Came across this yesterday at JB HIFI, States that the normal price is meant to be $799 and it has a $50 off sale, however the four pack is normally meant to be $1199. Wondering if they have mixed up the pricing of the 2 and 4 camera pack. comes with 4 cameras and a homebase 3 (Cameras are not compatible with a homebase 2)

They also currently have the 2 camera pack at $499 with a homebase 3.

Considering the homebase is normally around $350 full price seems like a good deal.

The cameras themselves on sale are $199.

    What is the Homebase used for?

      Storage I believe, can install up to a 16TB SSD into it.

    • snickerz on 01/07/2025 - 09:18

      Eufy uses the home base to connect to the camera or any devices you have may have (e.g. door sensors, door bell etc).

      So the cameras wont directly sync to your Wifi network, they will connect only via the home base.

      In case of the doorbell, the footage is also stored on the hub, not sure whether these cameras have SD slots or not. The image processing is also done on the hub.

      Since most of the processing is done on the hub, and also due to some communication settings between the hub/cameras, it allows for longer battery life of the cameras (i.e. lesser re-charge frequency)

        "they will only connect via the home base"

        This is not completely true. Some of the cameras can connect to the home base via the home network.

        Lookup Multi-Bridge wifi settings.

        Source: I'm currently doing it.

        • snickerz on 01/07/2025 - 11:48

          Thanks for the correction. The cameras you are currently using directly without the hub are they battery powered?

          • Faymalaka on 01/07/2025 - 13:24

            @snickerz: Nah mine are wired in. Maybe that has something to do with it but I'm not across the range of the multi bridge feature offering.

        To be fair in the original post the specific model of Homebase was omitted. One would think Kanu got on early.

        • Snaides on 01/07/2025 - 09:48

          I didnt have it in the title but had written it twice in the description, I added it into the title after Kanu asked. Thanks Kanu666 for pointing it out it was missing from the title

              @Hinee: @Hinee the addition of homebase 3 into the description was done 56 minutes ago, his comment is 29 minutes ago. There is also another revision 28 minutes ago, where I added it to the title as well.

        Sorry, misread the description.
        I definitely saw that it is 3 for the set of 2 cameras. But did not notice re this set.
        Also tried to find the info on JB site and no luck

      • butter on 01/07/2025 - 18:26

        Any idea what home base version this is?

  • JakeyJooJoo on 01/07/2025 - 09:37

    It's an ok price, but a bit more than I'd want to pay. Seems like there are other sellers flogging them off for similar prices, EG Retravision. I'd wait for a better deal unless you really want some now.

    Best way to mount these cameras in a rental? Want them to get the solar power, but not have them sitting on top of the roof…

  • blitzn on 01/07/2025 - 09:45

    Does anyone have these to confirm the solar power is enough without pulling them off to charge them?

    • Snaides on 01/07/2025 - 09:49

      The website stats that 3 hours of direct sunlight is enough to never take them down to charge.

      • blitzn on 01/07/2025 - 09:55
        +4

        I know but companies always state things that arnt entirly true.
        Definitely some fine print.
        Maybe better to just pay the big bucks for hardwired 24/7 recording.

        • Snaides on 01/07/2025 - 09:58

          I would always prefer to go hardwired over wireless when possible, but these are a good option for rentals. Take them off and take them with you when you move.

      I have a Eufy 4K S330 with solar which doesnt get much direct sun. Only slightly in the afternoon.

      It has been running for 81 days and is at 93% battery.
      1.9k detected events, 1.3k recorded.

      The same camera that gets 0 sun is at 66% after 81 days. Similar events recorded.

  • Inthemix on 01/07/2025 - 09:47

    Only 2k though :(

    They need to be 4k

  • discountguy on 01/07/2025 - 09:49

    any recommendations for which HDD for the homebase?

    • catbarf on 01/07/2025 - 09:52

      Doesn't really matter too much. But I am going with Samsung evo

      • discountguy on 01/07/2025 - 09:53

        I'm new to the security cam setup. How much data is it storing?

        • Shon on 01/07/2025 - 10:28
          +1

          Depends how many cameras, events and quality. But they are quite small files. I just downloaded a few and they were between 600kB to 1.5MB for 20-30 seconds. I just have a 128GB card in my Homebase and it has months of storage.

    • Hinee on 01/07/2025 - 10:18
      +3

      Comes with 16gb internal - I've never even considered upgrading.

      • sh4hp on 01/07/2025 - 10:44

        16gb fills up within 2 days of continuous recording. Just got the floodlight from a previous deal, and it says 128gb recording at highest resolution lasts 7-8 days so go figure.

        • peacenik on 01/07/2025 - 17:36

          I figure: 128Gb/16Gb*2days = 16 days.

          • sh4hp on 01/07/2025 - 18:15

            @peacenik: At mid to low setting.

            And 16gb here needs to cover 4 cameras at lowest settings vs my example of 128gb for 1 camera at highest settings.

    • richmond12 on 01/07/2025 - 11:34

      Anyone know whats the difference?

  • The1Warden on 01/07/2025 - 10:42

    Since storage is locally saved on hard drive, I assume these can't be used with your phone to receive motion detection alerts or watch live footage?
    Anyone know if there are camera systems that have both these options?

    • Dumax on 01/07/2025 - 10:44

      Yes with the app you can receive notifications, view live footage and saved events.

    • sh4hp on 01/07/2025 - 10:45

      These can do both

      • The1Warden on 01/07/2025 - 10:48

        Damn wtf that's great. I have the eufy 2c wireless 1080p currently, and it misses a lot of motion events.
        This deal seems pretty good, thanks.

        • Hinee on 01/07/2025 - 10:59

          Huh - these features are all on the 2C as well.

          • The1Warden on 01/07/2025 - 12:15

            @Hinee: Yeah sorry I thought this model was wired.
            I was searching for a wired model that also works with phone for live footage and saved events, unsure if this is possible.

        • sobriety22 on 01/07/2025 - 11:02

          What model?
          You can tweak motion sensitivity and with certain models their AI so that they do and do not trigger on certain events and levels of motion.
          Edit: should read better, eufy 2c

          Hmmmm …. more Telstra thing I think. I got a wireless modem through them at a retail store but because I used my ABN when the modem cr@pped out I had to take it back to a business store. Of course, there's less of them and not on the same sites as retail.

    I recently bought a similar model, the S330. it's a solid product, no issues there.
    To save power, it relies entirely on IR to detect objects before activating the camera for analysis. But the IR range is pretty limited. just a few meters, around 4m max from my experience and the test, even though the manual says up to 8m. just for your reference.

    • discountguy on 01/07/2025 - 11:51

      interesting …. I guess it depends if you just want to see whats happening close to your house or whats happening in the street.

  • fireball99 on 01/07/2025 - 16:25

    What range distance can the homebase 3 manage with the cameras ? Any range extender if camera doesnt reach ? *wondering if it would reach a back shed * which can act as a faraday cage in itself

    • xenoray on 01/07/2025 - 17:31

      I'm not sure if the cameras connect directly to the HomeBase3 or to my router. If they're connected to the HomeBase3, the farthest one is about 16m away. If they go through the router first, then the distance is closer to 25m.

  • kippei on 01/07/2025 - 18:18

    Thanks OP, I ended up cancelling and getting the S3 Pro 4K colour Night vision pack with Homebase 3 as they didn't have stock at my local JB: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/eufy-s3-pro-security-came…

  • JayGill on 01/07/2025 - 23:26

    I’m wondering if this works with Apple HomeKit yet? Does anyone know? Specifically the Homebase 3
