In this video I'll be showing you how to set up the Eufy S380 HomeBase and integrate it with your existing Eufy security camera system. This new hombease gives you access to Eufy's advanced BionicMind AI features, and much more! Including the option to upgrade the storage from the built in 32gb to any size you want! Yes that's right; ANY SIZE HDD as long as its the 2.5in formfactor. In this video I also show you how to install/upgrade your storage by installing a Hard Drive in this HomeBase3. I purchased the 4 TB Samsung 870 QVO SSD, but you can get any 2.5" HDD that you would like and the installation process will be the same when upgrading your Home Base 3. Let me know if you have any questions.

TBH I'm not shocked. They're so affordable for large manufactures that buy at this scale it only costs them pennies. They could give it away and call it an upgrade.

Great video, I appreciate you taking the time to make it. I do have one for ya. The floodlights (e340) allow for continuous 24/7 recording to the HomeBase. What size hard drive would you recommend? I only have the floodlight and the doorbell. I could probably buy the 2TB Samsung qvo but not sure if that would fill up too quickly.

Yes. Unfortunately because my doorbell is older it only works with the homebase 2 so they're both still connected.

@jneyamozambique3506 Месяц назад

The S380 HomeBase 3 comes with 16GB of built-in storage. If you want to expand the local storage, you can add an external hard drive with a serial ATA (SATA) interface, supporting capacities of up to 16TB. Popular brands like Western Digital, Seagate, SAMSUNG, Kingston, PNY, and Crucial are recommended. Just ensure that the hard drive meets the specified requirements, including a 2.5-inch size and a maximum power of 6W (5V/1.2A). After installation, you’ll find the expanded storage in the app under HomeBase > Storage Management > Storage > HD

Suggestion for future video's: (1) Connecting other camera's (like HikVision) and (2) how to setup recognition for those cams. I have seen a couple of video's now but I've not seen a web-interface. So more about the app please. And maybe: (3) how to download a section of a recording to send to the police. Is it easy, cause with Hikvision it is DRA-MA :) (that's why I'm switching).

I don't know if it does work with other brand cameras. And downloading videos can be done within the app. Then shared from there

@ZzzMajinzzZ 14 дней назад

Once installed and format, does it automatically store all videos on the external drive or do you need to set it for each camera?

@GrantButler 14 дней назад

@ZzzMajinzzZ it's not clear to me, but I "think" it's an overflow system. You set up your cameras to store to the HB3 then it will fill it's (16gb) internal storage, then the older stuff will be moved to the external storage when it's full.

Hi thnx for explaining. Two questions: we have a notification about a "USB for back-up" , is that required (we have a 380Gb HDD inside)?? And: it looks like nothing gets recorded on the HDD, how can we see the footage from it?? Ps:We have no camera installed yet, only a doorbell.

Is your doorbell using the HomeBase3? If it's one of the older doorbells they may not be compatible with the HomeBase3

Yes, Homebase 3 and doorbell bought in one package.

@scrubs026 if you've followed thr steps I'm not sure what to do. My first guess would be to check firmware. Next would be make sure you're near the lock when connecting, after that I'd reach out to support. They've been super helpful when I needed them

@jeanrafes Месяц назад

Hi, can you connect wirelessly? Thank you for the video

@GrantButler 22 дня назад

depends on how you look at the wording/definition. I'm pretty sure it needs to be plugged in to your router or your network some how. However, you can connect to it from your phone to review videos and manage it wirelessly, as long as the base is wired into your network.

@sad6006 День назад

Hello Grant, thanks for the video. I have a question, is it possible to connect cameras from a different wifi net than the wifi net from the home base?

@GrantButler День назад

@sad6006 I don't think so, in a traditional home Wi-Fi environment, however if you have an advanced IT set up where the two networks can communicate with each other freely then it should work

Hello everyone. I have also been using the Homebase 3 with a total of 3 cameras for 2 weeks. I have also installed the 1TB hard drive supplied by Eufy in the Homebase 3. About 4 days ago, I suddenly heard the fan roaring very loudly. I then took the Homebase off the network and removed the hard drive again. However, it was only lukewarm and the room was only 20 degrees Celsius / 68 degrees Fahrenheit. So, I reinstalled the hard drive and restarted the Homebase. After 2 hours, the same problems occurred again. The fan noise is so loud that I can hear it throughout the entire house at night. Does anyone else have this problem? I have installed the system version 3.5.0.9 / subsystem version 1.4.0.8. Is there a solution for this?

@Tomarsnback. Месяц назад

Be cautious on expanding the HD over 1tb, i have read numerous discussions on reddit with people having issues when expanding over 1 to 2tb max. I guess there are latency issues as well as corrupt data issues with some expanding to the bigger drives.

That's why I said stick to reputable brands, and even gave recommendations.

@Tomarsnback. Месяц назад

Yeah, That issue might be with the brand your right but, the other issues they are having doesn't matter what brand you use. I guess it's more of a issue with the homebase 3 port itself. More that a few have had to be sent back for replacement, great thing is I haven't seen one case where Euphy didn't replace them at no cost so that's awesome. I'm still looking forward to mine coming in the mail. I ordered a 250gig HDD to go with because that is all I'm going to need w 3 cameras.
