If your eufyCam E40 is not detecting motion, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Ensure that the movement you wish the camera to detect is within its field of view and does not exceed 8m/26ft from the camera. Furthermore, make sure that the Motion Detection feature is enabled in the camera's settings.

  • To adjust the sensitivity of your camera’s motion detection, launch the eufy app > select the eufyCam E40 > Camera Settings > Motion Detection.

  1. Confirm that the “Video Recording” and “Notification” options are enabled in the Security mode.

  • Launch the eufy app > select the Smart tab located at the bottom of the screen > Home/Away mode > Settings > enable the “Video Recording” and “Notification” options.

  1. Make sure the camera is not mounted behind a glass window.
