eufy E340 2K DualCam Doorbell review versus S330 doorbell 

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks ❤️

Yes I would go E340 still - I think the biggest advantage is being able to swap the battery in a matter of seconds rather than have to charge the whole Doorbell for hours

i am hard wired, going to upgrade from single to dual camera. e340 still the best way to go? thanks

@JackKinniburghDickie E340 can be hard wired or battery on the same model and yes I'd go for that one

Alexas make excellent chimes of you have those. And its a good idea to see how you get on without homebase first

Also here's a top 5 tips for eufy Doorbell ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KyEB09gzd5s.htmlsi=5tgf1guVeOd1tozl

I'm not sure - I would recommend you ask this on our Facebook group eufy Security Camera Owners

Hi, not sure if you managed to get an answer but I am using ring adaptor and e340 doorbell and can confirm it works perfect

@@pyn888 brilliant!

Yep kudos to eufy

I have not noticed much difference with each doorbell detecting 3-4 meters away; however this may differ depending on your doorstep/porch set up

I actually use the E340 now not the S330 and haven't noticed much difference in detection; however this could be more evident depending on your own doorstep set up (direction of human traffic etc) - my E340 still detects people a good distance away as shown here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KHZOWMnuBpU.htmlsi=LVMxHkf4UWMZox6D

Having said all that, both are a really good upgrade

@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 to be honest, I'm more interested in pet detect, than humans, my current 2k door bell detects pets during the day but struggles at night, also, it doesnt detect me at all coming up the shared path, until I get to the front door, but strangly it does detect my niebour,. Another strange occurrence is when my doorbell detects a human, my 350 camera doesn't record anything. It's like they talk to each other, but I don't have a connected home base ??

@@user-dx9uh3de3m pretty much all eufy cams prefer motion going across than towards

@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 Yes, but my point is that my doorbell detects my niebour as soon as he enters the top of the path, but never detects me at all, until I get to the door , and as I said I don't have the homebase, so it can't be using face detection.

Without a dedicated chime the doorbell uses the homebase as a chime which is just loud enough to hear from 1 - 2 rooms away. However using echo devices throughout the house is much better and they ring instantly

Good point

2.4 has better reach so in some cases the best option. However both would be good.

@@tajjson Yes better reach but poor performance. For mesh networks this becomes a thing of the past. My whole home is covered with 4 asus nodes via ethernet for the backhaul which the 5ghz signal is pretty much solid all around

@@TD-uh3wi I also have a mesh network. But that’s still quite rare. A lot of users have very low knowledge about WiFi and not everyone has 5ghz routers. So I do not agree that the 2.4 is obsolete yet.

@@tajjson agree. Most people are even connecting their ISP routers not knowing the disadvantages of not setting a proper home network and complaining of slowness. For eufy they should offer both frequencies. That's why I chose the ring doorbell that offers both. I tested both and the differences are noticeable. 2.4 just has too many devices and is really impacted by interference.

Alexa integration is decent and can be used as chimes or to view cameras live Integrations also work well for me. See my top tips videos which includes both of the above

@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 I ideally want it for remote and auto alarm set up so that if motion is detected outside, by the Eufy and / or other cameras, then a alarm will sound for about 1 min if no one is at home

@SanjayChadha this an be achieved with automations where either the homebsse or another camera can be the alarm

@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 thank you for getting back to me

I believe only wired versions will do a pre- roll record. The E340 model can be both wired or battery

Is see the model i own for more than a year in the netherlands E330 also has the power connector at the back. But for me it is not really clear from your video if i make it wired will it become a 3s preroll recorded? Or is this only happening with the basestation3?

Im not 100% sure - I'd recommend you ask this question on our Facebook group m.facebook.com/groups/261100604571331/?ref=share

Aren’t there custom zones you can setup to avoid getting traffic alerts?

@rob1261a yes there are those too - you can set activity zones where you want notifying of motion

Correct it does - but you have to take the whole doorbell off the wall the charge the S330. The E340 has a detachable battery and therefore can be left on the wall if you have 2nd battery

Thank you for your video and your prompt reply. It's disappointing to hear that charging is not possible with the 330. I ordered it a few hours earlier before watching your video, because I really wanted the newer Homebase version. However, I didn't realize that you can't charge it via the doorbell wiring.

@@mizenkah there are 2 models of the S330 doorbell - one battery model which you have to remove the doorbell to charge and the other model is wired to current doorbell wiring. The E340 is one model which is both wired or battery. Both S330 and E340 are compatible with homebase 3

@@mizenkah eufy say about the S330 doorbell- Can the battery doorbell work as a wired doorbell when it's hardwired? No, the battery doorbell cannot work as a wired doorbell. If you have existing doorbell wires and prefer to hardwire the doorbell, you are welcome to purchase the wired version.

​​@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 For the S330 battery powered version, if you connect the existing doorbell wires to it, that will pretty much keep topping of the battery. So its best to charge the S330 to about 90 percent before installing it, the the existing wires would keep topping it off which would eliminate the need to maually charge it. I had that doorbell for about 2 years and never manaully charged it again after the initial charge to 90 percent, after connecting the wires!

Homebase gives you more storage and face recognition. Doorbell and all solocams can work without a homebase

I'm not 100% sure as mine is not wired - I'd recommend you ask this on our Facebook group m.facebook.com/groups/261100604571331/?ref=share

Pre-roll is a feature of the E340 (look closely & it says on the box). There will be a firmware to enable it this month (December 2023).

​@BionicRasta I can confirm that it surely does, but 4 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

​@BionicRasta is the pre roll only available if hard wired or will it work off battery also? Is the E340 worth it for the extra battery? I've heard the S330 has better mic/speaker and motion detection due to the radar?

@@samh8560 I returned it before the Dec 2023 update to enable pre-roll to know for certain, but upon searching reports are that you do need to hardwire it to enable that feature. I haven't seen anyone review test how well it works tho. The extra battery is definitely one of its strengths over the non removable units as you can just swap it out to charge it & keep the doorbell in use. That's just aswell since the LED lights will drain it much faster if they're used often. Yes from experience the S330 doorbell has better mic pick up than what i experienced with the S340 which sounded muffled due too much background noise suppression. But whether that has since improved with updates i don't know.

Light comes on if dark and you press live view There is no option to activate manually m.facebook.com/groups/261100604571331/?ref=share

It could potentially be forced off - some owners have used a metal strap screwed over the doorbell to make it more difficult. Amazon sell metal cases which the doorbell would sit inside which would give more protection against theft

thank you for the quick reply - is there a special screw like ring doorbell that holds it in place or does it just click into the wall holder thanks again @@eufysecuritycameraowners4795

Both s330 & e340 are HB3 compatible

Found out only the Battery S330 is compatible the Wired S330 is not compatible,naming 2 different camera the same is dirty tactic.

@@schless5886 eufy have a whole range of cameras called S330 *** support.eufy.com/s/article/Centralize-Your-Security-Ecosystem-with-HomeBase-3

I guess it's the old 'no part is the best part' theory - less moving parts means less to fail

Hard to say at the moment as the E340 has only been up a month and not fully discharged yet (its about 75%) - I used to get 2-3 months out of the S330. As for recharging, the E340 is easier due to the removable battery. Having a 2nd battery to replace means no down time unlike the S330

​@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 So you get about 3 months battery life on E340? Is that with the leds on top and bottom on at night ? And how many detections on average per day? What do you think about the sharpness in daylight and when its dark. Looks like the older S330 model has better video quality, looks more sharp and bright.

Yep understood - the E340 is in my RIGHT hand (left side of screen as you look at TV) 👈

Yes, very confusing.

Which model?

Agreed - it's an old video which needs redoing!

eufy's adverts say 'up to' 6 months Battery life depends on activity/temperature - why not join out Facebook group eufy Security camera owners and ask other members for tips

I heard the battery could also last longer if motion detector is disabled

@@spektred this is true - if you use the doorbell just to record on button press, you could potentially get over 6 months (temperature dependant)
