Eufy S100 Portch Light Cam | FULL Unboxing Tutorial and Review

I recently purchased this new Wall Light Cam for my home. It's modern sleek design upgrades the look of my home, and provides peace of mind knowing that I can keep an eye on my home from anywhere.
It has adjustable lights that can face out to light the area, or can be turned around like an "Architectural lighting" and light the home its self. This comes in handy when there's a neighbors home nearby and you don't want to be "that neighbor". The lights can also change colors for the seasons/holidays.
I almost forgot the best part! NO MONTHLY FEES. Once you buy a security camera from Eufy; you own it.

Thank you very much for the in depth review, very helpful. Could you please let me know if it has this feature?- I’m wondering if I could set the light to dusk to dawn mode with the light power low. Then, have the light change to brighter when it detects motion. Thanks much!

It looks like you can. You set up the schedule with the light setting you want, and also turn on motion activated lighting

@GrantButler 10 ай бұрын

Yes

@GeraldGaston 9 ай бұрын

No you cannot. I have two of these. One on each porch. You can set the alert volume. But even low is loud. I'm not at home and wanted to turn off the audible alert during Halloween visits but still do the crazy colors with the light... but no can do! Had to snooze or turn off motion detection. Edit: OK you can setup a custom lights only security alert...means taking off my geofencing for now but that is fine. So correction you can do it but it's a little work for last minute on Halloween while I'm away lol, so yeah create it now so you can switch to it when needed.

@johnadam5702 8 ай бұрын

Hi Grant. Great video and thank you for going into so much detail. I've only ever used Reolink, but I'm considering trying out some Eufy products. I agree that it's a downside not having the ability to add SD cards like you can with just about every Reolink product. However, Reolink don't make a lot of the innovative types of products that Eufy seem to, hence why I'm looking over the fence. One question I wanted to ask was about setting routines. Reolink added routines to their app a while back whereby you could tell certain devices to alarm or send push alerts by pressing one button (devices could be grouped together to make it a literal one button press to activate the routine, then one button press to switch it off). Can you do this sort of thing within the Eufy app?

@GrantButler 8 ай бұрын

On the bright side, Eufy just made it so that you can use the HomeBase 3 as your expandable memory (its 1TB drive can be expanded up to 16tb too) for this device and a bunch more. As for the "Routines" I don't know of ways to set those up. I'm not sure what routines you would do with cameras though.

@johnadam5702 8 ай бұрын

I have a routine that when I press one button, selected cameras will push alerts to my phone and will audibly alarm if they detect movement. When I wake up, I press one button to put them back to a dormant state. It’s very similar to setting a house alarm on and off. Essentially a widget that helps you group devices and change settings with ease.

@GrantButler 8 ай бұрын

@johnadam5702 I thought they used to have schedules that could do that, but I can't find it today. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

@TheYellowd 4 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for the video! Few questions: Will the light turn on if motion is in blacked out zone? Is the camera and light linked together or will the light turn on and not the camera in some cases? Final question is the camera obvious or discreet? Thank you so much for your help!

@GrantButler 4 ай бұрын

No, the privacy zones will not turn on the light, and the lights can be on without it recording, and the camera is very discreet. Most don't notice it's there as long as you have the status LED off

@michaellitscher9456 7 ай бұрын

I can't speak for your phone, but I can take the wireless dongle for my Logitech keyboard/trackpad, plug it into a USB-A to USB-C adapter, plug that into the USB-C port on my Google Pixel phone, the keyboard and trackpad are then functional on my phone. If you don't need an external keyboard, you might just be able to plug in a wireless mouse dongle. Worth trying.

@CarlosEduardoDaCosta you can use just your phone. The advantage of the homebase3 is it will process the videos to identify specific people, and extra storage outside of the 8gb built into the S100
