eufy Security · HomeBase 2 (S280)
The brain
of the operation.
Local storage. No monthly fees. The hub that connects your eufy 2-series cameras and keeps everything private.
New · No Box · Hub / Base Station
ⓘ This is a base station, not a camera. The HomeBase 2 is the central hub for eufy's 2-series security ecosystem. It connects to your router via Ethernet and communicates wirelessly with compatible eufy cameras, doorbells, and sensors. Your cameras won't work without one.
What it does
Command centre.
Everything your eufy 2-series cameras need to function. Storage, connectivity, security, and smarts all running from one quiet little box.
Storage
16GB local. Encrypted. Private.
All your camera footage is stored locally on the HomeBase 2's built-in 16GB eMMC storage with AES-128 encryption. No cloud servers, no subscription fees, no one watching your footage but you. That's roughly 2-3 months of recordings for a single camera (based on ~30 events per day at 60 seconds each).
Connectivity
Wi-Fi repeater built in.
Connects to your router via Ethernet, then broadcasts a low-frequency wireless signal to your cameras. Acts as a Wi-Fi repeater, extending your network's reach while reducing battery drain on your cameras. Up to 90 metres line-of-sight range. Uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Siren
100dB alarm. Louder than a jackhammer.
Built-in 100-decibel siren triggered manually via the app, automatically by motion events, or integrated with the eufy alarm system. Configurable schedules and modes. Enough to ruin any intruder's evening plans.
Smart Home
HomeKit. Alexa. Google.
Full integration with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. View camera feeds on your Apple TV, trigger routines with Alexa, or ask Google to show you the front door. Note: HomeKit supports up to 4 cameras per HomeBase.
NAS / RTSP
Stream to your own server.
Supports RTSP streaming and NAS storage for power users. Send footage to your own network-attached storage or integrate with third-party video management software. Your data, your infrastructure, your rules.
Capacity
Up to 16 devices. One hub.
Connect up to 16 compatible eufy devices to a single HomeBase 2. Cameras, doorbells, sensors, and keypads all managed from one central location via the eufy Security app on your phone.
The vibe
It sits on a shelf, plugs into your router, and quietly runs your entire security system without asking for a cent.
The HomeBase 2 has been eufy's workhorse hub since launch. It handles storage, connectivity, smart home integration, and alarm functionality for eufy's 2-series cameras and doorbells. Nothing flashy, just reliable.
It's not the newest hub in eufy's lineup. The HomeBase 3 (S380) supports 4K cameras, expandable storage up to 16TB, and BionicMind facial recognition. But if you're running eufyCam 2, 2 Pro, 2C, or 2C Pro cameras, this is the hub they were designed for.
It also supports Apple HomeKit out of the box, which the newer 3-series cameras ironically still don't. If you're in an Apple household, that genuinely matters.
And for the NAS/Home Assistant crowd: RTSP streaming support means this integrates with your existing setup without having to sell your soul to a cloud subscription.
Compatibility
What works.
What doesn't.
The HomeBase 2 supports 28 commercially available eufy products. Here's the quick cheat sheet.
YES eufyCam 2
YES eufyCam 2 Pro
YES eufyCam 2C
YES eufyCam 2C Pro
YES eufyCam (original)
YES eufyCam E (original)
YES Video Doorbell 2K (Battery)
YES Video Doorbell S220
YES eufy Alarm Kit / Sensors / Keypads
NO eufyCam 3 (S330) — requires HomeBase 3
NO eufyCam 3C (S300) — requires HomeBase 3
NO eufyCam S3 Pro — requires HomeBase 3
NO eufyCam S4 — standalone, no HomeBase
NO SoloCam series — standalone cameras
NO Floodlight cameras — standalone/HB3
💡 Quick rule of thumb: If the camera name has "2" in it (eufyCam 2, 2C, 2 Pro, 2C Pro), it works with HomeBase 2. If it has "3", "S3", "S4", or "Solo" in the name, it doesn't.
⚠ The honest box
Stuff we want you to know before buying.
📦 Condition: New, No Box
This is a brand new, unused HomeBase 2 without retail packaging. It was sourced as part of a bulk import. The unit itself is factory-fresh, we just don't have the pretty box it originally came in.
🔌 Requires wired Ethernet connection
The HomeBase 2 must be physically connected to your router via Ethernet cable. It cannot operate purely over Wi-Fi. If your router is tucked away somewhere awkward, you'll need a long Ethernet cable or a powerline adapter.
📡 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only
The wireless signal between HomeBase and cameras uses 2.4GHz. This is normal for security devices (better range, better wall penetration), but your router needs to have 2.4GHz enabled. Most do by default.
💾 16GB is fixed storage
Unlike the HomeBase 3 which supports expandable storage up to 16TB, the HomeBase 2's 16GB eMMC storage is built-in and can't be expanded. You can offload to NAS via RTSP, but the onboard storage is what it is.
🚫 Not compatible with newer 4K cameras
If you own (or plan to buy) eufyCam 3, 3C, S3 Pro, or any SoloCam, this is not the hub for you. You need a HomeBase 3 (S380) for those. The HomeBase 2 is specifically for the 2-series ecosystem.
🔌 RCM-tick Australian adapter included
Since this is a US import, we include an Australian-compliant RCM-tick power adapter so you can plug it straight in. No dodgy travel adapters needed.
🔒 Not an official eufy distributor
CamGuard Australia is an independent importer, not an authorised eufy reseller. That means no manufacturer warranty, but you are fully covered by our CamGuard 1-Year Warranty and Australian Consumer Law.

Real talk
Not for you if...
We'd rather tell you now than have you find out after.
🚫 Skip this product if:
× You own or plan to buy eufyCam 3-series, S3 Pro, or S4 cameras. You need a HomeBase 3 (S380) instead.
× You want expandable storage. The 16GB is fixed. The HomeBase 3 supports up to 16TB via hard drive.
× You want facial recognition AI. That's a HomeBase 3 feature (BionicMind).
× You don't have an Ethernet port near your router or don't want to run a cable. This requires a wired connection.
× You want a camera. This is a hub. It doesn't record anything by itself.
× You need retail packaging for a gift. This ships without original box.
Perfect for
Built for these people.
If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place.
▶ You already own eufyCam 2, 2C, 2 Pro, or 2C Pro cameras and need a hub (or a replacement/spare hub)
▶ You're setting up a new eufy 2-series security system and need the base station
▶ You're an Apple HomeKit user who wants local camera storage without cloud subscriptions
▶ You run Home Assistant or a NAS and want RTSP streaming from your eufy cameras
▶ You want a second HomeBase 2 for a different property (holiday house, rental, parents' place)
▶ You're replacing a faulty HomeBase and don't want to pay full retail for the box experience
▶ You believe security camera footage should be stored locally, not on someone else's server
Setup
Up and running in 5 minutes.
Seriously. This is one of the easiest setups in the smart home world.
1
Plug it in, cable it up
Connect the included Australian power adapter and run an Ethernet cable from the HomeBase 2 to a LAN port on your router. Wait up to 60 seconds for the LED to turn solid blue.
2
Download the eufy Security app
Available on iOS and Android. Create an account (or sign in if you already have one) and tap the "+" icon to add a new device.
3
Add HomeBase 2
Select "HomeBase 2" from the device list and follow the on-screen instructions. The app will find the HomeBase automatically on your network.
4
Add your cameras
Once the HomeBase is set up, add your compatible eufy cameras through the app. Press the sync button on the HomeBase, then the sync button on each camera. Done.
💡 Pro tip: If you're replacing an existing HomeBase 2, you can migrate your camera settings through the eufy Security app. No need to re-mount or reconfigure your cameras from scratch.

What you get.
Everything you need to get running. Nothing you don't.
✓ eufy Security HomeBase 2 (T8010)
✓ Australian RCM-tick power adapter (DC 12V/1.5A)
✓ Ethernet cable
NOT INCLUDED
✗ Retail packaging (New - No Box)
✗ Cameras (sold separately)
✗ Quick start guide (setup instructions available in the eufy Security app)
Condition
New, No Box.
Let's be crystal clear about what that means.
This is a brand new, unused, factory-fresh eufy HomeBase 2. It has never been powered on, paired, or used in any way.
The only difference between this and a retail unit is the packaging. We source these as part of bulk imports from the US, which means they arrive without individual retail boxes. The product itself is identical to what you'd get from a retail store.
We include an Australian RCM-tick power adapter (since the US version ships with a US plug) and an Ethernet cable. You're ready to go straight out of the (bubble wrap) packaging.

Q&A
Questions we get asked.
And honest answers to all of them.
Q Do I need this if I have eufy cameras?
Depends on which cameras. If you have eufyCam 2, 2C, 2 Pro, or 2C Pro, yes, they literally require a HomeBase to function. If you have SoloCam, Indoor Cam, or eufyCam S4, those are standalone and don't use a HomeBase.
Q Will this work with eufyCam 3 or S3 Pro?
No. The eufyCam 3-series and S3 Pro require a HomeBase 3 (S380). The HomeBase 2 only works with the 2-series ecosystem. Different generation, different hub.
Q Can I expand the storage?
The onboard 16GB cannot be expanded. However, you can use RTSP streaming to send footage to a NAS or other external storage, which effectively gives you unlimited storage capacity. The onboard 16GB still acts as a buffer.
Q Does it work with Apple HomeKit?
Yes! Full HomeKit support. You can view your eufy camera feeds in the Apple Home app, on Apple TV, etc. Note: HomeKit supports up to 4 cameras per HomeBase 2. If you need more, you'd need a second HomeBase.
Q Can I use this without Ethernet?
No. The HomeBase 2 requires a wired Ethernet connection to your router. It cannot operate over Wi-Fi alone. If your router is in an awkward spot, you could use a powerline Ethernet adapter to bridge the gap.
Q What's the difference between HomeBase 2 and HomeBase 3?
HomeBase 3 supports newer 4K cameras (eufyCam 3, 3C, S3 Pro), has expandable storage up to 16TB, BionicMind facial recognition AI, and supports 62 devices. HomeBase 2 supports 2-series cameras, has fixed 16GB storage, supports 28 devices, but has HomeKit support that the newer system lacks. Different generations for different camera lineups.
Q How long does the storage last?
Roughly 2-3 months for one camera, or about 1 month for two cameras. This is based on ~30 motion events per day at 60 seconds each. When storage fills up, the system automatically overwrites the oldest recordings. You can save important clips to your phone via the app at any time.
Q Why is there no manufacturer warranty?
We're an independent importer, not an authorised eufy distributor. That means eufy won't honour their standard warranty on units purchased through us. But you're fully covered by our CamGuard 1-Year Warranty (which is often faster to deal with anyway since you're talking directly to us) and Australian Consumer Law.
Your cameras need
a home base.
Local storage. Zero fees. Australian support. The quiet hub that runs everything.
