Check the exact Eufy model first

RTSP/NAS support varies by model and firmware. Some Indoor Cam and eufyCam/HomeBase systems expose event-only or continuous streams; other models do not. Check the Eufy app and official support page for your exact model.

How to Enable RTSP on Eufy Camera

1

Open Eufy Security app

Open the Eufy Security app on your phone and select the exact camera you want to configure.

2

Enable RTSP stream

Open Camera Settings → Storage → NAS (RTSP Stream). Enable it, choose event or continuous mode if offered, and copy the generated RTSP URL.

3

Add to SmartRTSP

In SmartRTSP, tap + → Manual. Paste the RTSP URL from the Eufy app and tap Connect. Make sure your iPhone/Mac is on the same Wi-Fi network as the camera.

Copy the complete URL and any configured authentication from your device. Do not assume a universal admin password or /live0 path.

Always use the URL shown in the Eufy app as it may vary by model and firmware version.

Event-only streams can disconnect normally

Eufy's NAS instructions explain that standby cameras may stop sending video. In event-only mode, connection-lost and connection-recovered messages can reflect normal wake and sleep behavior rather than a wrong URL.

  1. Confirm the camera recording mode before expecting an uninterrupted live stream.
  2. For the documented NAS connection test, trigger the camera with motion so that it wakes and starts sending video.
  3. If the test fails, recheck the current app-generated URL and the reachable camera or HomeBase address before retrying.
  4. Keep the stream private and redact credentials before sharing connection logs.

See the official NAS setup instructions for the supported series and event behavior.

HomeBase recording does not prove NAS export support

Check NAS/RTSP separately from local recording. For example, the reviewed official E330 introduction lists 24/7 recording with HomeBase 3 but marks NAS/RTSP as No. Treat that as the scope of that specification, not a permanent statement about every firmware: check your current app and obtain model-specific confirmation from Eufy if newer firmware differs. A HomeBase compatibility label alone is insufficient.

FAQ

My Eufy camera doesn't show RTSP option in the app?
NAS/RTSP support is model- and firmware-specific. Update the Eufy Security app and device firmware, then check Camera Settings → Storage for NAS (RTSP Stream). Some battery systems expose an event-only stream through HomeBase rather than a continuous stream.
Where is the official Eufy RTSP documentation?
Use Eufy's official Using NAS Storage Step by Step article and model-specific support pages. The app-generated URL is authoritative for your device.
Why does my event-only stream disconnect?
The official NAS guide explains that standby cameras may stop sending video. In event-only mode, connection-lost and connection-recovered messages can reflect normal wake and sleep behavior. Trigger the camera for the documented connection test.
