Works well and it’s cheaper than the battery only ? This one uses both battery and hard wired

I’ve been using the eufy S330 video doorbell since June, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. The 2K video quality is fantastic—crisp, detailed, and reliable day or night. I love that it offers dual motion detection and package recognition, which cuts down on unnecessary alerts while making sure I never miss a delivery.One of the biggest selling points for me was no monthly subscription fees. Everything is stored locally and secure, and I still get all the smart features you’d expect from a top-tier doorbell. Setup was simple and the battery life has been excellent—I’ve only had to charge it once since installing it.The facial recognition feature is surprisingly accurate and helps easily distinguish family members from visitors. If you’re looking for a smart doorbell with premium features without recurring costs, this one is a no-brainer. Highly recommend!

Great product for your smart door bell solution.

Having changed from ring to eufy doorbell I feel this has been a downgrade. Battery life only a couple of weeks and goes offline constantly which was never an issue with the ring. Both doorbells were placed in the same location both battery power source. Very disappointed

This is a very impressive doorbell camera. I purchased this Eufy Security Doorbell Camera when my Wemo doorbell camera just stopped working after a year ☹️. However, I like my new Eufy soooo much better. The Eufy notifies my phone when it detects movement and it is excellent at distinguishing between a delivery, a person waiting for me to answer the door or just movement and pushes a notification to my phone telling me which of these scenarios it has detected. This is very useful because I can open the app and speak to someone waiting at the door but can ignore other notifications until it is convenient to look at them. The second camera that is angled down keeps any eye on my packages until I can collect them, the old Wemo could not see any packages after they were placed on the steps. The Eufy was extremely easy to install - it literally took me 5 minutes - and it comes with an optional wedge to help you angle the camera if your old doorbell is off to the side of your door like mine. The Eufy app is ridiculously easy to use and stores your videos for free - no paying for a subscription 👏!!! It will also work flawlessly with Apple’s Home app. While I hardwired my camera, I have two Eufy cameras that run on rechargeable batteries and I have been very impressed with the battery life and performance in extreme temperatures so I am confident that the battery on this doorbell camera would be equally impressive. Overall, I am really impressed with Eufy products and feel that this company is the gold standard in home surveillance. If you need to mount your doorbell on vinyl siding this little mounting block is useful: https://www.amazon.com/Siding-Mounting-Blocks-130110006002-Octagon/dp/B0BWDQ217C/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2II7VVBLX8B7U&keywords=siding+plate+for+light+fixture&qid=1694455918&sprefix=Siding+pla%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-9

I’ve had multiple models and brands of video doorbell- this is the best one yet. It detects motion only generated by people, provides fast notifications, can be tailored with multiple distance settings plus activity zones, smart person detection, and works with my existing doorbell. (There have been multiple models that did not make my existing doorbell ring). It does not suffer from detection of cars and people outside the activity zones (sidewalk next to the street) and does not have multiple “motion alerts” caused by wind moving plants around (One doorbell would announce every passing car as a motion alert). As an unexpected bonus, it detects, records, and messages “packages being dropped off”, reminds you if you forgot to pick the package up by a certain time like 8pm, and tells you when “package has been picked up” and records that event. The dual camera works well and records both views at the same time- I had another brand with this and liked it. This one you can even set the area to be scanned for packages. The unit is a bit bulky-the included angle mount cuts down a little on the mounted footprint but this is still tall, wide, and sticks out / deep.Achieving what you might consider core functionality without frustrating errors (no car in street alerts, no wind driven motion alerts like my flag, doorbell really rings) was a nice change. Doing this without storing on a cloud, without a subscription fee, without sharing with law enforcement, and making intelligent ai detection of people (sometimes) and packages (almost always) “on device” is outstanding. Love the “you forgot to collect your package” option.Sometimes it will message a person as “motion” and not specifically a “human” esp if they don’t stop, like when we go in and out of our own house. Since there are no false motion alerts due to wind etc I can trust that motion alerts are people and ignore the fact that it doesn’t label the event as a person. And you might want to adjust or turn off the loitering announcement that is on by default- I disabled the voice prompt but kept the notifications.The packaging & labeling from eufy was a bit confusing between “wired” and “battery”- the battery version I bought works wired with my old doorbell chime and is powered by that wiring. From the app it appears there is a battery being charged by the doorbell wiring. The eufy website suggests there is a wired version but at that time I didn’t see how to order that from amazon with the required homebase2 so I purchased the “add on” dual camera which meant I had to purchase homebase 2 separately. And you do need a eufy homebase for this to be setup and work, it is not optional. The “kit” version comes with a chime, not the required homebase. If you want to, you can setup the homebase 2 to ring like a doorbell chime when the doorbell button is pressed so I don’t think you would normally need the kit they sell with the chime. When updating this I see there is now a separate wired dual cam amazon listing which may be what you want- but regardless be sure to order a homebase 2.

Im on the fence about this.The first week was great and camera works really well. But now there are pop up ads when i open the eufy security app, and having paid $400 for a premium doorbell cam that prides itself in not having subscription fees, it is disappointing to see pop up ads when you open the app. Im not talking promotions on the explore tab hidden away, im talking a splash page ad that you cant avoid and have to close in order to view your footage.If the ads don’t disappear i have no choice but to refund this and go with another company. I will update this review if the situation changes.*edit:So after contacting eufy support, they apologized and told me they have removed my email from ads, (your email is used to sign up fir a eufy account, that is then used for the system)The ads have since disappeared. Upgrading this to a 5 star review, dual camera is innovative and solid. Contact eufy to remove yourself from ads and this cam is 5stars.
