Camera was online before but now shows offline in the app.
We could not fully consult the manufacturer's support page for this model; the steps are general and may differ in details.
Most likely causes
Router or internet outage
- Check if other devices have internet access.
- Restart your router by switching it off and on again.
- Wait 2–3 minutes and open the Eufy app to see if the camera returns online.
Camera powered off or battery drained
- Check the camera has power or battery charge.
- Charge the camera or connect it to power and look for the status light.
Wi‑Fi settings changed (SSID or password) or band changed
- Confirm whether the Wi‑Fi name or password was recently changed.
- If router bands were altered, restore the previous 2.4 GHz settings or reconnect the camera using the app.
Temporary Eufy server issue
- Check Eufy's service status on their site or social media.
- Wait 15–30 minutes and try again; log out and back into the app if needed.
Factory reset
Warning: a factory reset deletes all settings and pairings; you will need to add the camera again in the Eufy Security app.
- Power on the camera and ensure it has sufficient battery or is connected to power.
- Find the reset button on the camera; it is usually a small hole or button on the back or bottom.
- Insert a paperclip or thin tool into the hole and hold the button for 10–15 seconds.
- Release when you hear a sound or see lights blink to indicate the reset started.
- Open the Eufy app, remove the old device entry if needed, and add the camera again via 'Add Device'.
