Anker Eufy Motion Sensor White

Eufy Motion Sensor — White

The Eufy Motion Sensor is a compact home security add-on that detects movement and sends instant alerts to a connected smartphone. Additionally, it works alongside the eufy Security HomeBase to watch over entryways, hallways, and rooms while residents are away or asleep. Because it mounts without wiring, this motion sensor suits homeowners building out a layered security system and renters who want flexible coverage for specific rooms.

Technical Specifications

Detection Performance

• Field of view: The sensor scans 100° horizontally, so it catches movement across a wide arc from one fixed point.
• Detection range: It picks up motion up to 30 feet (9 meters) away, which suits large rooms and open layouts.
• Sensitivity: Owners adjust sensitivity through the eufy Security app, and this setting ignores pets under roughly 50 lb (23 kg).
• Environment: The sensor works indoors only, and since it lacks waterproofing, it should stay away from damp or outdoor spots.

Power & Battery

• Battery type: A single CR123A battery powers the sensor, and Eufy includes one in the box.
• Battery life: The battery typically lasts up to 2 years, so owners rarely need to think about maintenance.
• Low-battery indicator: An LED flashes a warning whenever the battery runs low, prompting a timely swap.

Mounting & Installation

• Recommended height: Installers should mount the sensor 2m to 2.5m (6.6 ft to 8.2 ft) above the floor for the best coverage.
• Tilt angle: The default tilt sits at 20° downward, though homes with larger pets benefit from a 10° angle instead.
• Mounting options: A 3M adhesive strip allows tool-free installation, while the included screws suit a more permanent fix.
• Rotation: Once mounted, the sensor rotates up to 30° horizontally, letting installers fine-tune the coverage area.

Connectivity

• Pairing: The sensor connects to a eufy Security HomeBase over sub-1GHz wireless, though the HomeBase itself sells separately.
• App integration: Because everything routes through the eufy Security app, owners manage alerts, sensitivity, and device names from one screen.
• Compatibility: It also works alongside other eufy Security devices once they share the same HomeBase system.

Operating Conditions

• Temperature range: The sensor handles -10°C to 40°C, which covers most indoor climates without extra protection.
• Colour: Since it comes in white, it blends into most wall finishes and trim.

Use Cases & Applications

Does the Eufy Motion Sensor work without a HomeBase?

No. The sensor pairs exclusively with a eufy Security HomeBase, which sells separately. Therefore, anyone starting from scratch needs a HomeBase before this sensor becomes functional.

Is this motion sensor suitable for homes with pets?

Yes, for the most part. Adjustable sensitivity filters out smaller pets, and additionally, the tilt angle shifts to 10° for households with dogs over 50 lb, which reduces false triggers.

Can it be installed outdoors or in a garage?

The sensor works indoors only, since it lacks waterproofing. However, a garage that stays dry and enclosed works fine, while exposed or damp outdoor spots do not.

How long does the battery actually last?

Under normal household activity, the included CR123A battery lasts up to two years. However, battery life varies with how often motion triggers alerts, because more frequent detections use more power.
