# How do I set up a new Eufy camera?

It is simple to execute a new [**Eufy camera setup**](https://eufysmartcam.com/eufy-camera-setup/). Make sure the camera, power adapter, and any mounting attachments are all included when you first open the camera's package. 

If you haven't already, register for an account before downloading the Eufy Security app from the App Store.

The camera may then be turned on by plugging it into a power source. To add a new device, launch the app and press the "+" symbol. 

After choosing your camera model from the list, adhere to the in-app directions. 

Usually, this entails connecting the camera to your wireless network. Since many Eufy cameras are incompatible with 5 GHz bands, make sure you are on a 2.4 GHz network. 

When asked, enter your Wi-Fi credentials in the app for [**eufy login**](https://eufysmartcam.com/) as well.

It might be necessary to link some cameras with a HomeBase device. 

If this is the case, synchronize the camera with the HomeBase by connecting it to your network via Ethernet, turning it on, and then following the app's instructions.

Once connected, use the app's live view feature to check the camera positioning. 

Using the included hardware, firmly install it after adjusting the location and angle as necessary. 

Make sure outside cameras are adequately weatherproofed. 

Lastly, use the app to adjust settings including recording options, motion detection zones, and notifications.
