Advisably, be sure to angle either camera’s body to about 7° down. With this, you can get a wide view. Even better, this positioning gives the body a gentle slope that allows water and snow to slide off without any hassle. As a deterrent, the eufyCam 3 features a functional anti-theft alert. This functionality alerts you if anyone attempts to steal your camera. But unfortunately, this feature is not available on the eufyCam 3C. However, the eufyCam 3 and eufyCam 3C feature a siren. If you think exterior lighting is already good enough, then you can settle for the spotlight or IR function to serve you through the night.

Pretty much, setting up the eufyCam 3 or eufyCam 3C is straightforward. So, if the ease of setting up is your chalk horse, it will be difficult to decide a choice between both cameras. The eufy app functionality When it comes to the build quality and design, the difference between both cameras is negligible, or perhaps inexistent. Both cameras feel pretty solid in hand. When you try to apply pressure, whether diagonally or horizontally, they will neither creak nor loosen. For this reason, the weatherproof ability of both cameras will function throughout every season.The eufy HomeBase 3 is a more improved, feature-rich device than its predecessor. It fits easily in any location where you want it, and it’s easy to set up. To set up the HomeBase 3, simply plug in its power cord and connect the Ethernet cable that comes with it to your Wi-Fi router and to the device. Then, hold the eufyCam 3 or the eufyCam 3C close to connect them. We thought the default 16GB a bit stingy, especially as more Eufy cameras can be added, but it’s actually a workable amount; it gives you a few weeks storage unless you get an unusual amount of triggering. Were you to add more cameras, or want longer storage, having the drive bay makes this a flexible system and the camera quality is tough to beat.

Der Bewegungssensor kann Objekte erkennen, die sich in einer Entfernung von 8-10 m bewegen. Die Erkennungsempfindlichkeit, die Montagehöhe und der Montagewinkel beeinflussen die Erfassungsreichweite der Geräte. Wir empfehlen, die Erkennungsempfindlichkeit nach Bedarf einzustellen. The motion sensor can detect objects moving 25-30 ft (8-10 m) away. Detection sensitivity, mounting height, and mounting angle will influence the detection distance of your devices. We recommend that you adjust the detection sensitivity as needed. The solar panels charge the built-in battery while sunlight is available. If the camera's current operation uses more power than the solar panel can provide, the battery level will reduce. The HomeBase 3 comes with an inbuilt storage of 16GB, but if you want more storage, you can add up to 16TB to it.The current operation of the camera is consuming power beyond what is normal. In this situation, you may need to adjust the configuration to reduce false triggers and excessive recording events. Try the following: There is also the activity zone setting. When you enable this feature, you will only capture motion limited to particular areas. This is particularly great if you have to deal with a number of false triggers like dancing tree branches. Thanks to the AI processing mentioned earlier, you can further toggle the motion detection feature. Sample video: This daylight video sample is good enough quality to make plain the weeds have beaten the grass and the lawn needs attention.

Again, the spotlight function of both cameras offers optimum illumination. It also allows you to tweak this function quality from high to medium and low. You can always leave it to medium or high and you’ll always get pretty crisp night videos.Adam is our resident expert on all aspects of camera drones and drone photography, from buying guides on the best choices for aerial photographers of all ability levels to the latest rules and regulations on piloting drones.

The app is also very easy to navigate and contains a good range of features. We liked the ‘anti-theft protection’ which will encourage your camera to be suspicious if the view changes from the position you have chosen to mount it at. We have to admit that, during our testing, the facial recognition didn’t seem to work, though the pet detection certainly did (‘pet’ seems to include foxes). The solar panels are not charging the device enough. One possibility is that the position of the camera is not allowing enough access to direct sunlight. In this case, adjust the position or location. It may also be that the weather is not ideal for solar charging. In this case, there is no need to worry. When the weather becomes sunny, normal charging will resume. The eufyCam 3 and eufyCam 3C confirm that you don’t have to settle for conventional IR night vision when you can get optimally illuminated color night vision at a similar price. You can operate both devices fully at colored night vision without taking too much toll on the camera. There is a bit of a difference in the top view. The eufyCam 3 houses a pretty sizable solar panel. This panel is absent in the eufyCam 3C. Still, remember you can use an external solar panel for it. But you will need to use a USB-C cable to actualize this. Below both devices, you’ll find a functional loudspeaker. This is what enables you communicate with anyone at your door.

Adding a 2.5-inch drive is as simple as pushing the vent at one end so it pops off, then opening the standard drive bay with a single screw. Build quality feels great. (Image credit: Adam Juniper/Digital Camera World) HomeBase 3 is built with 16GB of storage to store up to 3 months of videos. And if that's not enough, expand to up to 16TB with a portable hard drive to save years of recordings. In winter, where gloomy days and snowfalls are the reality, of course, solar charging will be impeded because snow tends to cover the panel. But during this period, you enjoy prolonged battery life with these cameras. Up to 16 TB Expandable Local Storage* (Additional Storage Drive Not Included) (The operating system will occupy a portion of the built-in storage capacity) Wenn Cloud-basierte Funktionen wie Cloud-Speicher oder Push-Benachrichtigungen mit Vorschau verwendet werden, können Videos oder Vorschaubildschirmaufnahmen je nach Bedarf an die Cloud gesendet werden, um die gewählte Funktion auszuführen.
