PREAMBLE:
This post/thread of me has been herewith copied/moved from the kickstarter campaign page to this forum, to be able to better keep track of it and to also let other users (who havn’t been part of the campaign) known of it.
+++ YAMYAM’s eufycam TODO-LIST +++
(to not forget about it myself and as reminder for eufy) 
-
Adding ACTIVITY DETECTION ZONES for the cams, if possible.
-
Develop and release an own EUFY SOLAR PANEL (with powerful and very effective monocrystalline solar cells, at least 4-5 meter cable, weatherproof cover for usb connector, flexible wallmount, and so on) for heavy cam users like me, who got cams whose battery is drained empty every 2-3 weeks(!)
-
Adjustable TIMESTAMP date format (TIMESTAMP time format already done by eufy),
to be able to switch from current american format
YYYY MMM DD (i.e. 2019 June 02) to
DD.MM.YYYY (i.e. 02.06.2019) -
Adding a TWILIGHT INTENSITY SLIDER like we got at the “Motion sensitivity level slider”, to adjust personal taste of at which twilight/darkness the NightVision mode should start (currently starts much too early)
-
QUALITY MANAGEMENT: Fix the material/sensor problems (like broken lenses, water drops at the lense, and some other issues or design failures which have been reported in the past) to make the great eufycam even greater in future revisions. (… and also reduce the warranty cases for yourself)
-
Make recorded videos also swipeable in FULLSCREEN/LANDSCAPE mode in the app.
-
Option to show BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR IN PERCENTAGE, rather than 5 bars in the app. Regardless of whether we use the “BAR indicator” or “PERCENTAGE indicator” for the battery life, it would be helpful if the indicator would show the current “health/status” even WHILE charging! Currently only the green “charging symbol” is showing up while charging, but this symbol doesnt show the current state of charge. This would be useful, no matter if charging by wire or solar, to see how far the current charging process is. Expressed in a simple way: Just turn the current used symbol and the future percantage symbol GREEN while charging and let it show the current battery life (instead of like it is currently just showing a static charging symbol). And please add an option to be able to disable the “red charging light” at the cam itself. If charging by solar this will unnecessarily just cost energy and if the cam is loading or not is still viewable in the app.
-
MARK UNSEEN/UNOPENED recorded videos in the app (i.e. bold) so its much easier to check which videos already have been seen/checked in the app and which never been opened.
-
FIX COLOR OF STATUS/NOTIFICATION MESSAGES Example: No matter if a download failed or have been successfully downloaded, the poping up message has the same red (background) color! … negative messages like failing downloads should be RED, positive like successfull download messages should be GREEN. This would help to more easily verify and take notice of poping up messages and their content.
-
Finally release a EUFYCAM RANGE EXTENDER or open eufycam to optionaly use (much better reachable) local WLAN-WIFI network, to get a useable and acceptable range as for some customers and circumstances (as/like me) still having an unacceptable horrible range! (in my case: joking 12 meters max range with only 1 wall in between in the middle of a big city with maybe tons of disturbing other frequences or networks or influences. (we know that someone outside of a city at the countryside may have much better ranges, but several of us realy hardly need those range extender!)
-
(Added by other user/customer to my TODO-List):
The ability to have Alexa or google to set the Eufycam to home/away mode and to silence alarms. Not many people have Alexa/google with a video screen so this gives us more options and convenience. -
(Added by other user/customer to my TODO-List):
Option to CHANGE SOUND ALARM for homebase and eufycam to own favorite sound file or at least a selection of several sounds to choose from. (if not possible for crapy iOS - as you mentioned - then at least for the Android app!) -
(Added by other user/customer to my TODO-List):
ADJUSTABLE ALARM SOUND LENGTH (i.e. 5-120 seconds) of all alarm sounds (homebase and cams) -
(Added by other users/customers to my TODO-List):
COVERSHIELD TO PROTECT LENSE FROM RAINDROPS
Develop a cover that shields the rain from the lens during bad weather (If it’s raining heavily you probably will get raindrops on the lens and the image is blurred.) -
(Added by @ronsou to my TODO-List):
UNLIMITED RECORD LENGTH for manual recordings
There should be an optional “max-time setting for manual recordings”, which can be set from 1 min to unlimited. Currently is seems that after 5 min in max, the recording gets stoped. -
(Added by @NJturtlePower to my TODO-List):
Add some kind of SNOOZE/SLEEP Feature
He described it as: “My biggest complaint is the high number of unneeded or excessive event recordings in occasional high activity/traffic areas and wish there was a quick and simple “Snooze/Ignore” dropdown menu via App which would apply to the whole system OR selected cameras for a user defined time interval (30-min/60-min/90-min/6-Hours etc). After the “Snooze” expires the system would revert back to the previous detection mode / ready status.” -
(Added by @Nec0ex to my TODO-List):
Add some kind of SECTIONAL BLURRING Feature
He described it as: “It´s not possible to blurry out parts of the recorded are. As an example neighbours garde, or the public street. In some countries of the EU its not allowed to record this.”
(Certainly this freely defined blurred area shouldn’t trigger the recording)
My TO-DO-LIST is obviously not complete and most likely be continued … 
List of solved/finished points:
-
DONE: HOTFIX for HomeBase v1.0.7.2 and eufyCam v1.7.6 to fix the horrible lag/stutter issues in the first 2-5 seconds on like every recorded video while playback! (and beta test future updates hardly BEFORE publishing them)
-
DONE? (Needs to be tracked and investigated in the future): Check and Fix the out of sync issue of video/sound which appears from time to time.
-
DONE: Adjustable TIMESTAMP color, i.e. beeing able to change the color of the timestamp from white to any other color or even to change the outline-border of the timestamp (if want to keep it white) to be able to read it easily even on very bright backgrounds like clouds, sky, white background.
-
DONE: Adjustable TIMESTAMP time format, i.e. to switch from current (12h format) to (24h format)
-
DONE: Add the option and possibility to choose if the mic is enabled or disabled by default, if starting a live stream! (By default it is disabled actually and at least for me it is annoying to every time enable mic manually) So let the customer choose and set whatever and how they like it to be.
