If you’re seeing “Anti-theft Detection” alerts from your Eufy security camera, you might be wondering what triggered it and how to resolve it. Let’s break down what this feature means and how to manage it.
Understanding Eufy’s Anti-theft Detection
Eufy’s Anti-theft Detection is a security measure designed to prevent physical tampering with your camera. This feature triggers an alarm on the camera itself and sends you a notification if it detects unusual movement or vibration, signaling a potential attempt to move or disable the device.
How to Tell if Anti-theft Detection Has Been Activated
You’ll know your Eufy camera’s Anti-theft Detection is activated when:
- You receive a notification on your smartphone: The Eufy Security app will send a notification stating “Anti-theft Detection.”
- Your camera sounds an alarm: The camera itself will emit a loud, high-pitched siren sound.
Tools to Troubleshoot Eufy Anti-theft Detection Issues
- Your smartphone with the Eufy Security app installed: You’ll use this to adjust sensitivity settings and check notifications.
- A stable internet connection: Ensure your camera is online and communicating with the app.
Steps to Manage Your Eufy Anti-theft Detection
- Check the Camera’s Placement: Make sure the camera isn’t mounted on a surface prone to vibrations, like a flimsy pole or near a window that rattles easily.
- Adjust Sensitivity Settings: You can adjust the sensitivity of the Anti-theft Detection feature in the Eufy Security app. Lowering the sensitivity can prevent false alarms.
- Disable the Feature (If Necessary): If you find the Anti-theft Detection feature too sensitive or disruptive, you can disable it entirely within the Eufy Security app. However, this is generally not recommended unless absolutely necessary.

FAQs About Eufy Anti-theft Detection and Car Diagnostics
Q: Can I use a car diagnostic tool to check the battery health of my Eufy camera?
A: Car diagnostic tools are specifically designed for vehicles and cannot be used to troubleshoot or diagnose issues with Eufy cameras. They operate on entirely different systems. However, for reliable car diagnostic solutions, you can explore the range of products offered by Cardiagtech.
Q: My Eufy camera constantly triggers Anti-theft Detection. What should I do?
A: Start by checking for any environmental factors like wind or vibrations. If that’s not the issue, try lowering the sensitivity in the app. Persisting problems might require contacting Eufy support or exploring solutions offered by companies like Cardiagtech for expert advice.
Q: What is the difference between motion detection and Anti-theft Detection on my Eufy camera?
A: Motion detection records events and sends alerts when movement is detected in the camera’s field of view. Anti-theft Detection specifically focuses on movements or vibrations of the camera itself, indicating someone might be trying to tamper with it.
