Excellent product, and as usual fantastic customer service in the Preston store.
Took awhile to set up, I’m of an older generation so I’m slower. But with the initial advice from Reece in the Preston store and a phone call to Eufy customer service in Sydney and the help of Libby, It was up and running after 30minutes. I’m amazed at the quality of the cameras, they work very well. I would give this product 10 out of 10.

Cinema quality camera
We've been running the older Eufy 2K camera's and needed to replace one. As these were no longer available, we chose the E40 camera and Home Base package. Charged the new camera up, went through the simple steps on the app to connect to it and it seamlessly connected to our existing Home Base 2. The picture quality is awesome, with the night time vision being amongst the best I've seen with clear colours and shading making the video extremely clear. As an added bonus, the solar panel removes the need to retrieve the camera for charging. Very happy customer...

Q: What size home is this 2-camera kit best for?
A: eufy Eufycam E40 Essential is best suited to smaller homes, entry points and compact outdoor areas. Two cameras can cover a front door, driveway or courtyard well, but larger properties usually need extra cameras for broader coverage.
Q: Can I add more cameras to the E40 system later?
A: Yes. The E40 range includes add-on cameras, so this 2-camera kit does not lock you into only two views. If expansion matters, choose an E40 add-on camera that is compatible with HomeBase 2 rather than assuming any eufy camera will pair.
Q: Does the solar panel mean the cameras never need charging?
A: Not always. The built-in solar panel is designed to reduce manual battery top-ups, but charging still depends on placement and available daylight. In shaded spots or poor weather, the cameras may still need occasional manual charging.
Q: How much footage can the HomeBase 2 store?
A: HomeBase 2 includes 16GB of local storage for recordings from this kit. Capacity can be expanded to 256GB when a compatible USB flash drive is added, which suits buyers who want to keep more clips on the system itself.
Q: Will these cameras work with Apple HomeKit and Alexa?
A: Yes. eufy Eufycam E40 Essential supports Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control and smart home routines. App setup still matters, because assistant support does not replace the main camera management features.
Q: Is the night vision colour or just black and white?
A: eufy Eufycam E40 Essential supports colour night viewing through MaxColour Vision with 2K video. It is designed to show more scene detail in low light, but the result still depends on how much ambient light is available around the camera.
