Disappointing
It's all just disappointing notifications never come through .. even though I have reinstalled it and made sure all settings are correct even on my phone and battery life is absolutely appalling even with solar panels one of them has gone flat in under 20 days. I to the company from their online troubleshooting guide and all you do is get stuck in an endless AI chatbot that does help or resolve anything at all

Home security
The picture is really clear night and day. I’m having some difficulty with cameras going offline when I’m away and also knowing how to manage alarms. It’s not intuitive. However, I like that there is no ongoing cost and they were easy to install

Things to consider
Compared with more premium security systems, this kit relies on 16 GB built-in local storage unless you add your own USB flash drive, and it may offer fewer advanced analytics than specialist high-end models.
Smart home integration score
9/10 - Works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit for flexible smart home compatibility.
Night vision performance
8/10 - MaxColour Vision improves night-time clarity for more useful after-dark footage.
Outdoor weather suitability
9/10 - IP66-rated cameras are well suited to outdoor installation in normal rain and wind.
Pet & package monitoring fit
Good for general front-door and yard monitoring, with two-way audio for checking visitors and deliveries.
Installation ease
8/10 - Wireless cameras, HomeBase 2 hub and solar support make setup relatively straightforward for most homes.
Key benefits
- 4-Camera Coverage: Four cameras help you monitor multiple entry points and outdoor zones in one system.
- 2K Video Recording: Higher detail makes it easier to review people, movement and activity around your home.
- IP66 Weather Resistance: Cameras can be mounted outdoors for dependable use in normal rain and wind.
- MaxColour Vision Night Vision: Captures clearer after-dark footage for better visibility at night.
- PIR Motion Detection: Infrared sensing helps reduce unwanted motion alerts compared with basic motion-only detection.
- Local Storage Included: Built-in 16 GB storage lets you save recordings without ongoing subscription fees.
- Expandable Storage: You can increase storage up to 256 GB with a USB flash drive to keep more footage locally.
- Solar Power Support: Solar charging reduces the need for manual recharging during regular use.
Q: Does this eufy system need a cloud subscription to record footage?
A: No. The eufyCam E40 system records to the included HomeBase 2, so everyday recording does not rely on a paid cloud plan. It starts with 16GB of local storage and can expand to 256GB with a USB flash drive.
Q: Can these cameras store video on an SD card?
A: No. This system uses the included HomeBase 2 for local recording rather than a camera-mounted SD card slot. Storage starts at 16GB in the hub and can be expanded to 256GB with a USB flash drive, sold separately.
Q: Will the cameras still need charging if they use solar power?
A: Yes, possibly. Solar charging is designed to reduce manual charging, not guarantee a fully maintenance-free setup in every location. Camera placement, sun exposure, recording activity and alert frequency all affect how often charging is needed.
Q: Are these cameras suitable for exposed outdoor areas around the house?
A: Yes. The cameras are rated IP66, which suits outdoor mounting in normal rain and wind around entry points, driveways and backyards. That rating does not mean they are designed for submersion or severe weather exposure without some shelter.
Q: How useful is the night vision for identifying activity after dark?
A: The eufyCam E40 uses MaxColour Vision night vision for clearer after-dark footage than basic black-and-white capture. It is well suited to watching entries and yards, but final detail still depends on placement, distance and available ambient light.
Q: Does the system work with Google, Alexa and Apple HomeKit?
A: Yes. The eufyCam E40 system is designed to work with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit through the included HomeBase 2. The exact controls and view options can vary by platform, so app-based setup remains important.
