eufy Security Video Doorbell E340, 2K Full HD Dual Cameras & Head-to-Toe View, Doorbell Camera Wireless & Wired, Delivery Guard, Color Night Vision, Two-Way Talk, Motion Detection, No Monthly Fee

Great product
Install and setup was super easy. Nice quality video and notifications are quick. Only issue is the app can be slow to access live view at times. I haven’t tried the talk feature yet. I really appreciate the no subscription fee and internal memory.

Great doorbell with some nuances
Works pretty good! I like the dual camera so that it sees packages being dropped off at the front door porch.Installation was fairly easy, having to drill 2 holes into the door jamb.I had to use the angle bracket as without it, I was not getting a good view of the steps.Also since our lot is so close to the adjacent home, I didn’t want it to point directly at their carport.I like the idea of this coming with a 2nd battery from the getgo and the price seemed pretty reasonable.The Eufy app works pretty well but as always w/ any new app, it took some time to get used to but it was easy to set up. I did have an issue trying to sync the doorbell to the app but that was user error as I selected the wrong thing to sync.There is a tiny QR code on the doorbell and it scans once you select the correct device to add.I like how you can set the boundary of the detection but for some reason at times even setting the boundary, it did pick up motion beyond when people might be walking by.I have also left sensitivity at the default.One thing I noticed after reviewing the clipsis that there is a slight delay at times and while others it sends notification quickly. This also results in the video clip not capturing everything;i.e. If there was a delivery, it recorded just the part when the package was dropped off and the deliveryperson was taking a picture. I guess maybe they tossed the package and was out of the virtual boundary…Hard to say.I don’t get notifications of the mailman but that likely is because he is in his car and just slips the mail into the slot.This might need some slight adjustments to the boundary and sensitivity perhaps…But for me that wasn’t a big deal, but I am sure others might want more consistency and quicker recording.The best part about this is the features I want/needed are not blocked by a subscription paywall.I am now going to look into other Eufy products as I do need some cameras for the back yard area.

It is a ‘eufy’!
‘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!

De longe o melhor video porteiro!
