What is the difference between “Share Home” and “Share Device”?

With ”Share Home”, devices are either added or removed from a specific Home profile and it is not necessary to share the same Home profile again. The new device information of the specific Home will be automatically synchronized to other shared users.

On the other hand, “Share Device” emphasizes single device sharing and is more flexible. It is used when you want to share only certain devices.

Note: If the app version of the admin account is running v4.0, but the app version of the shared account is older than v4.0, the device can only be shared using “Share Device” and not “Share Home”.

 

Why are the device tabs of some devices different?

Depending on the products, the device tabs highlight the main features of a specific product, so the device tabs will be different.

 

Why the shared account can’t view the Daily Security Report?

Only the admin account has access to the Daily Security Report. If your account is a shared account, the Daily Security Report can’t be viewed.

Two-Step Verification for eufySecurity App

The purpose of enabling two-factor authentication is to protect you from any unauthorized access to your eufySecurity account.

 

How to enable 2FA verification?

1. App Account Settings

You will find two-factor authentication in Account Settings, tap on it and you will be able to either enable or disable it.  In order to enable this option for the first time, you will have to enter the verification code sent to your email account.

Steps in the app: Select the menu icon at the upper left corner of the main screen > Select your email account > Account Settings > Select Two-factor authentication > Enable it.

For the app whose version is 4.5.5 or above, the steps to find two-factor authentication should be: Select the menu icon at the upper left corner of the main screen> Control Center> Two-factor authentication.

2. Update the App

If your app is an older version and you cannot find the above button, please update the eufySecurity app in Google Play or App Store first.

 

After you update the eufySecurity app, a pop-up notification window on the app’s main screen will prompt you to enable two-factor authentication.  You can choose to either “Turn On” or “Cancel” according to your preferences.  In order to enable this option for the first time, you will have to enter the verification code sent to your email account.

 

What is the logic of the verification code when 2FA is enabled?

1. Verification Code

• Email by default.  Registering your mobile phone number to receive a code via text message is optional.
• A six-digit code that expires after 5 minutes.
• If the verification code is sent multiple times, the old verification code can still be verified within the validity period of 5 minutes.

 

2. Trusted Devices

After enabling two-factor authentication, trusted devices can log in without entering the verification code.

• If you log in again with a device that has been added to the list of trusted devices and haven’t logged in for 30 days, you will need to enter the verification code.  The verification code is sent by email by default.
• If you log in with a device that has not been added to the list of trusted devices or after the token expires, you will need to enter the verification code again.  The verification code is sent by text message by default.
• Trusted devices can only be configured on mobile phones.

 

What if I turn off 2FA?

1. The trusted phone and phone number will be cleared.

 

2. Uninstalling the app on a mobile phone does not affect the two-factor authentication or the list of trusted devices.  However, deleting the account will disable the two-factor authentication setting.

of eufyCamsWhat is Motion Detection?

Motion Detection is designed to monitor the situation from your camera’s live view by detecting and recording moving objects and then pushing notification alerts to your phone.

Motion Detection works by combining motion sensors, software image motion comparisons, and the AI engine. Detection distance can be adjusted with sensitivity settings.

 

In the eufySecurity App, the Motion Detection part usually includes four categories. They are Activity Zone, Detection Sensitivity, Detection Type and Motion Test Mode.

Note: For different versions of App and product, the UI page may have some tiny differences.

gjpfphwh6ecjmovqzddkvwrinnjfgz59gf2pxrnnxwfa3oo1dlm ot mxg2c3q5tw6my16tuurxr17hyhkavvl7u3pfcomc0rfxmwtdzdkm miwx8bnehf0alyugri5aex3bew6cqopulul5mr8fwynl6yc2ocyoqjfkr830z7to2du8wcrn6 ev3qsr2a

 

1. Activity Zone

Activity Zones can be set up in the Motion Detection settings. You can specify an Activity Zone within your eufyCam’s view in which you want the motion to be detected. Anything captured outside this area will be ignored by the system’s AI. You can now set up three Activity Zones to minimize the chance of false alerts.

 

The live-view from everyone’s camera, of course, will be different, so it is important you take the time to properly assess which Motion Detection settings are required.

macwzqonfiej5ycsn35qclf72nlcwded0ikl 7w4fkgt7nek2bn odw4it1b5uihi1wfwktywgqee xd5wwcfytop n8n4rviqv5nmiclq0njgyrckcvotuqw qkkqnohqbnwh4q8xhahqj 4gup2 4 9txkwuu2 bj80yjgrvobeaj06zeewgwy46rd7g

 

2. Detection Sensitivity

There are seven sensitivity levels for eufyCam series. The corresponding PIR sensor sensitivity is Level 1 (1-20), Level 2 (21-50), Level 3 (51-70), Level 4 (71-80), Level 5 (81-88), Level 6 (89-92), Level 7 (93-100). The system’s default motion detection sensitivity is set at level 4. If you think that the detection distance is too short or it has occasionally missed some events, you can use the Motion test mode to increase the sensitivity and test the maximum detectable distance of the camera. Finally, adjust the camera’s motion detection sensitivity to the appropriate level to suit your home.

 

3. Detection Type

Motion Detection has two detection types:

• All Motions

Select this setting if you don’t want to miss any action that occurs in front of the camera. The camera will record and notify you of all motion events. All motion will be recorded and pushed both at day and night time.

• Human Only

When you select this setting the system’s AI will filter out non-human motion events. This is done to save the camera’s battery and to reduce the number of false alert notifications you receive. For safety purposes, Motion Detection will be switched to “All Motion” at night.
The system defaults to Human Only. During the day, the camera only records human motion events and the app only sends push alerts for humans. At night, all motion events are recorded and push alerts are sent by the app for all events. If you want to monitor more motion events during the day, such as cars or animals, try switching to All Motions mode.

 

4. Motion Test Mode

Before you confirm the sensitivity value for your house, you could test the Motion sensitivity to adjust the motion sensor well.
