eufyCam 2C: add-on camera buying and setup guide

Is a 2C add-on right for your setup?

The eufyCam 2C is a small, fixed-view outdoor battery camera. It is a practical option when you want to add a view to a compatible HomeBase system without running power to the camera. Its 1080p video and 135° diagonal field of view suit a defined area where you can choose a useful mounting position.

An add-on camera is not a complete system. You need a compatible HomeBase already, or you need to buy one separately. Confirm the hub model before choosing a condition offer. The camera does not join your router as a standalone SoloCam.

Which HomeBase can you use?

eufy's current model-specific tables list eufyCam 2C, model T8113, with HomeBase 2, HomeBase 3, HomeBase Mini and HomeBase Professional S1. Pairing support and the features available in that pairing are separate questions. Firmware, recording options and smart-home integrations can differ between hubs.

Use our compatibility checker for your exact combination. If you are buying a hub too, compare the available HomeBase offers and read the HomeBase 3 guide. Check any integration you specifically need before replacing an existing hub.

2C and 2C Pro are different cameras

If higher recorded resolution is your priority, compare the model itself before choosing a cosmetic grade. View the outdoor-camera range for other models; changing condition does not turn a 2C into a 2C Pro.

Night vision and recording expectations

The 2C has infrared night vision for black-and-white footage in the dark. Its built-in spotlight can provide colour footage when enabled. That colour view depends on light reaching the subject, so check the scene at night as well as during the day. For a fuller explanation, read our night-vision field guide.

Recording is motion triggered, rather than a continuous 24/7 timeline. Sensitivity, clip settings, mounting angle and activity all affect the footage you get and how often the battery needs charging. Plan access to the camera for recharging. If you need uninterrupted recording, choose a model that explicitly supports it. Cameras record events; they do not prevent them.

A sensible first setup

1. Check the hub first. Confirm the exact HomeBase model and update its firmware and your eufy app.
2. Charge and pair before mounting. Follow the app's add-device prompts while the camera and hub are close together.
3. Test the intended position. Check the connection, a daytime walking route and the night view before drilling.
4. Set recording for the scene. Choose activity and recording settings, then review a real test clip in the app.

Check the exact offer for the mount, charging cable and other accessories. New No Box, open-box and manufacturer-renewed stock may have different packaging or cosmetic descriptions. Our condition guide helps you read those descriptions; the product offer confirms what is supplied.
