eufy Security Wi-Fi Video Doorbell, 2K Resolution, Real-Time Response, No Monthly Fees, Secure Local Storage, Free Wireless Chime (Require Existing Doorbell Wire, 16-24 VAC, 30 VA or above) (Renewed)

Works great!
I’ve had this a month now, and I’m really happy with it. I chose it over ring because there is no subscription. I was concerned it might not get a good camera view because as you can see in my photo, my doorbell is in a tight corner. I used the included optional angle mount piece and was amazed it captured my entire porch view. I was also easily able to set it to pick up a certain area so the semi-truck that occasionally drives down my neighborhood street wasn’t tracked. The night vision with my porch light on works great as you can see in the picture. The set up was easy, and fortunately I was able to cut my glass door trim piece a bit so it fit in my existing doorbell wired spot. When the lights go out, it sets itself back up with no help from me. I bought this because I had just moved in this house and someone would ring the doorbell and run off. I figured it was neighborhood kids, and sure enough I got good video of it. I’ll deal with that later LOL!!!. But, for now, I’m happy to have this added security.

A Very Good Doorbell, but…
I was looking for a wired video doorbell camera with no monthly fees and human detection. The Eufy Security camera met my wish list. I have had the camera more than a week now and I am very satisfied. The 2K resolution is very good. The notification is not immediate but it is good enough to capture the person at my door. I am not sure what else to write because it does everything as advertised. There was one big concern that is why I rated a four. My concern is this: I have three Samsung devices (S22, S8 and Tab S2). None of these devices were able to complete the installation. I received a message indicating the bluetooth failed to connect to the doorbell. Eufy Customer Service recommended I have Amazon exchange the doorbell, because it seemed to be defected. I too assumed the device was defected since I purchased a “Renewed” door bell. When I received the exchanged device (another “Renewed” door bell), I had the same problem, the bluetooth failed to connect. So tried my wife’s Motorola (Moto E) phone. It worked! I opened the Eufy app on my Samsung devices and everything worked too. It is a very good door bell, so I would recommend it.

Easy to set up and great to use
Coming from a Ring doorbell, I changed to this one to stop the monthly/yearly bills. I do use Eufy for security cameras around the house, so figured I just swap to a doorbell. This thing is simple to set up and works well. It’s pretty straightforward to set up. Just make sure you have a transformer that meets the specifications. I got the 16v 30va transformer and had no problems with the doorbell. One nice feature is the zone setting within the app to help with alerts and such.I’ve had no issues with other Eufy products, so not expecting any issues with this one. I do realize, though, that this probably won’t connect with the home base 3. While the other devices on the Eufy app display that they are able to connect with HB3, this doorbell doesn’t. I can’t say 100% as I don’t own one, but that’s my guess since it doesn’t have an option to add it to HB3 on the app.No issues at this time. Will update if any do come up. Got this renewed, and had an issue with a part, but the seller made it very easy to get that broken part replaced, and everything else was great.

Good but IMPORTANT – odd installation complication
Overall the product (once installed) does work well: video quality is good…motion detection and application alerting is performing well. Reason for this product being selected was to avoid monthly maintenance fee, which is a feature plus.IMPORTANT: the installation requires Bluetooth connectivity and the vendor’s provided configuration QR code documentation in the box is NOT matching the physical devices they ship. This will cause the configuration to fail every time unless the documentation is disregarded and/or you cross-check to the product code details physically on the doorbell device. The mismatch between device & documentation seems to be chronic (noted back as early as 2021??)…and so VERIFY the alpha-numeric code on the physical doorbell either matches and/or use it in lieu of the documentation QR code. Noting this as vendor’s own technical support group did not bring this up in support discussions…but instead located the troubleshooting discussions in a separate support board.

Been using this Eufy Wired Door bell for quite some time now.My biggest issues are as followed:1. The doorbell keeps going offline.2. Terrible motion sensor, 70% false positives. Its so dumb that it would identify an insect as a human and send notifications and on the contrary A lot of time my Amazon Parcels gets delivered on porch, and the doorbell wouldn’t sense anything at all.3. 8-10 second lag between whats shown on camera & actual event. I could go out, and literally see my self on camera while sitting on my couch.4. The in built mike is pathetic. You can hardly talk to the person.5. Usage of the word AI is fake. This is the dumbest camera I’ve used. Unfortunately its too late for me to return. Would never use Eufy products.6. Night vision is pathetic. You can’t even read my car number place which is parked just 6 ft from the doorbell. Check picPositives:1. Easy set up.2. No monthly fees.

Everything is good except unnecessary notifications even after changing settings as well.
