Base / Hub integration

Owners appreciate that the AC-powered chime doubles as a smart-home hub with Matter bridge/controller, Thread border router, and Zigbee support, reducing the need for a separate hub even if Zigbee is limited to Aqara devices.

The doorbell connects through an indoor base station that also serves as local storage, can be shared with other Eufy cameras and devices, and can double as an indoor chime, helping keep the system centralized and reducing the number of separate hubs needed.

The indoor chime acts as the system hub, combining loud chime, Wi Fi repeater, and microSD recorder, and now also handling most of the G4’s local AI processing, giving a more reliable, secure setup than relying solely on the doorbell or cloud.

Integrates tightly with UniFi Protect and UFP Viewport, appearing like any UniFi camera and fitting easily into existing live views.

A bundled Blink Sync Module Core acts as a central hub that ties Blink cameras together and links them to the home Wi Fi network for simple whole system management.

The HomeBase hub reliably bridges the doorbell to the network while acting as both chime and local recorder, and this review confirms that plugging it into the router with Ethernet and pairing in the app was straightforward, with the base quietly handling 16 GB of footage and audible alerts indoors.

Pairing with a HomeBase hub expands local storage and brings the doorbell into Eufy’s wider security ecosystem, while HomeBase 3 also adds BionicMind AI features for smarter detection and higher upfront cost, with this review noting that most buyers can safely skip the hub unless they already run a bigger Eufy setup.
