Hey folks, I hope this setup guide and first look at the eufy HomeBase 3 was useful! For the latest price and info on this hub, here is the Amazon link (commissions earned) ➡ geni.us/UF9B3MZ
Simon, great video with your explanations. Convinced me to purchase a combo package. I will save your video for my use when I need to follow your instructions. Thanks from Melbourne Australia. Cheers
Thanks for the instructions, I've ordered the homebase3 package includes the camera. It's arriving today, but the weather is raining most of the day. Wednesday looks promising to install the camera and hub cheers it's appreciated
I installed a 1TB ssd into HB3 and discovered the continuous recording will only work when connected to ethernet. However continuous recording will work if you don't install ssd and just use the 16gb internal memory. 1tb gives me 3 months continuous with one 3K camera S330 floodlight cam. If you do want your hb3 in a location with no ethernet you can simply plug it into a wifi extender then continuous recording is available.
Great review. I've currently got a Homebase 2 with 6 cameras connected and ordered a Homebase3. Do you know if you can transfer the cameras to the 3 from the 2 over the app or do you need to do it manually and sync each camera (which is what I needed to do when my first HB2 broke and I got a replacement 2 for it)
Thank you @SimonsReviews Does Home Base 3 (S380) now record native resolutions for each camera if recording 24/7? Eg 2K, 4K etc.. instead of reducing the resolution to 1920x1080 for some cameras? Could you please check your home base video settings?
Thank you for the video, very interested in the eufy system. Our concern is our Vodaphone Super hub. It has 2.4ghz 5ghz and 6ghz but you can't switch between them. Eufy system works with 2.4ghz. Did you have to switch off the 5ghz on your router?
What is the advantage of this compared to the cameras in the app? Save it to the HDD I know. But if you want to access the cameras and watch the recordings of the day, are these recordings displayed quickly? Now that I have not yet connected any cameras to the home base, it sometimes takes a while before I can see the history of the cameras in the app. Loading these takes takes quite a while without a home base... does this work faster with the cameras connected to the home base?
Why don’t they just bring out Wi-Fi one., because I Only have Wi-Fi broadband or could you take it to your families house for the initial set up and then use Wi-Fi after or not? Bring it back to your home and connect to Wi-Fi afterwards is that possible?
Is look easy. Only I spend 5 hours trying to connect the homebase 3 to app. The first time it asked to reset the homebase. I get the question to press the sync button for the piepsound and then it just wants to reset again. I bought the dual doorbel with homebase 2 (that one i couldnt install either), so I bought the homebase 3 hoping the problem would go solved. But that one I cant install either. I tried everything I could find, from 5 to 2,4ghz, p2p, enabled DHCP, check firewall, reseting etc. Anyone maybe other ideas I cant try?
did the stop stealing peoples images yet ? it is or was a issue of eufy stealing data / images . i have the e340ptz with a good sd card in it and it works great . i just ordered the home base so it has better storage and before i decide what other cameras i want . i probably wont get any for indoor cams due to them up loading our images and pics .
Good to hear it has worked well for you. I don't know anything about eufy using people's images, but I have not experienced that so all seems good. Thanks.
Stay away from Eufy. This garbage just doesnt work. It keeps sending old alarms. And when I open it, it only shows “unable to play video clips”. What a waste!!!
All security companies policy for sending your photo to third party to make money from it? ? What does it say about that? What about that? i guess it makes it safer? I always feel safer by uploading my bio information everywhere i go.

Oh interesting, thanks for sharing that technical info!

@simon how has it been so far with this system ? Give us your honest review.
What is the advantage of this compared to the cameras in the app? Save it to the HDD I know.

Now that I have not yet connected any cameras to the home base, it sometimes takes a while before I can see the history of the cameras in the app. Loading these takes takes quite a while without a home base... does this work faster with the cameras connected to the home base?
Can I use an app on my PC to watch live feed. Also is there an app for the Roku?
If the wifi for whatever reason turns off does the entire security system collapse?
Why don’t they just bring out Wi-Fi one., because I Only have Wi-Fi broadband or could you take it to your families house for the initial set up and then use Wi-Fi after or not? Bring it back to your home and connect to Wi-Fi afterwards is that possible?
Good if you’re not a HomeKit user.

My homebase has been flashing blue and red for days. Resetting, turning off the router, etc. didn't help. eufy customer service didn't help either
Doesn’t it have 16Tb, not 16gb?
It has 16 GB but can be expanded up to 16 TB.
@@Yossarian-uj9dh that sucks. Someone promoting it said it had 16tb out of the box
They spelled Yuffie wrong
