Multimeter
That would be useful, but I didn't have one. Also, don't think it'd necessarily help me find that darn transformer (still haven't found it!). 🤣 Thanks for commenting.
Does this product have positive and negative poles? If a transformer adapter is used, it can change from 240v to 24v.
Not sure. Let me know if you find out! 😄
It is 24v ac output from the transformer, no polarity on the wires
I'm probably only the 20,955th person to say this, but a multi-meter would save you a bunch of time.
You’re right, it definitely could. I didn’t have one, so I eventually just resorted to the buy-and-try method. 🤣
Thanks for watching and commenting! Be sure to sub for more. 😄
if my mom has one at her house and I have one at my house can I monitor her house as well as mine with my app?
That's a good question. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can set up different locations from within the app (each with their own cameras, doorberlls, etc.). I've just got one location, but I see an "Add New Home" option in the app. Different users can be invited to have the app and access to the cameras, too (with different logins).
Hope that's helpful, and good luck! Be sure you're subbed for more, and thank you for your support, @cuttinup97! 😄 Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this! I was in the exact same situation. For the life of me couldn't find the transformer but decided I'd just jump in and looks like the existing wiring provides enough power.
Glad it worked out for you! Yeah, couldn't find the transformer (and still haven't!). 🤣 Be sure you're subbed for more, and thanks for your support! :)
Thanks for posting. Tried to install this for my neighbor, wasn’t enough power even after jumping. Wouldn’t do anything. It measured 20 volts, but not enough amperage. My Ring has a battery that mounts at the doorbell that stores enough current for it to work.
Oh wow, thanks for the update. Some doorbells require more power than others. Hopefully you’re in the return window and can get it returned with no issues!
The indoor bell pairs with wifi or blue tooth. I have the e340 and tried to add the mini chime. It shows as a device in the app and will give tone when you change volume but that's it. The doorbell activating I get nothing . Chime shows steady blue. About to send back to Amazon. eufy Customer service never called back
I've dealt with Eufy customer service a few times via the app or site I think, and then they email you. The response time is generally one day (I think they're based overseas), but they've been helpful and have replaced a couple things for me. They're actually sending me a new doorbell, as the mic quality of this one seems to be poor.
Has anyone figured out a way to make an existing transformer and chime box ring on this without the plug-in chime that you get
That would be nice! Haven't seen anything about getting it to work with the existing doorbell. I've got mine working with the plug-in chime, and also with the Echos I have scattered throughout the house, so am not missing the existing doorbell...but would be nice to have the option!

This is the biggest issue with this product, it does not work with the existing chime/transformer. Apparently it's possible but Eufy doesn't want to make it work.
@@Braunson This does work with my existing transformer, but you are correct that it is not compatible with the existing chime. I've got it set up so that in addition to the included speaker and my phone sending me alerts, the Alexas throughout my house also tell me when someone rings the bell.
Isn’t it with the jumpers? What does that do?
Good question...not sure. They do give you a cable that you hook up between two spots on the existing doorbell chimes.@@shawn_tyranosaurus_rex458
Thanks for your video. I also have to buy this model and I wanted to ask you if the notifications are instant enough, even remotely on a smartphone or are there delays? Even when the doorbell rings? Thank you
The notifications seem pretty fast to me. The audio quality isn’t great though, I’ve noticed, so they sent me another one (which was worse), so I just put my original one back up.
Hi Charlie, nice video, thanks for showing the process. I have a question, haven't found the naswer anywhere yet. Do you know where the videos are actually located? if in the doorbell or the chime? Do you have the option to automatically dowload the videos to your app/cell phone? I'm asking this because if something bada happens, if a bad person just rip off the doorbell and take it out, can we still access the videos to know what happened? Thanks
Great question. I think for this wired version, it’s stored in the doorbell itself (at least as of now). It’s accessed in the Eufy Security app (alongside other cameras you might have that might store on a Homebase), but as of now, this does not take advantage of any Homebases you might have. I don’t think there are any automatic download options for the videos on this doorbell…you have to go in and manually download videos you want. Hopefully they enable support for Homebase 3 in the future (as of now, they’ve got a PDF somewhere on their website that says it’s under consideration or something like that).
Thanks for your support, and be sure to sub for more! 😄
@@bigscreen8711 Absolutely correct! Their website shows that it has the necessary hardware to theoretically be compatible with Homebase 3, but they have not said whether they will extend support for it in the future or not. Thanks for your support! 😄
If you have. Multimeter, you can just check the voltage at the doorbell button if you don’t know where the transformer is
Or the transformer might be mounted on your furnace
Checked up there in the attic, but couldn’t find it :( Be sure to sub for more, and thanks for your support, @lubman1!
Hey @Charlie, thanks for the video - really helpful as I'm looking into getting a Eufy doorbell camera for my new house.
One question - Any issues with the power getting to the actual doorbell device? I've read that Eufy is pretty good about notifications via their app related to this issue.
Thanks
Thanks, @Josehaha! I was lucky that my transformer had a high-enough voltage, so the power works well for me. There's a self-test in the app that will test whether the transformer has enough voltage to support the doorbell as well. Thanks for your support, and be sure to sub for more! 😄
hi i have exact same original chime box as your but my orignals wire connected wit trans and rear , not like your trnas and front , do i still jumper cable front and trans
Good question...I'm afraid I don't know... Sorry!
The transformer should be by the electrical panel
Tried all around there, and no luck :( They hid it good! Luckily, the transformer was powerful enough to handle this, so it was a nonissue after all 😄

What if u dont use the jumper ? would your regular chime still work ?
I don't think the regular chime would work. The jumper thing is a requirement to get your transformer to work properly with the doorbell, I think.
Be sure to sub for more, and thanks for your support, @cavy7377! 😄
and what if i wire the bell, and just remove the old chime without bypass
Will my bell still be powered? Because the station will
be my chime and dont need one extra.
Not sure, but don’t think it will work. As far as I know, the existing chime cannot work as a chime, whether or not you bypass it like you’re supposed to if you don’t bypass it, I don’t think either the existing chime or the doorbell will work. Thanks for commenting and be sure you subbed for more! 😄
@@CharlieAlbrightPianist thx for replying, but i am not using the existing chime as described. i will remove it. the station will be my chime. So the question is still, wil the bell be powered if i wire it without a chime
@@Pandaa78Ah, I see. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one. If you end up trying, keep me posted!
what does it mean when it says homebase not supported?
Homebase is a separate device that certain Eufy devices use. My Eufycam 3s connect to Homebase 3, but my Eufy S330 Video Doorbell Dual Wired (at least currently) doesn't. So, there are some differences, including that the doorbell stores the videos on the doorbell itself instead of on the Homebase 3, and doesn't get all the advanced AI features that the Eufycam 3s do that use the Homebase 3. Hope that's helpful! 😄
12.22. Check your electric panel.
Couldn’t find it there too… 🤣
Does anyone have issue with the chime , keeps unpairing.
I haven't had that issue, knock on wood, but if someone else has, hopefully they'll leave a comment. If you've already tried unpairing/repairing the chime and/or setting up the whole camera/chime again from scratch, there's the option to use your Amazon Alexa (or other device, probably) to announce when someone's at the door. I have some Alexas set up to do that, along with the chime...and it seems to work pretty well.

I bought a mini eufy chime to add to my e340 dual and it won't sound when the doorbell is rung. Customer service sucks!
In a lot of homes the doorbell transformer is at the furnace, it usually shares the electrical connection switch box for the ac power outlet feeding the furnace
I’ve heard that…checked but no luck there too! 🥲
Found ours inside the power panel cover. I looked for hours. Finally gave in and got in the attic and followed the wire
I think you saved the day by shortening that wire. With the doorbell you had before I doubt your transformer has enough power. It will work short term but you'll have problems down the road. Keep looking.
There is a test function within the Eufy app that checks if the transformer voltage is good, and it says it is (has been working now for about two months with no issues). I think the homebuilder must have put in a transformer that works with this doorbell. Thanks for your support, and be sure to sub for more! 😄
Is your original indoor chime from your house still working or the eufy chime only?
At least for this version of the wired doorbell, the indoor chime does not ring anymore...only the chime they give. Plus, I have Alexas throughout my house, so I have it set up that Alexa will announce that someone rang the doorbell throughout the house. So we definitely hear it more/better now than before with the original bell that was only downstairs.

DONT BUY THIS IF YOU LIVE IN THE Uk. customer support is LOUSY. WIRED IS NOT working. Many complaints on this matter. ENGINEER DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS AC? MISLEADING INFORMATION ABOUT 6 months rechargeable battery.
Thank you for your perspective from the U.K., @anoyakashi8775! This version I'm using doesn't (wired one) doesn't have a battery. Were you able to check to see if the transformer you have in your home is compatible? (I wasn't able to find mine, but luckily whatever I have (and wherever it is) is luckily compatible).
