eufy SecurityHomeBase S380 (HomeBase 3),eufy Edge Security Center, Local Expandable Storage up to 16TB, eufy Security Product Compatibility, Advanced Encryption,2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, No Monthly Fee

I bought the Eufy security homebase S380 along with a Eufy security camera about 6 or 7 months ago and I have been very pleased with both my purchases. I bought these products because they were priced right at the time, and I was looking for a solar security camera that I wouldn't have to worry about paying a subscription fee to each month to store my security camera videos.As for the Eufy security homebase, I do like the aesthetics or design of the homebase and it is small enough you can place it anywhere. If I remember correctly, the homebase come with 16 GBs of memory, but is expandable to 16 TB. I was fine with the 16 GB of memory that it came with as I deleted most of the videos my security camera captured, but did decide to add 1 TB of memory just in case I needed it later. The instructions were easy to follow, and it only took me a few minutes to set it up and the homebase connected easily to the Eufy security camera. When I added the additional memory, it was easy to install.In the 6 or 7 months that I have had the homebase I have not had any problems and/or issues, with either the homebase or security camera. I should also add that the videos saved by the security camera to the homebase are clear and are easily accessible through the Eufy app. If you don't want to pay any monthly subscription fees or if you don't want your security camera footage stored on someone else's server then this is the way to go. I am very pleased with both Eufy's homebase and their security camera, as they had all the features I had been looking, and it was a good price at the time. I do highly recommend this homebase.

I should note, that I am only a week into usage after my purchase and setup/install of the cameras and Homebase. If anything collapses and my cameras assist Skynet in the takeover on August 29, 2025, then I'll update later.I ordered the S380 Homebase to accompany three Eufy S340 Solocams. Then I ordered a Samsung 870EVO 1TB SSD. Hooking up the Homebase was a simple as a) installing the app on my iPhone 15Pro Max. b) plugging the ether-net cord into my router and then into the Homebase c) plugging the Homebase into a power source and d) following the instructions in the app to gain access to the Homebase and the cameras (pushing the sync button, scanning the QR codes on the base and cameras).I cannot vouch for anyone else's experience, as I have only mine, but the walk-through on the app was straightforward and worked easily. I had no issue getting the Homebase to recognize my router and then getting the Homebase to recognize the cameras. Even after I accidentally turned off the power to it, it was nothing more than ensuring that it was plugged back in. Less than two minutes later, all cameras were communicating with the Homebase again and I could run through the menus and playbacks without a problem.Installing the extra storage drive - on the face of it - was super easy. Just unplug the base, attach the drive and slide it back into the base. The Homebase recognized my SSD right away (Use the app to check the status and whether or not it 'sees' it), and all I had to do after that was format it. Boom, I have enough storage I won't have to worry about it for an extended period.Again, I cannot speak to anyone else's issues, but my set up and experience so far has been seamless. I do wonder if firmware updates have resolved some of the issues other folks experienced. So far so good and I have no complaints at the moment. I do believe that having your router centrally located in your home will help with connectivity. Also, I noted that by simply moving the Homebase out from BEHIND a TV and instead to the left of it and thus closer to two cameras, connectivity improved immediately for one camera. Knock on wood, ALL three cameras are solidly connected.This system was a relatively easy choice for me. I had two people I trust recommend it. It was on par with or a little less than other brands with similar capabilities and features (Nest, Ring, Arlo). There is no subscription fee and with the ability to dramatically upgrade storage, you likely will never need cloud storage if you're just using it for home security (I would say a business might have different needs). Not having to pay a subscription fee will (albeit slowly) offset the cost of the system and SSD I purchased.

This was super easy to setup. I am not a techy person, in fact, I am certain tech devices hate me, but this was easy for me to setup and use. I started with it on the ethernet but moved it to WiFi. It easily connects to all the devices. Upgrading the storage was so simple with a 4TB SSD I had from my son's old laptop. Formatted the SSD, with the app, it records all clips when cameras are triggered by motion and connects all the devices to one place. The siren is loud enough to hear in from the other rooms upstairs. Didn't even realize all the features it had when I ordered it. I recommend this product for home security with no monthly fees. Works with my Alexa or Siri/Apple Home. You have to pick one or the other though. You can't have both.

A must-have for the security management and storage for our 6 cameras and doorbell, super easy to setup, and works smoothly so far. One star off, since it is advertised as 16GB local storage, but the system alone takes up to around 6GB, so there's only 10GB left for videoclips storage, which won't afford one month of usage. Considering the price, Eufy should provide more storage space no less than 500GB. We'll see how long this device lasts.

FOR YEARS, I HAVE BEEN USING RING, BLINK AS MY SECURITY SURVELIANCE HOME CAMERAS AND HOME BASE. NOT ANYMORE. II RECENTLY BOUGH A HOME BASE AND COUPLE OF MORE CAMERAS, THE BEST I EVER BOUGH, NO MORE MONTLY FEES, NO CLOUD STORAGE, AND THE 2K, 3K, 4K. THE BEST EVER. THESE ARE SO CLEAN, GOOD. VIDEO IS SPECTACULAR. OVERALL, SUPER GOOD. WITH THE AI TRACKING, EVER BETTER. THANKS eufy.
