Worse than v1. Best security and surveillance

Just received, set up and updated eufy v1 wired doorbell. With the new one I set the activity zone but motion is detected outside of the set zone so my phone is constantly disabled for cars. There is no way to fix the wide angle curve like in v1. No pre-record 3s like in v1. And to top it all off, the recording seems to play at 1.25x. I'm going back to v1, it's terrible. Avoid.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • No

I wish I could give this one more stars.

Easy setup - folks, you CAN use Wi-Fi to connect HOMEBASE to your router! Just make a wired connection, set it up in the app first, then click "Settings". You can connect via WiFi and disconnect the cable. It's not in the instructions at all! The recordings are so short in automatic mode (optimal battery and surveillance) that they stop before people have left the screen or a package has been delivered. To fix this, use the custom setting and set the maximum recording time (120s) and restart it

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not sure

Great alternative to Ring with local storage.

I had a Ring doorbell and then upgraded to Ring Pro and have had it for a long time. I was looking for something that can be saved locally. I looked at the other one, but the front doorbell didn't ring. When I first got the doorbell, it kept disconnecting. Working with tech support, I was able to get it running reliably. There was a firmware update that I applied and moved the Home Base. Overall I'm very happy with the doorbell and now I don't have to pay a monthly fee anymore! It is superiorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Faulty

I have already reviewed this product but that was before I sent it back.

I don't like reviews that don't provide definitive results because, like most of you, I'm very short on time. Suffice it to say that the main benefit of this thing is local storage and nothing more. Unfortunately, that doesn't matter either, as the camera needs an internet connection to connect to the security server just to access your local storage. Render this thing useless as without it you will NOT be able to access videos stored on your local storage. In short, there is no good reason for

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • A bit shabby

So far this is the only doorbell with local external storage

I've only had the wired version of the eufy doorbell but still have concerns about storing it in the doorbell where it becomes useless and if lost the doorbell is stolen. I'm not a fan of cloud storage either. Advantages: 1. local external storage where entries are now stored in homebase22. wired integration with existing doorbell, homebase2 can also act as an additional bell. Activate/deactivate beep via eufy app.3. Expandable if you want to add eufycam.4 later. Video and Live Steamโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • So far so good

To make a long story short, the Eufy doorbell really does what it says on the tin. Setup is extremely easy, video is crisp and fast, motion alerts are relevant and customizable to your needs, and the app is *incredibly* easy to use. I appreciate having more control over who has access to my videos. While I would have liked the battery to be separate from the doorbell, when that is the case with other Eufy products, the battery lasts a very long time. Also, the support from Anker/Eufy is topโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Only available in white

Best Battery Powered Video Doorbell

Used a battery powered doorbell from a company whose privacy policy has been questioned and who also charges a monthly fee for cloud storage. I wanted to find a solution that would allow me to record locally and not pay a monthly fee. Wirecutter highly recommended the wired version of this doorbell, so I was excited to see the battery powered version released and I wasn't disappointed. PROs - Very easy setup - 2K video resolution that looks great day and night - Super intuitive app with lots of

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Eufy/Anker support was PHENOMENAL! What a wonderful product!

This product is AWESOME! Everything I've tried works exactly as it should! Setup was easy and intuitive. I had just one question and called Anker. My call was answered by Teagan in about a minute, and I was up and running in two minutes. Anker's customer support has been POSITIVELY EXCELLENT whether by phone or email. More companies could learn from Anker's support for her very caring and helpful nature. They put their customers first! So far everything works great including the ability to useโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

REVIEW UPDATED: March 2020

Review updated: Eufy Support contacted me to resolve the issues I raised in my review and sent them via Email sent to support. I reinstalled the doorbell camera after the firmware update. I moved the camera but due to the cutout in the door the infrared lamps create poor glare from adjacent walls at night. This is noted as possible in the installation guide, so I turned it off at night and the footage is still visible. I have upgraded my rating from 2 to 3 stars as I have installed Eufy Battery

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
