Perfect timing on this video. I’m looking at installing new lights with a camera at my house soon. Just curious if you have to pay a fee each month for service with this camera the same as you would have to with Ring?
@TightWadDIY2 жыл бұрын
I haven’t fully looked into those options yet. Currently I can view the recordings via the app in the same day then they go away. If you pay, I’m sure you could keep them longer.

Hello. From what I read regarding the specs of this system it operates on 120-240VAC. However I’ve seen some advertisements state it’s 120VAC. So please tell me what your system has stamped on it. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the video A few questions for you 1) where is the video clips stored ? Will it store the info to the new eufy base station? Can you manually toggle the lights on/off(override) and can you turn on the lights and still use the lights as motion sensor without recording if needed? Let’s say for example: you have guest over and you need the lights “on” but some people don’t like to be videotaped
@TightWadDIY Жыл бұрын
Great questions. The Home Base is not needed for this camera. I assume it uses cloud storage but I don’t pay any fees. Yea you can manually control the lights on/off, brightness, and color temp. You can use the lights without recording.

@@TightWadDIY There is onboard storage built in (8 gigs) basically 30 days of activation storage (45 activations per day) in December of this year the floodlight cam pro 2 will be compatible with the homebase 3 At this point you can not store 24/7 footage... but that may change when it becomes compatible with the homebase 3

I've had this camera for a year and like it. BUT, just recently it lost connection (unknown why). I tried many times to get back online with fail. I then removed the device from the app. Now when I attempt to re-add the device to the app, it cannot find my wi-fi. But it can find all my neighbors wi-fi. Very frustrating. I hope I don't have to take it down to set-up inside. Any suggestions?
