Stupid bug!

Early this morning while I was sound asleep, my eufy base station alarm started blaring at 3:45 a.m. If you’ve ever been awakened suddenly by a loud noise, you know it’s not very pleasant.

I immediately reached for my cell phone, which was on my nightstand, and saw that motion was detected in my family room. But I watched the video, and there was nobody there and the window had not been breached. Needless to say, while I was relieved my house had not been broken into, I was cursing my eufy camera for giving me a false alarm.

It wasn’t until this afternoon when I took a look at the video again, and I could clearly see the thread of a spider web in the video (see photo). So a damn spider probably set off the alarm. This is the second time in about two months this has happened, although I didn’t see a web in the first incident.

Meanwhile, later on in the morning my newspaper carrier delivered my newspaper, and his walk to my front door wasn’t recorded like it is every week. I’m wondering if the fact that my alarm went off canceled recording elsewhere or reset things?

Hmm just because it went off earlier it shouldn’t had cancelled any future recordings. Go through the settings andake sure everything looks good. If the problem continues I’d recommend to reset it

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Thanks.

If a reset doesn’t work then definitely contact support

I can attest to the spider web most likely caused your alarm to go off…I had that happen 3 different times in 3 different areas of the house one was a fly, the second was the cat somehow getting into cubby I had the camera and the third was a massive spider weaving a web over the camera. Each time scaring everyone awake for nothing, but at least we know it works and can wake us up. I have since adjusted my cameras and clean around them on a regular basis now to hopefully avoid this.

One thing to check is make sure you didnt disable the recordings and alarm when you silenced it I did that on one camera without even realizing it so for a week I never got any notifications
