You may have been wondering what the red blinking signal on your Eufy Camera means and how to fix it. A red blinking light is one of the most classic signifiers to tell you something is wrong with your gear. So, let’s break down possibilities and solutions.
What Does the Eufy Camera Blinking Red Mean?
A red blinking light generally means a connectivity issue on your Eufy camera. Depending on your model, it mainly means either the Eufy camera offline and cannot connect to either the HomeBase or Wi-Fi; this could be as a result of
Wi-Fi signal gone or weak
- Incorrect Wi-Fi password entered during setup
- Power problems
- Failed firmware upgrade
- Network or router changes
Before you lose your temper, just remember that the red light is your camera asking for help- it’s basically saying to you, “I need to reconnect.”
How to Remedy That Red Light That Is Blinking
- Check Your Wireless Connection: Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is working properly. Check whether it works by attaching another device.
- The camera should be pulled more close to the router or HomeBase where the signal is weak.
- Power cycle the camera by unplugging it for ten seconds and re-plugging it in. Many issues have been resolved by this easy reset.
- Reset Eufy Camera: Look into doing a hard reset if the red light keeps on coming up. Find the reset button, which is usually a pinhole, and hold it for about 10 seconds, or until you see the red light solidify. Then proceed with the setup process again within the Eufy Security app.
- Sometimes firmware updates need to be done to fix an issue or improve the connectivity. In the device settings, open the app, and look for firmware updates.
If your Eufy camera is blinking red, then it just needs some troubleshooting and is not damaged. Most issues can be resolved by checking the connections or resetting the Eufy camera, whether the camera is offline owing to Wi-Fi issues or configuration mistakes.
