To be honest, I wasnt expecting much considering the cost, but my 30 year old alarm system failed. I liked my old hard wired system, but the replacement cost was silly money, considering I'm now at home most of the time. So I looked for a cheap wireless replacement that wouldnt break the bank and was easy to install. I chose the Eufy system mostly because I like the look of the Keypad. The keypad has a small motion detector which lights up the keypad when one approaches it so easy to find in the dark. It also has a panic alarm button should you need to summon help. At 72 and not the most nimble person, I managed to get the whole system up and running within a couple of hours, so I guess one could say its very easy to setup. The most difficult part was removing the hard plastic wrap from the batteries. I was very impressed with the build quality of all the components, which all worked without fuss. My niggles... The system is very reliant on using a smart phone. Its easy enough to use and set up but the four instruction books are slightly annoying at the information they leave out. When I first set up my system I was unable to set a leave/return home delay from the keypad without it going off. I did discover by accident that I can alter that using my smartphone but along with other things its not documented. I would also have liked a smoke detector module but sadly Eufy don't do one; But its no deal breaker. For a no frills alarm system that works straight from the box this Eufy system takes some beating, and I am very happy with my choice. Update May 2025 Since that initial purchase I have added quite a few entry sensor points and an external sounder. Its been a good reliable system. Sadly, the Homebase 2 speaker failed May 2025. Everything worked, but not the speaker on the Homebase unit. Called Eufy support, To be honest the base unit was out of warranty so wasn’t expecting much, but maybe there was a fix or reset. To my surprise, Eufy were quick to help and sent me a replacement Homebase unit so in my eyes they are the Best.. Thank you Eufy.

After being impressed with the Eufy 1080p doorbell, I purchased this alarm system when it was on offer as it never hurts to have extra protection for your home. To begin with, you do get what you pay for, this is by no means a 'professional' system, far from it, but to be able to add-on cameras and other sensors makes it very versatile and practical for someone who rents and may need to take this system with them when they vacate a property. Set-up was a breeze and faff free making it quick and easy to install. You get screws and sticky pads, but I went for the 3M command strips so not to wreck the wall as and when I need to take them down. In short, follow the instructions and everything will (should) 'just work'. There are a few niggles I have, the main being the actual alarm itself. The Homebase 2 acts as the alarm bell and isn't quite as loud as you want it to be but also if someone does break in and the alarm sounds, all they'll need to do is unplug it and Bob's your uncle, alarm and the entire system shut down. More annoyingly, if the burglar has any sense (not much hope there), they could either destroy the homebase or take it with them and all your recordings and events are gone (unless you pay for cloud storage... ... ... ...) However, that's a worst case scenario and that hopefully doesn't happen. I'm in two minds whether having the alarm actually sound is worth it, no one would hear it but with the instant notifications you get, you're able to act quickly should there be a problem at home... if there was an external bell box I would be more in favour of keeping the homebase quiet so attention isn't drawn to it should there be a break in. One final thought and one worth mentioning is the ability to have the homebase 'chirp' if an entry sensor is triggered making me rest easy knowing I'll know if someone else opens my front door. Another annoyance I had was integration however, this only applied to myself. When i got the Eufy doorbell and chime i thought it would be easy enough to add them onto the system. While you can and there is no issue, the doorbell will only communicate with the chime and not the Homebase. I was hoping to set up automation where if a PIR sensor was triggered, the doorbell will automatically start recording, but the doorbell needed to be directly paired with the Homebase rendering the chime redundant. To get around this I retured the 1080p doorbell and chime and got the 2K add on doorbell and that is now directly paired with the homebase allowing automation to happen with the doorbell. What is good is the ease to access and view the entire system away from home and even adjust the settings if need be plus adding other users if you need to. All in all, I'm impressed. For the price it was worth it in my books and am impressed with the Eufy ecosystem so far (I have an 11S robo vac (Bryan) who has been fault free for about 3 years now). I have no immediate need for any cameras but may look to invest in them should I ever need them at some point.

Really easy to install with sticky strips (screw-mounts included), easy to set up using the base & WiFi. Managed to sort the whole 5 sensor system in under 15 minutes (2 door sensors & 1 motion). Reliably triggers when doors open or sensor goes off, weekly logs, remote phone control over the system. Only downside is the app, which isn't great for customising; default is to alert every open/close/trigger... It's possible to customise this to some extent, but no integration with IFTTT, for instance. Better control with the subscription apparently, but if you don't mind ongoing costs, I'd look to Ring or Nest.

Great bit of kit, easy to operate and install and very easy to add new devices to. Would definitely recommend and I will be adding and upgrading as time goes on!

Easy to put up and work very well

If you're considering a home security system, look no further than Eufy Security. As a customer for several years, their service—from initial advice to long-term support—has been absolutely brilliant. Exceptional Service from the Start When I first considered a CCTV system, I reached out for pre-sales advice. The enthusiasm and detailed response I received gave me complete confidence that I would be supported long after the purchase. First-Class Support During Expansion More recently, after moving house, I needed to significantly expand my setup to include additional cameras, sensors, and a full alarm system. The support I received over multiple phone calls was first class. The staff took the time to genuinely listen to my specific needs and recommend the best options, always explaining why those recommendations made the most sense for me. Top-Notch After-Sales Resolution Just last week, when a door sensor unexpectedly failed, their support team proved their worth again. My initial call was answered quickly. The support person listened calmly, quickly understood the issue, and escalated it as a priority. The service was magnificent, leading to a resolution within just a few days. The Final Verdict From their excellent app, wide range of products (CCTV, sensors, motion detectors, alarm pad, sirens), to their consistently magnificent support, Eufy has proven to be a truly reliable partner in home security. I highly recommend Eufy Security Systems if you're looking for a comprehensive alarm and CCTV solution backed by top-notch sales and support!

I had this system installed and configured within about 30-45 mins of delivery, while "working from home". Just add/sync the devices through the app, stick them where you want them with the sticky pads provided, and away you go. I think the only issue was opening the door sensors to insert the batteries. I found it impossible to open them by hand the way they show you in the manual, but a flat head screwdriver in the notch and giving a little twist worked a treat. You can use the app to create your own custom settings for the whole system, and also for each device. The siren is built into the Homebase which obviously is inside the home, it is loud but too loud, and as much as I like the idea of external sirens I don't really recall too many neighbours taking notice them when I had one, but anyone inside your home will clearly know they've triggered it, plus you get the alerts to your phone so you will too. I'm going to look for a camera to integrate with it so that if it does trigger while I'm away, i can tell if its a false alarm. Definitely 5 stars!

Installed this with 4 PIR sensors, base station and keypad in less than an hour. The app pretty well walks you through installation and each device connected without issue. Not really much info on using the app and setting zones etc but through trial and error and a few false alarms I eventually got there. You can set up your own zones and have some devices on or off according to how you want. Not set the keypad up to actually control the alarm yet but it seems fairly simple. Knocked one star of because you only get one PIR and most people need more so you can factor in another £25 each for those. Add to that that the door switches can't be fitted to most uPVC doors because of the different heights between door and frame. Not the only alarm system to have this problem. Yale are worse! Update. Set the keypad up and now only need the app to change settings or add other devices. Had an issue where I couldn't get the base to connect using just WiFi. Found that the 2.4Ghz connection had developed issues. Had this on all my gadgets only getting download speeds of less than 1 Mbps! Changed the channel on my router from auto to 6 and now its fine. Update. No longer receiving notifications. A fair number of users on Google seem to have the same issue. Eufy suggest the same processes as most suppliers when you have a problem such as re-boot, check your phone to make sure notifications are allowed etc. The device was sending notifications until 36 hours ago. Reduced star rating until Eufy resolve the issue. Edit 2 Now receiving notifications again. No idea why they stopped and have now restarted. One of the bedroom sensors have triggered the alarm twice now during the night. Problem is its an empty bedroom with a closed door! Not seen a ghost in there so it's been returned as faulty! Not overly concerned as I've managed to get a window sensor working. Star rating increased. Edit 14 months later. The blue led on the front of the homebase has stopped working. Contacted Eufy who tell me that the alarm is out of guarantee so sorry, we can't help but the homebase will still work OK. No way of telling if it's operating correctly so I guess I'll have to take their word for it. Poor response from Eufy and one customer lost.
