Eufy Video Doorbell Dual in depth Review 

Hardwired lets it ring your Chime Box?

I try.

That is my own undoing. When you start to listen to audio books at 2x the speed to get through more of them you can't come back from that. When I talk at a normal pace it feels so slow.

Hey, thanks a bunch for the awesome feedback! I'm thrilled to hear that my review was able to provide you with the detailed information you were looking for.

Happy to help.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews so I just picked mine up and can’t switch it from Ethernet to wifi. I’m trying to connect it to the 2.4hz connection in my Orbi but it fails everytime. Any suggestions?

@@aaronprakash I know this is a simple ask, but, is the frimware on the Homebase up to date? Do you know what version number it is running?

Not sure why. Maybe they figure more people will go for the battery over the wired. Still odd.

Hapy to help.

Happy to help.

Thanks, I know these in-depth videos are not for everyone. I just need to remember that.

Always good to hear feedback from other users.

Have you get it to connect to wifi

@@jayuytyyosmith Have to setup the base station first.

I have the wire eufy daul doorbell camera and it's saying failure to connect

@@jayuytyyosmith Try moving the location of the base station. Something might be getting in the way.

Yes the base station acts as the chime for this doorbell.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews thanks heaps! I will purchasing this set up now 👍

Yes, it does seem like oversight on their part.

Thanks, at this time only a eufy home base can be used as a chime.

This works only with the home base that comes with it. It by passes that use of the chime box you might have in your home.

If the clicking sound is what I am thinking of it has to do with the camera sensors and waking up. I have tested two of these cameras and they both made that sound.

You do need to bring the doorbell inside to charge it. It can be done by plugging it into the home base.

Not sure I understand your question. However, if you have the old version of the battery doorbell the mounting plate for that one will not work with this new doorbell.

You would first have to download the clip to the app then send those files to the computer. Or if you got this with the home base 3 you could use the off load option there to put the clips on a flash drive.

The biggest is that it can be placed anywhere. Other then that they are pretty much the same. The wired version will have slightly faster notices.

Do you have it set to send a image thumbnail with the notification? That can slow down the push notification.

Depends on the transformer you have. I am not an electrician so I am not going to say that I know for sure.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews K

Not at this time. I think part of that is there are no IR lights for the bottom camera so it needs the lights to see.

That is the issue with any smart doorbell. The answer is nothing, you can only slow someone down.

I am not a 100% sure if it would work. Do you have a link to the mesh system you are using? Even if the system is from eufy I do not think it would work as these devices communicate directly with the Home base.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews hmm, thanks for your advice.

Yes eufy have several cameras that can all feed to the home base 2.

In my opinion this is the best option put there that I have tested.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews I decided to buy both to trial as undecided. They both have their strengths & weaknesses with much room for improvement. My conclusions its a draw. >The Eufy Dual battery has a higher resolution therefore more detail & a sharper image over the Nest Battery but its video can buffer more, it's motion not as smooth as the Nest with a slightly longer delay. >The Eufy has a wider 160 degree field of view but this comes with more of a fish eye effect. Annoyingly there is no distortion correction feature in the app for the Dual Battery, unlike in the wired 2K. >The aperture isnt as good as the Nest battery. It will blow out bright sunny backgrounds even with HDR on. >When the night setting is off (as i have a porch light so prefer colour over B&W). I get a much darker image than the Nest which looks like twilight just by the light coming from the street lighting. >The motion detection of the Eufy isn't as good as the Nest with a slower start up response, even with 'All Motion' set & not just 'Humans'. You can hear a click when activated. It starts recording people events at 4 metres from my door, where the Nest picks up neighbours 6 metres away (we share a garden path). It's sketchy AI filters them out as false events. >No chime provided with the Nest where the included Homebase acts as a chime. However the Nest will auto bring up video within 5 seconds on the Echo Show when the doorbell is pressed. Where the Eufy Dual will take 20+ seconds. >The big draw for the Eufy is 16gb of local storage where the Nest only keeps the last 3 hours of events accessible before auto deleted. >The battery on the Eufy Dual lasts slightly longer than on the Nest where at 75% im notified to charge it with an estimated 5 days left of recording. >The audio speaker is slightly better on the Nest doorbell to talk thru however its chime can barely be heard when the ring is pressed? >The Eufy app has included more premium features for free where the Nest is pretty basic. However the Home app is more streamlined to use, including the video player. It's a pity Google ditched the Nest app which is said to be better. The Eufy app is more prone to glitches where both apps are designed for the vertical orientated screen of a phone, but i also have a tablet. In the Eufy app I find that when changing the orientation of the screen to view a live feed on my tablet or switching between pic in pic & split view. It can cause the video to buffer & crash. The other negative is Eufy is now aggressively pushing its products with pop ups when using the app. It interferes with the overall experience. > I find the understated aesthetics of the Nest battery more pleasing to the eye. It comes in different colours. As i have a white UPVC door frame to attach it too the black obelisk of the Eufy looks less attractive.

@@BionicRasta Thanks for the detailed compairson between the two. The more data that is out there the better. I am not trying to push any one product over another to anyone. I just go over my testing and opinions to try and help others make up their own minds. What works for me might not work for everyone, so thanks for sharing.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews You might be interested in Eufy's security flaw where data can be wiped ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6TlQcg-_zoQ.html

@@BionicRasta Yes, this is something that was brought to my attention before. It is a shame but, I also like to think that if someone is going to take your doorbell down they would not know enough to press and hold the sycn button to remove the recordings from the home base.

If you are asking if it will work with the Home base 3, yes this doorbell now works with it.

I have never heard of this Brand. I would have to look into it a little more before I could give an actual opinion on it.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews can you check it? Aosu V8s.... It has some videos on RU-vid as well.. I bought it because the 2k camera and 5mpz .. It has a 8gb video integrate memorie in it's chime, no sandisk, videos can be downloaded or share from your phone. I bought it days ago, but I came across of your doorbell video and I wonder if I return the Aosu V8s to buy the LINDO doorbell... What do you think about it? Which one do you think is best? They're selling the Aosu V8s in Amazon for $119..

@@josebenedico7379 I will see what I can do.

It will be compatible in the future just not right out of the box.

Once you open the app in the lower left there is an icon that looks like a camera. Click that and you will record the live feed from the doorbell.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you.

I know this was one for the first "older" cameras that was going to be made compatible with the Home Base 3.

That is correct. If you can wait I am sure there will be sales soon.

There is a plate with a pressure locking tab to keep it on your door. But just like a regular doorbell someone that wants to pull it down can with a little effort and time.

That is upsetting to hear. I was just getting ready to put this back up as I was done testing other doorbell. I thought for sure that this would have been compatible with the Home Base 3 by now.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews So was I! Pretty disappointed that's for sure!

That would be too far. The max range is 40feet max. If you are looking to do something like that you could set up a mesh network node and set the basestation to wireless mode which was added via a recent frimeware.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews Cheers

If your phone has cellular data and the eufy app it can talk to the home base even when you are not home. That is the great thing about it. You can expand the storage but for most the storage is more then enough for months of clips. And the oldest do get override so technically you never run out of space if you don't mind losing older clips.

You will need some type of wifi at your home to use with this.

Youwould either log into the same accoutn on both phones or share the account where each person has their own account.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thanks

Yes, I noticed that too when I was testing it. Did not feel like it was that much of a differnce to say anything. But you can see it in my video smaples here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FQ87klgYHvw.html

@@Wanderer001_Reviews yeah that's what mine looks like I just wonder if it's normal or what's going on

@@glovedcop69 It seems to be the norm.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews that's what I'm thinking

I talk with my hands and when the video focuses very close on the tech it's hard not to ha e the hands in the video.

Constructive criticism is always welcome. I make these style of videos as a reference point for those looking to know all the things about a given product in one place.

I disagree It’s really good review

I like your video give me more details and I will try this doorbell, you are a talented guy and make more videos like this to help others understand

Agree. Talked for 45min about everything that is already extremely obvious and leaves out simple shit like SHOWING IT IN USE. This guys got a skill for spewing word soup while not communicating anything useful.
