HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

How the System Works
The video doorbell system includes 2 parts. One is the video doorbell at your door. The other is the HomeBase in your house. The video doorbell detects motion at your porch and allows you to answer the door anytime and anywhere.The HomeBase stores video clips on its built-in storage. When someone rings the doorbell, people in the house will be notified.

STEP 1 CONNECTING THE HOMEBASE
Connect the HomeBase 2 to the Internet

  1. Power on the HomeBase 2, then use the ethernet cable provided to connect the HomeBase 2 to your home router.
  2. The LED indicator turns blue (this may take up to 1min) when HomeBase 2 is ready for setup.

STEP 2 SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Download the App and Set up the System

  1. Download the Eufy Security app from the App Store (iOS devices) or Google Play (Android devices).
  2. Sign up for a Eufy Security account, then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup.

STEP 3 DETERMINING THE POWER OPTION

Option 1 – Battery Powered

  1. If you don’t have existing doorbell wiring at the front door, use the built-in battery. You are free to determine the doorbell position and the mounting is easy and quick.
  2. When the doorbell battery level is low, you need to detach and charge it.
  3. If you choose this option, please jump to STEP 4 FINDING A MOUNTING SPOT.

Note : The battery life varies depending on usage. In most common cases, a doorbell may have up to 10 events per day and each recording lasts 20 seconds on average. Under this scenario, the doorbell battery life can last up to 6 months.

Option 2 – Doorbell Wire Powered

  1. If you have existing and working doorbell wiring at the front door, the doorbell will be powered by the wires constantly. So you don’t need to detach and charge it after installation.
  2. Since the doorbell is connected to the wires, the mounting position is limited.
  3. If you choose this option, please jump to Appendix 3 Powering the Doorbell with Doorbell Wires.

STEP 4 FINDING A MOUNTING SPOT

Find a Mounting Spot
Take the video doorbell to your front door and check the live view on the App at the same time. Find a location where you can get the desired field of view. Consider the below factors:

  1. Check if you can reuse the existing holes and anchors on the wall or door frame.
  2. If you want to place the doorbell close to a side wall, make sure the wall doesn’t show up in the field of view. Otherwise IR light will be reflected and night vision will become blurry.
  3. If you are drilling the mounting holes for the first time, the recommended mounting height is 48″ / 1.2 m from the ground.
  4. Use the 15° mounting wedge as a supplementary mounting bracket if you wish to see more on a specific side.eufy-T8210-2K-Video-Doorbell-fig- \(13\)
