eufy does not offer an official Windows desktop app. The only official way to view your eufy cameras on a PC is through the eufy Security Web Portal, which is accessible from any browser on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, or Chrome OS. For eufy NVR PoE systems, use the dedicated eufy NVR Web Portal instead.
This guide walks you through both methods in under 5 minutes.
Part 1: How to View eufy Cameras on a PC
Since the eufy app is not compatible with PC, the only official way to view your eufy cameras on PC is via the web portal. But you also need the eufy app set up on your smartphone. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Install the official eufy app on your smartphone and set up an account if you don't have one.
If you've already set up the eufy app, proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Open the eufy web portal in your browser and enter your credentials to sign in to your account.
Step 3: Once you provide the correct credentials, you'll be asked to enter your "Safety PIN," which you will generate in the eufy app.
Step 4: Launch your eufy app and click on your "Profile icon" located at the top left corner, then select "Settings."
Step 5: Select "Security" > "Web Portal Access" and turn it on.
Step 6: Select the duration to view your eufy camera via the web portal and generate the PIN.
Step 7: Finally, enter the generated PIN in the eufy web portal. Now you should have access to your camera via your PC.
Note: This web portal works on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, and Chrome OS — no PC software installation required.
Part 2: How to View eufy NVR PoE Cameras on PC
The above steps are only for non-PoE eufy cameras. If you own eufy NVR PoE cameras, you will need to use the dedicated eufy NVR Web Portal to view and manage them on your computer. Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Set Up the eufy App
Make sure you have the official eufy Security app installed on your smartphone and that your account and cameras are already added.
Step 2: Visit the eufy NVR Web Portal
Open your browser and go to nvr.eufy.com
In the top-right corner, select your country or region, then log in using the same email address and password you use for the eufy Security app.
Now that you've set up your "Command Center" on the big screen, you might notice there's plenty of room for more angles. The best part of PC monitoring is seeing your front door, backyard, and living room all at once.

Step 3: Initial Setup for First-Time Users
If this is your first time accessing the NVR Web Portal, you'll need to set up your live view:
- Go to Live Setup
- Add your cameras and configure your preferred viewing layout.
- Click "Apply Changes" to save your settings.
Step 4: Start Viewing
After setup, you'll be able to view live feeds from your PoE cameras directly on your PC through the web interface.
Part 3: Other Ways to View eufy Camera Live Streams
While viewing your eufy cameras on PC gives you a broader view of your surveillance, it might not be effective for monitoring your property on the go. In this section, we've explained the other ways to view a eufy camera live stream via the eufy app or the latest eufy Smart Display E10.
Method 1: Via eufy App
The new all-in-one eufy app allows you to manage all of your eufy products together, and of course, you can control your smart home security devices easily to secure your house:
- Add & share devices
- Instant notification
- View live feed
- Adjust the security sensitivity level
- Customize the monitoring area
Method 2: Via eufy Smart Display E10
The eufy Smart Display E10 is a smart home hub for all your eufy security devices, including cameras, doorbells, and locks.
Unlike the eufy app or web portal, this smart display lets you stream multi-camera live feeds simultaneously. So eufy users can keep an eye on up to four cameras at once.
And you'll never miss a thing with the E10! Whenever someone rings the doorbell, unlocks the door, or is detected by the camera, it lights up automatically, showing you a live feed and giving you a voice alert. You can move it around with you when you are at home. Even when you're away, it smartly generates daily reports so you can keep tabs on everything happening at home.
Additionally, to enhance your home security, the E10 comes equipped with advanced facial and package recognition technology powered by HomeBase™ S380, which can accurately identify what's been detected.

Method 3: Via BlueStacks Android Emulator (Workaround)
BlueStacks is a third-party Android emulator that lets you run the eufy Security app on a Windows PC.
Steps:
- Download and install BlueStacks on your Windows PC.
- Open BlueStacks and install the eufy Security app from Google Play.
- Sign in with your eufy account.
- Access your camera's live feed directly in the app.
Pros: Full access to app features, including event playback.
Cons: Performance depends on your PC specs; eufy does not provide technical support for this method.
Note: This is an unofficial workaround. For the most stable experience, use the eufy Web Portal instead.
