Decide on the ideal location for your Eufy IP security camera. Common installation points include the front door, back door, or any other area you want to monitor. Ensure the camera is within Wi-Fi range.

(The camera should be mounted at a height of 7-10 feet (2-3 meters) above the ground. The camera should also have a clear view of the area you want to monitor.
