What Is Eufy?
Eufy is a smart home brand owned by Anker Innovations. It sells smart fans, plugs, security cameras, speakers, vacuums, and more. The products are designed to help you minimize your work around the house and make it easier to take care of things when you’re away.
Everything in Eufy’s lineup is compatible with Apple Homekit, except for the robo vacuums. However, you can connect their RoboVac lineup to Homekit via Homebridge.

Troubleshooting
Homekit Secure Video Not Recording Eufy
Got a Eufy security camera that’s not recording any footage through Homekit? No worries, let’s ensure it’s all up to date first. To do that:
- Go to your camera’s settings and hit the “General” section.
- Go to “About” and look for “System Software.”
- If newer firmware is available, go ahead and update that bad boy!
And a friendly heads up, make sure the Home app on your Apple device is also the latest and greatest. To check, go to “Settings,” then “General,” then “About,” then “Apps,” and finally, hit “Update” under the Home. App section.
Eufy Camera Not Connecting To Homekit Or Has No Response
Ensure your Eufy security camera has a stable Internet connection and isn’t connected to another Wi-Fi network.
Your Home and Eufy devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
You can also try resetting your Eufy device and Homekit to see if that resolves the issue.
