eufy Security Video Doorbell Camera E340 (Battery Powered), Dual Cameras with Delivery Guard, 2K Full HD and Color Night Vision, HomeBase S380 Compatible, No Monthly Fee

This video doorbell is amazing!! I have had this doorbell for several months and it works great! I can easily see both people and my packages with the dual camera set up. It is even able to tell me if it detects a person or package and that differentiation has been very accurate. The night vision feature works great for viewing motion events that take after dark. All of the video is very clear.The video doorbell was easy to install and the app is very intuitive. The doorbell seamlessly connected to my WiFi and has maintained that connection. I love that I do not need to pay a subscription to view the past video history. Thus far the storage that comes with it has been plenty but Eufy offers a home gateway if I ever need more local storage. I highly recommend this video doorbell!!

'eufy' Video Doorbell E340 (Battery Powered) – Model: T8214'eufy' MiniBase Chime – Model: T8023 (Security Video Doorbell E340 Add-On Indoor Chime)Anker Innovations Co., Ltd., commonly known as 'Anker', is a Chinese electronics manufacturer based in Changsha, Hunan, China. It was founded in 2011 and maintains subsidiaries in Japan, Singapore, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Anker is the owner of the 'eufy' brand name (with a small 'e'), that debuted in 2016, primarily known for its RoboVac robotic vacuums. 'eufy' launched its home security products in 2018 and the brand is now well known for its wide range of security products and services. Like its parent Anker brand, 'eufy' cuts out the middleman, selling via Amazon and directly from its own website.With all the TV commercials about security video doorbell cameras, I decided I wanted one. Before purchasing, I went to Best Buy so I could inspect the different video doorbell cameras — Ring, Nest, Arlo, Blink, 'eufy', and others — because I did not want to rely on just what I saw on television or internet video or read about. I chose 'eufy' primarily because of my perception of the quality of the device in comparison to the others and also because of its battery option and freedom from subscription. I chose to buy on Amazon because its service and pricing are excellent and beyond compare, which is why I am an Amazon Prime subscriber. I purchased the bundled 'eufy' Security Video Doorbell E340 – Model: T8214' and the 'eufy' MiniBase Chime – Model: T8023' (Security Video Doorbell E340 Add-On Indoor Chime). The 'eufy' Security Video Doorbell E340 is dual enabled to be either Wired or Battery Powered, your choice: Choose battery mode for easy installation or choose wired mode to eliminate charging altogether. I chose the battery setup. Although it comes with a quick-release battery pack, a backup battery is available as a separate purchase, and recommended as a spare for quick swaps to avoid downtime due to charging.In my opinion, on inspecting the 'eufy' Video Doorbell E340, the look of the design and the feel of its construction indicate that it is evidently manufactured with high-quality materials and components; the device has a substantial feel. The manufacturing assembly is flawless. Holding the devices, I felt the other manufacturer's builds were more plastic and less substantial. About the technology, I relied on what I read. Also, I read reviews about the difference in the various manufacturers employment of camera technology. It is a matter of debatable science, but I chose to believe 'eufy's' technology is excellent. As for privacy, I am not concerned about Anker 'eufy' being a Chinese manufacturer or that their devices might spy on me. I am pleased with the Anker 'eufy' Security product.After installing the 'eufy' App (Version v4.8.2_2005 Updated Mar 8, 2024) on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone (running One UI 6 Android 14), the 'eufy' App presents a QR code to be scanned by the 'eufy' Video Doorbell E340 camera to pair the camera to my Wi-Fi router. I had some difficulty in pairing my 'eufy' Battery-powered Video Doorbell E340 to my Netgear Nighthawk gigabit Wi-Fi Cable Modem Router because I did not know that the 'eufy' doorbell E340 cannot connect directly to a Wi-Fi network. A HomeBase is required, and it must be setup and paired before pairing the doorbell. I purchased the 'eufy' MiniBase Chime add-on for the E340 doorbell and still needed assistance in pairing the devices with my Wi-Fi. Telephoning customer support was immediately rewarding, with a real live intelligent person.Routers typically broadcast Wi-Fi networks in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. In order to set up your 'eufy' Security devices successfully, be sure you select the SSID that indicates it is a 2.4 GHz network. Your smartphone has a setting to enable you to see the Wi-Fi frequency. If your router has the same Wi-Fi network name for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi bands, your 'eufy' Security device will automatically connect to the 2.4GHz band. Pairing the MiniBase and the Video Doorbell isn't so straight forward. For this I needed personal instruction. I'm not technologically astute.My experience with Anker – 'eufy' Customer Support was excellent. The Customer Support Team was professional and conscientious. Well-trained and knowledgeable, they diligently devoted all the time needed on the phone, patiently, caringly and courteously talking me through the connection procedure. I first paired the MiniBase Chime to my Netgear Nighthawk Wi-Fi Router's 2.4 GHz frequency using the 'eufy' App. My Wi-Fi router confirmed its 2.4 GHz connection to the 'eufy' App, and the 'eufy' App confirmed its connection to the MiniBase Chime.Then I paired the 'eufy' Video Doorbell E340 with my Wi-Fi router through the 'eufy' App by using the video doorbell camera to scan the QR code produced by the 'eufy' App. This didn't go as expected. It didn't pair with my router, it paired with the MiniBase Chime. The 'eufy' App chain of connection first connects the base to the Wi-Fi and then the doorbell to the base. The doorbell doesn't appear in my router's list of connected devices; the router only shows that the base is connected. However, the doorbell functions as it should. I get a live feed video on my 'eufy' App. The vision on the App is very clear. When the doorbell button is pressed, the MiniBase Chime rings; so does my phone. I can talk and hear through the App. The connection procedure progressed as it should. Order and method are essential. The connection procedure progressed perfectly, thanks to the technical expertise of the 'eufy' support engineers talking me through each step.'eufy' Security Customer Support was admirably and commendably tireless. Their dedication was resolute. They did not give up, and were extremely patient with my lack of technical knowledge. I could not be more pleased. My Anker 'eufy' Security Video Doorbell is a prestigious addition to the technology in my home. It works, and it is awesome!

Loving this video doorbell. I bought a new build home and it came with an video doorbell that would only work if I paid for a pricey subscription. The video is clear and the second camera pointing down is excellent! I also like that i get a notification that the package was delivered but also it tells me when someone moves it/picks it up. Great job Eufy!Installation was too dang easy. It works both with battery, or using existing wiring (which I used the wired).

Great doorbell and it works 90% of the time but there's a few flaws with the productPRO:- Very clear video with 2K video- Easy to install instructions- Easy to use- Integrates well with the bay station- Pre-records (when setup) flawlessCONS:- Doesn't capture video all the time. I find it doesn't always record, I have another Eufy camera and it recorded images where this one didn't in a few occassions- It needs to be reset (removed battery) and put back in every 6 months of so. (Emailed Eufy on bug, no answer yet except automated responses)

Great product so far. Very clear pictures/video easy install and use. Love how it is WiFi no monthly cost. The motion detections great and sound is good. The range is also good I can see my driveway and side entrance too I love how I see right in front of the door as well.

This is really clear, easy to use and no subscription doorbell camera. I honestly can’t say enough about it.The familiar faces “ai” is nice since it’s all local and not on some server farm along with all your videos stored locally that gives you immediate live view that’s lag free when motion is detected.Setting up with a chime that was installed literal decades ago was painless.You have the option to get a sub but they aren’t forcing you which might make me a fan for life if all other eufy products are like this as wellAbout setup. If you’re using a newer IPhone AND a mesh network you’ll need to lower the 5ghz band radio power -typically through the web portal not an app, turn off WiFi on your phone, forget your network, reboot your mesh network then connect and do the app linking set up scan process. You can’t disable 5ghz on an iPhone so you might run into setup issues since these things use 2.4ghz and isn’t a Eufy issue but another instance of Apple not letting you do things you want :)

This security system is really nice I bought the whole system it works really good the cameras are on point the ring camera works perfectly it's well worth the price I bought the whole system it's cheaper than buying it from the security company I like it it's worth every dime high quality pictures works really good.
