QuestionI ordered a 9ft usb to usb-c cable so I could charge the camera from within our house. Then I started wondering...would it be possible to just keep the charge cable hooked up all the time? The camera is out of the direct elements so rain ect will be ok.

QuestionCan you have more than one solo cam hooked to your phone . One for back yard one for front. I know it says solo but you never know so asking. Thanks
Asked 2 years ago by Karma.
- Answer Yes, you can view more than one Eufy camera installed on the same network via the mobile app. I have two configured in my network where I can view live feeds or archived events. You can’t view multiple live feeds at the same time. It lets you toggle between cameras one feed at a time. It’s a limitation on the app.

QuestionWhat is the battery life/expectancy like? Is this comparable to the 2K 6 month Eufy camera or 2K 12 month Eufy camera? From the size, looks like 6 month or less.
Asked 3 years ago by JLieu.
- Answer I've had my 2K spotlight camera mounted for about a month now. It gets triggered every night about 3 or 4 times since it is above my garage monitoring the driveway. Battery life looks more around 3 months as I only have 4 out of 5 bars on the battery meter in the app. I do have Color Night Vision on with Customize Recording at 60 seconds per clip and end clip early if motion stops. Hope this helps.

QuestionSo does the device need to be unmounted every time the battery requires recharging?
Asked 2 years ago by Battery.
- Answer The camera itself unscrews from the mount so you can recharge it without taking mounts off completely, they also make a little solar panel you can mount next to it that stays plugged in all the time so it recharges itself, also to note, 1 charge lasts a very long time..

QuestionHow many hours the battery runs with 2 times of trigger per days? How long for charging the battery? Can we someday turn on the light continuously for 8 hrs? Would battery out by that 8 hrs lit up? Thank you
Asked 4 years ago by Tyti.
- Answer Well I can't say for sure but I installed mine (100%) at about 4p.m. Yesterday and I'm sitting at 97% battery life at 8:15 a.m. the very next day. I have it set to max surveillance. I tested the light for about 5 minutes last night... it was bright... Imoved it to 100% then back to the factory setting of 80%. I also remote viewed it for a few minutes. Once again with systems like these it will depend on your settings and how many detections it has. But mine will probably last at least a month is what I'm guessing due to the detections from where it's at. What I'm having a problem with is that the current eufy solar panels are micro USB and this camera is USB C.... also there is no additional sealer for the port of you happen to use one. PROBABLY GOING TO NEED ONE.

QuestionI just installed a Eufy L20 which is 1080 but my iPad stops recording and says my device doesn't support 2K. Why??
Asked 4 years ago by Joe.
- Answer Because Eufy L20 supports 1080P, when you use them at the same time, it can support 1080P only, you need to setting 1080P in the eufy APP. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via [email protected] or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973.

QuestionEufy Team said: “Use charging cable to charge the camera. The battery cannot be replaced.” If I put this ‘wireless’ camera 15’ from my house, does the whole camera slide out of its mounting to recharge? Or do I need a +15’ USB-C cable to run to camera?
Asked 3 years ago by Ron.
- Answer It is not difficult to get the camera out of the mounting, it has a screw-type mount with a standard camera thread size hole on the back of the camera.
