App getting stuck
We’ve had the app for nearly a year with few issues. Lately it’s been lagging when opening the app, delaying when playing a video, it freezes if I stop a video mid-stream to pause and enlarge, and just today it totally froze up my phone requiring a hard restart. Looks like many others have had this issue since the newest version was released two weeks ago. Please fix the app!
As for longer-term issues, there is a setting, where you can determine if you want a shorter video clip versus a longer clip, however, that doesn’t always hold. If the camera senses that there is no more movement, it stops recording even if it’s on a longer clip setting. However, in most cases I can see clearly that there is additional movement after the clip has ended (such as a human walking their dog, dog stops to go to the bathroom and the clip ends mid-stream because the human & dog stopped moving… and the human & dog have to leave my property but the camera didn’t pick up their movement leaving because it was too busy saving the clip). I wish there was a way to specify how long each clip is, for example minimum of 20 seconds, even if there’s no further movement.Show lessJgc27
Eufy App and Device Performance
If you can get Eufy products and homebase to work without getting inundated with ads on your app screen then it’s not bad. The video timing you select is not accurate. I set it to 20 seconds and I get 10, 11, 18, and sometimes 20 second clips.
The bad part that I am currently stuck with - I can’t break out of an ad page associated with one of these electronic ads that pops into your app home screen and there is with no way to return to app. Nothing breaks it free - no return arrow - nothing. I am currently stuck. I may need to delete the app and possibly lose anything saved.
I would not recommend this system unless you can shut off all of these ads getting shoved in your face. Now I’ll have to shut off notifications to prevent these ads from popping up notifications trying to grab my attention by leading me to think maybe my home door cam is reaching out to me while it’s actually just another ad trying to reach into my pocket.
If you can’t shut this garbage off and prevent this sort of thing then don’t waste a dime on it unless you like getting nagged constantly for nothing. I don’t see how to so far and if it comes to it I will just trash the whole system and go back to life without it.
Goos luck. Do thorough homework/research before you spend your hard earned money on this money grubbing nuisance.Show lessWorld Citizen #?
Advertisement as a Security Notification today.
I purchased Eufy's security products to keep my home safe and receive timely alerts for any suspicious activity. However, I am extremely disappointed with their recent decision to misuse these security notifications to promote their Black Friday deals. This is a blatant disregard for the purpose of these alerts and a breach of trust between the company and its customers. Not only is this practice intrusive and annoying, but it also undermines the very purpose of having a security system in the first place. When I receive a notification from Eufy, I expect it to be related to the safety of my home, not an advertisement for a sale. This misuse of notifications could potentially desensitize users to actual security alerts, putting their safety at risk. Eufy needs to recognize the importance of maintaining trust with their customers and prioritize the primary function of their products: security. I strongly urge them to reconsider their marketing tactics and keep security notifications strictly for their intended purpose. Until they rectify this issue, I cannot recommend Eufy's security products to othersShow lessBenj B.
