Q: QuestionApproximately how many hours of video can be stored on the Homebase 3? Is data stored until the drive is maxed out, then overwritten?

Asked 11 months ago by Moxnix.

• A:Answer The HomeBase 3 comes with a built-in 16GB storage, which can store approximately 2 months of video recordings for a system with one camera (assuming 30 motion detections per day with 60 seconds of recording each time). If more storage is required, you can expand it by adding an external hard drive with a SATA interface, which can provide up to 16TB of space, capable of storing years of video recordings for a system with one camera. When the storage is full, new recordings will overwrite the oldest ones to ensure continuous recording. You can prevent important videos from being overwritten by using the "favorite" function in the app or by regularly backing up old recordings.

Q: QuestionIf the cameras are solar powered, why does it say they may need to be charged (battery) from time to time? How often is time to time?

Asked 5 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I’ve installed these in numerous places. It’s best to charge them before install to make sure it’s fully charged. And if they don’t get much sun and see a lot of activity/you do a lot of live viewing it can use more power than the solar panels can recharge. It’s been very rare in my PERSONAL experience, but they last several months even in those scenarios.

Q: QuestionWhat happens when the outdoor temperature drops below -4 ?

Asked 7 months ago by Happy.

• A:Answer When the outdoor temperature drops below -4°F (-20°C), the eufy SoloCam S220 may experience a reduction in performance. This is because extreme cold affects the lithium-ion battery inside the camera. Here is what happens: Temporary Malfunction: The camera may temporarily stop functioning in temperatures below its operational range. Lower Battery Efficiency: While the camera might still operate, the cold reduces the battery's chemical activity, leading to lower battery levels and shorter battery life. Automatic Recovery: Once the temperature rises back within the operational range (-4°F to 122°F / -20°C to 50°C), the camera will resume normal operation, and the battery performance will recover. Additionally, the Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor may function less sensitively under cold conditions. It is recommended to increase the motion detection sensitivity in colder weather for better performance.
