Do I need a subscription to record video?

eufy rates the cameras for months per charge with light motion, but cold weather and frequent recordings shorten that. Solar panels help if they get direct sun.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Home?

Yes. You can view feeds and use voice commands through Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Is it hard to install?

No wiring is needed. You mount the cameras, pair them to the HomeBase over Wi-Fi, and charge or connect solar panels.

Our take on the eufy eufyCam E40 5-Cam & Homebase S380 Security Camera System

The eufyCam E40 is a five-camera outdoor security kit built around the HomeBase S380 hub. Each camera records 2K (2560 x 1440) video, runs on battery or a solar panel, and connects over Wi-Fi, with local footage stored on a microSD card in the HomeBase rather than a subscription cloud. It works with Alexa and Google Home. It suits homeowners covering a large property who want local storage and no monthly fee, and it competes with subscription-based systems like Ring and Arlo on that point, though those rivals offer more polished apps and richer smart detection.
