Yeah it plugs in via Ethernet cable to the router. But we just bought a cheap Wi-Fi plug in booster (so we could position the Homebase where we wanted, as we didn’t want it next to the router). Doing this basically makes it wireless as you can plug it in wherever you want
Hi just watch your video I’m old School can you use the cameras indoors as I live in a small flat plus I don’t like wires around the house thank you for your time and great video by the way JJ
Heya, yes you could use It inside but I’d probably say that this is a bit ‘over the top’ for solely internal use. As these are usually used for outside they are built to withstand the cold and rain being weather sealed and also have the solar panels built in. Using them inside would mean the solar panels won’t see the sun so you would have to be charging them up ever few months or so… I’m sure Eufy would do other slightly cheaper cameras that are for internal use 👍🏻 hope this helps!
If you dont have a internet router installed at home can you connect it to your 5g mobile network instead basically tethering it to the mobile has the mobile is used has a internet hub instead???????
Brother, thank you for your review. I have a question about the homebes device. Does it have to be connected to the Ethernet wire all the time, or only at the beginning when setting up the device, and then it stays connected to WiFi without the need for a cable?
Hello . Thanks for the great video 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 " | set mine up and added 11 familiar faces and it still just says " someone has been seen " . Is there a setting I missed. Thanks
Question 1: Whats the cool off period for these cam before i can get an another motion alert. We know thiefs are straighr behind couriers when they dropp off a package. Question 2: they are military grade encrypted i mean the signal (video and sound?) So how durable are these cams to withstand wifi 2.4ghz jamming equipment (like a pendrive you can power up from a powerbank in your pocket) dodgy peoples may use against these cameras to stop them from working in order to get to your house
What is the delay from when some one/thing triggers a motion alert to when you actually get notification on your phone/device? I _think_ I saw somebody mention like 5-7 seconds? If thats the case, that scares me.
It all depends on your WiFi signal strength. Our internet/router isn’t great so it doesn’t reach very far, that’s why we used a booster to get the cameras/hub where we wanted
@@darkpassenger65 Wired connection is only "really" needed during setup I believe? Can you confirm this? Have you got the homebase on Wifi, acting as some kind of "repeater" to your devices?
I can confirm that the home base 3 does not have a Wi-Fi connection option in the settings. I also have a home base too that came with the doorbell and that has a Wi-Fi connection option in the settings so I do not think that the home base 3 is Wi-Fi capable
Got the system like you with 3 cameras. Only problem is motion on first camera installed is the only one sending notifications. All cameras were configured as Eufy wants, but something is not right with 2 of the 3 cameras-the last two setup as per instructions like the first camera, but they do not send notifications on movement like the first camera does perfectly. Any suggestions for help?? Thanks and loved the video.
Hey, not sure if I can help but if you go into ‘security’ then go into the cameras Homebase, then go into the security mode you want it on by clicking the settings cog and have a look of notifications are turned on for each individual camera you want notifications from. That might be why only one camera is sending notifications
Which wifi extender did you use in the video? Is there any particular reason that you chose this extender over others? During recent house renovation, I removed all the Ethernet cables. So now my hb3 is placed in the garage which is certainly non ideal. Need to find a way to relocate it into my home office :) thanks
I am planning to buy eufy cam 3 4k. I want to install one outside and one inside the house. Will ot work the one inside the house ? Even there is no sunlight direct to the solar panel.
Very impressed and loving your videos! Were braving a real renovation for the first and last time as were in our fifties We are taking on a rather old (don't know how many hundreds of years) English granite stone built farmhouse, so want to pour our hearts into it. I have watched so many sales videos and quite a few dodgy DIY ones as well, but yours is exactly where we feel we are. Its going to take a few years, but! if you ever fancy a trip over and compare, we live in the best part of the UK, Cornwall. Good luck with the online stuff, your really good and will appeal to most. Where's the accent from?
Yeah it will start to replace the oldest files. So if anything happens you should download it and back it up on your phone or computer etc. But the storage will last for a very long time especially if you put in a hard drive like we did
I never thought I would be so geeked for a security system. Installing mine today on the house. Kinda regret not paying the extra $100 to go from 16gb to 1 tb
@aynose to be honest I'm glad I didn't go for the more pricier version for the memory. I've been getting by perfectly fine, it tells me if it's getting full and it will automatically start deleting oldest first to make room for the newest recording. Still very happy with my purchase
There are 2 big issues with this … 1. The range for human motion detection is hardly 7-8 ft as opposed to the Eufy’s claim upto 26 ft. 2. The camera wakes up with a lag of 3-4 seconds in event of human detection. That lag coupled with limited range is so significant that any intruder can easily gain access to your home. This is an expensive toy that pretends to be a security system which it is not. Buyers need to be careful with this if they are looking for a robust security system for your home. It just doesn’t work as claimed.
Pretty awesome to wake up in the morning and first thing I see is you yay! That camera is badass You both look great God bless peace be with you much love and respect
4 minutes in, is it wise having power running through the cable as you put it into the device? Isn't there a chance this may cause it to blow or cause a fire? Security wise, glad to see no footage regarding the second camera. Other than a brief mention of front door.
"Thanks for contacting eufy customer support and giving us a chance to address your inquiry. Sincerely sorry to say S330 doesn't support Homekit currently. HomeKit is still undergoing development, please stay tuned! We currently have no plans to support Matter. Sorry for the inconvenience we bring to you. Thanks for your understanding." So this "great S330" is not so great.....
Eufy customer service is a nightmare to deal with, I have been talking to them for 4 weeks and not only they give me false information they are not honoring their warranty terms, I paid $600 for S330 and one of the cameras isn't working. Eufy customer service has been jerking me around and not changing my Camera.
I have never had a problem with Eufy support. As soon as I had an issue and reported it, I got a response within 24 hours and they worked with me until it was fixed. This issue occurred four months ago.
At 3:48 you go very fast. Do you mean that the s380 cannot connect to the router via Wi-Fi?
This is a no go for me
Yeah it plugs in via Ethernet cable to the router. But we just bought a cheap Wi-Fi plug in booster (so we could position the Homebase where we wanted, as we didn’t want it next to the router). Doing this basically makes it wireless as you can plug it in wherever you want
Thank you for the idea. I don't have a free router port but I do have a Samsung Smarthings wifi mesh puck that I can plug the Eufy into.
it's 7:17am here in Ohio and this is the best way to start my day ....miss seeing you both hope all is well with you and your families

A really helpful video. S380 all ordered. Thank you James and Hollie!
At last someone that discuss and shows examples of HomeBase 3 AI. Thank you!
If you dont have a internet router installed at home can you connect it to your 5g mobile network instead basically tethering it to the mobile has the mobile is used has a internet hub instead???????
Can you switch off the siren sound off using the application? The siren out of the cameras and the home base system, especially when you are away.
do they have a doorbell that works with homebase 3?
Brother, thank you for your review. I have a question about the homebes device. Does it have to be connected to the Ethernet wire all the time, or only at the beginning when setting up the device, and then it stays connected to WiFi without the need for a cable?
It needs to be plugged in all the time. We have ours plugged into a wireless extender so we can position it wherever we want 👍🏻
Which hard drive do I buy to fit this homebase 3? Links if you have them too please
Hello . Thanks for the great video 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 " | set mine up and added 11 familiar faces and it still just says
" someone has been seen " . Is there a setting I missed. Thanks
The sticker say 24/7 monitoring but can it be set to always record instead of just events
Does the new Homebase 3 provide additional functionality, to allow you to turn off multiple/all cameras at once?
Question 1: Whats the cool off period for these cam before i can get an another motion alert. We know thiefs are straighr behind couriers when they dropp off a package.
Question 2: they are military grade encrypted i mean the signal (video and sound?)

How far away can the camera be from the hub for it to be a problem ???
Thanks peter
It all depends on your WiFi signal strength. Our internet/router isn’t great so it doesn’t reach very far, that’s why we used a booster to get the cameras/hub where we wanted
Excellent video - thanks for that. Will be buying a 4 camera set today!
What's your opinion of the system
I don’t see a Wi-Fi option, you have that option on home base 2.
I have the same concerns about this. A Wireless homebase is a must for me. I can't see this point specifically addressed anywhere online.
Oh crap, you're right. I already bought one, just haven't installed it yet. I guess I'll have to plug it into a wi-fi extender like they did.
@@darkpassenger65 Wired connection is only "really" needed during setup I believe? Can you confirm this? Have you got the homebase on Wifi, acting as some kind of "repeater" to your devices?
The Wi-Fi option is not in the new app. So probably no Wi-Fi option.
I can confirm that the home base 3 does not have a Wi-Fi connection option in the settings. I also have a home base too that came with the doorbell and that has a Wi-Fi connection option in the settings so I do not think that the home base 3 is Wi-Fi capable
So does each camera connect to home wifi or does the home base generates its own wifi?
Got the system like you with 3 cameras. Only problem is motion on first camera installed is the only one sending notifications. All cameras were configured as Eufy wants, but something is not right with 2 of the 3 cameras-the last two setup as per instructions like the first camera, but they do not send notifications on movement like the first camera does perfectly.

We just went for a cheap TP-Link (AC750 I think) which has worked really well and the main reason was we didn’t want to spend loads and it not work!
@@BARBSTER360 Understood. However, do you think AC750 can stream 4k live?
Can you turn off notifications for familiar faces? I can’t seem to find the answer to this anywhere.
I have a eufy3 and I need a link to the 16 tb memory???
I am planning to buy eufy cam 3 4k. I want to install one outside and one inside the house. Will ot work the one inside the house ? Even there is no sunlight direct to the solar panel.
Does this work with indoor cams?
Very impressed and loving your videos!

Where's the accent from?
@@RichardKeefe-i2x haha thank you very much and good luck on your reno adventure, it sounds great fun! The accent is from Somerset 😅
How long does it record continued motion?
james and Hollie I love your videos
What about adding your existing cameras that are attached to the Homebase 2 ?
holy cow, how can you verify your channel with 43k subs????? I can't do that with 70k, jesussss. Can you guys suggest one? Thanks!
“Actually” fair play to both of ye for all the hard work 👍🏻
So is the app access available from anywhere? Thanks for the video review. I may be in the market soon.
it is yes, you have full control over the cameras and get notifications etc from anywhere :)
If you use all of the memory will it just record over it?
Yeah it will start to replace the oldest files. So if anything happens you should download it and back it up on your phone or computer etc. But the storage will last for a very long time especially if you put in a hard drive like we did
I never thought I would be so geeked for a security system. Installing mine today on the house. Kinda regret not paying the extra $100 to go from 16gb to 1 tb
I believe you can add an external drive inside the home base for cheap and bigger then 1tb isn’t? 😅 bc if not then I also bought the 16gb 😢 haha
@aynose to be honest I'm glad I didn't go for the more pricier version for the memory. I've been getting by perfectly fine, it tells me if it's getting full and it will automatically start deleting oldest first to make room for the newest recording. Still very happy with my purchase
Thanks! do I see a different frame at night, narrower, than during day?
does the system work with Google Assistant to build a smart home?
I believe so (even though it not got Google assistant to try it) but I have linked it to my Alexa 👌🏻
Has anyone used the new s330 with homemade 2 ?
Only thing missing is HomeKit support
There are 2 big issues with this …

This is an expensive toy that pretends to be a security system which it is not.
Buyers need to be careful with this if they are looking for a robust security system for your home. It just doesn’t work as claimed.
What I want to know about this system is how easy is it to add other users so they can view the cameras in real time
Pretty awesome to wake up in the morning and first thing I see is you yay! That camera is badass You both look great God bless peace be with you much love and respect
4 minutes in, is it wise having power running through the cable as you put it into the device? Isn't there a chance this may cause it to blow or cause a fire? Security wise, glad to see no footage regarding the second camera. Other than a brief mention of front door.
Eufy notification on IOS is immediate or delayed, some review give bad review for notification delay to receive either email or push one
Another great video from you both very clear and informative well done love your vids keep it coming
🙌🏻 thank you so much
Just installed mine and surprise no wifi option
Outstanding quality!

11:02 is easily the highlight of this video.
Such an interesting video....lots of effort and work put into it ...I appreciate yalls hard work. Have a lovely day James and Hollie!!!

Customer support is undoubtedly pathetic. All they do is, they keep sending you different links to FAQs hoping that you would get exhausted.
I have never had a problem with Eufy support. As soon as I had an issue and reported it, I got a response within 24 hours and they worked with me until it was fixed. This issue occurred four months ago.
@@wifeocaster Good for you!
@@HoomanM It is good, but should be good for you too. Maybe they’ve gotten better since you last reached out? Hope you got the help
you needed.
It does not support two way audio! You can only heard or talk one at a time - but not both! False advertising??
Did you get paid by eufy for this
cost =£500
Did you get £40 off that?
