Eufy HomeBase is a central security hub to control compatible Eufy cameras, doorbells, and sensors. It connects to devices via the Eufy Security app and stores supported recordings locally. This means less cloud storage and monthly subscription charges. It enables clients to manage alerts, recordings, settings, and shared access from a single location.

🏠 Building a Eufy HomeBase Doorbell Setup?

HomeBase can add centralized local storage, enhanced AI features, and cross-device controls to compatible Eufy systems — but you still need to check whether your exact doorbell model requires or supports it. Once you've chosen your Eufy setup, make sure the doorbell itself is positioned correctly for visitors, packages, and motion detection.

What Are the Different Eufy HomeBase Models?

The different HomeBase models include HomeBase 2, a previous hub with 16GB of built-in storage for video clips from selected Eufy devices. The newer version with expandable storage, more powerful processing, and BionicMind AI features is the HomeBase 3 (also known as S380). According to Eufy's official product comparison, its security hubs are HomeBase 2 and HomeBase 3.

How Does Eufy HomeBase Local Storage Work?

HomeBase 3 has 16GB of on-board eMMC storage for video clips. It is possible to add a compatible hard drive to provide the user with up to 16 TB of storage. The number of devices, the motion activity, the video length, and its resolution determine the recording capacity. All footage is stored locally and encrypted; if local storage runs out of space, older footage is overwritten.

Which Eufy Doorbells Require HomeBase?

Here are the 4 Eufy Doorbells that require HomeBase:

  1. Battery Doorbell Models: Eufy battery doorbells have HomeBase to store recordings locally and manage the devices. HomeBase 3 is compatible with Eufy battery doorbells (with some model exceptions).
  2. Dual Camera Doorbells: Dual-camera doorbells use HomeBase for centralized recording storage and AI-powered features. This feature depends on the particular doorbell model.
  3. Wired Doorbells: Wired Eufy doorbells do not have HomeBase, but have built-in storage. Eufy HomeBase 3 won't work with Eufy wired doorbells, according to the company.
  4. Model-Specific Differences: The features of Eufy doorbells, such as storage options, recording methods, and AI support, differ across storage models. HomeBase's compatibility is updated regularly, and buyers are advised to consult the latest compatibility list before making a purchase.

What AI Features Does HomeBase 3 Support?

Here are the 4 AI Features HomeBase 3 Support:

  1. Facial Recognition: HomeBase 3 can recognize familiar faces on compatible devices. This helps to tell your family from strangers.
  2. Human Detection: The separation of people from general movement is made possible by human detection. This helps to make alerts more relevant.
  3. Vehicle & Pet Detection: HomeBase 3 recognizes vehicles and pets on the supported devices. These types of filters minimize unwanted motion alerts.
  4. Self-Learning Algorithms: BionicMind's recognition accuracy improves over time with the help of the self-learning technology. The feature is only available on certain devices.

🔐 HomeBase-Compatible Eufy Doorbells Still Need the Right Position

HomeBase handles storage, device coordination, and supported smart features inside the Eufy ecosystem, while the doorbell mount determines the physical camera position. If you're choosing a HomeBase-compatible doorbell, consider both parts of the setup — especially when your entrance has a side wall, narrow trim, or an awkward camera angle.

How Much Storage Does Eufy HomeBase Provide?

HomeBase 3 comes with 16GB of built-in storage via eMMC. According to Eufy, this holds up to a couple of months of recordings in its specified usage conditions. An additional HDD or SSD increases the capacity to 16TB, depending on the amount of footage recorded, for this year's worth of footage.

How Secure Is Eufy HomeBase?

HomeBase 3 stores data encrypted with AES-128 and RSA-1024. In local storage, recordings are stored on the local home network rather than on cloud servers. Access to the user's account and sharing are managed via the Eufy Security app.

Does Eufy HomeBase Require a Subscription?

No, local recording and playback are not obligatory with HomeBase. Footage is saved to the hub, and it won't incur any additional cloud storage fees. Cloud services are available for some devices and regions, depending on your option.

How Does HomeBase Improve Doorbell Performance?

HomeBase is a place to store alerts and even device settings. You can use AI features in HomeBase 3 to reduce notifications, depending on the feature. It is particularly helpful if multiple compatible Eufy cameras, doorbells, and sensors are integrated into a single system.

How Does HomeBase Compare to Cloud-Only Systems?

HomeBase focuses on local storage, while cloud-first systems require subscriptions to store more footage. This provides users with more direct control regarding the storage of supported footage. There are other integrations or remote features available, or perhaps AI tools with cloud-based systems. This depends on the type of device you have, your privacy requirements, and your storage requirements.

Is HomeBase Necessary for Every Eufy Setup?

No, HomeBase is not required for all Eufy setups. Some separate cameras and wired doorbells feature on-board storage. It is more of a benefit to users with compatible battery-powered doorbells, cameras, sensors, or other devices that require centralized management.

Who Should Buy a Eufy HomeBase?

HomeBase is ideal for privacy-minded customers who like local encrypted video storage. It's also appropriate for families who wish to avoid monthly recording charges. HomeBase 3 is a pertinent option to consider for households with multiple Eufy devices using the same technology, and for individuals seeking additional capabilities.
