@Wanderer001 Thanks for the very clear explanation. I have a question though and hope you have an answer to it... at night you can see 2x3 red leds under the camera and I don't know if there is a possibillity to turn them off?! It's bothering. I turned off the push button, wich is blue, but there doesn't seem to be a solution to turn off the 2x3 red lights... ?
Forgive me if I am wrong but someone can simply stole you doorbell with a simple mobile pin am i correct? Is this for real? they dont include a more secure mounting mechanism?
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.
What a great review, I have two of these in my Amazon basket right now, it's a very good doorbell for the money, the most important part is Local storage and 2k,amazing, thanks for the unbiased review, it appears the brand with the circle has a proper competitor, thank you for your content.😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the review helpful and that the Eufy 2K Battery Doorbell seems like a great option for you. It's always important to have local storage and a high resolution like 2K. Appreciate your support!
This is by far the best review I’ve found on TH-cam about this doorbell a very in-depth video can’t believe it was nearly forty minutes long, but it didn’t seem it which is a good indication of quality. I was already about 80% sure I wanted to get this doorbell over others now I’m 100% sure this is the best option for me. Will be looking for any post Xmas deals on this and even if I can’t find a discount I’ll still buy it as it’s definitely worth it.
Brilliant review! I was so confused about all the doorbell gadgets out there but you've sold me on this one. Also I like that it doesn't share all my data. Privacy is important 👍
YOU MUST NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT AS CURRENTLY SUPPLIED. The problem with all 2K Eufy cams (this doorbell included) is that pressing and holding the reset/sync button deletes all associated video stored on the HomeBase (true!). On the cams, the button (ridiculously) is on the top, so very easy to access, on the doorbell, it is on the rear, so a touch trickier. Don't forget that burglars will simply swipe the cameras off your wall with a pole or wrench the doorbell from its mount to access these buttons. If they are more careful, they can wipe the vids without damaging the hardware and then, of course, steal the cameras. In fact, some may be tempted onto your property precisely, and only, to steal the cameras.... Burglars are as good at their 'job' as you are at yours. They will have a Eufy doorbell release key and they will, for sure, know about this major security hole. I have confirmation of this design flaw directly from Eufy support. They are currently stating October 2022 for a fix, but don't hold your breath. Video recording are NOT wiped by the reset method if you have a cloud subscription BUT, as most of us buy this system precisely to avoid such schemes, this will not appeal to many of you... In addition, the doorbell demo'd here does NOT support cloud storage, so it is not even a full fix even if you are tempted. Happy to supply June/July 2022 Eufy emails supporting these comments. I'm not sure a security camera that can be wiped by a burglar is 'fit for purpose' and I am certain that Eufy's failure to mention this problem in pre-sales is, by denying potential customers critical information for making an informed purchasing decision, a breach of UK consumer law (and, doubtless, elsewhere).
This relies on bad actors being in the know of what doorbell have this issue. Your simple smash and grab BNE are not going to know this. Also, if you have a video doorbell chances are you also have other cameras around your home.
Love the bell (off bell storage, no subscription, proper video and sound quality). Don’t love things like the battery usage. After less than 1,5 year both are only working for a few days, even with motion detection off). Connecting it to the old bell power, gives a horible static buzz (grounding). Also the lens cover came off from both. If the wifi signal in house is bad, so is the motion detection, and connection in general.
A big fan of eufy but my experience of doorbell was phantom ringing when just outside the warranty period. Research showed a common issue and after trying all suggestions had to change to a ring doorbell which has been much more reliable.
For me I am just not sure if I want to give Google anymore data on me. It is why I ended up not going with the nest smoke detector when Google was getting ready to buy them.
I was racking my brain on how to make this item work and I found your video and it help me bunches...oh thank you, thank you thank you...I thought I was going to lose my mind because the darn thing didnt want to work with me.
I still had trouble bc my cell wasn't showing what his was. But figured it out. On the camera device, he had icons across the top, especially the sprocket. Mine didn't. But on the bottom right, mine has 3 dots, which then show snooze and sprocket. I don't have all the options his does, but at least I can do some settings.
Hey great review and I have purchased a couple and recommended to neighbours (neighbors) - however - the NEW 2K (dual camera) version appears to present a problem on removal.. I upgraded and sometime later found that the removal hole - on the bottom here - is suddenly no longer there! I suspect it has moved to the top, but that presents TWO issues: I mounted the doorbell under a lintel and used the same template BEFORE the upgarde to dual camera (oops) and second, without the removal hole on the bottom, people might think the OTHER holes there are to be poked. NO! I believe these are for the speaker and there will be resulting damage if the instruction for the older doorbell are followed. It is a great camera though - disgruntled - but still impressed - Manchester UK.
Yes I could see that as being an issue. Personally I do think the hole on top might actually be a little better as you should be able to see it without having to bend down to try and find the hole under this one. I can see when if upgrading you think the hole is still on the bottom that could creat issues.
Thanks for that info, I’ve just bought one and for the life of me couldn’t find that removal hole in the bottom, I was beginning to thing they had forgotten to punch one in at the factory 😊 I haven’t mounted it yet so rill check the top for it.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I know but at least its secured in some way, rather then a clip on clip off, the pin sounds promising though, it gives it that extra security if someone does try, then it might deter them. thanks for the response
@@jasonrobinson_ Yes, it is better then just clipping in. I have only tested on that screwed down and it felt just about the same as the pin option that this has.
If the battery powered doorbell has connection provision to wire it to your existing doorbell wires, what's the difference between models? 🥴🤪🙄 I was under the assumption that a 16 gig SD card could be swapped out from somewhere to a larger SD card. Also, if the doorbell itself is not wifi based but rather talks to the base station, the I'm left assuming that communication is bluetooth based. If so, what is the max distance between doorbell and base station. Thx
So big differances between wired not non wired: Wired has 3s Pre-buffer for video. Wired only have 4GB, On Doorbell storage, and can not take to home base. Wired comes with a digital chime. Wired is also only 1080p, not 2k like the battery doorbell. As for how the battery doorbell talked to the home base, it creates its own wifi network for the two to talk. So it is not directly sitting on your home wifi network.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you for fast reply. So, let me get this right. For the wired version, proximity from doorbell to wifi router is important for signal because it wont talk to the base station. Do I still get a base station? Why can the wired version talk to my home wifi but not to the base wifi??? 🥴 Can the strength of my existing wifi signal accurately be determined by simply checking my wifi signal at the doorbell location with a smartphone prior to purchase of the doorbell? Will wired version offer quicker ability to respond? Does eufy offer cloud storage of video in addition to the 4gigs? Does the wired version prevent me from connecting additional cameras? I know... lots of questions, but the more I learn the more questions I end up with. Sorry, and thanks again.
There is a monthly plan for cloud storage. It just seems as a way to kind of push peiple to the battery version as it can be wired to trickl charge. The base station can now be wireless so more options for placement in proximity to the doorbell itself.
I was listening to another video about a dashcam for your car that claims to be 4K and 1080P for the rear. He compared this with other 4K dash cams and the comparison was roughly the same when it came to trying to make out something that should be visibly easy to read. He said something to this extent that maybe there using a upscaled version of 4k or maybe how they compress the pixels to try to get 4K which is watered down. I believe he is correct rather than the company coming out and saying that it is true native 4K. I feel that Eufy doesn't have true 2K cause I've tried it for myself where I was able to compare a 1080P camera vs 2K. I do see a ever so slight difference but not a night and day difference. I wonder if Eufy is hiding that or maybe its in small print. I love Eufy and its products cause its innovative and constantly trying to grow and expand but I feel its important that they keep clear transparency to its consumers
So you cannot swap out the battery for another whilst charging it? instead you have to remove the ring bell from the mount? That's a definite negative, however having free local storage with remote access without the need for a subscription is a positive.
I will agree having to take it down to charge and not have a doorbell for a few hours is a negative, but for the most part one you can work around. Free local storage and remote access with person detection for free is a winner in my books.
Slow processing. For events, they tend to be the back of a delivery person leaving. Somebody rings the doorbell and by the time it responds to the ring have walled down and answered the door then the event that finally shows is my back talking to the person.
Are you sure they are pressing the doorbell? I did find that the depending how fast or from what direction someone was coming from the PIR detection could be slower where I would see like you, someone walking away.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Detection is done through motion sensors, in addition, to actually ringing the doorbell. The problem isn't detection but in the delay in notification and connection.
@@ArnieD17 Ok, that is what I was trying to figure out. So the time between button press and notification is what is taking longer then expected. By the time you open the live feed you are seeing someones back.
This was the BEST! I am buying this thanks to all of your terrific informative video. Among the other cool benefits is that I can utilize my 4 Amazon Fire tablets and Echo that are throughout my 2 bedroom apartment. Great Job Wanderer!
I don’t get it why no manufacturer is implementing the possibility to turn off the ring sound at specific times like nightime. Example : 11.45pm until 7.30am do not ring the bell ! My phones are on DND but what about the home base station?
There is an option that has the chime. The only think I can see is it looks like that option is the 1080 version not the 2k. It seems that the 2k only works with the home base. But here is the other doorbell you can check out. us.eufy.com/products/e8222113?ref=navimenu_3_3_5_copy&fliter_category=video-doorbell
I am obviously confused because I'm sure I have seen "words" in advertising literature that implies you can access the Eufy doorbell from the internet to see who's calling and stored video. I know that the Eufy doorbell doesn't have a subscription model and hence no internet presence/connection. Is it possible to connect to the internet to view live or stored video.
Generally what this means is being able to access the camera feed and saved clips while not at home. To do this you would need a smart phone with access to data or wifi which can be considered connected to the internet. eufy does offer cloud storage of clips for a fee but it is not required to use this doorbell.
well, I bought that a month ago. it doesn't detect motion most a time, specially when I leave the house. it looks go off or idle mode and I need to ring it to wake the system up :( I am about to return it and maybe get a ring doorbell. or maybe switch from battery to wired one.
Hi I don't see any video showing how easily it can get stolen, what sort of anti-theft system does have in order to be easily to stop getting stolen then?
It's very common with doorbells like this that there is a little push pin they need a tool or an actual push pin to make it easily removable from your door. However anything that's not mounted down can easily be removed with enough effort.
Hi great review. Do you know if there is the options for multiple app users in the same household on different phones to access the same doorbell. Also do you know if there is an option to power the doorbell from a mains adapter? Are you aware of options for using the same app interface for more than one geographic location ie home & office? Thanks !!
Yes you can do this either by both using the same account or having two different accounts. You can only trickle charge the battery connecting this to a mains power. Your last question I am not sure about. If I understand correctly you could set up a "location" for home and work and set up cameras as part of either location and access them that way. I set up a home for myself and for the cameras I gave to my parents. Hope that helps.
There are two way you can do this. Either you give them your username and password for your Eufy account and they log in on their devices, or they can create their own Eufy accounts and you just share this doorbell with them that way. For how to share this will show you the section: th-cam.com/video/ne4dyWxkZT0/w-d-xo.html.
Great review! I just have one dump question.. if for some reason there is a power outage the camera will be still on by the baterry power but any video will be not recorded ¿right?
Mine came without a base station - just a doorbell you plug in. So I'm a bit confused. Also my night vision is very poor as it has a ring in the image.
I did not know they had a stand alone for this one. I always thought it came bundled with the home base. Not sure when you mean by a doorbell you plug in.
Sounds good, But is it reliable and work 100% as advertised for a long time? My Ring device was perfection when it worked but was totally unreliable. never got more than a day or 2 out of it before you had to reboot and do all kinds of adjustments. i dont want to repeat that.
I don't think anything can be 100% all the time. What I can say is that I have not had to reboot this ever and once I had it dialed in I did not need to fiddle with it any after that.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thats good enough for me.With Ring i have to reboot something every single day and it still doesnt alert at times, even that the same day. I just canceled my ring protect plan. I ordered an Eufy. Hope to have a better experience.
The DOWN SIDE of Local Storage when there is a Robbery, the CRIMINALS will Also Can Take the Homebase Storage with them including items they want to Steal... .....it has happened in Cowetta County in GA this past Sunday on 4-10-22...... ......The Gun Range Robbery and 3-murdered of the Owners and grandson..... True and Very Sad story....😪
Current doorbell is located 90 degrees to the right of the door. Would like to use the power for Eufy doorbell but would this location be unsuitable for video surveillance?
Hard to say depends on what the 90 degree is facing in front of it. If it is something like a walk way it would be ok but if it is a wall you would only see people right at the door. I have seen plenty of other reviewers mount it like that and it works out.
The doorbell is not listed as being compatible with HomeKit. Is I compatible because of the Eufy Security APP and using the Homebase 2? Can the video show up on Apple TV using HomeKit? It is strange that the EufyCams are compatible.
That is odd, that was one of the big selling points that I saw listed for this when I did my review. you are right it is not listed there anymore. I wonder why. Sadly I can not test the use of HomeKit with this as I do not have any IOS devices.
The first of many reviews that really got my full attention because of the in depth quality. I also watched the raw clips. It seemed to me that in some cases the human detection was a little bit "late" such that I could not see the person clearly. I missed also your comment on night video quality (burglar recognition) and a reference to other "similar" devices as potential equivalent or better alternatives for some of the lesser performing features. Last remark: I noticed (also in reviews from others) that there's quite a bit useless air-view in the top part of the video. Is there not a possibility to make more efficient use of the video field and targeting the camera a bit lower or more efficiently? The adjustability of the viewing angle for most of these products seems very limited or not existing (especially for vertical direction). Btw: great and very clear review you did. Keep going! Thanks!
The only way to have a more useful field of view would to tilt the doorbell down some. As far as a know eufy does not offer this so you would have to fashion your own.
Hi, I am replacing my existing video doorbell with this one. The existing doorbell when triggered either by motion or when the doorbell is pressed, calls me through the app and I get a live feed on my phone. It looks like a videocall, so with just a finger swipe I have live view. Is there such an option with the eufy, or you can only get notifications (similar say to a facebook notification) ? Thanks.
So if it uses the ir sensor to detect motion and not pixels, I don't understand how it could make use of your detection zones. Does it even sense a car driving past your house? Or a person casing your house from the sidewalk, for example?
Doorbells like this use a PIR sensor, which is a heat base motion sensor. Think of it as a two step process the doorbell first must detect a heat signature before it wakes up and starts acting like a pixel based camera. Once it detects heat, then the detections zones will work.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thanks for the quick reply. What I was wondering about is, what is the range and/or field of view of the pir sensor. If you want your camera to also capture a car coming down the street will it detect it even if there's nothing close to the camera?
The home base is not the only thing that can charge the door bell. If you ahve a power brick with the correct cable you could charge the doorbell right from the wall.
Any idea on how to turn the doorbell on? I’ve set up the homebase and it’s asking me to press the sync button - I’ve done so and nothing happens? Left on charge for six hours and still nothing when I press the sync button 😞
When you pressed the sync button was the doorbell itself close to the base station? That is the issue I had and actually had to bring the doorbell closer before it worked.
@@13mowe I did buy one and it works well, but the distance in the actual install wound up not being very long for me. I haven't tested it to it's potential so i don't know what max range would be. I'd have to test it a bit to see
I have a question - because the battery is built and not removable, if the battery over time dies out that means a whole new doorbell will have to be bought - correct? How long does the built in battery will last before it die out?
The battery in this is good for a very long time. You can charge it around 500 times before you start seeing loss of battery life. Depending on how much movement you have around it a single charge can last well over a month.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you for your quick respond. Have you done a review on the Eufy hardwired, Lindo hardwired and if so can you link the video? With the Eufy hardwired is there a battery or is it completely installed hardwired, no battery. Thanks sooo much, Pam
@@pamelawalker9056 I have not tested either type of doorbell as a hardwired version. Sadly my home setup is better for battery powered versions. I had not heard of the Lindo brand before.
very satisfied with device. 1 exception. lots of trouble removing doorbell for recharge. I stuck the pin in but the unit did not pop off easily. Took quite some time and many attempts including a call to Eufy. Any tips to make this process easier.?
At 36:33, if you hardwired it; will there still be a delay on the 2-way communication? Also, if my base is downstairs and I am upstairs, can I communicate with my guests through my phone? I am confused when you said it communicate through the home base.
I just returned my Eufy. The motion detector would not pick up people walking right up the my door but did detect every car that passed in front of the house. It may have been just a bad unit but the customer support was so poor I don’t want to deal with them again. So back to the drawing board. Any suggestions?
Right now if I had to pick of the things I have reviewed I would go with Wyze cam Pro, or the eufy dual camera as that has a raidar sensor as well as the PIR sensor.
@@Ajith-JohnD I installed it at the recommended height. Their support was very poor, almost like it was AI without the I. I bought a Lindo 2-camera door cam and after some hiccups with the server has been working well.
I realize that your video is one year old. And during that last year I’ve owned this same doorbell. My review… It’s crap. I was charging the battery every 4 to 5 days. They claim up to 180 day battery life… they are nuts ! I did not have any unusual activity just a couple of people going in and out during the day and may be a delivery every other day. I replaced it with a 100% better LINDO dual camera doorbell. It is amazing‼️
@@Wanderer001_Reviews yes, i had zones. with minimal use. maybe i had a lemon. i corresponded with the company several times about it but the never offered to replace it. the Lindo that i have now has amazing battery life. No more frustrations.
@@corevette Thanks for letting me know. I am always out there looking for new things to try out. I don't limit myself to any one brand, so I am willing to try just about anything.
Hey mate. I bought the battery version of the eufy 2k doorbell cam that I’m looking to hardwire. I’m just not sure about my transformer as it was installed prob decades ago. It’s an Arlec Bell and Chime Transformer with 240V 50hz /5-16v 1A. Would this be sufficient to handle the doorbell or would i have to upgrade?
My older iphone SE cant seem to really "see'" the quality 2K high res video. I now have all the settings to low compression and low video quality and it makes no difference. Which is fine with me. i only need quick notification and decent video.I got that. Do you think a phone struggling with 2k hi res videos could be slow to notify when preparing this file? Does the doorbell notify when motion is detected or when the video is complete? That i don't understand. Overall, the Eufy2K works for me.
Someone may have already told you this but you can see battery life percentage by going to "settings" for each device and then clicking on "power manager." It will show you the percentage on that screen in the app.......
Something to keep in mind if it’s below freezing battery won’t recharge (lithium batteries do this) therefore you can technically run out of battery in the winter as it won’t recharge
If you already have the doorbell attached to your eufy app you do not need to re add it. If you wire this doorbell it is still the same doorbell all you would be doing is keeping the battery topped on via power.
What did you do when it said 'Homebase is added successfully" but the application it did not? (11mins 10sec). From there you went straight to showing your app on the phone can please describe what you did. Apart from that this video is absolutely fantastic!
When I went to go back and try and re-add the home base it wouldn't let me because it showed that it was already there. That's why I did not show it again. Realistically all I would have done is try to add it again. I've had some tech where I've had to try a few times to get something to attach to an app. It's commonplace.
If this was not a batery powered unit you could make it much harder for people to take it. But because it needs to come off the wall to be charged it is difficult to make it more secure.
Great review!! Would it be able record sound automatically upon human detection of the person outdoor or only when conversation is on-going between one indoor versus another outdoor then sound of the stranger would be capture?
It looks pretty much like this one but instead of a home base it has a digital chime box that will only connect the the doorbell. Unlike the home base which can have several differnet cameras linked to it.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews very nice. Yea i was just looking at a basic non online cloud based recording and the 2E was the one I checked out. Do you by chance know if the E have night vision too?
Hi, brillant review and very informative! I already bought the 2c pro cameras with the eufybase 2. All working fine! Then afterwards i bought the doorbell and it came with a chime. When i press the doorbell the eufybase 2 makes a ringing sound. Im just wondering should the separate chime that came with the device also make a sound? As of now it doesnt even though ive it plugged in and the green light is showing on the chime. It would be handy to plug in upstairs in case we didnt hear the eufybase 2 downstairs. Id love to get your advice. Thanks!
It sounds like you paird the doorbell to the home base and not the chime. I am not sure if you can pair it to both but go into your app and set up the chime with your account and when it asks you to attache a doorbell see if it will let you do the one that is already attached to the home base. I don't see why they would not let you do both. So it is worth a try.
The home base is where the clips are stored for this doorbell. The echo dot can act as a chime for it and the show 5 will let you look through the doorbell without using your phone, but your clips will have no where to go.

The lights that you're talking about are the IR night vision lights. Sadly with this model there is no way to turn them off.
Forgive me if I am wrong but someone can simply stole you doorbell with a simple mobile pin am i correct? Is this for real? they dont include a more secure mounting mechanism?
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.
I like it as a easly placed battery powered smart doorbell.

YOU MUST NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT AS CURRENTLY SUPPLIED. The problem with all 2K Eufy cams (this doorbell included) is that pressing and holding the reset/sync button deletes all associated video stored on the HomeBase (true!). On the cams, the button (ridiculously) is on the top, so very easy to access, on the doorbell, it is on the rear, so a touch trickier. Don't forget that burglars will simply swipe the cameras off your wall with a pole or wrench the doorbell from its mount to access these buttons. If they are more careful, they can wipe the vids without damaging the hardware and then, of course, steal the cameras. In fact, some may be tempted onto your property precisely, and only, to steal the cameras.... Burglars are as good at their 'job' as you are at yours. They will have a Eufy doorbell release key and they will, for sure, know about this major security hole. I have confirmation of this design flaw directly from Eufy support. They are currently stating October 2022 for a fix, but don't hold your breath. Video recording are NOT wiped by the reset method if you have a cloud subscription BUT, as most of us buy this system precisely to avoid such schemes, this will not appeal to many of you... In addition, the doorbell demo'd here does NOT support cloud storage, so it is not even a full fix even if you are tempted. Happy to supply June/July 2022 Eufy emails supporting these comments. I'm not sure a security camera that can be wiped by a burglar is 'fit for purpose' and I am certain that Eufy's failure to mention this problem in pre-sales is, by denying potential customers critical information for making an informed purchasing decision, a breach of UK consumer law (and, doubtless, elsewhere).
This relies on bad actors being in the know of what doorbell have this issue. Your simple smash and grab BNE are not going to know this. Also, if you have a video doorbell chances are you also have other cameras around your home.
Bruh…I was supposed to sleep 40 mins ago! Damn that was an in depth review. Thanks for that.
Lol sorry for the loss of sleep. I will consider adding a disclaimer at the start. 😊
brilliant video covers everything you need. new app is updated version but same features in different place. This video helps to set up what you need.
Thank you. That is the one issue with adding the app as part of the review. They change so fast you will always be playing catch up.
Love the bell (off bell storage, no subscription, proper video and sound quality).
Don’t love things like the battery usage.
After less than 1,5 year both are only working for a few days, even with motion detection off).
Connecting it to the old bell power, gives a horible static buzz (grounding).
Also the lens cover came off from both.
If the wifi signal in house is bad, so is the motion detection, and connection in general.
bought it, lovin' it, recommending it

Please do an in depth of the eufy camera system. Also one implementing a NAS system. Thank you
I will see what I can do.
A big fan of eufy but my experience of doorbell was phantom ringing when just outside the warranty period. Research showed a common issue and after trying all suggestions had to change to a ring doorbell which has been much more reliable.
I wish this had one camera to two hubs/chimes, where the second chime can be placed further into the house where you might not hear the first one
They do have other systems that might be a little closer to what you are looking for.
Great review. Torn between this and the new nest doorbell battery. The battery life and 2k features are a big plus and the AI recognition.
For me I am just not sure if I want to give Google anymore data on me. It is why I ended up not going with the nest smoke detector when Google was getting ready to buy them.
And you think EUFY whom are an Anker product which is a Chinese company won’t have data on you?
It is more about who you want to gu e your data to at this point.
I was racking my brain on how to make this item work and I found your video and it help me bunches...oh thank you, thank you thank you...I thought I was going to lose my mind because the darn thing didnt want to work with me.
Happy I was able to help you out.
I still had trouble bc my cell wasn't showing what his was. But figured it out. On the camera device, he had icons across the top, especially the sprocket. Mine didn't. But on the bottom right, mine has 3 dots, which then show snooze and sprocket. I don't have all the options his does, but at least I can do some settings.
Hey great review and I have purchased a couple and recommended to neighbours (neighbors) - however - the NEW 2K (dual camera) version appears to present a problem on removal.. I upgraded and sometime later found that the removal hole - on the bottom here - is suddenly no longer there! I suspect it has moved to the top, but that presents TWO issues: I mounted the doorbell under a lintel and used the same template BEFORE the upgarde to dual camera (oops) and second, without the removal hole on the bottom, people might think the OTHER holes there are to be poked. NO! I believe these are for the speaker and there will be resulting damage if the instruction for the older doorbell are followed. It is a great camera though - disgruntled - but still impressed - Manchester UK.
Yes I could see that as being an issue. Personally I do think the hole on top might actually be a little better as you should be able to see it without having to bend down to try and find the hole under this one. I can see when if upgrading you think the hole is still on the bottom that could creat issues.
Thanks for that info, I’ve just bought one and for the life of me couldn’t find that removal hole in the bottom, I was beginning to thing they had forgotten to punch one in at the factory 😊
I haven’t mounted it yet so rill check the top for it.
I've read that it stops recording after the doorbell is pressed? Is that correct? I've read about the delay as well.
It keeps recording. Tested it on my way out of the house this morning.
Great review! thanks and greetings form The Netherlands.
I am going international, pretty cool to know.
Awesome review! Very detailed and clearly presented!
is there no security screws? Someone could easily just take if off
There is a pin, but even with a screw most of these are not super secure. Someone that wants to could take it down.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I know but at least its secured in some way, rather then a clip on clip off, the pin sounds promising though, it gives it that extra security if someone does try, then it might deter them.
thanks for the response
@@jasonrobinson_ Yes, it is better then just clipping in. I have only tested on that screwed down and it felt just about the same as the pin option that this has.
If the battery powered doorbell has connection provision to wire it to your existing doorbell wires, what's the difference between models? 🥴🤪🙄 I was under the assumption that a 16 gig SD card could be swapped out from somewhere to a larger SD card. Also, if the doorbell itself is not wifi based but rather talks to the base station, the I'm left assuming that communication is bluetooth based. If so, what is the max distance between doorbell and base station. Thx
So big differances between wired not non wired: Wired has 3s Pre-buffer for video. Wired only have 4GB, On Doorbell storage, and can not take to home base. Wired comes with a digital chime. Wired is also only 1080p, not 2k like the battery doorbell. As for how the battery doorbell talked to the home base, it creates its own wifi network for the two to talk. So it is not directly sitting on your home wifi network.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you for fast reply. So, let me get this right. For the wired version, proximity from doorbell to wifi router is important for signal because it wont talk to the base station. Do I still get a base station? Why can the wired version talk to my home wifi but not to the base wifi??? 🥴 Can the strength of my existing wifi signal accurately be determined by simply checking my wifi signal at the doorbell location with a smartphone prior to purchase of the doorbell? Will wired version offer quicker ability to respond? Does eufy offer cloud storage of video in addition to the 4gigs? Does the wired version prevent me from connecting additional cameras? I know... lots of questions, but the more I learn the more questions I end up with. Sorry, and thanks again.
There is a monthly plan for cloud storage. It just seems as a way to kind of push peiple to the battery version as it can be wired to trickl charge. The base station can now be wireless so more options for placement in proximity to the doorbell itself.
Excellent review whilst providing comprehensive instructions for its use and operation. Well done sir.Thank you very much for your effort.
Happy to help.
Got the doorbell and two cameras and they do a good job
My battery is low on my Eufy doorbell, how do I recharge the battery??
There is a USB port on the back. It came with a charging cable that you plug into it to charge.
So I would have to remove my Doorbell that's hanging outside?
That is correct however it will only take about 3 hours to charge.
What do you do when your UV doorbell does not pair up to your ufi station
Hey thanks for the video. The alarm however is not good enough. Is there any way we can increase the sound of the alarm?
I was listening to another video about a dashcam for your car that claims to be 4K and 1080P for the rear. He compared this with other 4K dash cams and the comparison was roughly the same when it came to trying to make out something that should be visibly easy to read. He said something to this extent that maybe there using a upscaled version of 4k or maybe how they compress the pixels to try to get 4K which is watered down. I believe he is correct rather than the company coming out and saying that it is true native 4K. I feel that Eufy doesn't have true 2K cause I've tried it for myself where I was able to compare a 1080P camera vs 2K. I do see a ever so slight difference but not a night and day difference. I wonder if Eufy is hiding that or maybe its in small print. I love Eufy and its products cause its innovative and constantly trying to grow and expand but I feel its important that they keep clear transparency to its consumers
Well explained video got one today was so confused in choosing the right one big thank you
Happy this was able to help you.
So you cannot swap out the battery for another whilst charging it? instead you have to remove the ring bell from the mount? That's a definite negative, however having free local storage with remote access without the need for a subscription is a positive.
I will agree having to take it down to charge and not have a doorbell for a few hours is a negative, but for the most part one you can work around. Free local storage and remote access with person detection for free is a winner in my books.
Thanks for breaking it all down sir
Happy to help.
I am a little concerned how quick and easy it is to dismount from the bracket,I would have thought they would have locked it in there somehow?
The most you are going to have is either a pin release like this one or a pressure screw. Nothing that is really going to lock things in.
Slow processing. For events, they tend to be the back of a delivery person leaving. Somebody rings the doorbell and by the time it responds to the ring have walled down and answered the door then the event that finally shows is my back talking to the person.
Are you sure they are pressing the doorbell? I did find that the depending how fast or from what direction someone was coming from the PIR detection could be slower where I would see like you, someone walking away.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Detection is done through motion sensors, in addition, to actually ringing the doorbell. The problem isn't detection but in the delay in notification and connection.
@@ArnieD17 Ok, that is what I was trying to figure out. So the time between button press and notification is what is taking longer then expected. By the time you open the live feed you are seeing someones back.
This was the BEST! I am buying this thanks to all of your terrific informative video. Among the other cool benefits is that I can utilize my 4 Amazon Fire tablets and Echo that are throughout my 2 bedroom apartment. Great Job Wanderer!
Happy I was able to help.
Eufy is the best security camera ecosystem hands down.
I have been liking what I have seen so far. Even went out and got a few things of my own to test out mroe.
I don’t get it why no manufacturer is implementing the possibility to turn off the ring sound at specific times like nightime. Example : 11.45pm until 7.30am do not ring the bell ! My phones are on DND but what about the home base station?
It would be nice. With any luck that is a simple software update that could be pushed out at some time.
great review very well presented. can more than one phone be connected to the battery powered eufy doorbell?
Yes, they would just need to have the eufy app installed.
If the device inside the home is off.. the camera recorded or not?
If i lose internet connection the device save the data?
Yay! I’m going to try it in the doorbell frame for my apartment door.
Good use for this style of doorbell.
This doesn’t seem to have ‘“doormat area” image capture/recording ?
That is a different doorbell from eufy: th-cam.com/video/GHBDdLWs_xo/w-d-xo.html
Instead of a home base, can I buy a chime which has a feature to fix a 128 GB SD card? Clarify me, please? Thank you in advance
There is an option that has the chime. The only think I can see is it looks like that option is the 1080 version not the 2k. It seems that the 2k only works with the home base. But here is the other doorbell you can check out. us.eufy.com/products/e8222113?ref=navimenu_3_3_5_copy&fliter_category=video-doorbell
I am obviously confused because I'm sure I have seen "words" in advertising literature that implies you can access the Eufy doorbell from the internet to see who's calling and stored video. I know that the Eufy doorbell doesn't have a subscription model and hence no internet presence/connection. Is it possible to connect to the internet to view live or stored video.
Generally what this means is being able to access the camera feed and saved clips while not at home. To do this you would need a smart phone with access to data or wifi which can be considered connected to the internet. eufy does offer cloud storage of clips for a fee but it is not required to use this doorbell.
Great review .. best i have watched and i jave seen them all
Thank you very much.
A great video! I just bought this unit today. If I connect the wires, this means the battery is always charged. Right?
Yes it will always be topped off.
well, I bought that a month ago. it doesn't detect motion most a time, specially when I leave the house. it looks go off or idle mode and I need to ring it to wake the system up :( I am about to return it and maybe get a ring doorbell. or maybe switch from battery to wired one.
Have you increased the motion senitivity for it?
@@Wanderer001_Reviews yes I did. it is on extreme level now (5 out of5 )
Hi
I don't see any video showing how easily it can get stolen, what sort of anti-theft system does have in order to be easily to stop getting stolen then?
It's very common with doorbells like this that there is a little push pin they need a tool or an actual push pin to make it easily removable from your door. However anything that's not mounted down can easily be removed with enough effort.
Yes, very good and a plus for the ALEX-A idea... :) .
As much as I'd like to take credit for the renaming of Alexei that actually came from a twit podcast All About Android.
Hi, can i have this set up zo that when someone presses the doorbell it appears on my Samsung TV?
While I have not done this myself it does look like it is possible: us.eufy.com/blogs/security-camera/how-to-connect-security-camera-to-tv
Hi great review. Do you know if there is the options for multiple app users in the same household on different phones to access the same doorbell. Also do you know if there is an option to power the doorbell from a mains adapter? Are you aware of options for using the same app interface for more than one geographic location ie home & office? Thanks !!
Yes you can do this either by both using the same account or having two different accounts. You can only trickle charge the battery connecting this to a mains power. Your last question I am not sure about. If I understand correctly you could set up a "location" for home and work and set up cameras as part of either location and access them that way. I set up a home for myself and for the cameras I gave to my parents. Hope that helps.
Hi can I add my family members on to the account to use the camera at the same time. Thanks
There are two way you can do this. Either you give them your username and password for your Eufy account and they log in on their devices, or they can create their own Eufy accounts and you just share this doorbell with them that way. For how to share this will show you the section: th-cam.com/video/ne4dyWxkZT0/w-d-xo.html.
So I just won one of the eufy doorbell cam. do I need the base station
Yes the doorbell itself does not have any storage.
@Wanderer001_Reviews thx
Great review! I just have one dump question.. if for some reason there is a power outage the camera will be still on by the baterry power but any video will be not recorded ¿right?
Correct because the recordings are saved to the base station which needs power and a connection to the internet to function
@@Wanderer001_Reviews got it.. thank you!
Question :
Front the camera ... how many feet left and right does it see ?
Just trying to figure out where to stub out my wire . Thanks
About 40 feet depending on mounting.
Mine came without a base station - just a doorbell you plug in. So I'm a bit confused. Also my night vision is very poor as it has a ring in the image.
I did not know they had a stand alone for this one. I always thought it came bundled with the home base. Not sure when you mean by a doorbell you plug in.
Did you purchase the wired version? I know that comes with one you plug in, no hub needed apparently.
Sounds good, But is it reliable and work 100% as advertised for a long time? My Ring device was perfection when it worked but was totally unreliable. never got more than a day or 2 out of it before you had to reboot and do all kinds of adjustments. i dont want to repeat that.
I don't think anything can be 100% all the time. What I can say is that I have not had to reboot this ever and once I had it dialed in I did not need to fiddle with it any after that.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thats good enough for me.With Ring i have to reboot something every single day and it still doesnt alert at times, even that the same day. I just canceled my ring protect plan. I ordered an Eufy. Hope to have a better experience.
Simply question.Can gou connect it with few phones?
You can. Both my wife and I can access it on our phones
The DOWN SIDE of Local Storage when there is a Robbery, the CRIMINALS will Also Can Take the Homebase Storage with them including items they want to Steal...
.....it has happened in Cowetta County in GA this past Sunday on 4-10-22......
......The Gun Range Robbery and 3-murdered of the Owners and grandson.....
True and Very Sad story....😪
Current doorbell is located 90 degrees to the right of the door. Would like to use the power for Eufy doorbell but would this location be unsuitable for video surveillance?
Hard to say depends on what the 90 degree is facing in front of it. If it is something like a walk way it would be ok but if it is a wall you would only see people right at the door. I have seen plenty of other reviewers mount it like that and it works out.
Thanks@@Wanderer001_Reviews It's facing a walkway so not impeded by a wall. Will give it a try.
The doorbell is not listed as being compatible with HomeKit. Is I compatible because of the Eufy Security APP and using the Homebase 2? Can the video show up on Apple TV using HomeKit? It is strange that the EufyCams are compatible.
That is odd, that was one of the big selling points that I saw listed for this when I did my review. you are right it is not listed there anymore. I wonder why. Sadly I can not test the use of HomeKit with this as I do not have any IOS devices.
The first of many reviews that really got my full attention because of the in depth quality. I also watched the raw clips. It seemed to me that in some cases the human detection was a little bit "late" such that I could not see the person clearly. I missed also your comment on night video quality (burglar recognition) and a reference to other "similar" devices as potential equivalent or better alternatives for some of the lesser performing features. Last remark: I noticed (also in reviews from others) that there's quite a bit useless air-view in the top part of the video. Is there not a possibility to make more efficient use of the video field and targeting the camera a bit lower or more efficiently? The adjustability of the viewing angle for most of these products seems very limited or not existing (especially for vertical direction). Btw: great and very clear review you did. Keep going! Thanks!
The only way to have a more useful field of view would to tilt the doorbell down some. As far as a know eufy does not offer this so you would have to fashion your own.
Hi, I am replacing my existing video doorbell with this one. The existing doorbell when triggered either by motion or when the doorbell is pressed, calls me through the app and I get a live feed on my phone. It looks like a videocall, so with just a finger swipe I have live view. Is there such an option with the eufy, or you can only get notifications (similar say to a facebook notification) ? Thanks.
On Andorid at least it comes in like your Facbook notification. You will need to click on it and the get into the app before you will see a live feed.
So if it uses the ir sensor to detect motion and not pixels, I don't understand how it could make use of your detection zones. Does it even sense a car driving past your house? Or a person casing your house from the sidewalk, for example?
Doorbells like this use a PIR sensor, which is a heat base motion sensor. Think of it as a two step process the doorbell first must detect a heat signature before it wakes up and starts acting like a pixel based camera. Once it detects heat, then the detections zones will work.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thanks for the quick reply. What I was wondering about is, what is the range and/or field of view of the pir sensor. If you want your camera to also capture a car coming down the street will it detect it even if there's nothing close to the camera?
@@bergfpv6486 Rage would be about 20-30 feet.
Great video! can you please confirm which is synced to the router first? the doorbell or the base unit, regards
Home base first, then doorbell.
If the battery runs flat, this device can be charged using the home base? And it can be solely power by the home base?
The home base is not the only thing that can charge the door bell. If you ahve a power brick with the correct cable you could charge the doorbell right from the wall.
If I have a power failure waht do I have to do. Do I have to reinstall. or will it re set itself when power returns.
It well reconnect itself once power is resorted.
Any idea on how to turn the doorbell on? I’ve set up the homebase and it’s asking me to press the sync button - I’ve done so and nothing happens? Left on charge for six hours and still nothing when I press the sync button 😞
When you pressed the sync button was the doorbell itself close to the base station? That is the issue I had and actually had to bring the doorbell closer before it worked.
I'd be very interested to know what the effective range of the base station to the doorbell is. How far apart can they be?
Stated 300ft with no obstructions, so figure half of that because of walls.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thanks very much - that's been missing from all the reviews and it's kind of important
Very true.
@@Foxer604 have you bought one ? I have the same, long distance is needed . How did you get on if you did
@@13mowe I did buy one and it works well, but the distance in the actual install wound up not being very long for me. I haven't tested it to it's potential so i don't know what max range would be. I'd have to test it a bit to see
I have a question - because the battery is built and not removable, if the battery over time dies out that means a whole new doorbell will have to be bought - correct? How long does the built in battery will last before it die out?
The battery in this is good for a very long time. You can charge it around 500 times before you start seeing loss of battery life. Depending on how much movement you have around it a single charge can last well over a month.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you for your quick respond. Have you done a review on the Eufy hardwired, Lindo hardwired and if so can you link the video?
With the Eufy hardwired is there a battery or is it completely installed hardwired, no battery.
Thanks sooo much,
Pam
@@pamelawalker9056 I have not tested either type of doorbell as a hardwired version. Sadly my home setup is better for battery powered versions. I had not heard of the Lindo brand before.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews ohhh. Thank you again soo much for the quick respond.
Hello did you make a video on defence mode on Eufy app
Not at this time. But I can add it to a list of videos.
very satisfied with device. 1 exception. lots of trouble removing doorbell for recharge. I stuck the pin in but the unit did not pop off easily. Took quite some time and many attempts including a call to Eufy. Any tips to make this process easier.?
I have found that I need to lightly pull the doorbell from the mount as I use the key to remove it.
So whether using battery or hardwired, there's video recording?
There is no continuous video recording. You can get movement clips and button press clips.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews before I pull the trigger, either battery options give me the movement and button press short video clips?
@@1uP-v2 That is correct.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you!
At 36:33, if you hardwired it; will there still be a delay on the 2-way communication? Also, if my base is downstairs and I am upstairs, can I communicate with my guests through my phone? I am confused when you said it communicate through the home base.
I just returned my Eufy. The motion detector would not pick up people walking right up the my door but did detect every car that passed in front of the house. It may have been just a bad unit but the customer support was so poor I don’t want to deal with them again. So back to the drawing board. Any suggestions?
Right now if I had to pick of the things I have reviewed I would go with Wyze cam Pro, or the eufy dual camera as that has a raidar sensor as well as the PIR sensor.
Your door bell height is reason pink up car instead people
@@Ajith-JohnDThat might be the case but I did put it in at the level my other ones had been at.
@@Ajith-JohnD I installed it at the recommended height. Their support was very poor, almost like it was AI without the I. I bought a Lindo 2-camera door cam and after some hiccups with the server has been working well.
Yes this is a great doorbell security love it
I realize that your video is one year old. And during that last year I’ve owned this same doorbell. My review… It’s crap. I was charging the battery every 4 to 5 days. They claim up to 180 day battery life… they are nuts ! I did not have any unusual activity just a couple of people going in and out during the day and may be a delivery every other day. I replaced it with a 100% better LINDO dual camera doorbell. It is amazing‼️
Did you create any motion zones or play with the sensitivity? I gave this doorbell to my parents. They still use it to this day.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews yes, i had zones. with minimal use. maybe i had a lemon. i corresponded with the company several times about it but the never offered to replace it. the Lindo that i have now has amazing battery life. No more frustrations.
@@corevette Thanks for letting me know. I am always out there looking for new things to try out. I don't limit myself to any one brand, so I am willing to try just about anything.
So you just need a 2 mm prong of some sort to remove(nick) the doorbell?
Which is an extra step that other video doorbells don't have.
Hey mate. I bought the battery version of the eufy 2k doorbell cam that I’m looking to hardwire. I’m just not sure about my transformer as it was installed prob decades ago. It’s an Arlec Bell and Chime Transformer with 240V 50hz /5-16v 1A. Would this be sufficient to handle the doorbell or would i have to upgrade?
As you would only be trickle charging the battery of the camera that should be fine.
Thanks for this review! Can you access/download the footage stored on the homebase on your phone when you're away from home/not connected to the wifi?
You can as long as your phone has data.
My older iphone SE cant seem to really "see'" the quality 2K high res video. I now have all the settings to low compression and low video quality and it makes no difference. Which is fine with me. i only need quick notification and decent video.I got that. Do you think a phone struggling with 2k hi res videos could be slow to notify when preparing this file? Does the doorbell notify when motion is detected or when the video is complete? That i don't understand. Overall, the Eufy2K works for me.
It could, you can try setting it to just send you a text notifications. That would speed things up.
Someone may have already told you this but you can see battery life percentage by going to "settings" for each device and then clicking on "power manager." It will show you the percentage on that screen in the app.......
Yes I did make a notation that you could find the battery life on a different page I just wish it was on the main screen.
Something to keep in mind if it’s below freezing battery won’t recharge (lithium batteries do this) therefore you can technically run out of battery in the winter as it won’t recharge
Very ture.
If i have amazon alexa hub and lights connect to this hub can this device turn lights on when someone push the doorbell button?
Not natively you have to come up with an if this then that scenario to do something like that.
You can set up a routine in the Alexa App to do exactly that
@@MrCcarcher Like I said you can not do it nativly thought he eufy app.
can I make this battery powered to Wired?? do i have to re-add the doorbell under wired version?
If you already have the doorbell attached to your eufy app you do not need to re add it. If you wire this doorbell it is still the same doorbell all you would be doing is keeping the battery topped on via power.
What did you do when it said 'Homebase is added successfully" but the application it did not? (11mins 10sec). From there you went straight to showing your app on the phone can please describe what you did. Apart from that this video is absolutely fantastic!
When I went to go back and try and re-add the home base it wouldn't let me because it showed that it was already there. That's why I did not show it again. Realistically all I would have done is try to add it again. I've had some tech where I've had to try a few times to get something to attach to an app. It's commonplace.
Do you have any idea how we could secure it not to be stolen?
If this was not a batery powered unit you could make it much harder for people to take it. But because it needs to come off the wall to be charged it is difficult to make it more secure.
Great review!! Would it be able record sound automatically upon human detection of the person outdoor or only when conversation is on-going between one indoor versus another outdoor then sound of the stranger would be capture?
It will capture audio once movement is detected as long as you have this setting turned on.
Woo amazing review!!! Uuhhhh-mazingggg 👌🏻! I just ordered mine but picked up the 2k floodlight from best buy!!!
Happy to help. I was so impressed with the eufy stuff I was given to test I actually went out and purchased the Solar powered 2k outdoor camera.
Hey - is this camera fine with Samsung phones? I read the google camera had issues.
Yes, you should not have any issues with a Samsung phone.
Do you know anything about the 2E model T8221?
It looks pretty much like this one but instead of a home base it has a digital chime box that will only connect the the doorbell. Unlike the home base which can have several differnet cameras linked to it.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews very nice. Yea i was just looking at a basic non online cloud based recording and the 2E was the one I checked out. Do you by chance know if the E have night vision too?
@@FlipSideGarage From what I can see it does.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you. Awesome video btw
Hi, brillant review and very informative! I already bought the 2c pro cameras with the eufybase 2. All working fine! Then afterwards i bought the doorbell and it came with a chime. When i press the doorbell the eufybase 2 makes a ringing sound. Im just wondering should the separate chime that came with the device also make a sound? As of now it doesnt even though ive it plugged in and the green light is showing on the chime. It would be handy to plug in upstairs in case we didnt hear the eufybase 2 downstairs. Id love to get your advice. Thanks!
It sounds like you paird the doorbell to the home base and not the chime. I am not sure if you can pair it to both but go into your app and set up the chime with your account and when it asks you to attache a doorbell see if it will let you do the one that is already attached to the home base. I don't see why they would not let you do both. So it is worth a try.
Thank you for the great video . Does the home kit box works as a chime also
That I am not sure of. I do not have home kit to test out.
How fast can you view the video recording on the home base after the motion detector sets off?
Depends on a few factors but I can general start seeing video 5-15 seconds after a motion trigger.
Which is better Eufy, Ring doorbell 4, or Alto
My personal opinion is eufy, just based on what you get without the need for a subscription.
What a fantastic review!!!
Absolutely fantastic review. Thank you. Tell me, is there an option to turn off base station chime, say 8 to 4 on weekdays?? Working from home.
Right now there is not. You can only snoze it for a set time the day of. No repeating schedule.
Hi can this door bell camera work without the base station? Thanks
It can not.
I'd like to get this product but my hang-up is setting up cursed WiFi to get it to work on my phone.
do you need the home base? i´ve echo Dot and echo show5 , so i think i dont need the home base.!
The home base is where the clips are stored for this doorbell. The echo dot can act as a chime for it and the show 5 will let you look through the doorbell without using your phone, but your clips will have no where to go.
Wondering if you found a settings to rotate the video feed?
Have not, even with an update to the app.
