Tracking
It keeps up.
Scroll, and a parcel arrives. The dashed cone is a fixed camera on the garage. The gold one is the E42, turning to follow.
-
01
Spot
Movement at the footpath. The motion sensor reaches up to 10 m, on eufy’s install guide.
-
02
Sort
Built-in AI labels it a person. A helpful label, not a certainty.
-
03
Follow
The head pans to keep them in frame. The fixed camera has already lost them.
-
04
Save
The clip saves to your microSD card. No monthly fee.
Person
One view at a time: the lens turns to where the movement is and can’t see everywhere at once. Activity zones decide which parts of the yard trigger a clip and an alert; they don’t change what the camera sees.
After dark
Red. Blue. Loud.

You choose what fires, in the eufy app. It records, lights up and alerts; it doesn’t stop anyone on its own.
Solar
Panel in the sun.
The SolarPlus 2.0 panel is in the parcel, on its own mounting bracket, and plugs into the camera’s USB-C port. Mount it with the camera, or apart for the best sunlight, as eufy’s guide shows.
Battery
Topping up
2hDirect sun a day keeps it topped up, on eufy’s figure
90daysUp to, standalone, at 300 seconds of recording a day
5–6hFull USB-C charge from a 5 V, 2 A charger (not included)
Up to 90 days is eufy’s rating; battery life varies with placement, traffic, sunlight and settings. eufy’s best spots for the panel: a wall without eaves, a pole or fence in clear sun, or over eaves lower than 3 m. Not under a porch, under trees or under slanted eaves.
Works with
Any hub. Bar one.
It runs on its own with a microSD card. A HomeBase is optional, never required.
-
No hub
There’s no built-in storage, so it records to a microSD card up to 128 GB, sold separately.
-
HomeBase 3
Adds cross-camera tracking, facial recognition, daily security reports and up to 16 TB of storage with a hard drive, on eufy’s spec. Needs HomeBase 3 firmware 3.6.8.9 or later.
-
HomeBase 2
Pairs with the E42, on eufy’s E42 FAQ.
-
Professional S1
eufy’s HomeBase Professional S1 list names the T8173.
-
HomeBase MiniNot this one
The one eufy hub it doesn’t pair with, per eufy’s compatibility guide.
Alexa and Google Assistant
Both on eufy’s list for this camera. Apple Home: eufy’s note says HomeKit requires a HomeBase 3 (S380).
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
It joins 2.4 GHz only, so your router needs a 2.4 GHz band. A 5 GHz-only network won’t work.
Event clips, not 24/7
eufy’s answer for all-day recording is wired power plus a HomeBase 3 with a hard drive fitted.

Questions
Good to know.
What does New No Box mean?
New and never used, with all ten pieces from eufy’s single-camera pack. Only the printed retail carton is missing, so it ships in plain protective packaging instead.
Where should I mount it?
eufy’s guide suggests 2 to 3 m high, with a strong Wi-Fi signal, and angled across the area you’re watching rather than facing it head-on, so people walk across its view. Put the panel where it gets direct sun.
Can I stop alerts from the footpath?
Yes, with activity zones. They change which parts of the scene trigger clips and alerts, not what the camera can see.
When will my order leave Townsville?
We do our best to get orders out the same day; same day to 1 business day is our typical dispatch time from Townsville, Queensland. During busy periods it can take a little longer, though that’s rare. Australia Post delivery time is on top.
$99+

We aim to dispatch the same day; same day to 1 business day is typical from Townsville, Queensland. During busy periods it can take a little longer, though that’s rare.

CamGuard Australia
Compatibility follows eufy’s most recent published guides. Where eufy’s documents disagree, we follow the most recent one, and where eufy hasn’t confirmed a pairing we mark it not compatible until it does.
The E42 records and alerts; it doesn’t prevent anything, and detection can miss or mislabel activity. Battery life up to 90 days is eufy’s rating and varies with placement, traffic, sunlight and settings.
Product images are official eufy images. Illustrations and diagrams are labelled and not to scale. We describe packaging and the published spec sheet only and do not open or test each unit individually.
Our own 12-month warranty applies, not a manufacturer warranty. Nothing here limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
CamGuard Australia is an independent importer and reseller, not an official or authorised supplier or representative of eufy, Anker Innovations or their affiliates. Trademarks belong to their owners.
