in this video find out how to install
your EufyCam E wire-free wireless home
security camera system. no need to run
Network or power cables through your
house. though it's very easy watch on for
some tips and hints so that your install
will go smoothly. note that some of these
will also apply to other wireless
cameras too. I won't be going over
installing the UV security app or
syncing up with the base station since
you theory does a good job on this with
their in-app instructions and videos.
welcome to FRAKKING CREATIONS the
channel where we show you the good stuff.
want more videos on tech and do it
yourself. hit that like button, subscribe
and enable the notifications for the
latest and greatest. in the to camera kit
you will get 2 EufyCam E cameras, one
home base station, two outdoor mounts, two
indoor mounts, one power adapter for the
home base, one USB cable for charging the
cameras, one Ethernet cable for
connecting the home base to your home
network, two packs of screws and screw
anchors. step 1.
plug in the home base and start charging
your cameras. at this time also connect
your home base to your home network. you
can use the supplied Ethernet cable
or connect wirelessly using Wi-Fi. step 2.
install the app and create your eufy
account and sign in. the first account
created and synced to the system is the
main admin for the account. make sure you
know who should be the main
administrator for the cameras. at this
time you can also ask family members to
install the app and create an account
for Eufy. you can then invite them to
have access to your home base. they can
be admin too or guests. note that you're only
allow to invite up to three members per
home base. step 3. add your home base in
the app and sync your cameras to the
home base. while your cameras are
charging go ahead and use the app and
view the cameras you can start playing
around with all the features even when
the cameras are charging and not mounted
yet. that's what is great about these
Wire free wireless security cameras. step
4.
once your cameras are charged you are
ready to physically install the cameras.
survey your house. determine the best
place to mount that gives you the view
or vantage point you want, with the
coverage you want. note that you need to
check the Wi-Fi or wireless signal
strength to ensure it is strong enough.
check signal strength in the mounting
Guide section of the app.
eufy recommends great signal strength.
if it's not strong enough you may need
to find a new position for the cameras
or to find a better location for the
base station. sometimes it's just a
matter of moving it a few centimeters or
rotating the base. try not to have
obstacles in the way that will block or
affect the Wi-Fi wireless signal.
sometimes your arm can weaken the signal
when you are testing positioning
especially if you are wearing a watch,
bracelet, rings, etc. note if you plan on
powering your Wire free cameras like us,
then you will want to install the
cameras near a power outlet or an
outdoor lamp like this. look for our video
on externally powering the eufycam E
cameras so that you don't need to worry
about charging or battery performance in
cold winter conditions. step 5.
mark and drill out the holes for
mounting the cameras. drill size is found
in installation steps by eufy. use
the supplied plastic screw anchors where
appropriate. make sure to use appropriate
anchors for whatever material you are
drilling into if wood then the supply
plastic anchors will do fine. on the
other hand if mounting into drywall you
might want to use self drilling drywall
anchors like this. if you don't you might
end up with a loose mount and a camera
that will one day fall out. alternatively,
when installing in drywall you can use a
non drywall anchor like the one supplied
but you will need to drill into a wooden
stud behind the drywall. in this case
using a stud finder is a must before you
drill. step 6. install the mount and
attach the camera.
the outdoor mount is better suited for
our external power modification I
mentioned about earlier. the outdoor
mount is a ball mount base that is
attached to the wall first. like what you
see support is by hitting the subscribe
button
to get us to 2,000 subscribers sooner.
the camera side of the mount should be
screwed onto the camera before attaching
to the base. you will want to position
the plastic neck around the metal ball
in the direction that the camera will be
angling. this will allow for easier
aiming. in my case, this will be pointing
downwards. on the camera side of the
mount I found it hard to tighten to the
camera without it getting loose when
trying to aim the camera after attaching
it to the base. tip here is to aim the
camera in the general direction and then
hand tighten the retaining collar on the
ball mount as much as you can. then
perform the aiming of the camera using a
live view of the app. to tighten the
screw mount on the camera side of the
mount, rotate the camera clockwise a few
times during the aiming process.
note that the caller needs to be tight
enough for this to work well. after
everything is good use a set of pliers
to do final tightening. be careful not to
tighten too much such that the plastic
collar breaks. also use a tight firm grip
so that the pliers don't slip around the
collar thereby stripping it. and that's
it. your wire free home security camera
system is up and ready for use. let us
know if this video was helpful and how
your installation went for you. don't
forget to look out for our external
power install video for EufyCam E. as
usual, you can help our channel grow by

thanks and until next time.
