Eufy Security Alarm System—Your One-Stop Solution for a Safe and Secure Home

I have some non-eufy cams, and these serve the purpose, fine with those, so far my first and only eufy Security product is Eufy Entry Sensor, plan to test / use it next week :wink:

That looks good. Is it a standalone product or does it connect to a base?

You know what… It’s an excellent question :+1:

Looks like it Requires eufy HomeBase to use. HomeBase not included in the package, needs to be bought separately. Meaning it will stay in the Box :frowning:

I think I seen at the Eufy community that they were working on a fix for this. This is a big issue for people who are new to the Eufy environment

Oh no :pensive:
Not sure if you can buy the homebase separately can you?
Might have to invest in a security kit too :+1:t2:

I will pick up the Door Sensors and Motion detectors but only when they have IFTTT integration. I would want it to turn lights on etc if nighttime and things like that so camera’s can capture better footage.

Got response on it at Eufy Security Community

  • Can Entry Sensor be used without HomeBase? No

  • Can standalone HomeBase be bought separately?Currently eufy doesn’t sell homebase2 separately but they sell separately in next generation of homebase.

Meaning the unit i have will sit tight in the Box i received!

That’s a shame @Shenoy
Will you keep it and buy a security pack or send it back?

@Shenoy now that you have an extra sensor, you can buy eufy security kit package that comes with a homebase :grinning: or one of the eufycam or the doorbell :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Aw man that sucks. They should’ve specified that.
I would’ve not entered the giveaway knowing this information

I agree on needing the option for professional monitoring on the alarm system. I am have setup one door sensor to test before buying enough for all doors and windows. I spoke with my wife last night and she would not want an alarm system that does not have the ability to be monitored 24x7x365 by a service. Since there are companies that provide the service with any monitoring system, this should be a fairly easy thing for Anker to negotiate and provide in a software update by connecting to the monitoring service provider through an API, with optional equipment for cellular and traditional landline connecting.

nice does this prevent pets setting it off mistakenly ?

home kit support would be ace too

A eufy spokesman on Amazon.com said that the Home Security Alarm System is compatible with the eufy E HomeBase.

Can somebody please confirm this?

Yes @eufy_cams2 ,

this is correct. :blush:

Why do you advertise that the “entire system links with eufyCam 2/2C,” when you have confirmed that it also will work with the eufyCam E HomeBase?

Why make certain people think they have to buy another HomeBase to use this system? Some, like me, would prefer to only have to buy a keypad and sensors.

The siren is in the HomeBase.

Yes, you can buy the other parts separately if you already have a HomeBase.

well done, the home alarm kit has many accessories

After months of researching Home Security Systems, including the Simplisafe, SafeStreets (ADT), Nest, etc., I decided to get the Eufy Security Alarm System.

First off, I am extremely pleased with it. I already had a eufyCam E system with the HomeBase E. So, all I had to buy were the keypad, motion sensors and door sensors.

The system replaced two older systems in my house, and it was very easy to install. It’s also extremely customizable, and I have set mine up into four available modes: Home (for bedtime), Away (for when I’m gone), Front cameras only (for when I’m in the house during the day), and Off (for when I’m mowing the lawn and don’t want to trigger cameras).

I’m hoping that some day eufy adds a Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detector, and a water leak detector (for my basement).

I highly recommend the Eufy Security Alarm System; it is the best out there … especially if you already have part of the eufy system.
