HomeBase 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

Picked up this updated homebase for the newer security cameras. Works great and has the storage and technology that is needed for most of the indoor and outdoor security cams. Easy set up to WiFi and it accepted every camera that was added to it on the first try. Seems very durable and well made, like my homebase 2. I like the idea I can add more storage in the future. AI tracking is very good for motion detection. I like the choice between color and black/white in Night Vision. Super easy to control many of the features when using the app. The app also has my Eufy homebase 2 for my older video doorbells along with the Homebase 3. Very nice to have everything being controlled in one app. All cams are detailed and crystal clear. This Homebase is definitely something to invest in. While Homebase 2 is very similar, many of the new (higher tech) cams can't connect to Homebase 2. Homebase 3 is the choice. Recommend it highly.

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.

Better than expected. I installed this system in my dad's house with 4 cameras and a doorbell. I was worried about the system going down and me needing to repair it, but nope. After about 15 months everything still works perfectly. There was only one day of downtime (accidentally unplugged maybe). Easy to install. The solar power still works even through the winter time and snow. And we saved hundreds in subscription fees.

So far the new base 3 has worked very well. The added a I human detection, facial recognition and vehicle recognition have all been pretty cool. It's awesome that I can upgrade the storage to 16 TB, but the biggest drawback is that it only supports a 2 and 1/2 in hard drive. Most all surveillance hard drives for security systems are 3 and 1/2 in so you have to get a standard laptop. Hard drive to put in this and I'm not sure how that'll hold up long-term. All in all, this is a budget-friendly system that works well. Easy to set up and has local storage.

I have a few Eufy products and they all have terrible descriptions and instructions on there capabilities. For the Homebase it comes with a small hard drive already installed and holds about a month of videos from 3 cameras and then it just overwrites over the oldest videos. So you don't need to buy another hard drive unless you want to keep a record of more videos. Also the homebase will sound a ring if you have a doorbell camera. You have to have a homebase if you want to use the water sensors, which work really well BTW. All my Eufy products work very well and you can't be no monthly fee.

Excelente producto facil de instalar y muy útil

Arrived safely and packaged well. Operates as advertised. Happy so far.

Funciona con la red 2.4 Ghz, considera cambiar la red de tu celular si estas usando el 5G a 2.4 cuando estés configurando este aparato. El disco duro de 16gb ya viene listo para grabar. como comente en mi reseña de la camara E30, Alexa deja algo que desear, por lo que no puedo ver la imagen de la camara en la EcoShow , y el otro 50% se lo doy a la skill de Eufy. De momento solo me limito a ver los eventos grabados desde el celular, no utilizo el LiveView ya que la camara puede consumir mucha energía y es de batería. Tuve un detalle cuando llego el paquete porque la conexión eléctrica venia con adaptador europeo, pero el proveedor me mando un kit de conversion.
