Homekit Eufy cams not recording

Hi! From 2023 approximately my Eufy cameras seems like are not working correctly about notifications and recordings. Everything are set as before but actually only have a previews when Im not there. Im reading a lot of users having the same issue, people reinstalled, erased and added again but seems there is not a solution for now. So I don’t know. Maybe anyone can send us help? Thank you :)

Hi m.cobo, 

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. 


Please be sure to enable your HomeKit cameras following these Apple Support suggestions: 



You may also want to check the notification settings on your iPhone to be sure HomeKit alerts are allowed: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad


If you continue to notice that certain features of your cameras are not working as expected, the camera manufacture may be able to help you more. You can also contact Apple Support directly for more help. 


All the best!

I have noticed in the past week that I need to restart the Eufy Homebase 2 every morning. It seems to stop recording and notifying me of motion it records. The simple act of rebooting the homebase seems to resolve it. Today I have removed the cameras and re-added them. Hopefully that will address the issue. I will post the results tomorrow.

Well. Re-adding the home base and cameras to home did not help the situation. Still all cameras periodically do not record or notify events. The red light on the cameras do not come on when I am in front of the cameras.


Then at some point later it will begin to work again. I am getting no warnings or errors that the cameras go offline or come back online.


the Eufy app still notifies and records of events it detects. So cameras are working. Just seems like Apple hub or iCloud is dropping the ball here.


and yes this issue began with the iOS 16.4 home kit architecture change.
