Eufycam and eufy Homebase are out with mixed reviews and people mostly complaining about the setup process and low signal strength. Anker has set about to solve these problems with a range extender said to come out in the first quarter of 2019 and firmware updates.

I would like to start a dialogue about your suggestions and ideas for the range extender and firmware updates and features that you would like to see for example Alexa compatibility.

A few of my ideas were

  1. Homebase signal strength indicator on extender
  2. Removable antenna so I can use my own high Gain antennas
  3. Battery backup

@Garden_Dwarf thought it would be useful if it was weatherproof and I agree

We need a range extender for the cameras to the homebase

Thanks for this. Indeed, be able to propagate the signal outside is mandatory for me :wink:

I would add also an option to connect the base&camera to the home wifi (dedicated proofed protocol if necessary) to the wish list for the firmware upgrade.

Home Wi-Fi as an option instead, please! I already have my home blanketed with 3 unifi AP’s on 2.4GHz channels 1, 6 and 11 - so an additional network does nothing but conflict with that and create interference. A range extender won’t fix this.
