HomeBase-centric camera systems need the hub documented first.
Organizing Eufy devices means documenting hubs first, then endpoints, then automations worth saving.
This guide stays practical: what to list, what to ignore, and how to share access without oversharing.
Hubs and accounts first
Identify the controlling app and eufy Security / eufyLife accounts owner email.
Local storage habits differ from cloud-first brands — note where footage lives.
If there are multiple homes in the app, write which physical address maps to which home name.
One room model
Pick room names and reuse them in the app and in Home Tech Vault.
Vacuum maps reset after a move with no floor notes.
Inconsistent room names break guest instructions and automation mental models.
Fields that matter
Capture account email, HomeBase location, camera positions, storage mode (local/cloud).
Vacuum and security product lines may use separate apps.
Battery devices need install dates or last-replacement notes.
Manual backups worth keeping
Export or screenshot automations you would hate to rebuild.
Family members install a second account by mistake.
Note where local vs cloud recordings live for cameras.
Retire dead endpoints
Remove ghost Eufy devices from both the app and your inventory.
Ghost devices inflate insurance lists and confuse troubleshooting.
Schedule a quarterly 15-minute cleanup.
