Eufy Battery Video Doorbell review - Best Subscription-Free Doorbell?

- The Eufy Battery Video Doorbell is finally here. Is it a worthy contender to the Ring Video Doorbell 2? How does subscription-free sound for a doorbell security camera? Much like the EufyCam E and Eufy wired video doorbell, Eufy is really on to something with their security smart home devices. How does it hold up against the Ring Video Doorbell 2 and it's wired Eufy brother?

UPDATE: Eufy put out Firmware 2.2.1.1, which has fixed the stuttering video issue for me. They've also added a WDR (wide dynamic range) toggle for the doorbell. And they've added a "streaming to smart displays" configuration, which has dramatically reduced the latency in the video loading on things like the Google Nest Hub. All more reasons why I recommend their products. They're constantly updating their systems.

The mere fact that we even have to specify that something like a doorbell should be subscription free tells me that there is something very wrong in this world.
Gonna buy a £140 doorbell just for people to knock at the door instead
So with these products you can’t ignore the door anymore and pretend you aren’t in and never saw the person knock.
Integration with Amazon and Google is a privacy nightmare.
We recently changed our home security provider and the wired Skybell® was included. It has the lowest resolution and 720p but, it doesn’t look too bad because the doorbell is perpendicular to the entry door. Our porch is small and the subjects are forced to enter the screen door first then since it’s a small area it captures the face good enough and it activates by motion and notifies us instantly which is desirable. Of course, it comes with its own cloud storage included with the price so, I have no control over the video. Not the best night vision but, good enough. The audio picks up a lot of background noise like wind and road roar. I can chat with the subject at the door which great. It's not the Eufy® so, for now, I’ll deal with it.
A door bell that doesn't connect to your wallet with decent quality as he stated in this video is hard to find now a day. Same price as big brand is a big turn off for me.
How long (years) does it last? This is one question no is answering (yet).
Local data security is top priority, but why can't they provide simple IFTTT integrations? :cryemoji: I'd be 100% into Eufy if this was the case.
I just bought this after reviewing for a few weeks. Experience hasn't be good. Had to charge twice. Even with LED and motion off. With it on it misses most.. motion,or I just get a vid of the person WALKING AWAY!Just crazy! Maybe I have a defective device. I could of stayed with NEST. Talked to someone in customer care & they seem so passive about my situation!
How comes no one is talking about the choppy night time video!!!
UPDATE: Eufy put out Firmware
Excellent video. No echo - good pace of talking - pertinent - important info stated with no fluff or needless wasting time. This is the fifth video I've watched today, and I was about to give up. Yours recharged me, and
Love the BATTERY version of the Eufy Doorbell. The Homebase 2 acts as a second doorbell, stores videos INSIDE the house on internal storage, and Homebase 2 fully integrates and controls other Eufy security products like motion sensors (I have 5) and cameras in addition to sounding a MOTION ALARM when triggered by the sensors. Security modes are completely configurable in the app for each attached device which is convenient. The Eufy phone app has a "home" mode and an "away" mode that just requires a single button to switch. What isn't mentioned in this review is that Eufy also has a WEBSITE whereby live video from the battery doorcam can be viewed on any device with a browser. That video is delayed 3 seconds from what you see on your phone app but being able to check the video on a PC or smartTV really gives this Eufy product some nice capabilities. Also not mentioned is that "slow" delay with seeing the live camera feed on your Google Display can be fixed with a setting in the app option called "streaming to Alexa/Google" under the settings button on the doorbell camera. If you select "Smart Display First" then it takes only about 6 - 7 seconds to see your livestream on your Google display and your phone image is essentially unaffected. Yes oddly, the BATTERY version offers the most features than the WIRED version....I love mine!
Thanks to your recommendation I picked up the doorbell (and the floodlight cam) in Nov. and have been very pleased overall. I also got the 3d printed base you mentioned and let the vendor know how I found out about his product. He hadn't seen your earlier video so I'm guessing he'll be busy again after this one.
Wish this was out last week when I watched your last video, good thing I went with this one, installed last night love it so far
Thanks for your well done review. I’ve been researching for quite awhile, and you helped me decide. Thanks again.
Thanks for the review here. I got one to replace my Ring 3 - the video clarity is far superior, and the snapshot feature when someone comes to the door for a quick view is a nice feature too.
We purchased this battery operated door bell that does not require you to pay for monthly cloud storage and has incredible high end features from Amazon. We love everything about it and I wanted I thank you so much for researching and recommending this fantastic product!
I had this camera for 1 year now and I can’t say enough how happy I am.
Didn’t know this type of doorbell existed. Thanks for reviewing it.
