Quick answers
Do eufy cameras need a HomeBase?
Some do. eufyCam models like the 2C, 2C Pro, E40, S330 and S3 Pro are add-on cameras that need a compatible HomeBase to operate, while SoloCams, most indoor cams and battery doorbells like the C30 and E340 record on their own — a HomeBase is an optional upgrade for them.
Does the eufyCam 2C or 2C Pro work with HomeBase 3?
Yes. Both pair with HomeBase 2 or HomeBase 3 (and the HomeBase Professional S1). They are add-on cameras, so they can't run without a hub.
Which hub do the eufyCam S330 (eufyCam 3) and S3 Pro need?
A HomeBase 3 (S380) — or the HomeBase Professional S1. They don't operate standalone and don't pair with HomeBase 2 or HomeBase Mini.
Does the SoloCam S340 need a HomeBase?
No — it records to 8 GB onboard storage (note: no microSD slot). Add a HomeBase 3 for expandable storage and BionicMind AI detection.
Do the SoloCam S220 or S230 work with HomeBase 2?
The S220 is listed as supported in eufy's July 2026 compatibility guide (keep camera and hub firmware current). The S230 (S40) is not — HomeBase 3 is its hub upgrade.
What chime does the Video Doorbell C30 use?
There's no chime in the box and it can't drive existing mechanical chimes. Pair eufy's MiniBase Chime (T8023) or Chime 2 (T8026), a HomeBase, or an Alexa Echo speaker.
Can the Video Doorbell E340 use my existing chime?
Yes, when hardwired to existing doorbell wiring (16–24 V AC, 10 VA) — mechanical chimes only, digital chimes aren't supported. It also runs fully on battery with 8 GB built-in storage.
Which eufy smart locks work with a HomeBase?
Only the video locks — Video Smart Lock S330 and E330, FamiLock S3 and S3 Max — and only with HomeBase 3 or the HomeBase Professional S1. eufy's other smart locks run over Wi-Fi with the eufy app and don't pair with any HomeBase.
Does the SoloCam E42 support Apple HomeKit?
Yes — when paired to a eufy HomeBase 3. It isn't a standalone HomeKit camera, and eufy's other SoloCams don't support HomeKit at all.
Do eufy alarm sensors work without a HomeBase?
No — every eufy entry sensor, motion sensor, keypad, fob and siren needs a HomeBase (2, 3, Mini or the S1; hub firmware minimums apply).
How many devices does the HomeBase Professional S1 support?
eufy publishes a 70+ device compatibility list for the S1. It runs up to 16 cameras or doorbells in total (up to 4 of them on its PoE ports) plus 34 sensors and accessories, with 32 GB built-in storage expandable to 16 TB.
Which cameras does the eufy 3W Solar Panel (T8705) support?
eufy lists the eufyCam S3 Pro, eufyCam 3 (S330), eufyCam 2, 2 Pro, 2C and 2C Pro, SoloCam S340 and SoloCam S230. The panel needs to sit within 2 m of the camera, and the 2C/2C Pro connect via a USB-C-to-Micro-USB adapter.
