BEST Video Doorbell 2024 with No Subscription Required Eufy Dual Camera Doorbell Installation Memory 

Nice! We still love ours. No complaints at all.

Yeah we didn’t have good luck with ring either. And so far we have no complaints with the Eufy

I really appreciate the kind words. Keeps me motivated to hear stuff like this. Thank you!

No stupid fillers no wasting time. Thank you

Your very welcome. Just trying to get the information out there so people can make options

I really appreciate that. We still love ours. Notifications are quick and pretty reliable…. And not paying any subscription for it is the best.

You’re very welcome. That’s awesome to hear. We still have ours and we love it.

I appreciate that.

Thank you!

Yep. I felt it was something a lot of people might need to know. I did my research and learned that is a common upgrade with these video doorbells in general

Haha. Well happy I could be of help. I just wanted to share my experiences and show what other options I’ve found out there. We still have no complaints with our Eufy doorbell. Works perfectly

Your very welcome!

Your very welcome. Happy you enjoyed it.

That’s awesome to hear. We still love our eufy doorbell and have no complaints. Love the no subscription

That’s amazing! I think a lot of people can relate to everything you just listed. Overall great products and I have zero complaints

Your very welcome

I agree. We have no complaints

I have no complaints about the Eufy system still. Great experience. I had the battery option first and went with the wired after I got tired of charging periodically. But that comes with any battery powered doorbell I guess.

You do know that they are hacked easily.. right?

@@sufferedlearnedchanged I wouldn’t necessarily say easily. But if “hackers” can hack into some of these major companies we hear about on the news once in a while I’m sure there could be a breach on a video doorbell. One of the nice things without having to use the cloud and having the local in-house storage, is that the only real way to get into any of your systems would be to be at your house and hack into your IP are local Wi-Fi. But then again, you would have access to all your devices connected to your Wi-Fi at that point almost. So that’s one of the reasons I like that the Eufy system doesn’t require you to use the cloud or else. You have options.

@@sufferedlearnedchanged not any easier than anyone else

Thank you for that. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I just wanted to get my personal opinion out there based off my own experiences. It’s always good to have more information out there so people can make their own informed decisions. I believe everything has its pros and cons. But for me, the biggest thing was not having to pay for subscription, if I didn’t want to.

@@FortKnoxCo CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY OWNS THIS COMPANY

Thank you I appreciate it.

Thank you!! I appreciate it.

Thank you! I really appreciate that

Do you have a pretty good memory with the plug-in chime. But I believe the new ones now have the ability to be added with the home base storage. So then you can have one or 2 TB of memory. Just kind of pens on how you want to set it up. We still use the regular set up with the plug-in chime and that is all the memory that we’ve been using. Haven’t had any problems with being able to go back and review footage from weeks ago but I haven’t looked to see how far back it goes.

Your very welcome

That sucks that you had such a bad experience with it. I have an experience that myself. I know they do have some adjustments with the sensitivity or types of motion you wanted to sense. But if it was doing that to you, and there was no fix. I could see that you had to go out and look for other options. I know everybody experiences different things, my horrible experience with ring. But I’ve heard other people have had success. Luckily there’s lots of options out there to fit peoples needs and budget.

That’s Awesome ! We love the system. No complaints

Did you have to upgrade your power source?

@@sean.g4516 yep. I upgraded the transformer. I did a video on how to do that too.

Thank you for your input! I’m this is good info because I’ve never used the blink systems. I think they all have their pros and cons but for what I need it for and experience with others I too prefer the Eufy. I’m happy with how fast they are like you said. Never had a problem with it. I used a battery powered and needed up switching to a wired version because I got tired of charging. I like being able to wire it in and not mess with it.

Thank you! Your very welcome

Of course. Happy to be of help

Thank you!

I believe so. Either when it detects motion it illuminates or when it’s pushed the ring lights up

@@FortKnoxCo thank you

@@medicmark9683 no prob

Thank you. I appreciate that.

That’s awesome I appreciate that 🤙🏼 I try to just get the info out and not play around with peoples time.

You’ll have to use the plug in that comes with it. Unfortunately the way these door bells work with having a constant supply of electricity they don’t activate the traditional type of door bell. The benefit though is that you can plug it in anywhere you want. It could be in your bedroom or the garage or wherever you might want the notification to be utilized best. And it can be an outlet that is not being used or somewhere out of sight if you prefer. It’s kind of cool that you can put the bell anywhere you want.

That’s awesome ! We have no complaints. I might try the new eufy exterior house light with camera. Looks pretty cool that you can change the colors of you home lights and have it hard wired in too

Your welcome

Nice!! We still love our Eufy doorbells. No complaints at all

No problem at all. Luckily there’s many options out there. Each with their pros n cons.

Both homebase 2 and 3 are supposed to work with their cameras and doorbells. I have a homebase 2 which works. But the homebase 3 says on its description that it will work with all eufy security devices by Dec 2023. So I’m not sure if that means it works with some but not all right now or what their plan is. I’d assume it works with the doorbell because it’s not a super new product from them.

@@FortKnoxCo i read that this does not work with homebase 3

@@johnnylawrence7232 yeah from what I’m readying is looks like the Home base 3c is built for the new 4K camera systems. Doesn’t look like that home base is able to add on the current door bells.

I have homemade three, it works, update software right away

@@teaglet1 that’s awesome!

Thank you. I appreciate that

@@FortKnoxCo you’re welcome! I’m shopping for a new doorbell camera. This helped narrow my search quickly. You answered all my questions in this video.

@@oldtech_76 awesome. That was my goal. I try to throw out in for that I had questions about or that I think others would want to know.

Just wanted to get some info out there so people could see they have options

Yeah Lorex is really good also. The technology is there now for all these doorbells to perform very similar. It’s just comes down to things like you pointed out why someone may need one over the other. I like that there’s multiple options.

I also use lorex good products can be pricey but a good product. It just works

@@Smiley-zm1rp that’s what matters most, having it work the way you want and expect. Happy you are liking them. They make good stuff

I have a full range of Lorex cameras and was using their NVR. Their NVR was dog slow so changed it out to a Blue-Iris machine. Blue Iris works quite well with Lorex cameras. Still have a Ring doorbell button, though - two more months on my subscription before it goes. Wanted a doorbell camera that uses existing doorbell so I have a Lorex doorbell camera. But the mounts on Lorex doorbell cameras suck. Very wimpy plastic mounts. Plus, they don't provide a base big enough to cover existing holes from previous doorbells. Not sure what to do for mounting this one.

That’s great! Keeps them safe inside incase someone tries to damage the doorbell outside.

I agree. This thing is great

Not quite sure how to add a NVR. Haven’t done it myself.

Sucks to hear that. I haven’t experienced any of those problems. The notifications come in quick, usually within 1-3 seconds of the motion my watch and phone are vibrating. And I’ve been able to catch people at my door before they leave and speak to them through the doorbell very well. As far as a base station storage and if your not storing anything in cloud, you’d want obviously want that in a secure location. Not out in the open or easily grabbed. That would be the same case with any security system that’s stored on property. You don’t want anyone grabbing the storage device.

Everyone should read this entire comment .

@@AM-mr8or I agree. Everyone should do their research and see what works best for them and their budget.

I completely agree! I personally love the doorbell. After having a couple others I still prefer the Eufy. I think the cameras detection system is great. I’m impressed how it has the facial recognition and sends you a snap shot of the persons face as they are walking up. And you are right with how fast it is. I hated getting a notification about someone at my door and by time I get it open to view they are gone or walking away. Not with this Eufy.

i agree, very good information. im happy someone is just putting good videos out there with a lot of the same questions we all might have.

Thank you! Your welcome!

The data/video is stored in the plug in chime that is plugged in the wall inside your home, so your data will be safe inside. It’s not stored directly in the doorbell itself. They thought of that part. And the newer plug in door chimes have expandable micro SD card slots to allow more storage if you choose to. And they have the home base storage too if you have the home security cameras which has 1T or bigger storage I believe. All in your home where you choose

Very good information. I may look into Wyze and see how their products work. I’m Always looking for new and improved tech out there.

Eufy uses SD card and is on sale for $89.99 right now with no monthly fee. About to buy one, just wanted to let everyone know that sees this as it's their labor day sale.

@@texasbtc thank you for the great info!!

These have the option to have a Home Base which is extended memory that can be in your home in a secured location to circumvent the problem of a damaged or stolen doorbell. You can keep all the memory safely at home still and home HAVE to pay for storage in a subscription format just to be able to use the features of your doorbell camera. I found that as a negative when you buy a Ring doorbell for all the cool things it can do but you don’t get all those features unless you continue to pay for them.

Eufy does allow for local storage, and if you get a Synology NAS, you can also back that up to a cloud service of some kind (or even another Synology NAS you have stored at a relative's house that you can sync the data between) and there is a Synology app to view your video feed remotely as well. I haven't gotten one yet but I am planning on it may be more steps than what most people want, but the important thing, is that you are in control of your won data. Ring freely gives your video feed to policy agencies when they simply ask, not even under subpoena.

@@cybernoid001 this is a big point! One of the main reasons I like having the storage in the owners control 100%. Plus you aren’t subject to rings fees and service or nothing. With their device you don’t have choices.

I don't know why, but the Eufy _wireless_ doorbells data is stored on a micro SD card in the chime. Also, I think you're correct about the data going to the cloud, then to your phone.

Only the wired doorbell has local storage. Battery model stores on the homebase

I appreciate that!

I appreciate the feed back. I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about the ring and other door bells. I just wanted to describe my experience and what I found. I’ve also upgraded the transformer for the doorbell, which ring did not let me know needed to be done. Could have been why it wasn’t running too well. But the eufy self diagnosed and let me know the power coming into wasn’t good enough and how to upgrade. Wish ring would have done that

It’s nice there’s so many options out there to give people options though. Whatever works for people and their budget.

@@FortKnoxCo I hear you brother, I came off a little strong there and I apologize. Thanks for putting the info out there on the other product and above all, thanks for taking the time to respond to me. Alan

@@alanrobisonPD1960 it’s all good man. I like just getting information out there so people can do their own and have more to hear from. It’s always good to have different sides of stuff to hear from. We can all learn from it all in the end

Yeah I feel ya on that. It’s nice that they are continuing to improve and create more compatibility between devices and other products though. Overall I’m still 100% happy with the Wifey doorbell and how it works

It works now.. free technology takes time.. no fees is worth the wait. Enjoy

@@xGR1MxREAPERx Very much worth the wait! Very impressed with the update

@@xGR1MxREAPERx that’s awesome to hear! And yes free is amazing

Still waiting for RTSP on the 2k doorbell. I have had mine for years and they have promised "coming soon". Do not trust them.

I appreciate the feedback. Always trying to improve.

That’s unfortunate. I’d like to think they are doing what they say and not be doing that. But then again I’m not a tech guru. Not sure how deep all the facts go

@@FortKnoxCo agreed. And honestly I really like the anker chargers and cables I have. I just came across the video recently so I thought it would be something you might want to look into. I’m sure y’all take security at least as serious as many of your viewers. Hope I’m not stearing ya wrong. Enjoyed the video.

As expected a cam made by Chinese company with spying capabilities, watch out for any app like TikTok, WeChat , Zoom…also because you know China.

@@JMacelicious no not at all. I appreciate the information. I like to always research and learn. I’m not loyal to one brand just because. I’m always looking to make a better informed decision

@@mikec9092 sucks that so many things are manufactured over seas

Haha. Very good point indeed. Yeah I think they all have their pros and cons. It’s just whatever works for your situation. I’ve heard the same about supporting systems. Eufy is supposed to be working with other platforms to be supported on other devices in the future. Or have better compatibility than they currently do. For now I still love the Eufy overall.

@@FortKnoxCo Samsung is the only refrigerator with a screen (LG used to make one and I don't really if they stopped doing it, but it was a multiple in price). "Other platforms"??? What exactly do you mean by that? Also, waiting for something which is not even in perspective is not good enough... Like I said, there is always a compromise...

@@A.Dude. I was mainly referring to how Eufy works with apple devices, android etc. I guess it has better access to photos and video on your watch or phone depending on which device platform you have. But Eufy is supposed to be working on that

@@FortKnoxCo Mate, all devices of similar kind on the market work with iOS and Android,; this is not something which would differentiate between brands. Also, why would my security camera access the photos on my phone; makes no sense... Cheers!

@@A.Dude. yes, they work on all devices, but for example, if you have a ring doorbell or some other ones when using your Apple Watch, you can view video or photos from your front doorbell instantaneously on your wrist watch. With the Eufy it doesn’t necessarily work the same way. I believe they’re trying to improve that so that you can have as much function with your Apple Watch. For example because of their integration. It’s not a major difference. It’s just minor stuff like that. Mainly speaking about the doorbell and when you get notifications and what you can view on your watch verses on your phone.

Your very welcome

Thank you for watching. I actually make all my own shirts. I do my own designs and screen printing. So I do it all in house. I just started doing a little bit more again so I have the set up up and running so if you wanna grab any of these shirts that I make their available I just haven’t set up a shop online yet. Usually it’s word of mouth or people just contacted me through my email or social media. I also may be taking on some production jobs with custom design and production of shirts, if you’re interested.

I get what your saying but they do tend to hold their charges longer and the storage you saying will be lost isn’t true, the data is stored in your home , either in the plug in door bell chime or your home base memory. Also if you choose the home base extended storage you will have way more than 90 days of storage. With ring I just never had the quick responses or notifications. I also didn’t like that you had no other choice but to sign up for a subscription. They have the ability to have some local storage in the device if they wanted too. But they force you to pay too dollar for the device and then sign up for a monthly payment on top of that. Luckily there’s many options out there to fit peoples need and budgets.

@@FortKnoxCo i hope this one works good for you. take care

@@ruddyteck so far so good. We have no complaints. But with technology always improving I’m always keeping my eye out for the next improvement

Ring is not 4k.

@@MrBALEful great information!

Yep, I believe the bell inside has the internal storage and if you get a home base with the Eufy systems they store data too obviously. Great options

Hey! You stole my comment!!! 😁🤔 Agree! I have an apartment in another state in which I installed 2 indoor Eufy cameras. They work perfectly and have never been offline. I don't pay for a subscription but can see all the activity (if any). Before those, I have 4 Arlo cameras on the outside and they work fine and store all the videos locally, can see them from anywhere in the world, but the lag between activity, being triggered, and starting recording is so long that I most often get nothing on film. Useless unless the person stays in frame for more than 10 seconds. I wouldn't recommend the Arlo system. So far the Eufy seems the best. I had the Samsung in the past but were so bad I gave them to my elderly mom so I can watch her from across the country should she need help. They are ALWAYS disconnecting and have to be manually restarted. So out of the three, so far Eufy is the winner (for me).

@@spocksvulcanbrain man that’s awesome to hear. It’s cool to hear another success story about eufy. Funny how we all have different experiences with different systems though. I say Whatever works for you needs and budget.

Nice! I was wondering how this Eufy vacuums are. Was thinking about trying one.

I’m not sure of any other system that can utilize the peep hole. You can obviously mount a battery operated doorbell in any location you see fit but not sure about the actual door peep hole set up

That’s always something to consider when making a purchase ! Thank you for mentioning that.

So what? you pay Amazon to sell your info anyways, might as well do it for free 😂

And apples make same for America 😅

Great point! That is another advantage! These systems come with the options to do cloud storage and in home memory banks. But end of the day they give you options to not have to pay subscription fees which is nice. We have a memory block in home so we don’t have to worry about that.

@@FortKnoxCo by memory block, are you referring to their new Homebase 3? I like the no-fees approach and leading-resolution provided by Eufy but I’ve been hesitant to go all-in because of a few things most overlook. I hate that the Homebase 3 still hasn’t integrated with most of the Eufy offerings, some aren’t slated to until around April 2023! None of their wired doorbells are integrating… ever possibly. Also, I think their decision not to integrate with HomeKit is an unfavorable one. Pre-roll is also a huge feature that I wish Eufy would incorporate into their recordings.

@@victorvek5227 I agree. I wish they would further integrate with stuff like that. I enjoyed being able to look at my Apple Watch and see the picture or footage on there. I hope they have those plans in the near future. As far as what we got it for it’s serving it’s purpose. We have a full security system built with the house. This was mainly to have an eye out at our front gate for notifications when someone walks up.

Valid point, though in comparisons to other battery operated doorbells, this has proven to be more challenging to pry off with bare hands. Agree on HB3 compatibility, it makes little sense from a consumers perspective how none of the wired doorbells are compatible with it... I still bought it knowing this though, given the no-subscription model.

@@333KINGPIN33 great info. I really like this one after using a few. It’s been very reliable and that scores big for me.

Nice to hear that! I’ve only tried a few of the big brands but still came to the same conclusion

Your very welcome

I don’t know if I’d go that far but I do understand peoples concern with tech companies and their security and stay sharing policies. I’ve heard Ring isn’t squeaky clean either. Seems to be hard to get something that’s just perfect across the board

That’s unfortunate to hear. Yeah luckily there is a lot of different brands out there. It’s really hard to try to find stuff that is completely 100% made in the US. Or even just having a US owned manufactured company. I wish there was more options to choose from home-based.

You back up photos on iCloud, Google drive etc you're storing your information on these providers servers. We are all at risk of being hacked. Celebrities got their sexy pics and videos they recorded on their iPhones several years ago. If you get too deep you can lose it and get paranoid over everything like that 1985 song "SOMEBODY'S WATCHING ME".

That is for the info. I’m going to have to check them out.

Most all doorbells have a transformer that’s installed which reduces the power down before running out to the device. I have a video showing how this is wired in and if you need to upgrade transformers how to do that. But I’ve never seen one wired in on a 220v outlet. That’s a little overkill. Usually it’s on a standard 110-120V outlet and has a transformer installed.

That sucks you’ve had a bad experience with it. I know the battery option is less preferred because of the hassle of having to pull the batter or unit and recharge and then stick back out there. I had a battery one at first and hated having to do this. The wired version has been perfect though. I installed it , connected it to my WiFi and have never had to mess with it. It’s been connected ever since. It’s also stores a pretty good amount from what I can tell. I can look back a couple months on my events and still see them. I believe with the newer ones you might be able to incorporate the Home Base they use for their camera systems and that has a lot more memory. But for just the doorbell portion the Eufy hasn’t let us down yet. Luckily there’s plenty of options out there for everyone to choose what works best for them.

I have just installed the video doorbell. The dual one and that one works with homebase. I also got the homebase 3 which you can add an HD or SSD up to 16TB in (it has 16GB internally). Plenty of storage options there.

@@skyjack8884 that’s awesome to hear. I had heard the newer versions would be compatible with the home base 3’s. I may need to get one now.

I appreciate the feed back. I make videos on all the stuff I buy or use to just give insight or instructions on installing/problem solving. But was not paid by Eufy to do this. I was making a video about my ring doorbell and then learned about how I’d have to have a subscription or buy more equipment to store my data/alerts n such. I then researched, found eufy and liked that with just the doorbell it had internal storage and the ability to expand, but didn’t have to buy anything else other than the door bell if I didn’t want to. I was mainly focusing on using the door bell as a stand alone and having the ability to access all the creatures these door bell talk about. With ring I lost most those great features after the trail unless I wanted to pay for something in addition. With the Eufy i was able to install and have full access to the features as advertised and didn’t have to pay for them down the road. I also had a lot of connection issues with my ring doorbell. Not saying this is a problem for everyone but something I experienced. With the Eufy I’ve had a way better experience with opening the app and I’m the video feed popping right up. The ring lagged or didn’t connect. And when it did half the time it would notify me that it was doing a software update and would be back online shortly. Super annoying. But again I appreciate the feedback. Never intentionally hiding any info from people. I may be pumping up what I’m doing or expanding more on what I have in my hand vs the other options, but that’s only because it’s what I may have more experience with or actually have experience using. I usually just make videos about stuff I find or have used. There’s plenty of other options out there. Im not testing and doing break downs on all systems like a tech channel, just trying to help people with getting more info out there.

David…. Have a Snickers! You’re not quite yourself when you’re hangry!

@@beri232 Snickers are delicious.

Totally agree brother, my RING works flawlessly, got is the first RU-vid er’ that I’ve argued with and things didn’t match up to what he was claiming.

@@alanrobisonPD1960 a lot of people really like the Ring and have had great experiences. It just wasn’t mine unfortunately. I think maybe if ring had some type of self diagnosing feature and would have told me earlier that I needed to upgrade my transformer to a bigger power source I could have avoided the ring not working so well. But either way I like that there’s all these different options. Lots of video out there explaining things.

I appreciate it. The Eufy does have the battery option and we used that one at first but I opted for the hard wire version later on. I don’t like having to recharge, especially if it requires it often and you’re getting a lot of notifications. But it’s nice these different brands usually have both options.

We have had zero problems with our Eufy doorbell. I’m able to turn off notifications when I know that there is someone working in the street out front and I’ve had no problem with the notifications while they’re on to quickly be able to respond and even talk to people while they’re at our front gate. Nothing but good things to say about it so far.

That’s very unfortunate. I’ve never heard of one of their doorbells just dying for no reason after a week. There wasn’t any type of power surge or something that could have caused damage? I can see that if the purchase date was a year ago and they couldn’t warranty it after that, your circumstances are unique but on their end I could see how the date of purchase may be the only thing they could go off of. It’s good you found the Wyze doorbell. I’ve heard good things about them as well.

Well if your outside the return window then the next thing is to list it for sale. There’s lots of people who don’t want to pay full price and don’t mind buying a “used” doorbell at a small discount. Anything I ever replace or upgrade I try to sell. There’s almost always someone wanting a new doorbell or needing a replacement. If the one you just installed is still able to be returned then I’d go that route obviously in that case.

Thank you for your reply. The doorbells are outside the return limit and works great. I’m just disappointed in the video lag and subscription costs. Will do some research for resale value. Thanks again.

@@lhf7279 no problem at all. Yeah we luckily were able to return ours and I found the Eufy to replace it. But I’ve seen people selling theirs. Hopefully you can recoup some on the money

Yea we really like the no subscription part of the whole thing. I think all the different doorbells have their pros and cons. But the subscription requirements of some I don’t like

Awesome thank you! Yes they have a battery operated and wired in model. There should be links for both in my description to see them on Amazon so you can compare. The video and notification timing is spot on. We haven’t had any problems with the video recording and the notifications coming through while they are still there as well. I walk past it when I’m my front yard and my watch starts vibrating with a notification before I’m done passing usually. We have no complaints with this Eufy doorbell

That really was the biggest selling point for me. Plus I’ve had better experiences with how the doorbell actually works and it’s responsiveness.

It will send them to you where ever you are. At the store, at work or out of town. You’ll but notified

I believe if you wanted two doorbells you can do this. Either wired or battery, doesn’t matter, I think you’d just have the Eufy app and have both devices connected to your account. So you could view the video from either of your choice when you want. It’s similar to adding home cameras around the exterior. You could view it all through your Eufy App

@@FortKnoxCo Thanks for responding

@@buddyquest4575 no problem at all

I’m 100% with you. Same experience and I still love the Eufy system

I feel like most of the main brands you find now have very good quality. Most shooting in 4K now which is way beyond what you probably red in a camera system. But as long as you have the storage available then I say why not go big. As far as a specific brand I don’t really have one. I know Eufy is coming out with their “professional” camera system for 24 hour coverage cameras. I’m going to be trying those when they come out.

@@FortKnoxCo what is your take on the light bulb security cameras. So you say to look for 4G output? There are solar cameras wifi & disk capabilities. I’m on a strict budget. Going big is not possible for me.

@@mnp870 the light build security cameras can be a great option if you don’t have the power source available on the exterior of your home but do have exterior lights. This usually allows your to just connect to your WiFi and not have to run any additional cables through your roof. 4K video quality is usually a plus but something with 2K video quality is still very good. Like you said, your budget really will determine what’s best for your situation, but there are many good options out there.

If you are in a condo I don’t think they will allow you to run wires to your cameras, and in this case you’d most likely need a WiFi system set up for all the cameras to communicate with the hub. Eufy products in my opinion are great. So I would recommend them. But your situation is unique. So you may. We’d to look at what your options are with WiFi wireless cameras, wired cameras, etc.

It says it works with homebase. Some of the doorbells come with a homebase. I’ve read that the homebase a 3c doesn’t work with it. Unsure is the 2c does or does not.

I’m not sure what wiring would be required to trigger your home doorbell but I’m sure it’s possible. Most of these new video doorbells use a wireless plug in chime that can go anytime the home. But as far as using your wired doorbel I’m not completely familiar with that.

@@FortKnoxCo Thanks for the reply!

@@geoffschulz no problem at all

I think that was the issue or at least part of it. I’ve heard some other people having similar issues. Could be the WiFi strength too but with the eufy I have the same internet connections and it’s been flawless. I really like that the Eufy doorbell self diagnosed, told be verbatim what the issues was, the part I needed and instructions on how to upgrade it. The Ring doorbell never alerted be nor told me how fix it. They should add something like that, it would be super helpful.

I’m not sure if it syncs with Amazon products since it’s not one that they make. It has its own app and you can control and sync other Eufy products/caneras. But not sure how it works with another brands home hub.

@@FortKnoxCo - Thanks for the reply. I will try to do some research on the syncing capabilities and if I find anything one way or the other I'll get back to you here.

@@jiml5274 awesome. Sounds good

It doesn’t have the ability to plug in. It also Runs off a lower power source than a standard plug. Doorbells have a transformer that reduces the power to a 30v type of power supply before it runs to the doorbell. So I have a video showing this installation of a doorbell transformer from a regular outlet power source to the transformer to the doorbell wires. But they have the battery powered doorbells. They can be mounted and used pretty much anywhere. You just have to charge the battery every once in a while.

I would get the video door bell that is the combo with the plug in chime. The chime is super helpful and nice that you can plug it in anywhere. Plus it has internal memory, so the indoor plug in chime technically is your storage of data/video, protected inside your home incase something ever happens to the outdoor doorbell itself. Some of the newer chimes or larger combo packs have the option to add your own memory card in increase its storage too.

Yep. If you open the app for the doorbell on your phone it allows you to connect to the doorbell and vide it Live whenever you want.

@@FortKnoxCo awesome ty!

@@genahebert4 no problem at all

In the video I’m installing the wired version, it connects to your existing doorbell on your home. Assuming your home has a wired doorbell, you’d remove your push button door bell and there should be two wires connected to the back. You take those two wires which have a low voltage current and connect them to you wired door bell. With the battery operated doorbell you don’t need any wires to connect to. You just mount the doorbell where you want it and it connects to your homes WiFi.

Such does have the app that will notify you of motion and then if someone rings the door bell. I have mine set to just silent/vibration. It actually vibrates my Apple Watch and notifies me. So I can see the image from my watch and then answer on my phone. I believe you can turn the ringer on to actually make a noise too. But I like the vibration only for the same reasons you described. As far as memory stored inside your home they have a couple options. It’s either stored on the plug in chime in your home or in their homebase station that people use for their Eufy camera systems. Either way your videos are safe inside your home.

It’s truly wireless. You either have battery powered and you can mount wherever you want. Or wired in location you have power supply

I believe their website says it has a 160 degree view. But they do come with angled bases to help turn the doorbell to achieve a better angle as well. Also if you use the battery powered model you could mount it anywhere you want. Could even mount it on the door itself to look directly at people. Just an option.

I know it can stand rain, obviously it’s an Outdoor electronic. But not sure on the rating for how severe or rain. Or like if it has a submerged in water ability.

Don’t bother with Eufy if it’s even damp it will leak through the camera lens. Mine did after a few months being outside. They are crap on warranty as well. My advice look elsewhere 👍

@@deanstockham6827 I’ve had my wired Eufy for about 6 months now and had moderate storms on and off and haven’t seen this issue. I’d imagine if there was a manufacturer defect that allowed water in to damage they’d cover or replace. Amazon has a really good return policy

Either did I. Until I went to go view my videos and previous events on the camera and I had to pay for the service to view my videos. I was disappointed

There should be a way to download and save you events. They are usually stored in your chime or your the home base. And in the app there’s options to save /download your events.

Yes it should come with instructions on how to do that. It basically bypasses the chime to create a through connection. I didn’t initially install the jump cable when I first installed this chime. I later did go back and install that before upgrading my doorbell transformer.
