Good luck!
Keep us informed!
Eufycam teardown
It lives
It also lights up & says it’s charging when plugged in but sounds like it’s oscillating at 10-12khz at a guess
Will leave it on charge when I can monitor it better, worse case I’ll put an external charging adapter on & keep it indoors
Hey
how did you connect the external Antenna? Do you have a few pic’s?
Was it like on the homebase “simple” plug and play or did you had to solder the Antenna adapter?
Thanks!
One of the best threads on this forum
Has anyone done a teardown of the wireless battery 2K doorbell. Would be interested if the batteries can be replaced to higher capacity ones
Would definitely love to see a Homebase E teardown to compare with the original Homebase. Maybe the Battery and/or AI chip could be added.
I know this is over a year later, but still curious.
Ansbody knows on how to open an Eufycam E without damaging the housing / shell? Thx
Are there videos at YT?
You could ask there :

btw : Why do you want to open it?
Because it stopped working and is dead like a paperweight… i’d try to check if a different battery could be the solution.
Yes this could be.
I am sure the case is not glued.
So you will need a simple plastic tool same when opening phones for “prying”.
(
DONT USE a simple screwdriver and work carefully without any force.
Should be the same surgery as opening other such cases.
Because the battery is “dead” you must give that a try.
GOOD LUCK!
Where would i open it? Any „entry“ points?
This you have to find out by yourself.
I dont know if you are a skilled DIY-tinkerer.
If you have any doubt ask someone who is.
Of course the case consist of parts and can be opened.
There you should take a look. were these parts are put tzo
I dont have such a camera, sorry I cant cove you more hints
And diagnosis’ from far away are more than difficult.
Eufy Cam Model E uses the same battery pack but has an electronic strip governing what and how it uses the power stored in 4 18650 battery’s, 2 in series, 2 in parallel thus the capacity listed. Difficult to remove and INFINATLY difficult to find a like replacement. Eufy said 15% discount on another unit after 2 years of service with NONREPLACEABLE OR NON REPAIRABLE BATTERY PACK. I am NOT PLEASED. $150 down the drain. I think I will buy a field camera and set it up to my phone, same thing but RPLACEABLE BATTERY’S and better customer service. Another hard lesson learned!
