[eufy cam] Motion Detection Zones aka "Activity Zones" - Issues

Dear eufyianics! Late but finally we got something like what is listed at the TO-DO +++ GENERAL eufycam TODO-LIST +++ currently at point #1: Adding ACTIVITY DETECTION ZONES for the cams, if possible. If you call it Motion Detection Zones or Activity Zones, means the same. Thanks to eufy for listening and bringing us this requested and very important feature! The rollout (app update) for this feature should have reached all customers these days. And i know it is still “beta”, but from begin…

That should be the solution you and many others will need. Eufy just needs to fix it finally!

can you just angle the camera differently?

I know you ask him, but remember that eufy cam got 140° and its not very easy to NOT record any neighbor or public places. No matter how you change the angle.

Depending on the situation though it maybe easier to do than not, and may have just not been thought of.

THe ability to “black out” parts of the feed is a good idea, but will probably take a while to be implemented even if added to the roadmap.

That will be the next level of the activity zones, but the current activity zones as is are not very efficient, so it will be long before they even think of this kind of solution.

I requested this a LONG time ago as it’s a legal matter in Europe

Eufycam homebase & nightvision

Hi is it possible to view the homebase event log? Every 2 days the homebase crashes, flashing white LED, app says homebase offline, no recordings until its reset The cams all have auto night vision turned off but at night IR LED’s still come on, the switch doesn’t seem to do anything The cams switch into night vision too early, is it possible to make it adjustable or have it switch at a lot lower light level? Where there’s IR reflection on a wall is it possible to disable one IR LED (wall si…

Nothing from Eufy

They seem to think that the whole world is America when it comes to how things work

Today the police were here because my neighbor complained because we are probably filming her.
I know how the activity zones work, so I would also like to have a video mask on it so that I can uncheck my neighbors.

Just forward the police and federal officers to the european HQ of anker

Eufy may need to put the disclaimer on their product saying buy at your own risk LOL
