More storage, easier to manage IMHO
I should note, that I am only a week into usage after my purchase and setup/install of the cameras and Homebase. If anything collapses and my cameras assist Skynet in the takeover on August 29, 2025, then I’ll update later.I ordered the S380 Homebase to accompany three Eufy S340 Solocams. Then I ordered a Samsung 870EVO 1TB SSD. Hooking up the Homebase was a simple as a) installing the app on my iPhone 15Pro Max. b) plugging the ether-net cord into my router and then into the Homebase c) plugging the Homebase into a power source and d) following the instructions in the app to gain access to the Homebase and the cameras (pushing the sync button, scanning the QR codes on the base and cameras).I cannot vouch for anyone else’s experience, as I have only mine, but the walk-through on the app was straightforward and worked easily. I had no issue getting the Homebase to recognize my router and then getting the Homebase to recognize the cameras. Even after I accidentally turned off the power to it, it was nothing more than ensuring that it was plugged back in. Less than two minutes later, all cameras were communicating with the Homebase again and I could run through the menus and playbacks without a problem.Installing the extra storage drive – on the face of it – was super easy. Just unplug the base, attach the drive and slide it back into the base. The Homebase recognized my SSD right away (Use the app to check the status and whether or not it ‘sees’ it), and all I had to do after that was format it. Boom, I have enough storage I won’t have to worry about it for an extended period.Again, I cannot speak to anyone else’s issues, but my set up and experience so far has been seamless. I do wonder if firmware updates have resolved some of the issues other folks experienced. So far so good and I have no complaints at the moment. I do believe that having your router centrally located in your home will help with connectivity. Also, I noted that by simply moving the Homebase out from BEHIND a TV and instead to the left of it and thus closer to two cameras, connectivity improved immediately for one camera. Knock on wood, ALL three cameras are solidly connected.This system was a relatively easy choice for me. I had two people I trust recommend it. It was on par with or a little less than other brands with similar capabilities and features (Nest, Ring, Arlo). There is no subscription fee and with the ability to dramatically upgrade storage, you likely will never need cloud storage if you’re just using it for home security (I would say a business might have different needs). Not having to pay a subscription fee will (albeit slowly) offset the cost of the system and SSD I purchased.

Does what it’s supposed
Works great, stores endless videos from the security system, and was easy to set up. This is needed for your cameras to function. It doesn’t actually capture images/videos; so there is no night vision, lag, or motion detection. It stores the media from your cameras.

Works like a charm!
We bought this homemade and two Eyfy solar powered cameras. The homebase allows your camera images to be stored and accessed through your phone. The images are crisp, there are no reoccurring fees, the set up was manageable and if you have a problem or question you can get a tutorial online or contact Eufy to help. We had a creep come to our door and we could have used these cameras then! Don’t wait. I would definitely buy again. Also, the whole rig is expandable. We will be getting additional cameras.

Compre este producto para tener un almacenamiento externo de los videos de seguridad de grabación continua pues tengo varias cámaras de la misma marca, sin embargo hay 2 problemas, el primero es que pese a que la página oficial de EUFY marca que las cámaras que tengo son totalmente compatibles con esta HomeBase 3, la realidad es que no he logrado hacer que los videos se guarden en el disco duro de la base… y el otro problema (parte de lo mismo) es que he contactado a Eufy directamente para averiguar la situación, me han pedido información, videos, capturas y demás para poder comprobar la configuración y el estado tanto de la base como de las cámaras… y tras varios dias de correos me han pedido de 2 a 3 días hábiles para que los ingenieros le den un vistazo a todo lo que les envié para tratar de resolver el asunto… pero a final de cuenas a penas esta pasando el tiempo requerido y al día de hoy no he podido hacer funcionar la base como se supone funcionaría, así que de momento la dejo con esta calificación porque no cumple lo que el producto anuncia, si se resuelve entonces cambiaré la calificación, de lo contrario regresaré el producto y dejaré la calificación actual.

Work good with my folding cameras.
