Well they need to tell their international sales & support reps, because the official line is that it’s still coming, but no timeframe for it.
Until they upgrade the hardware on the homebase it won’t happen. The Homebase2 doesn’t have the processing power to handle on the fly decryption for external storage without degrading performance. Software updates only work if the underlying hardware is capable. That’s why they need to build a new Homebase. Supposedly it will happen this year, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. They also need create a way to manage devices across multiple homebases for those with large areas and lots of devices.

The same question I needed an answer on
Same as I did in January this year, but apparently more fool us for believing what they have on their Australian website.
I’ll be relegating this set to my back fence line eventually, when I can afford a set of real security cameras for the house.
I’ve now advised family, friends & neighbours to avoid Eufy products completely.

Being able to expand my storage would heavily contribute to be buying more cameras

I’m disappointed about the storage issue. Why don’t eufy make a separate “storage link hub” which takes the raw files passed from Homebases, then that unit can decode and distribute to things like usb devices and NAS etc. Kind of like a proxy device, maybe one you can connect to your tv so you can view your cam feeds like the old school cctv systems? Not much processing power needed in the old hubs and also let’s people use whatever storage they need??

How is this still not a feature? Seriously, any updates?

Hopefully there’s a group of folks silently working on an option of storage expansion, stoic in the face of unappreciative masses. My purchase decision for a eufy system was also based on the future expansion through USB. Cloud is only as good as the internet options for the area, and not all options make cloud useful. The NAS option hopefully will prove flexible and not limited to something unnecessarily proprietary and expensive; fingers crossed. RTSP seems like a poor final option, since that’s going to hit the battery. To the coders grinding this out for the good, thanks. Respectfully, an end user desperately clinging to the candle of hope.
