Question 1

Can the eufy Indoor Cam C120 be installed via a Windows 11 laptop?

Accepted Answer

No, the Eufy Indoor Cam C120 cannot be installed via a Windows 11 laptop. The installation process is entirely based on the eufy Security mobile app and requires an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.

To install your camera, you first need to download the eufy Security app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play (for Android). This app is the only tool needed to set up the camera and access its features.

Here are the steps to follow for installation:

Download the eufy Security app from the App Store or Google Play
Create an eufy Security account or log in if you already have one
Plug the camera into a power outlet using the provided 5V/1A USB cable
In the app, tap on Add Device and select Indoor Cam C120
Enter your Wi-Fi credentials (the camera only works on 2.4 GHz)
Wait for the LED indicator to turn solid blue, which confirms a successful connection

Once the camera is connected to Wi-Fi via the app, you can view the live video feed, set up automatic recordings, enable motion detection notifications, and adjust all settings directly from your phone. No PC software, no web browser, and no computer are needed to use your Eufy Indoor Cam C120.

Question 2

How to connect the eufy Indoor Cam C120 to Wi-Fi?

Accepted Answer

The eufy Indoor Cam C120 connects to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi via the eufy Security app. Here is the procedure:

Connection Steps

Download the eufy Security app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
Create an eufy Security account or log in.
Plug in the camera using the provided 5V/1A USB cable.
Ensure that the LED indicator is slowly blinking blue (this means it is ready for pairing).
In the app, tap on “Add Device” and select the Indoor Cam C120.
Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.
Wait for the LED indicator to turn solid blue - this indicates that the camera is connected and functional.

Important Points

Make sure your router is turned on and the camera is nearby.
Use a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (some dual-band routers may require selecting the 2.4 GHz band in the settings).
Enter the Wi-Fi password correctly (case-sensitive).
If the LED indicator is slowly blinking red after pairing, it indicates an internet disconnection - restart the camera and the router.

Question 3

Does the eufy Indoor Cam C120 record if it is not plugged in?

Accepted Answer

No, the eufy Indoor Cam C120 will not record if it is unplugged. This camera operates exclusively on mains power via the provided cable and USB adapter. It does not have any built-in battery and relies entirely on electricity to function.

When the camera is unplugged or in the event of a power outage, here is what happens immediately:

Recording stops immediately
The video cannot be saved
Two-way audio no longer works
Live access to the camera via the eufy Security app becomes impossible
Motion detection notifications are no longer sent

As soon as power is restored, the eufy Indoor Cam C120 automatically restarts and resumes normal operation with the connection to your eufy Security system. The camera reconnects to your Wi-Fi network and resumes recording.

If you want to protect your surveillance in case of a power outage, you can connect the camera to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). This will ensure continuous power to your camera during a power cut and preserve your recordings. Just make sure that the UPS has sufficient capacity to power the camera (the provided adapter consumes 5V/1A).
