We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
Great vid! Thanks for sharing. Very thorough explanation of all the features
Great video. Thanks for the detailed insight.
Thanks for the video. Should I get the Eufy Smart Lock S230 and the dual-camera doorbell separately, or is just the Smart Lock S330 a good option? Please advise.
Thanks for the valuable & thorough review! It’s really one the best reviews I certainly benefited from. I just got 2 questions please:
1: I plan to use this lock for my vacation property abroad in Turkey. Therefore, I hope it won’t be an issue if I won’t be using it too often. Because I’m not always there, I have no wifi inside this home. I currently have a bluetooth enabled lock which supports fingerprints and numerical passcodes. It works fine and does not require wifi as long as someone is physically there and has either a passcode or access to the lock app.
If I get this lock, will these features I enjoyed before with my older lock remain functional, even without wifi? (If there’s bluetooth perhaps..)
2: My vacation home is located in a community apartment complex. The complex recently installed a wonderful smart security system for building entry which doesn’t rely on internet from tenant homes, but a newly installed cheap internal internet system we started paying for on a monthly basis. With this system, I can see the building door entry area anytime using the live camera, unlock building door for anyone to enter at anytime, regardless where I am located..
Is there some sort of internal internet that I can utilize besides having to install an active internet subscription in my vacation home?
Thanks
So would I need another one of these for the back door?
Very good instructional video 👍
Thank you!
Hi, thank you for the review video, and your reply to other viewers’ questions. I have looked thru those comments but didn’t see anyone asked my question yet😂 could you please let me know if this lock allow us to communicate with the person ring the doorbell, like the ring doorbell product. I doubt it since I have been watching many review about this product but no one mentions that feature yet. However, I really appreciate if you could confirm it. Again, thanks for your time.

Can I install it on my metal french security door or just any metal security door?
Actually i have a nest video door bell im going to install a video smart lock as well! Having a second camera can’t hurt! And will help!
This This Smart House video sold me. However, I wish it mentioned the fact that the camera does not look down and therefore you can't see if a package is at the door. Delivery person is chest and head at the door and full bodied ~ 3 feet out. In a condo hallway it is possible to walk down the hallway stop before the camera -grab a packet and retreat. Of course no one would do that. I installed this 3-in-1 yesterday and found it very easy and the software to be straight forward. Looking forward to the 4-in-1 with the dual camera facing down.
Hi Chris. I did mention the fact that the camera is stuck and can't be moved. My main complaint is that my door frame takes up 1/4 of my view. But one advantage is that the dual motion detection should pick up any motion even if they are not directly in frame. Hopefully catching a piece of the porch pirate.
I really hope they update it with swivel camera. But I still love the lock. I am still waiting for the dev of the Home Assistant integration to support it. That will be a game changer!
Decent video. A quick tip, its hard to follow instruction videos when there are a lot of cuts away from the meat of the install.
Like 5 - 7min mark should only be your voiceover the install video.
Also, no need to split-screen when showing the settings... its reducing the important content on the screen.
Love the video. Only thing I would like to know how fast this unit sends notifications to your phone.
It is very fast. I would say with the in 10 seconds I get notifications about motion from all of my Eufy cams.
10:58 can you put mirror glass so you can see other side I hope it will work
I’m in the market for a complete front door knob and dead bolt lock, similar to this and an extra camera. I have 2 front door light fixtures with gfi outlets where a camera will go. The other thing is I have a storm door. The frame would block video until someone opens it. What do you recommend. Prices isn’t a huge concern. Something close to brushed silver on the metal park of the door handle.
If your lock will be blocked by a storm door, then maybe look for a separate smart lock and then ether add a camera (with AC power you can use anything). You could do a doorbell cam or any camera connected to your AC power (Wyze, Eufy, ReoLink, etc).
For the lock, what hubs or technologies do you have (Zwave, Zigbee, etc). Before this lock I was using the Schlage dead bolt (Z-wave). It comes in many different colors. They also make a lever handle version. Eufy has a few smart locks as well (without a camera). Let me know a little bit more about your requirements and I would be happy to help.

I remember about a year ago when they first came out with this thing it was sort of a crowdfunded deal and it was fairly cheap at the time and I was really interested in it but after some investigation into it it seems I couldn't integrate it into home assistant so that was kind of something I wasn't interested in after that, but it's generally a good idea though the whole thing in one unit
I looked into the integration and I would say it is coming soon. There is already a Eufy security community integration that works great for my HomeBase 3. They said they are working on this product.
Once I can pull it in to home assistant I will be really happy.
@@ThisSmartHouse yeah I know you do a bunch of videos on home assistant stuff so I'll be looking forward to when you get that hooked up in there. I would like to see it
I got my EufyCams set up but I am waitng for the dev to add support. As soon as they get it working I will make the video!
@@ThisSmartHouse Did they ever add this support?
Great video. But is there a monthly charge to use this camera/ storage similar to Ring? Thanks!
No monthly charge
During winter my door gets stuck. Is it worth getting this if I might have to use the key during that season? I can see myself getting really annoyed having to remove the cover to access the keyhole. I would also be afraid that the cover will break off. What do you think?
Is it the door that gets stuck or the deadbolt? I just installed a new lock for a friend and their deadbolt stuck constantly. I swapped it out with a larger strike on the inside.
If the door gets stuck but the lock can turn, then you shouldn't have any issues. If the deadbolt gets jammed, then you might want to fix that before buying any smart lock. You are going to get a lot of jams and run the battery down.
Hope that answers your question!
Looks like Eufy is running Black Friday / Cyber Monday Sales. Right now this lock is $130 off!!! Which is a steal! No coupon need, you can just use the links below.

How do I adjust the sound on the sell phone
Already have integrations into third-party smart home systems? the lock works on what protocol?
It works with Google assistant and Alexa. There's a plug in for home assistant but it doesn't support this lock yet.
Does the indoor unit work for an outer gate door? keeping in mind that the indoor unit will be exposed to constant sunlight?
I would be concerned about water. The outdoor part is the only one with an IP rating.
Maybe someone can answer this. Can the chime/local storage compatible for extra storage if I buy the solocam s40.
I do not believe so. I think the time is only usable with the doorbell/lock. I think only the home base can be used for additional storage.
How do you view the videos? Do you have to pull the SD card? I know you can see real time. Does it alert you of video recordings?
You can view everything via the Eufy app. Yes you get notifications when motion is detected or the door is unlocked (you can customize notifications).
I have configured access code for the lock and I am wondering if it will work without internet once installed? Chime won't be installed yet so just standard lock unlock using access code is required. Thanks
I have the older eufy smart door model , if I install this new 3-1 can I leave my old deadbolt since is from same brand ?
You mean the actual deadbolt inside the door? I would think so, but you would want to check them side by side to make sure. I think the one Eufy uses is pretty standard.
I understand the temperature range listed, but I'm still cautious if this is SERIOUS. My door faces south, has no shade, and is constantly hammered by the Texas sun. I wonder how it will survive 3 years or more in this environment. Any thoughts?
So far I haven't had any issues with temp. My door gets extremely hot in the summer and so far no issues (except my door warping).
Thank you for the video, it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Can you please give me the model number for the lock you demonstrated?
The video smart lock is model T8530. Glad you liked the video!
Thank you!
How long time does the the battery work?
For my usage 4 to 6 months between charges.
Can you charge it completely through the usb c.
Yes, I believe so. I will double check.
Does it connect to the Home Base 3 yet?
They delayed it until March. I will update the pinned comment when it starts to roll out.
What about your power goes out does it still work?
The lock will still function locally. You can still unlock it via the keypad / fingerprint / keyway. But if you power is out, then you won't be able to use the doorbell / video functions.
Thanks
Does is auto lock aswell?
Yes it does. We use it daily.
Prime Member October Sale on the S330: $244.99!!! amzn.to/3ROhxwJ
Is this compatible with the Homebase 3??
The firmware update was supposed to be out last month. But it should be once that is out. From what I understand that will add the ability to backup your footage onto the home base and also use automations. The latter is what I'm most excited about.
Great and informative video. However, the contant switch between the installation and you talking made it difficult to follow. Awesome video regardless!
How can you access doorbell if you have a storm door and this lock is installed on entry door.
That would be a slight issue. If the storm door is unlocked, then someone could open it and ring the bell. But your view would be blocked. Maybe consider splitting up to a smart lock and a separate doorbell.
Does it fit in security doors
What type of security door?
RTSP support?
It is battery powered so no RTSP. BUT, once it is supported by the 3rd party Eufy Security integration for Home Assistant, that seems to be able to expose an RTSP stream (at least on my Eufy Cam 3).
The only problem is that both the newest solar eufy cameras and smart lock don’t work with HomeKit.
Yeah that has been a big issue for a lot of viewers. I am not a home kit user but I can see why it is popular.
Right now I would just love if the lock worked with automations inside of the Eufy app.
Can you delete people including finger prints for those you don’t want then to come in? 😊
You have full control of either removing the entire user or just deleting a fingerprints. You can also set a time limit so they can only come in at certain times of the day.
Why a lot of video talk about deffirent video doorbell but no one talked about how to connect or to control the door lock for example if i installed an Arlo video doorbell how to control the electric doorlock ?
Not sure why you would be asking about an Arlo doorbell on a Eufy video. Did you try asking on an Arlo video?
@@ThisSmartHouse thank you for your reply i asked on Eufy video because its the same for Eufy too how it can control an eelctric door lock
This is an all in one device that has a lock built in. It cannot control a secondary device.
Do you need eufy home base for this?
No. It comes with a chime that will store the video to micro SD card. You can now connect the doorbell to a home base 3 which eliminates the need for the chime.
@@ThisSmartHouse thank you
It's a doorbell to
Has anyone figured out where on the app I can change the PIN?
Go to the camera, settings (cog), Manage Access.
@@ThisSmartHouse perfect, I got it. Thank you so much. Your video helped so much. Thank you
Is it support HomeKit?
No. It doesn't look like the latest products from Eufy support home kit. But I think it might be on the roadmap.
@@ThisSmartHouse I don’t understand why so many smart home not supporting HomeKit.
@@lizadonrex extra cost and design will be added to these smart kits.
Can I unlock my door while at work????
Yes. You can lock and unlock via the app from anywhere.
This would be perfect if it did NOT have the backup key entry!
If they upgraded to a core that was not so susceptible to key bumps, it wouldn't be that bad.
you forgot the third screw on the bottom of the inside part and the plug to cover the hole!
otherwise good info.
Ha ha, oops! You take these things apart so many times for a video, I am bound to miss something. Thanks for point that out!
@@ThisSmartHouse After many days of researching electric door locks, I bought the Eufy 3 IN 1 last week and installed it, (surprisingly easy I'm 73) I set it up within an hour. The only reason I noticed the omission was doing it once myself. You supplied great info on app use.
The mechanical install isn't the hard part, it's the details of app use and house network links, that sequence. That's the invisible part of the install that should flow. Those steps in detail, complete the install painlessly.
I've watched many install videos, details in yours complete my understanding of the sequence and app. Good pace and clarity THANKS. art
The link provided doesn't talk about types of doors at all.
They did update their website a bit but the information is still there at the bottom. Now they say it's compatible with all doors in most countries.
Video Smart Lock is compatible with most doors used in the US, Canada, and Australia. Plus, it can be easily installed within 15 minutes with just a screwdriver.
Video Smart Lock works with all latch holes, 38-54mm wide, 60-70 mm deep.
Not recommended for storm doors
@@ThisSmartHouse I'm taking one abroad and taking an exact size circular hole cutter bit with me in case I can't find one there because they use metric, You're right I don't see why it shouldn't work with anydoor, Door thicknesses are from 1.5" to 2" worldwide and the lock should accomodate for that.
And even with all their security issues last year, they don't have the ability to lock the mobile application which is surprising and disapointing.
You mean like a fingerprint or PIN lock on the app? Have you sent a request to support. I am surprised they don't have that as an option.
Uh, What about the password on your phone to unlock the phone to give access to your apps? Isn’t that the point of a phone password?
@@ItzAwsomeWasTaken see this is why idiots with opinions are the worst kind of idiots.
No. It’s called an Application Specific Password and many of the apps on your phone right now have it. 🤦♂️
@@ItzAwsomeWasTakendo you know how the internet works?
THE CAMERA PART USELESS IF YOU HAVE A STORM DOOR
It depends on what type of storm door, but yes it wouldn't work as well there. Plus most people won't open a storm door to ring a doorbell...
What if it is a glass door? Motion detection would still work right?
@@DCG2013 THE STORM DOOR FRAME BLOCKS THE VEIW
@@ThisSmartHouse NO SHIT
You aware of, or care about, Eufy's deceptive marketing and outright lies as far as how they handle customer data? Was a pretty big deal for some channels I've come to respect/trust.
I just found your channel so might be good to post some basic updates about this so that people like me don't find your stuff and immediately assume you're just here to farm clicks vs provide honest info.
Unfortunately if I posted about every news story coming out about each brand I talk about that's all I would end up posting about.
As far as the specific security considerations for Eufy, Rob over at the hookup did it good analysis of the actual impact of what it means. I am no expert on the specifics of how each company does their user data storage. But I have worked in device manufacturing and I understand the limitations of cloud providers security versus speed and ease of use.
Now specifically on Eufy, do I think the whole response was handled poorly? Probably. Would I call it willfully misleading customers? Probably not.
Personally, I live by the mantra that unless I control 100% of where the data is I don't fully own it. So if I was super concerned about somebody getting access to my cameras then I wouldn't have a cloud-based subscription.
I think the security researchers did exactly what they were supposed to do which was create a lot of chatter around how Eufy were doing things versus what they were saying. But unfortunately in the world we live in that's about as good as we're going to get. If there's public outcry hopefully company modifies their business practices or corrects any issues.
I think when the initial reports came out many channels had a knee-jerk reaction to vilify the company, drop them, etc. But I think after the dust settled and people actually looked at what was happening it's very common around the industry and it wasn't as big as it once looked.
I could probably write on the subject for quite a long time but....
What questions do you have? What specific concerns about your data security do you still have?
I am interested to see what other people outside of the product design world think.
Thanks!
@@ThisSmartHouse I totally understand that many topics can "blow up" but it's pretty easy to see Eufy is a very different situation:
1) It was confirmed and proven multiple times over that you could watch video streams from their cameras without encryption. And with a little effort, you could access camera feeds that weren't your own.
2) The company directly denied this was possible, flat out lying to customers and media throughout the entire ordeal.
3) They advertised heavily the security and privacy and "anti cloud" design of their devices only to be clearly and publicly proven that was all false.
To summarize, they lied to everyone, falsely advertised their products in a HUGE way, and handled the backlash in about the worst way possible. Unfortunately we live in a world/country where consumers are generally extremely ignorant and corporations are widely free to lie, cheat, and steal within millimeters of the legal boundary with no regard to morality.
It sucks that this has so many features as that bypass lock makes them all irrelevant. It can literally be bumped open by an amateur.
At least you get a good picture of the person trying to break into your house. I mean no residential lock is really that secure. Especially when you can just break a window and get right in. You could always block the key way with epoxy if you really wanted to.
Not sure I trust them. I have 2 wonderful cameras, unfortunately strongly cloud based. Also really don't work well with HA, I spent days trying. They limit the amount of streaming time. Grin to save them money 🤑🤑.
Plus will only truly focus on Matter products unless cheap.
Which cameras do you have? I know they limit the battery cams to save battery.
Which integration are you using?
Great review. Sorry if I missed it. But does it also link with the homebase3?
They said that there is an update coming soon to allow it to record to the home base 3. It was supposed to be out end of November but I haven't seen anything yet.
I have two! Eufy is a solid company! And there customer service is great!
Dude slow down a bit LOL
Very disappointing that you did not show night time video.
Is this maybe because it’s sucks at night mode? And this being a free camera sent to you by eufy for free and don’t want to much negative????
You should have done night videos of this and sound.
If you are truly asking how the night time performance is, it is good just like most cameras in the same class. This lock is still installed on my front door and performs just great.
But it sounds like you came to my channel with an already formed opinion. Do you own one and just don't like the performance? Or are you just trolling videos?
If you have a question or if you think I forgot something feel free to ask. But if you are going to come over here and throw out accusations, then please go else where. It will save everyone some time.
This device does sound good but with no disrespect to you but my brain hurts after listening to you,1: you talk way too fast.2: the way you edited the video it appears you don't take a breath. so it's hard to take in anything you have explained.
Well as I explain to most people it's a trade-off. We have to keep retention times up while also getting through information quickly. I have taken feedback from folks and slowed down a tad. I've also tried to add some more natural pauses in the editing.
Check out one of my more recent videos and let me know if you seen an improvement.
So so fast… money ❤earning… I don’t like this video so much… sorry
Not sure what you mean... Sorry you didn't like the video. Can't please everyone...
