- In this video we take a look at @eufy 5 piece home alarm system. This is incredibly easy and simple to set up. I had this out of the box and set it up in about 15 minutes. The door sensors and motion sensor are incredibly easy to attach to the wall by using the 3m tape or screws provided. We also take a closer look at the Eufy home security app and how that works. One the main selling points for the eufy home security kit is there are no monthl;y fees and also everything is stored locally on the base station. You can choose to store in the cloud if you wish to do so.

As alert eufy is a soft system a burglar is not scared of! Burglar can switch the alarm off simply by unplug the homebase power plug. The homebase give a little beep so the burglar know were to find it to switch power off. If the Eufy system manage to give an alert sound this sound is inhouse and this sound (beep) is very low. So no one will hear the alarm sound outside the house! 😳
If you also got the Eufy cameras these give also a very low (soft) beep sound and also only for the time this camer see a person (movement). The mostly give an alert sound only for 5 seconds! More Eufy cameras can not sound the alert together by any alert trigger in the Eufy system and the homebase can not set also the alert sound of the cameras when an alert is triggert. Linking all cameras and homebase(s) so that they sound an alarm together is easy to program and is a missed opportunity from makers the Eufy system. These videos here are paid commercials to promote the Eufy products.
You do not need the alert keyboard because you can also set all these functions (Away/Home/...) through or in your Eufy app on your phone or tablet 😲
If the power is cut by tge burglar the Eufy homebase will not work any more. So no alert is given by your Eufy alarm system and because 230V power is off your wifi will not send you any Eufy alert notifications!
Alll in all not a good system for scaring away burglars. An external loud alarm / siren device is missing from the Eufy program and present alert possibilities are not flexible or loud enough to scare burglars.
The lack of exterior Siren is totally baffling to be honest. Very bizarre
Not able to hear it? How big is your house??
I have this and it is easily heard throughout a large 4 bed house. If you automate camera alarms to sound when the base station sounds too, it would take a pretty determined burglar to hang around during that din...
Good video, nice and clear and to the point!
Much appreciated!
Best review by far. Anyone know if the beeps when setting the alarm can be disabled to avoid waking the household at night?
Can I arm and disarm my doorbell and pan tilt camera, with the alarm system?
Is there a way to disable the beeping on the keypad itself? Would be used to arm and disarm entry sensors but I have a baby and would be afraid the beeping would wake her if I’m setting it before I went to bed
a ups on your router and modem plus the new back up for the base station would work very nicely
Agree. Gives you a safety net from your powercut
geo fencing question. if I am home and my wife leaves, with geo fencing to arm system, does it not arm because i am home, or does it arm anyway when she leaves, even if I am at home.?
Great video
Thanks
With this system would I be able to say hey Siri arm or disarm alarm?
I have homebase security camera. Can i use for the alarm?If so, i only need to buy sensors right?
anker.force.com/s/article/Compatibility-Between-eufySecurity-Devices - This tells you all the compatibility for the products across home base models. But essentially yes you can just buy the sensors.
Is there a maximum number of cameras and sensors you can connect to the hub two?
This is from Eufy's website:
"For devices that connect to eufy HomeBase
One eufy HomeBase 2 supports up to 16 cameras +16 entry sensors +15 motion sensors+3 keypads.
One eufy HomeBase 3 can pair with 16 cameras + 34 other compatible devices.
However, it is recommended to set up devices on multiple HomeBases when more than 10 cameras need to be added to the eufy Security app for optimal performance."
Nice video! I have a question. Is the eufy alarmsystem compatible with google home? And is it working good?
Yes and yes. For a DIY solution, really good and easy to set up.
Hi, I would like to know how is you experience with the system after couple years used. Thank un advance.
It worked well for the senario i needed it for.
Can you have more than one keypad like simplisafe?
You can have more than one keypad to the same base station, but you cant have more than one keypad control multiple base stations.
I wonder if you can have 2 or more keypads per 1 base station
From Eufy's website:
One eufy keypad can only be set up on one HomeBase and not on multiple HomeBases at the same time. However, one HomeBase can have multiple keypads set up on the same HomeBase.
@@InsideWire perfect. So if I have a duplex I can have a base station in 1 unit and a keypad in both.
Is there (or will there be) a way to make your phone have an alarm instead of just a notification when motion is detected?
At the moment its notification
What happens if there is no WiFi - the system will not notify you, or the alarm will not working as all?
Correct. You wouldnt get any notifications
Use a UPS
Is it easy to charge them?
Yes some are batteries and some are USB
Good Video , what is the USB port for?
Charging the keypad
This is not a suitable alternative to Ring Alarm in my opinion as it is internet and power dependent (what I mean by that is no backup battery and no cellular backup).
Not really bye-bye ring, eufy feels like a toy compared to ring, eufy isn’t a burglar alarm its more of a smart home system that alerts you to movement and entry
Could you explain how the Ring is different? I would like to understand with more details if possible.
@@glufke Eufy makes great cameras, but their alarms….aren’t so great. The base station siren isn’t loud and wouldn’t suffice for a larger home and sounds like a police toy car unlike a real alarm siren and has no additional options for sirens, Reason 2, the sensors, eufy’s alarm kit only consists of two sensors, the Door Sensor & the motion sensor, It feels a little unfinished and doesn’t offer the basics of a security system. Reason 3, The Monitoring, Eufy’s monitoring, compared to ring, eufy’s monitoring uses noonlight and is priced the same as ring, but offers protection I wouldn’t rely on, noonlight uses text messaging to alert you and calls and their app and system suggest its more off a security 2nd approach if you understand what I’m trying to convey.
Ring isn’t the best when i comes to security system, but… if you’re looking for a diy solution that is smart then ring isn’t a bad choice, reason being they offer not just 2 sensors but things like Smoke/Co detector, Water leak, freeze sensor, Panic button, motion, door/window sensor and feels like an actual security system compared to eufy, Reason 2, they offer outdoor siren options and the ability to set off all your ring camera sirens at the same time when the alarm goes off, so you don’t just rely on the base station, Reason 3, ring offers professional monitoring from rapid response a 29+ years in the business, UL & FM listed monitoring service that multiple big names in security rely on, and ring offers cellular backup in case the Wi-Fi goes down so you’re alarm isn’t reliant on Wi-Fi unlike eufy and also has battery backup. By now im pretty sure why you wouldn’t wanna go with eufy, but who would i actually recommend eufy alarm too? Well, people that is in the eufy ecosystem and just want an “alert system” that notify’s them off a possible intrusion on their home and decide themselves. These are the differences and what why you should avoid eufy alarm, but by no means eufy is bad, I personally use eufy cams and have zero complaints
@@glufke sorry it took me so long to reply
Not so much now eufy allows protection plans you can pay for now it’s like $5 a month and $10 a month versions
