This is one of the most comprehensive reviews I've ever seen. Well done sir

@stainrich3287 2 года назад

Man, your channel deserves more than 1M subscribers! I’ve been following your reviews for the past year and watched almost all your videos. As a new home owner, I watched and learned looking on your reviews (esp Eufy products) before purchasing security/sensor cam for my new house. I even share and send all the link to your videos to some of my friends and colleagues who are looking for gadgets and cameras. Keep up the good work man and all the best to your channel.

@bigshel99 2 года назад

Newer to your channel. Appreciate the style of your reviews, shows the products in much more real life function and avoids a lot of language that sounds like canned marketing material. This product is intriguing but I think I was hoping more for functionality that made it the wired version of the battery one. things like the storage only on the doorbell and not working with existing chime are making me lean towards waiting for the Unifi G4 pro doorbell.

@shanew7361 2 года назад

I agree, not for me either.

@woofinu Год назад

Great review. Does the dual-camera wired system have any drawback compared to single-camera wired?

@repomannv 2 года назад

I have one of these and I'm happy with it; I will say there is one tricky gotcha with the posts you mount the power wires to, you have to be REALLY careful wrapping the wire around the screw you torque down, there is only a very small conductive surface ring to connect to.. so, you can have the wires connected perfectly fine, posts tightened down, and no power to the unit. It's really hard to figure out this is the problem. Wrap your wire tightly around the post and tighten it down really tight, that helps.

@shuumai Год назад

Also wrap the wire clockwise.

@zahor0269 Год назад

This is great, thanks for video with all this information. Do you think that Eufy will be able to fix the 2 way audio and audio volume issues soon?

Are the positions of the screw holes in the mounting bracket the same as the ones in the regular 2k wired doorbell? I already have a 2k wired doorbell and want to know if I can install this dual doorbell without having to drill new holes.

@carll2222 2 года назад

Been waiting for this video. If you already have a Eufy Camera system installed, such as the Eufycam 2C which uses a Homebase2 hub, can this doorbell cam be set up to save to the memory card in the Homebase2 hub?

@LifeHackster 2 года назад

This camera will not work with the hub and it can connect only to the chime for now... I'm not sure though if Eufy is planning to integrate this with their homebase.

@RedBeard10118 Год назад

@ThePiscui Год назад

Great review, thank you. Loving it so far, save for a couple of drawbacks (#2 may be a deal breaker for many): 1. As others have mentioned my installed transformer wasn't powerful enough. I thought since it worked with my Ring it should work with this one too - wrong (Ring has a much wider range of voltage, but also a battery). I ended up replacing the transformer with a plug-in one. 2. Cloud storage is NOT supported for this device, contrary to what this review says. They'll let you buy it in the app but once you go to select which device to apply it to this doorbell did not show up. Confirmed with Eufy support (getting a refund is a bit of a hassle too). So if you're concerned about it only recording locally, you'll need a backup camera that can record externally.

@darkpassenger65 Год назад

I'm trying to learn how these devices work. Is there a reason why the homebase (memory storage) would not be offered with the wired version of the doorbell?

I haven't tested the logitech circle but if you are going to go with Homekit, this doorbell is not compatible and I'm not sure if it will.

Hi fantastic video again they don’t sell the eufy video doorbell wired version yet in the UK 🇬🇧 yet on Amazon UK I am disappointed about that I can order it on Amazon US they will deliver to the UK It will cost me £30 more I did ring Eufy customer service about it they didn’t no when it would be sold in the UK 🇬🇧 going to upgrade from my nest V1 video doorbell to the Eufy never had any problems with the eufy product yet keep up the good work bravo 👏

@happytrails1963 Год назад

@RickFarris 2 года назад

Are the upgrades due to software upgrades, or does this have upgraded hardware over the last Eufy (wireless) you reviewed? (IOW do I have to watch for hardware version if I buy one, or can I get the new notification upgrades in software?)

@LifeHackster 2 года назад

This wired and battery versions are different hardware wise..especially on their motion detection...and wired are more reliable and dependable than battery and this applies to all brands. Even if you hardwire the battery, it will still function as a battery doorbell. Eufy is still working on updating the notification delay on the battery version. I will do a comparison video between these doorbells in the near future.

@tobyabraham6206 23 дня назад

Hi. great review, thank you! I had question, you said it will NOT ring the existing bell in the house. If the wires connect, why would it not?

@LifeHackster 23 дня назад

It doesn’t have a chime power kit like other video doorbells. You have to use the jumper wire to reliably power the doorbell which means it will not chime your existing chime box.

@jdsnapp 5 месяцев назад

@xander-mk4ck 2 года назад

nice video , was wondering LF what has your experience been with Eufy ? i’m planning on making the switch from Wyze , their AI is terrible and just a bunch of bugs and unreliable cameras. how has your experience been with eufy ? how do you enjoy their cameras , app , etc . thanks

@LifeHackster 2 года назад

I'll rate them second to Ring and first for no-subscription option. My main complaint on the Eufy is their app... there is no integration between their non-homebase devices to their wired devices..they are all over the place. Performance though, they are pretty good.

@lenidaky 8 месяцев назад

@beigefox6579 Год назад

Question. Can you remove the shutter camera sound. I just bought the battery version and havent installed it yet because I live in an apartment building with 3 other doors facing my door, and the shutter/click sound is loud enough and I don't want to be the creepy neighbor sounding like I'm taking pictures when people walk past my door.

Is the new Wired Dual Cam doorbell the same size as the 2k Wired doorbell? Same mounting screw placement? I use an aftermarket 5 degree down wedge and am curious if I'll need a new wedge. If the Wire Dual Cam is the same size as the 2K Wired, I should be okay.

@LifeHackster 2 года назад

The Dual Cam size wise is longer but their screw placement is the same. Technically, your wedge will work but I'm not sure how it will look.

@dungnguye9511 2 года назад

Do you know how much memory there is? Is it only 4 gb like the battery one? I think Best Buy had a version of the older Eufy with 32 gb that allows up to 5 days of continuous recording. I wish they make some aftermarket things that could put some screws in the camera so it won't be stolen so easily.

@xemphim6412 2 года назад

Only 8Gb internal. But with software it will be 7.1gb. sucks that they don't allow us to add SDcard or nas or usn stick to the hub or your network

@JohnJWithington Месяц назад

Love your videos... But WHY THERE'S NO AUDIO ON YOUR PHONE WHEN DOORBELL IS PRESSED??????

@mr.emsrubin830 Год назад

Hey sir.. the Eufy Dual Cam Doorbell Wired doesn't offer 24/7 recording even if you subscribe to their cloud plan. I mean, it will say it is not supported for a 24/7 cont recording after I subscribed to thier plan.. just pointing it out. I hope they'll offer this on future updates. The single cam 2k pro eufy doorbell is the only eufy that offers 24/7 recording but I like having that dual cam for the extra vision on your packages.

@TenzLekden 2 года назад

The 1080p package facing camera fails when it comes to sunny day with shades.

@c.patricksadowski9959 День назад

So I watched the video on the wired, and wired with batteries and still have a question. You said Eufy "fixed" the issue related to the battery version. Does that mean, that if you connect the battery version, to a wired connected, it will record even when the power goes out? The biggest drawback I see to the wired only (no batteries) is that if the power goes out, in your home, you lose the ability to record. Is that the case or am I missing something? Also. did Eufy update the firmware to make the battery and wired version "better"? Thanks

Great review as always. I had read anecdotes from owners of other Eufy video doorbells on message boards about the units overheating, even when not in direct sunlight. This seemed to be an issue specific to Eufy as I've never seen it occur in the various Amcrest, Arlo, and Ring doorbells that I've had over the years. Anyone using this dual camera doorbell in direct sunlight without any problems or have experienced this overheating issue?

@LifeHackster Год назад

I'm not sure about the brand of sensor that they are using but as to WDR or HDR, I really don't see it ..as you can see in the sample footage, the sky in the background is still washed out. As to color night vision, I have to turn OFF the auto night vision but you need to have some lighting in your front porch to have a good quality footage.

@@LifeHackster thanks for reply..... Just thinking if it has LEDs it should show the colour image ...... I remember in the first ever doorbells it was just HDR then they upgraded to a Sony and WDR came along I remember in previous video you showed a cart with all details on different doorbells and it showed this information
