Monitoring activities around your property seamlessly from your smartphone is what the eufy app excels at if you use a eufy camera for surveillance.
Wanting a broader view of your security feed is a different story—that's when viewing your eufy camera on a PC becomes necessary.
A workaround exists to view your camera on a PC even though eufy doesn't offer an official desktop app. Read on to discover how!
Part 1: How to View eufy Cameras on a PC
Via the web portal is the only official way to view your eufy cameras on PC since the eufy app isn't compatible with desktop. But the eufy app also needs to be set up on your smartphone. Here's how:
Step 1: Install the official eufy app on your smartphone and create an account if you haven't already.
Proceed to the next step if the eufy app is already set up.
Step 2: Open the eufy web portal in your browser and enter your credentials to sign in.
Step 3: A "Safety Pin" sent to the eufy app will be requested once you provide the correct credentials.
Step 4: Launch your eufy app, tap the "Profile icon" in the top left corner, then choose "Settings."
Step 5: Select "Security" > "Web Portal Access" and enable it.
Step 6: Choose how long you want to view your eufy camera via the web portal, then generate the pin.
Step 7: Enter the generated PIN in the eufy web portal. You now have PC access to your camera.
Part 2: How to View eufy NVR PoE Cameras on PC
For non-PoE eufy cameras only are the above steps. Using the dedicated eufy NVR Web Portal is required to view and manage eufy NVR PoE cameras on your computer. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Set Up the eufy App
Ensure the official eufy Security app is installed on your smartphone with your account and cameras already added.
Step 2: Visit the eufy NVR Web Portal
Navigate to nvr.eufy.com in your browser.
Select your country or region in the top-right corner, then log in using the same email and password as your eufy Security app.
Seeing your front door, backyard, and living room all at once is the best part of PC monitoring now that you've set up your "Command Centre" on the big screen—plenty of room for more angles.
Step 3: Initial Setup for First-Time Users
Setting up your live view is needed if this is your first time accessing the NVR Web Portal:
- Navigate to Live Setup.
- Add your cameras and configure your preferred viewing layout.
- Click "Apply Changes" to save your settings.
Step 4: Start Viewing
Viewing live feeds from your PoE cameras directly on your PC through the web interface is possible after setup.
Part 3: Other Ways to View eufy Camera Live Streams
A broader view of your surveillance is what viewing your eufy cameras on PC provides, but monitoring your property on the go might not be effective this way. Other ways to view a eufy camera live stream via the eufy app or the latest eufy Smart Display E10 are explained below:
Method 1: Via eufy App
Managing all your eufy products together is what the new all-in-one eufy app enables, and controlling your smart home security devices to secure your house is straightforward:
- Add & share devices
- Instant notifications
- View live feed
- Adjust the security sensitivity level
- Customise the monitoring area
Method 2: Via eufy Smart Display E10
A brand new smart home hub for all your eufy security devices—including cameras, doorbells, and locks—is the eufy Smart Display E10.
Streaming multi-camera live feeds simultaneously is what this smart display lets you do, unlike the eufy app or web portal. Keeping an eye on up to four cameras at once is possible for eufy users.
Never missing a thing is guaranteed with the E10! A live feed appears automatically with a voice alert whenever someone rings the doorbell, unlocks the door, or is detected by the camera. Keeping tabs on everything happening at home is easy even when you're away thanks to smart daily reports, and you can move it around with you at home.
Accurately identifying what's been detected is possible with the advanced facial and package recognition technology powered by HomeBase™3 that comes equipped with the E10 to enhance your home security.
Conclusion
Thanks to the official eufy web portal, viewing the eufy camera on PC is very straightforward. Offering instant notifications and powerful controls from your phone is what makes the eufy App an essential part of your toolkit for true convenience.
Taking your home security to the next level is what the Smart Display E10 delivers if you're looking for an upgrade. More than just a display—it's the smart hub of your eufy security devices—with multi-camera support, automatic alerts, local storage, and portability.
