eufy Security

It can cause the phone to generate a lot of heat and drain the battery quickly.

I was pretty happy with the stability and performance of the doorbell camera and outdoor cameras I purchased, but I’ll be canceling my subscription and switching to Google anyway because I’m not going to put up with being advertised to on a service I subscribe to and hardware I payed for.

EDIT: I just updated and now it says my sd card is corrupted. I bought a new sd card, formatted it, and it only wrote 1m to it. I have 24 hour continuous recording. I used to be able to download videos - even when there was no activity detected by the camera. Activity appears in yellow on the timeline. No activity appears in blue on the timeline. Last week, I found I could not download videos in blue. I could see them, and watch the video, but I could not download them like I used to be able to do. I thought this was a bug, so I updated the app on my iPad and macOS. Suddenly, I couldn’t even play anything from my SD card; I could only see live video. I formatted my SD card and restarted, and it still didn’t work. Today, I tried formatting and it feels like the camera is dying. I played SD recordings, but the app shows a frame then crashes. Now, it crashes when I just open to view live. It keeps getting worse. If it’s this bad, I will never buy another Eufy/Anker product. Losing trust in the developers to maintain their product.

Need the ability to turn local encryption OFF. It only seems to add interminable delay to seeing notifications

the security features WERE great. However, they did some random update and now the app crashes every time. I posted this in their tiktok live and they muted me from commenting.

When this APP is not in use, it will run in the background. It also consumes power quickly, causing the phone to get hot.

Fire all your programmers and hire people with basic competence. features that used to work fine, like video feed, now fail seven out of 10 times or more. That’s well below an F minus grade. Stop adding “features“ that are really bugs and keep the core functionality working because that’s all that’s important.

This used to be good. Been using Eufy since 2021. Then we moved houses and so we had to re-install everything and now, when my husband tries to add me as a resident, I just keep getting the email notification but when I open the app, it’s just not there. I’m not getting any invite via the app. Terrible experience. It shouldn’t be this hard. Then I tried logging in on my phone using my husband’s credentials as a workaround. Guess what? It created another account for some stupid reason. Yes, I used the exact same email address he is using. Again, terrible. We already have 2 Eufy devices and since we’ll need more for our new place, we’ll toss these and get Ring subscription instead.

I'm sure how this app is bundled but 663+ MB size is larger than most large video games and simulations. For the functions it provides it should be 1/10 of that, current size is indicative of bundling problems. Frequent updates also means a lot of data is used to maintain its functions.

This app is terrible or the eufy mini cameras are terrible. I have tried to connect 3 of the mini indoor cameras to my WiFi, but each time an error occurs. The camera says, “Cannot connect to the Internet, please try again.” I have spent hours resetting and trying to connect the camera to the Internet. It is a waste of time because the connection never works.
