32%of 37 owners recommend
32% recommend · 3% neutral · 65% don't
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

45% recommend · 10% neutral · 45% don't
Owners praise
  • Works reliably over the long haul for many owners, with several running fine for a year or two
  • Decent video and night vision, plus two-way talk that owners say works as advertised
  • Flexible placement and easy to mount or set anywhere you want it
Owners complain about
  • Drops connection or stops sending notifications, sometimes for hours, regardless of router or signal
  • Misses motion or has hit-and-miss detection, and object detection feels dated
  • Battery drains fast, especially the more features you use, so you're frequently recharging or adding a solar panel

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
