eufy Security Smart Garage-Control Cam E110 with Sensor, Garage Door Opener Camera, Detects Open/Close Status, Real-Time Notifications, 2K, No Monthly Fee, AI Human Detection, Supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi

In terms of smart garage system, this is my 3rd switch and the one that only works flawlessly and just fit right. Maybe because I already have Eufy security ecosystem? I don't really know why a lot of folks that reviewed this product had a lot of negative experiences on it. Or maybe, I just waited long enough to actually try this out till all bugs and software updates made this product useful and awesome. So, like I said, I already have Eufy ecosystem in my home and I decided to try this out even though I've read and seen so many negative reviews on it. This is by far, the easiest, fastest and no hassle installation of smart garage door open/close for me. Before this, I went for the Aladdin Genie Connect which failed horribly due to so many disconnection issues and I returned it. But before the Gennie, I had a cheap non popular branded one but gave up on after couple of years. I was very skeptical of the Eufy Smart garage at first. But I figured, hey, since I've already been invested in the Eufy ecosystem, this might just work out fine. Sure enough, so far this has been working great. No disconnection issues like others experienced. No Google or Alexa bugs that apparently would just open the garage door even though the command was to close it. Right off the bat, a software update occurred before I could even begin installing. Maybe I just got lucky that those fixes happened before I got to install it. Whatever the case maybe for others that had negative experiences on this. I don't have that. 2k video is good enough for me and most importantly, it just works. I would definitely recommend this product. Just wished it had a 360 tilt option for the camera. But of course, it's not made for that. Great job Eufy. Crossing my fingers though that no issues will happen as I go along with this.

This garage cam is a game changer — super easy to install and incredibly convenient. As someone who often forgets to close the garage in the morning, the ability to check and control it remotely has saved me so many trips back home. The 2K video is clear, the alerts are fast, and there’s no monthly fee. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to smarten up their home without hassle.

Update: If ZERO stars were selectable, this garbage would get that rating. Removed, reset, and reinstalled, and apparently common home construction methods prevent this pile of time wasted from functioning in any meaningful fashion as either a garage door opener, or a security camera device. This device, as well as pretty much all eufy devices really under perform. They disconnect from Wi-Fi, and often take several minutes re establish a connection thru the app. Alerts are ridiculous as the video often cannot play, due to the cameras disconnecting. Is this really that hard to figure out?The only real convenience is you do not have to rely upon a cloud service, well that's an issue with goofy eufy as well. But is it really useful if you can't get close to real time connectivity, even inside your own home? With business class Wi-Fi? No, eufy is a cheap garbage implementation of good ideas. In this case, the garage open/close feature is pretty much only good for a single operation. Open the door thru the app, close your phone UI, unlock phone, oh look. Can't connect to the device, with barely 2 minutes passing. Overpriced garbage.

To be clear, it works as advertised, but it is somewhat misleading. Would recommend, but only if you have done your research. Positives; 1. Installation was easy, and should be compatible with almost any garage door opener. Just follow the directions, and video. It might take a few tries to sync everything via the app. 2. Doesn’t require the Eufy Home Base, and works independently of the Eufy gateway. 3. Camera works great and provides fair coverage of the garage door opening. 4. Allows you to control your garage from anywhere via the Eufy app. Downsides; 1. It doesn’t integrate with any 3rd party home automation apps. Only works with the Eufy app. It does not currently integrate with either Apple or Google Home apps, even though they put Apple and Google pictures on the box - this is noted clearly in documentation and on website. 2. Ironically, the camera motion alerts are aggressive because it works really well, so we just disabled camera alerts - it’s a garage and people will be there to use the cars. 3. The garage status (Open/Closed) is delayed, and it seems to take awhile for the system to detect a change occurred. Often we get both a open and closed notification together due to the delay. 4. Like others have said, it is hard to make the installation look professional due to all the wires involved.

A little more of a project for me than I was expecting. In short, I have some pretty old Challenger CH-1000 Garage door openers. They do work like all the others but perhaps more sensitive to the Eufy loop circuit required in the instructions. (Across the two terminals on the garage door opener.) In terms of compatibility testing, I shorted out the Garage Door Opener with a wire and it worked exactly how Eufy needs it to. However on install day things took a turn. In short, after testing with a multi-meter, and conferring with Eufy support, the Eufy DOES allow a trickle of current through the control loop to the garage door opener. I am guessing with other openers that is not enough current to signal an open/close event. But in my case, the challengers would trip immediately and stay tripped (so no other actions could be taken with or without the Eufy until it was disconnected.) My guess is that the internal relay in the Eufy does not completely open. The resistance goes way up, but my multimeter can still see 24V, and current when it should really not be able to. I ended up solving the problem with the attached circuit. Instead of tripping the CH-1000 directly, I have the Eufy tripping a low voltage (24V) Relay which then trips the CH-1000.

What I did was introduce a pair of 50Watt 300 Ohm resistors in parallel with the Coil on the relay above. Those steal a bit of current - just enough to prevent the Relay from tripping right away, and enough to allow the relay to reset when the Eufy opens its own circuit (and removes most, but not all of the power.) I had the 300 Ohm resistors and went with 2 as it seemed like that was the right balance in my case. But that was trial and error, not scientifically calculated. I happened to go with these guys - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XHHC3ZZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details And my power source for the "add on" relay loop is the existing 24V AC Transformer used by the rest of the garage door openers for the existing legacy Multi-Code wireless opener system. Can I speak to the longevity of my solution/hack? No Safety? No (but it is all low voltage/low amp/low watt so very minimal risk all in a junction box). In short, if your Eufy & Garage Door Opener has similar properties to mine, unless you are comfortable with electricity safety, a bit of soldering, multi-meters, perhaps go with another option. Talking to a family member who is an electrical engineer, he said that Eufy probably saved a few pennies and went with a solid state relay or similar transistor based solution rather than a mechanical relay which would not allow any current leakage. So if I had any feedback for Eufy, perhaps go down the mechanical relay road for a v2 smart opener. For me, this works, and I am always up for a project and a problem to solve. In the end, the app is wonderful (I am a big fan of other Eufy camera products - door bell, spot light, etc). And from my experience unlike other cheap "no subscription" options, Eufy devices tend to be much more stable with WiFi and pre/post upgrades. In short, they do not need to be power cycled every month to get them back online like my experience with Wyze devices. I did read that other users did not like the "horn" sound that the opener makes when opening or closing the door. The volume is adjustable in the app, and can even be disabled in the app if that is what you want. I was concerned about annoying my family with that. Turned out to be a non issue.

Device cam well packaged and is nicely constructed. The videos and install literature are good. Unit is versatile on how you install it An electrical plug in is required for the main unit. Garage door position sensor is battery powered. This is a great unit and the wide angle camera more than covers my t car garage opening mounted right under the garage door motor unit. The underside of my opener housing is where the lights are a Thus was white plastic, had to use the adhesive patch for the magnetic plate. When activating the opener with the Euphy it makes a loud warning sound which can be deactivated. When I use my existing wall button the alarm does not sound. Don’t know how many times I’ve driven away from the house and wondered if I closed the garage door?? Well now I can check without having to go back and look! Highly recommend.

Product purchased in 2023 and died few month after warrenty ended!!!!! Like dead. No power or anything. It was good while it was working.

Generally, the product works as it should. It was easy to install, easy to configure. It works great when you're in the house. However, I was hoping it would take the place of my garage door remotes, so I could just open and close my garage doors from the app. This is where Garage Control cam falls flat. When I pull into the driveway, I have to wait for my phone to connect to my network, then connect to the device (if it connects at all) to open the garage door. I don't know if I'll replace it, but if your primary use case is to open or close your garage door... I would recommend considering an alternative solution.

The installation got off on a rough start but eventually fell into place and finished well. This operates as described and is what I wanted. Problems occurred reading the QR codes during installation. I eventually took photos off the QR codes and printed out the information. This made it easier to read. This is one of three pieces of my eufy security and I still have problem installing one,. eufy support is working with me and time will reveal the problem. I am extremely pleased with the Eufy products so far.

Worked beautifully for the first 2.5 months then started going offline randomly overnight despite solid wifi connection. Other eufy products are fine. It's just the garage control cam that goes offline. Needed to remove and reinstall once but went offline again after a few days again. Unreliable to control and protect your garage.

According to Eufy this will not work in Canada. I had to return it and go with a different option to see if my garage door was closed.

Cannot use in Canada, Eufy App does not support in Canada Seller will not refund, since 3rd party seller
