybe you didn’t actually check? Supposedly it was fixed in a late January update.

@@scottpinhorne I think I am going to need a much longer cable than the provided one because where I want to put the home base is some distance from the router in order to pick up where I want to put the cameras
@@kings7manyes, common problem !
Does the new Home Base have automation features for floodlights?
The floodlights aren’t yet compatible with the Homebase 3z Eufy website state April but his keeps changing :-(
@@scottpinhorne thank you for your reply
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
This setup doesn’t need internet as it records on Homebase 3 which you can put next to your router
I have the homebase 2 and the dual doorbell. My biggest gripe is the MASSIVE delay between doorbell ringing and being able to connect to the live feed on the app. Trying to have a conversation is damn near impossible due to the homebase lag.
With the homebase 3 having a quad core processor I'm wondering whether this has been resolved ?
From what I experienced (HomeBase 3, using Dual Cam Doorbell), it’s about a 1 second lag for most cases.
8:08 This is incorrect, at least these days. You can very simply switch all devices to a new HomeBase with the app. No reconfiguration needed.
@@osronn good to hear that’s been added now :-)
You did not provide night shots!
The floodlight cam connects to home base 3? On their list still says it's pending. Been waiting for that and battery doorbell to be supported for 24/7 record
Greate review
The Homebase 3 does NOT yet work with Floodlight Cam 2 Pro...here in the US till May 2023 (the latest date as of 3/2023). If that is no longer true please let me know.
Same here in UK their site says May and the indoor cams in March… we shall see…
Can you use it with a solar panel as one of mine would be in the shade?
Good question. I’m not sure, I’ll test and answer in a follow up video so keep watching 🤣
@@scottpinhorne Thanks Scott, I have subscribed, great video mate.
@@vinylnutter that’s kind, thank you
For surveillance applications a spinning rust HDD will last longer than a SSD and can have more capacity.
Great video, with the new facial recognition ability can separate notifications be set for each family member. For example I hate being notified every time I walk through the room but want to be alerted when my father, Alzheimer’s, is wandering.
Currently notifications based on whom was detected isn’t a thing although it will tell you who it has detected if they have been added as a familiar face.
Does the new home base have a longer range to connect with all cameras? I am having issues with one cam losing connection, which is the one furthest away from the base . I have swapped cams to ensure it is not the camera and it all points to a slight weak connection to the base.
I did not know a video can have a shape 🙂 Do you get notifications from the doorbell camera when the internet is down? In other words, can data/video flow from the camera to the homebase 3 to the cellphone directly?
That would require the Homebase to have a inbuilt 5G modem or be connected to 5G hotspot dongle over WiFi
hi Scott, Pls put a video as well when adding floodlight, I got 2 as well. Another question please. When using Geofencing after all cams added, meaning that you only would get one single notification that system switched to Away or Home after you added all stand alone cams?
I will do once the update is out. Yes with all cams in Homebase only one setting and only one notification for geofencing which seems to be much quicker on the Homebase 3
Really appreciate your quick feedback. Looks reasonable to update.
I added my face but still the eufy can 3C is not recognising me. I tried this under very good lighting and looking straight into the camera.
How to train the camera to detect me better?
In the app i often go into Edge and then assign unfamiliar faces to familiar ones to help the learning and this seems to work well for me and people get recognised much better so maybe the AI just needs a little help from us mere humans :-D
Will the eufycam 2 pro cameras work with this also
They do indeed :-)
Question! Does the new home base allow the cameras to do continuous recording to storage 😎
No sadly 24/7 isn’t available. Still only on the cabled indoor cameras. Thanks for question.
Does it work with iPhone, Apple Homekit, providing online streaming?
App works with iPhone but it’s not currently HomeKit compatible.
Is the latency for something like a Doorbell improved over the Homebase 2?
Yeah I would say so. It loads quicker and then the feed delay is minimal to the point of not noticing.
why does that eufycam 3 footage look like a 1080p video? isnt it suppose to look as good as your camera considering they are both 4k?
Hi bro, love ya vids and great presentation :)
ha ha @ your weight of the home base in metric and measurements in 350 and 500 tenths of a inch experial. I'm in Australia and it's metric here thank goodness.
Reason I'm typing this to you... cheers for the info vids, I have two home base 2 with two 2C pro cams hooked to each [was cheaper to buy my setup that way] and I have one home base positioned at either end of the house used as wi fi repeater stations as my cams are a long way from the house and one motion detector hooked to one of the home bases.
It may have been an update, I can't remember if I've had it from the get go, which the app tells me.. "we have protected you for 280 days" but I can chose different alert tones for each camera from the app. Carry on and all the best!!
i wanted to buy two E2 cameras but it turns out that if I want an internal siren need the homebase. I can only get the homebase 3 which has battery because our country has daily power outs
Does this have the feature where you can have a live feed onto a stationary screen similar to like a baby monitor style set up (I understand it has the phone feature which would be good for after hours). Looking to have it set up in a office space that has front door, back door and retail space.
Can someone name the song at the end please? Great video!
It's a stock audio file from Epidemic Sound called: ES_Throw Shades (SLCT Remix) - Da Tooby.mp3
10:08 not a new feature.
I have Eufy 2 homebase sensors plus 1 camera. It has been working perfectly for 1.5 year. Recently the app very slow and unresponsive. basically useless. Is there any experience what can cause this? i tried to uninstall reinstall app, but its the same? Could it be that the 16Gb storage is full? Thanks.
I’ve checked with my brother who has the HB2 and he said it hasn’t noticed anything like this. Has anything else in your environment changed with wireless devices or router changes etc?
Can someone with these solar cameras tell me if they are okay in Uk where there isn’t much sunlight
I have 4 of these and they have been fine so far but let’s see how it goes now approaching winter!
Great video, subscribed. In the video you said the Homebase 3 was compatible with your floodlight cam 2 pro. But the compatibility list says it’s not compatible until March. Is it comparable now? Did you get it to work?
Hi, sorry for the ambiguity. It is compatible but as you say not yet, I’m eagerly waiting!
@@scottpinhorne cheers, so are you running both home stations (2 & 3) at the same time? Who do you find that?
@@rhodesianridgeback4718 I was for a week whilst i tested and migrated things over to the new one. Now just the Hmebase 3 🙂
@@scottpinhorne wait, so is it compatible or not yet?
Is the homekit still available for cam 2c after added to homebase 3?
Just bought a homebase through the eufy app with 50£ discount but haven’t opened yet as I’m ok with homebase 2 and my main use is the homekit compatibility. I wonder if that still on, before I commit to unpack the homebase 3 😁
Cheers
Does the Homebase 3 work with the wireless dual-camera doorbell? From what I have read it doesn't but then I read other places that it does work with the new Homebase.
No sadly not yet, they are saying late April at the mo. support.eufy.com/s/article/Centralize-Your-Security-Ecosystem-with-HomeBase-3
