This is the second home in which ru-vid.comUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).

@ebglock 2 года назад

I installed the doorbell and was so pleased that I installed two outside cameras with solar panel. My house had a doorbell so hot wired. Best feature is being able to check while I am in another state with no fees.

@TechOdyssey 2 года назад

Very cool! Glad it’s working for you.

@jbf2858 2 года назад

Nice review with some helpful tips. I do wish it had a removable battery like Arlo in case the battery starts to wear out so you can just replace the battery and not the entire unit.

@TechOdyssey 2 года назад

Yeah. I wish it did too

@spazza71 8 месяцев назад

Great review and information. I have 2 Eufy cameras so it made sense for me to get this add on 2k doorbell. My experience with batter life (for my cameras) is slightly different. I'm getting 12 months out of the front camera and up to 16 months from the back camera. They are around 2 years old. I haven't installed my Eufy 2k Doorbell so I'm interested to see how the battery lasts.

@Ionikr 2 года назад

This was spot on , exactly what I wanted to hear !

@TechOdyssey 2 года назад

@shariece 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I'm currently on my 2nd ring doorbell in 2 1/2 years and it's already needing to be recharged weekly and doesn't even charge to 100% anymore so I'm thinking it's time to move on. I have the eufy smart lock so I figured pairing it with this might be good. Just can't decide if the 2k doorbell ($139) is worth the extra money over the 1080p ($85)

@jpmcnown1 Год назад

Bestbuy appears to have an exclusive Eufy 2k wired doorbell that records continuous video locally to 32gb onboard. It includes a chime, and gives you about 5 days, zero worries about delayed triggers, no subscription, no remote homebase needed. Model E82021F2 (Fellow Slickdeal'r since Aug 03')

@ScottWallace5 2 года назад

Good updates! I've also had one for about a year, but eventually decided to switch to a Wyze Doorbell due to the fact that it simply does terrible at night and doesn't notify you when someone appears and also the AI thinks a plant or a chair needs us notified at times.

@anthonyelizalde7676 Год назад

Unless you pay for the wyze, it'll detect motion in the trees and notify you every 5min with nothing in view.

It’s nice to have lengthy review but it’s also important to see how it looks on the door just a suggestion.

@SurfnPics 2 года назад

Thanks for the informative review. When the doorbell is pressed do you get a distinctive "ding-dong" sound on your mobile (iPhone) or just a standard notification? I have the current model doorbell and I only get a standard notification and so miss pretty much every bell press. My mate has a Ring doorbell and when its pressed he gets a clear and distinctive "ding-dong" on his phone. Albeit he pays a subscription it appears the better system?

@caseyh8386 Год назад

You can change that in the app. I changed mine to an annoying sound so I wouldn't miss it.

@maryking6851 10 месяцев назад

I find it lags and sometimes doesn’t pick up people walking up to door. Door bell battery lasts 3 weeks and we don’t have busy footfall at all. Sound and video is very good

@rolac6109 2 года назад

I have the wired one and now with the updates the company is pushing so people buys storage. All my door bell storages now is 5 videos of 19 seconds each . When it used to save about a whole day with 3 minutes max. I bought mine about 2 1/2 years ago and it’s been an ok but not so great experience ( video quality ,delay picking up sensor or responding to door ) I have a good wifi signal too.

@jtm3824 2 года назад

It's recorded on the device you can view it on the app/download it. Space is 16gb but depends on model

@charlesforte6473 Год назад

Yes, it does record on the app, if you use an SD card. The card goes on the Inside ringer unit, so if someone takes your doorbell, at least they won't get your recordings ! Also, No Fees ! I use a 64 gb card, but I believe it can take a 128gb as well. Video settings allow several options, I leave mine on auto, with the night led and like it better than arlo or hikam. The alarm audio is about a 2 second delay, but it definately alerts you if you want. Only had it a few days, but very pleased with this unit so far.

What tablet works best with the app? I would rather NOT use the app on my personal cell phone when I need to use Eufy for work-related reasons. Any recommendations would be helpful. I just want to use a tablet that does not require adding and paying for an additional line that will increase my cell phone bill. I just want to purchase a tablet that I can connect to my employers wifi just to use the Eufy app when I need to monitor the front entrance of my job and/or see who is at the front entrance before I let anyone in the front door.

Where can you buy extra battery for eufy s340 dual cam doorbell?

@ImportedFromSerbia 3 месяца назад

Our Eufy doorbell 2K wired worked for 11 months spotlessly, and then from nowhere doorbell goes offline daily! Router, modem are the same, then cam goes online by itself. After couple hrs it goes offline, and on and on. Finally, it is permamently offline, Power reset, doorbell reset, didn't help to bring cam online. Now cam doesn't connect to internet at all. Eufy engineers keep saying router cause the problem because router is dual bend 2.4 and 5.0. I say, the doorbell is connected to 2.4 GHz bend only, and everything worked fine for 11 months. Indoor cam also is offline! I have figured out, crossed finger, indoor cam is back online after I have pulled micro card out! Indoor cam worked for 2 months spotlessly before problem started.

@DavidEarle786 17 дней назад

I know this video is two years old, but I'm thinking about buying this. I tried an Oasu, and I wasn't happy about the WiFi signal percentage, as I am on the second floor of the house, and I could only get 42-46% of WiFi signal, which created a delay in the time between when someone pushes the button, and the time the chime rang. I even tried a WiFi extender, and still only got 42-46% of signal. So, my question is how good is the signal detection? Does the app tell you that information?

@timlist4173 Год назад

@craiglieson3981 Год назад

I doubt if anyone would get 60 days with this, regardless of how not-so-busy the traffic surrounding it might be, talk more of 180 days. I have one (got it 2021) and from day 1, it takes long to load to the interface to see the person pressing the bell and by the time it finally shows, the person has gone into their car. This is my experience with it. My internet bandwidth isn't the issue, neither is the homebase far from the router. It's the app. You can hardly use it to quickly respond to any doorbell press. It's a miss. The battery only last average of 27 days now. Meanwhile, my doorbell is not facing a busy road but just a wall. To tell you how not so busy my place is, it may not record anything more than 2 times in a day due to the fact that no one comes around that place and it's not facing a busy road. It also wouldn't sense people sometimes even when you're closer. I am considering changing it to another brand with good AI and battery.
