eufy is one of the smart home security device brands best known for its fairly affordable prices and for the compatibility of most of its products, which work with almost all ecosystems.
The company has long had a good catalog, especially of connected security cameras, but now it adds two key devices for the connected homes of the future. A new hub for your devices, with storage included, and a new version of its wireless camerasthis time with an almost infinite battery, and most importantly, without having to pay monthly fees.
In this sense, the company has presented the new hub HomeBase 3, an evolution of the previous model but much more powerful in intelligence and functionalities, in addition to having an expansion bay for storage and greater capacities to connect brand security devices.
At the moment, yes, eufy makes no mention of its compatibility with Matter, but considering that this standard is not focused so much on security devices as cameras, it is not a serious problem. Either, unfortunately compatibility with HKSV from Homekit, unlike some of their other cameras. However, the company may update the system to make it compatible with the Apple ecosystem.
HomeBase 3 and eufyCam 3 are the great novelties of eufy for the connected home
The main advantage of HomeBase 3 is in its analysis capabilities to detect and identify (with 99% accuracy) different people through facial recognition, as well as animals and objects. This new hub it is capable of analyzing the video recorded by its cameras, automatically cataloging it and saving it on local encrypted storage (16GB with 256-bit encryption).
All this, as we say, without additional cost or recurring payments, a very positive point now that most cameras for the connected home are turning to subscription for use.
To accompany the HomeBase 3, the company has also introduced the new eufyCam 3. Battery-powered wireless security cameras. This time its autonomy is almost infinite.
It includes solar charging integrated into the camera itself and they are capable of working uninterruptedly with only two hours of light a day. LThe company points to up to a full year of autonomy thanks to this system.
However, the main novelties of the eufyCam are video recording in Ultra HD 4K resolution, color and infrared night vision, LED focus and audio
bidirectional Although it is not an all-weather camera focused on extreme situations, it is quite safe for outdoors, with IP67 certified resistance to water and dust.
As announced by the company, this combo, eufy Edge Security System, made up of the HomeBase 3 and two eufyCam 3 can be purchased in Spain from today for a price of €549.
