Product Information

Can connect with your existing chime, or pair with eufy HomeBase S280, eufy HomeBase S380, eufy Minibase Chime (T8023), Alexa devices, and Google Voice Assistant devices. Note: Not compatible with the original eufy Wi-Fi Chime (T8020) or eufy Chime (T8740/T8742). the Clarity: The built-in Sony 2K sensor and professional-grade lens allow you to view activity in picture-perfect resolution. See visitors in sharp detail as they approach your door. As with all smart doorbells, you can use the Eufy app to talk to anyone who rings the bell when you’re out and about. I found this worked well enough but there was quite a long delay between me speaking and it coming through at the other end. Introducing the industry's first dual-light system paired with an advanced light capturing and processing algorithm. Less blur than previous iterations of night vision and a clear nighttime viewing distance of up to 16ft (5m). Finally, you can add activity zones to focus on the areas of the image that are most important. This is usually a feature reserved for wired cameras, and is often only available as a paid-for extra.

Installation – Battery installation takes only a few minutes; a little longer if you want to wire the doorbell, too. Both rings and motion detection events are saved to the HomeBase’s integrated 16GB of storage. There’s no way to upgrade this amount, and the 2K footage is quite large, so you’ll get around two weeks of footage. If you hook up other Eufy cameras to the HomeBase, then you’ll seen that storage allocation disappear even faster. An upgrade to let you expand storage via USB is in the works. Getting the settings right for my front garden, I found that the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K didn’t worry too much about people walking in front of my house; generally it only pinged me as people approached the front door. If you don’t want notifications regarding motion, you can turn this off in the app.

Free Electronic Chime Included: Supports 8 fun and holiday-themed ringtones and adjustable volume level. Note: The doorbell requires Existing Doorbell Wires at 16-24 VAC, 30 VA, or above. There’s no removable battery here, so as is the case with Ring models, you’ll have to remove the entire doorbell to charge it via the micro-USB port on the rear. If that still sounds like too much hassle, you can connect the Eufy to existing doorbell wiring. The doorbell won’t ring your chime and this does increase the complexity of installation but it ensures the doorbell will never need to be recharged. Eufy Video Doorbell (battery-powered): How well does it perform?

Then, there’s the Nest Hello, which is wired-only but remains my favourite smart doorbell because of its facial recognition. Plus, you can answer this doorbell from your Google Assistant devices. All clips can be accessed in the Events section of the app, which you can filter by device and event type: Person, Pet or Crying. The latter two options don’t apply to this camera, though. There are simple video thumbnails available, so it’s pretty easy to find the clip you’re after.

Compatible with mechanical chime (not digital chime) First, you can set the motion sensitivity, dialling it down if you receive too many alerts, or up if you find that it’s missing some. I found that the basic level was good enough for me. Next, the doorbell is set to detect humans only, although you can tell it to detect all motion if you want to capture more. As well as detecting humans, the camera has facial detection, but not recognition. When someone approaches the door, video footage features a thumbnail of a face, so you can see clearly who was calling.It’s also possible to define activity zones to prevent people walking past the end of your drive or garden path from setting off notifications, and to tweak the sensitivity of motion detection as a whole. I found the doorbell’s default settings worked very well, however, only triggering recordings when visitors approached the front door. Tap the play button and you jump into the live view part of the app, where you can see what’s going on, and trigger a snapshot, recording or enter the two-way chat. Only Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is available, rather than HDR, but the camera managed to cope well with my south-facing front door. If I’m being slightly critical, it’s that the dimensions of the video don’t capture a person at full height, cropping off around waist height; the Arlo Smart Video Doorbell has a tall and thin aspect ratio to capture people in full. A Crystal-Clear 2K Image: High Definition 2560 x 1920 resolution, combined with our advanced HDR and Distortion Correction, ensures video is recorded in 2x the quality.
