I honestly think eufy killing it. Affordable, no hidden fees, free safe local storages, super easy installation and all eufy quality to even video quality isn't that bad at all. All mine eufy going past 3 years now and still going strong.
Thank you for demonstrating the delay of pushing notifications. I am also wondering how much the delay, if any, for starting the recording once a motion is detected.
❤❤❤ thank you 🙏… i fix my doorbell connection because of this video, without watching your video many times i tried and talk the help support I can’t fixed.. your video help me without the help support.. again thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks for your videos, really been enjoying your security setup videos. I'm looking to have a similar setup so I'm curious if you can do a video or share advice on how your home network may be set up to avoid network congestion or security issues. Thanks!
I've had one of these for over a year and it's great, and I use mine with battery power only. Eufy has the best line of cameras on the market, I don't know why Arlo and Nest get so much hype by comparison.
@@DoItYourselfDad You got that right. I feel like most tech reviewers are on the take with Arlo and Nest because I rarely ever hear anyone talk about any Eufy products. Eufy never even makes any top 10 lists.
@@DoItYourselfDad I just bought two more yesterday for my mom's house, I don't know if Eufy has stock to buy, but if they are publicly traded I'd buy now.
My apartment came with a eufy video doorbell that set up and worked just fine when I moved in. But, once I had upgraded and changed my wifi, it now won't connect without having a home base or wifif chime. Is that normal? I didn't need one to set it up the first time.
which specific model did you use? i'm trying to see which of eufy's model will actually ring the mechanical chime. i have been emailing support for 2 weeks now and they are still giving me confusing information. they say NONE of the wired 2k cameras will ring the mechanical chime, only their homebase/wifi chime and if i do want to use the mechanical chime i need the BATTERY 2k. can you comment about this?
Idk been looking at these and have an older ring here it's a tank literally dropped it from 2nd story still works battery lasts months so maybe it's worth just upgrading to a newer and paying the $10 subscription 🤨🤔
Could you do a video on taking your eufy cam pro 2 like someone is “stealing it” to see how quick the alarm goes off please I think it would be really interesting to see how it works! Thanks
I have this 2k door bell camera. Can anyone tell why occasionally my door bell rings but no one is there. Now don’t tell me chosts. I’ve noticed it happens about a day later after someone has rang it. Any suggestions ?? TIA
Can you also wire the bell for power only, whith removing the existing chime and use the station as a bell. Or do i need a fixed wired chime to make sure that the bell is powered? thx
man you were so close to actually show how the 2 way talk works, but you stopped after pressing the button. Ive been searching for a video that shows an example of the popup on the app to show how to accept a ring. Nobody films it, all reviewers skip over it, but in my opinion is just as important as the whole recording.
I picked a Eufy doorbell thinking this is the future no subscription GREAT you might think. Yet after 12 months the sound stops then after a new phone it wont install the software for the door camera on my old phone or new phone. The technical have a problem with the doorbell not pleased at all. The support is rubbish.
If there is a power outage, does it continue to record since it has a battery? Assuming the home base and wifi will also be out during a power outage, will the camera record and then upload the video to home base once power is restored?? Also if there is backup power to the homebase and wifi, but we have a power outage (aka doorbell will be working off the battery), i assume it will continue to work as normal? Thank you!! Great video!!
If the power goes out you would still need power to the home base. I have my Homebase powered with a USP for that reason. It will continue to record even if your Wi-Fi goes down though.
Euft sent me a link to your video as their version of actual tech support. I have a different version of their doorbell and their setup instructions are completely different: set up the chime, then set up the doorbell (which then asks you to set up the chime again). Their tech support is terrible. It's been five days over email and two online chat sessions and there is still no solution offered, except watch your video about a different product.
Very helpful video. Do you have any recommendations regarding height placement with the eufy? I kinda felt yours was placed a little on the low side, but maybe that's the idea: to capture everything on your porch, etc. Very new to this stuff, so pardon my ignorance.
It really depends on your application. If you place them too high, you get the tops of heads and not faces, too low and you risk them getting tampered with. Ideally I’d want them just out of reach, but at an angle that you’d be able to make out someone’s face. Sometimes, like my front door, that isn’t possible. The one over my driveway is around 10ft off the ground and that seems to be about the highest Id want it.
Hello, I am currently testing a video doorbell, but will probably return it due to latency issues. It’s too slow. However, it’s head to toe view is great and I can see top to bottom when the person is at the door. I can see packages left right at the door. I’m leaning towards this Eufy and want to know about it’s views. How much can you see of the person at the door?
If you really wanna wide view, wait a few weeks. Eufy’s is coming out with a new doorbell with two cameras on it which gives it in extremely wide view. I should actually have it on the channel in a few weeks as well.
It looks like it does, they made them to show the doorstep (so it could see packages) and also see high enough to ID people. I should have mine setup soon so I’ll let you know.
Liked the video....but you begin by saying you're installing the battery version....this video demonstrates installing the wired version. I'm wanting to do what you did....keep my existing "dumb" wired bell. Thanks thou.....nice details.
This is the battery version, it can be wired up to the doorbell wiring and your existing chime will still work. If you use the non-battery version you have to run a jumper in the chime which bypasses it and disables the chime.
No subscription fees sounds great until your camera malfunctions after a year and Eufy customer support refuses to do anything about it. That’s exactly what happened to me and several others that have written similar reviews. Out the money and camera. Really wish Eufy/Anker would help their customers out instead of leaving them out to dry. Be wary when looking to purchase one of these cameras!

Great tip about the alternating current. I was wondering which wire went where.
Thank you for demonstrating the delay of pushing notifications. I am also wondering how much the delay, if any, for starting the recording once a motion is detected.
That run to the base station during setup, I feel you there.
😂

I love mine, also I love that they also have cameras, locks, alarm systems etc that all work together. Someone Arlo and Nest don’t have.
@@DoItYourselfDad You got that right. I feel like most tech reviewers are on the take with Arlo and Nest because I rarely ever hear anyone talk about any Eufy products. Eufy never even makes any top 10 lists.
I switched over from a couple other manufacturers and never looked back. I’m hooked on Eufy’s stuff now.
@@DoItYourselfDad I just bought two more yesterday for my mom's house, I don't know if Eufy has stock to buy, but if they are publicly traded I'd buy now.
Agreed! I’m actually gonna be installing a doorbell at my parents house this weekend.
Thanks for this! When connected to wire, does it also power it or still uses its own battery (meaning this would still need to be charged by users)?
It does trickle charge it, so you should't have to recharge it.
@@DoItYourselfDad thank you!

Thanks for this very informative video! Would this be a good starting point for a larger system or should Eufy cameras etc be installed first?
Yes, definitely. I should have installed this before my cameras. I now have a camera and a doorbell looking at the same thing.
which is faster notification, thru the base or directlly thru the WiFi

Great review! I'm wondering since you are wiring the doorbell anyways, would the wired version be a better option?
I went with this option because I wanted my chime to work. With the wired one the chime is disabled.
Very detailed, thank YOU
Hello, I'm having trouble reconnecting my eufy doorbell, I can only connect the homebase

So there's no chime on the base station?
There is, you can set it up to use the existing chime, the base station, or both.
I have eufy and super happy 👌
You could say I’m an addict…. 😂
Not so happy you removed the base station from you video. That one gives me trouble upon installing...
I have other videos showing base station installation. What are you having trouble with?
What kind of drill bit and size did you use to drill into the stucco wall? Thanks
Ideally you would want to use a masonry bit .

@@DoItYourselfDad Hello, checking if you've had a chance to test the new Eufy doorbell with two cameras.
How did you mount it?
Screws into the side of the house.
Liked the video....but you begin by saying you're installing the battery version....this video demonstrates installing the wired version. I'm wanting to do what you did....keep my existing "dumb" wired bell. Thanks thou.....nice details.

How to install with old bell
Amazing!!

Plz make vedio with old bell

why cant it go 5 ghz wifi connection?
5ghz is faster but lacks range and penetration which is why a lot of these devices don’t use it or are dual band.
i follow the instruction. but no power.
Do you have a multimeter to check the connections at the doorbell?
Is it wireless
This particular one you can wire up to your existing doorbell, or mount it to the wall and run it off the battery wirelessly
Has anyone had the P2P connection error?
This isn’t wireless is it :(
Eufy has both wired and wireless, check for their "battery doorbell"
That is si slooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Can u pair 2 fones to the doorbell?
Yes you czn
No unboxing you dooooooooooooooooooooooooooouche? Thumbs down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
