Owners praise
  • Crisp 4K picture, some of the best image among wireless battery cameras
  • Built-in solar keeps cameras charged for years when mounted in good direct sunlight
  • Local storage with no monthly subscription, still works when the internet is down
Owners complain about
  • HomeBase 3 firmware updates repeatedly break notifications and motion detection even though live view still works; fixes are slow and the problem keeps returning
  • Poor, slow solar charging from the fixed-angle built-in panel, pushing many owners onto external panels or USB power
  • Batteries suddenly drop to 0% or the camera goes offline and won't re-sync, often needing a warranty replacement

Try Homebase3 Bro, Works fine in and around my House with one Home Base. Camera is EufyCam3/S330. Activate the Beta Mode (more power) in the options
