eufy Security Camera Installation in London

• eufyCam kits on a HomeBase: the C35 and C37 on a HomeBase Mini, and the E40 kit on a HomeBase 2
• SoloCams such as the S220, E30 and E42, which need no HomeBase, though several can join one
• Light cameras: the S4 4K Solar Wall Light Camera, the Solar Wall Light Cam S120 and the TrackLight Cam S1, on pre-order
• The outdoor Wired Cam C31, and the Window Camera E10, on pre-order, which films out through the glass
• Indoor cameras: S350, E30, E220, C210 and C220

• eufyCam S3 Pro: eufy's guide says 2–3 m up, with a 12 m field of view
• TrackLight Cam S1: 2.5–3.5 m up, with at least 8 cm of clear wall either side
• Planning: the permitted development rules for security cameras on a house (Class F) expect every part of the camera to be at least 2.5 m above the ground, with no more than four on one side of the building, and they do not cover a listed building
• Charging: a battery camera at 3 m means a ladder each time it runs low, so where the sun is weak the pro picks a spot you can reach safely

• eufyCam S3 Pro: the built-in panel collects 450–900 mAh a day against 100–200 mAh of use, provided the whole panel gets at least 1.5 hours of sun; under eaves, eufy says to use the external panel from the kit
• eufyCam S4: the 5.5 W detachable panel with SolarPlus 2.0 needs about an hour of direct sun a day
• eufyCam C37: eufy warns that less than 2 hours of sun in cold weather may not keep it powered
• TrackLight Cam S1: the panel's 2 m cable must not be extended; beyond that, eufy says to use a 5 V, 2 A USB-C supply

• 2.4 GHz: the S3 Pro, C35, SoloCam S220 and SoloCam E42 use 2.4 GHz only, and eufy tells C37 owners to pair on 2.4 GHz, not 5 GHz
• Distance while syncing: eufy says to keep an S3 Pro within 1 m of the HomeBase S380, and a C37 within 3 m of its HomeBase, while pairing
• Firmware first: a HomeBase S380 needs V3.7.2.8 or later before a eufyCam S4 will record 24/7 or take snapshots, and V3.7.8.4 before a C37 will connect
• Signal at the mount: the camera's signal is read in the eufy app at the final spot, not at the back door, before any hole is drilled

• Window Camera E10: eufy says frosted or patterned glass will not do, and thick double or triple glazing can show glare at the edges
• Indoor cameras: the S350 uses Wi-Fi 6 on 2.4 or 5 GHz, while the E30 is 2.4 GHz only; each is set so it does not look into a neighbour's window
• Wired Cam C31: outdoors, its power cable needs a route to a socket, usually indoors through a sealed hole, and a new outdoor socket is electrical work, priced as such
• Rooms: the pro will not fit a camera in a bathroom, and suggests telling anyone who works in your home where the indoor cameras are

• Each camera is aimed at your own path, garden, bins or car and checked on the live view
• Activity zones leave out the pavement and road, which eufy also suggests to save battery
• Privacy zones cover a neighbour's window or garden: eufy allows up to two per camera, and warns that activity inside one may still be partly recorded

A vetted pro prices your job from the eufy model, photos of where each device goes and what power is there now, and the JACK app shows you that fixed price before you book.

The power and the walls move the price more than the device does. A battery doorbell on a brick reveal, or a SoloCam on a fence post, is a smaller job. An S4 Wired doorbell on a new transformer, a HomeBase moved to the middle of the house with a hard drive fitted, a Floodlight Camera E340 in place of an outside light, or four PoE cameras cabled through solid brick and a loft all take longer, and the price reflects that.

The eufy kit is yours to buy, since JACK sells no devices. A stronger transformer, a Chime 2, a wedge, a floodlight's weatherproof box or extra Cat cable is agreed with you and added at cost before you book, and several devices go on one booking for one price. Where parking has to be paid for, that is added at cost and agreed before you book too.

Prefer to pay for time? As a guide, smart home work is typically £45–£95 per hour, and electrical work such as a floodlight camera £55–£110 per hour. For a multi-camera system or a PoE NVR, a full-day booking is a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
