How to Turn Off Eufy Security Camera Alarm Goprocamera27, April 27, 2026 If your Eufy security camera suddenly blares a loud siren when a squirrel runs by or a car passes your driveway, you’re not alone. The alarm (siren) is enabled by default on most Eufy models—even when motion detection is finely tuned. This can lead to startling false alarms, especially at night. The good news? You can turn off the siren while keeping motion alerts and video recording active. This guide walks you through every method to silence your Eufy camera’s alarm, whether you own a 2C Pro, S220, S330 4G LTE, or EufyCam E. You’ll learn how to disable the alarm via the Smart tab, Security tab, or direct camera settings, plus troubleshoot cases where the alarm still triggers despite being “off.” Disable Alarm in Smart Mode Settings The most common way to turn off the siren is through mode-specific settings in the Eufy app. This method applies to Home Base-connected cameras like the 2C Pro, EufyCam E, and S330. Uncheck Camera Alarm Per Mode Open the Eufy Security app. Tap the Smart tab at the bottom. Select your Home Base device. Tap the gear icon (⚙️) next to your active mode (e.g., Home, Away). Find Camera Alarm and uncheck it. Optionally, uncheck Home Base Alarm to silence the base station. Tap Save in the top-right corner. 🔴 Critical: You must repeat this for every mode (Home, Away, Night). Disabling in one does not affect others. Why Users Miss This Step Many users believe they’ve turned off the alarm—only to be startled later when it goes off in “Away” mode. That’s because Eufy treats each security mode independently. If you only disabled the alarm in “Home” mode, it will still trigger in “Away.” Pro Tip: Switch to each mode in the app and verify the alarm is unchecked and saved. Some users only use “Away” at night, so the siren catches them off guard. Use Security Tab for Older App Versions Some users see the Security tab instead of Smart, especially on older app versions or devices without Home Base integration. Adjust Device Control Settings Open the Eufy app. Tap Security (bottom right). Go to Device Control. Select Home mode → tap the cog icon (⚙️). Uncheck Camera Alarm and Home Base Alarm. Tap Save. Repeat for Away mode and any other active modes. ✅ User Confirmed: “I had to disable it in both Home and Away. Only then did the siren stop.” This path works on legacy firmware and is still visible in app versions prior to v5.0.60. If you’re using an older interface, this may be the only available route to disable the alarm. Direct Alarm Toggle for SoloCam Models Standalone cameras like the Eufy S220 and S330 in standalone mode don’t rely on Home Base—so they offer a simpler, direct way to disable the alarm. Turn Off Alarm in Camera Settings Open the Eufy app. Tap the Devices tab. Select your S220 or compatible SoloCam. Tap the “…” (more options) next to the camera name. Tap the gear icon (⚙️). Go to Alarm Settings. Toggle the alarm switch to Off. ✅ No per-mode setup needed. One toggle disables the siren completely. This method is faster and more intuitive—ideal for users who don’t use Home Base. If Settings Don’t Appear: Ensure the camera is powered and connected to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Re-pair if needed: Press and hold the SYNC button until it beeps, then follow app setup. Model-Specific Alarm Behaviors Not all Eufy cameras work the same. Here’s how alarms differ by model. Model Alarm Type Disable Method Key Notes Eufy 2C Pro Motion-triggered siren Uncheck “Camera Alarm” per mode No anti-theft alarm EufyCam E Anti-Theft + Motion Siren Disable Anti-Theft Detection Siren triggers on tampering Eufy S220 Built-in siren Direct toggle in Alarm Settings Standalone control Eufy S330 4G LTE Integrated siren Smart tab → Mode Settings → uncheck Camera Alarm Works with/without Home Base C-Series (2C, 4C) Motion-based siren Disable per mode No tamper detection Special Case: EufyCam E The EufyCam E has a dual alarm system: – One for motion detection – One for anti-theft (tamper) detection Even if you disable “Camera Alarm” in mode settings, the anti-theft siren may still trigger if someone moves or disconnects the camera. Fix: Go to Camera Settings → Detection Settings → Anti-Theft Detection → Turn Off This stops tamper-based alarms while preserving motion alerts. Troubleshoot Persistent Alarms Did you disable the alarm—but it still goes off? Here’s why and how to fix it. Alarm Still Triggers? Check These Fixes ❌ Only One Mode Was Updated Problem: You disabled the alarm in “Home” but not “Away.” Fix: Repeat the disable steps for all active modes. 📌 User Tip: Some users only use “Away” mode at night—so the siren goes off unexpectedly. ❌ Forgot to Tap Save Problem: The app doesn’t auto-save. Unchecking without tapping Save does nothing. Fix: Always tap Save after unchecking alarm options. ❌ Anti-Theft Detection Still On (EufyCam E) Problem: The camera thinks it’s being stolen. Fix: Disable Anti-Theft Detection in camera settings. ❌ App or Firmware Out of Date Problem: Older versions hide or mislabel alarm settings. Fix: – Update the Eufy Security app (Google Play / App Store). – Update camera firmware via Devices → Camera → Settings → Firmware Update. ❌ Server Sync Issues Problem: Some users report alarms triggered due to delays with Eufy’s cloud servers (especially Chinese servers). Fix: – Ensure stable Wi-Fi. – Avoid blocking Eufy domains unless you accept reduced functionality. Missing “Camera Alarm” Option? Try This Some users don’t see Camera Alarm—only Home Base Alarm. Why This Happens App version limits granular control. Firmware doesn’t expose per-camera alarm settings. Camera model lacks local siren (rare). Workarounds Disable Home Base Alarm if Camera Alarm is missing. Switch tabs: Try both Smart and Security tabs. Reboot camera: Unplug for 10 seconds, then relaunch the app. Update app: Newer versions restore missing options. ✅ User Confirmed: “After updating to v5.0.60, the Camera Alarm option reappeared.” Silence Without Fully Disabling Want to reduce noise but keep some alert capability? Lower Alarm Volume to Zero Go to Device Settings → Sound → Alarm Volume. Slide volume to minimum (0%). This functionally silences the siren while keeping the alarm “on” in settings. 🔔 Note: The blue LED may still flash during motion events. Stop Blue Light Without Disabling Alerts Turning off the alarm does not stop the blue LED from flashing during motion detection. Blue Light Still On? Here’s Why Visual alerts remain active even with siren off. Cannot be disabled independently in most models. Workarounds Disable motion detection at night via schedule. Use custom detection zones to reduce false triggers. Cover LED (not recommended—may void warranty or overheat camera). ⚠️ Eufy Support Confirms: Blue light cannot be disabled separately on most models. Advanced Tips: Group Control & Dashboard Shortcuts Add Alarm Toggle to Home Screen You can add a quick on/off button to the app dashboard: Go to Smart → Group Control. Tap + Add Group or edit existing. Name the group (e.g., “Front Yard”). The app may display Alarm On/Off buttons. 🔹 Note: This is only a shortcut—you still must configure alarm settings per mode first. User Hack peter853 reported: “I just renamed my group, and suddenly the alarm toggle appeared. No idea why, but it worked.” When Nothing Works: Reset the Camera If the alarm persists despite all fixes, reset the device. Full Reset Steps Press and hold the SYNC button for 10–15 seconds. Wait for lights to flash or a beep. In the app, go to Devices → remove the camera. Re-add it via Add Device. During setup, disable alarm immediately in mode settings. ✅ This clears corrupted settings and firmware glitches. Best Practices to Prevent Alarm Issues Follow these tips to avoid future siren surprises. Update App and Firmware Check for updates monthly. Outdated versions may lack disable options or misbehave. Reboot After Changes Unplug camera for 10 seconds. Plug back in and verify settings. Use Detection Zones Exclude driveways, trees, or streets from motion zones. Reduces triggers—even if alarm is off. Schedule Modes Automatically Set Home/Away modes to switch based on time or location. Ensures alarm settings apply correctly. Summary: Key Steps to Silence Any Eufy Camera Alarm Action Applies To Required? Disable Camera Alarm in each mode 2C Pro, S330, C-Series ✅ Yes Disable Home Base Alarm Systems with base station ✅ Recommended Tap Save after every change All users ✅ Mandatory Turn off Anti-Theft Detection EufyCam E only ✅ If applicable Use direct Alarm Settings toggle S220, SoloCam ✅ For standalone Update app and firmware All models ✅ Prevents bugs Reboot camera Troubleshooting ✅ If alarm persists Final Thoughts Turning off the alarm on your Eufy security camera isn’t always obvious—but it is possible without losing motion alerts or video recording. The key is knowing your model type, using the correct app tab (Smart or Security), and remembering to disable the alarm in every mode and tap Save. For standalone cameras like the S220, a single toggle in Camera Settings does the job. For Home Base models, it’s a bit more involved—but once done, the siren stays off. If the alarm still sounds, check for anti-theft detection, app updates, or perform a full reset. And remember: the blue light may stay on, but that’s normal—even with the siren disabled. Now you can keep your Eufy camera watching—without the surprise wake-up calls. Help
