eufy HomeBase Professional S1

The HomeBase S1 requires an initial setup with internet, but it can manage local device communication and recording independently during temporary network outages.

No, the device is designed for local storage, prioritizing your privacy by keeping footage stored on your own hardware.

It is compatible with most eufy Security devices, including PoE cameras, eufyCams, video doorbells, and security sensors.

You can install an internal drive into the designated expansion slot up to a maximum capacity of 16TB.

The system will typically overwrite the oldest footage with new recordings, depending on your configured storage settings.

Basic motion detection is standard, but the eufy AI Core is required for advanced features like facial recognition or specific object analytics.

Verify that your Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the router and the HomeBase, or re-verify your Wi-Fi credentials in the app.

Power down the device, ensure the drive is properly seated in the expansion slot, and check if the drive meets the compatibility requirements.

Ensure the device is placed in an area with adequate cellular signal strength and that the 4G SIM/subscription is active.
