eufy Security Video Doorbell Wireless S220 (S210), No Monthly Fee

Very easy to install. Super user friendly. Has a nice quality video. The only thing that took maybe 10 minutes to figure it out was sending the invitation to my wife so she can have access to the doorbell app, not just me. Oh, and you if you leave on a main street that has high traffic, you are not ready for the notifications. What I mean by that is that the doorbell sense people really fast and if the it's set up for that, you'll get a notification for every person that passes by your house. I had to set the sensor to the lowest level, and even with that it still so good at detecting people. Also, there's no need to put the SD card into the Chime, just place it into the doorbell and you have the recordings available on your phone through the app. But if you want to you can put one into the Chime, but that means you'll have to buy 2 SD cards. But everyone is different. Anyway, this is one good doorbell and the price range is acceptable compared to others. Regarding the battery, I only lost 1% so far and it has been on for 5 days. So is going to be a while till the battery runs out of juice. And to avoid any headaches, i bought a second battery as a backup when i need to charge the first one. But with the way things are going I don't think is going to happen soon. Also, Night vision, crisp quality, but depends what lighting you have in your area, still it performs very well. Overall, I am glad that I bought this doorbell, now I don't have to worry that I will not hear when someone knocks atthe door.

Relatively easy to set up. Only got a little confused when it asks you to connect to Home Hub, which I didn’t have. NOTE Home Hub also refers to your Chime door bell, took me a while to figure that one out as to the reason I wasn’t getting video. (Five stars to customer service for their help too btw, although I figured it out myself in the end they were very pleasant and professional). Love that it also has a Face Capture. When someone is walking past and too quick or hooded to see, the Capture feature gives a clear snapshot of their face. Highly recommend.

The product comes very well packed, with everything you may need to mount it on either wood or brick surface. The product USP is that it doesn’t require any costly Cloud Storage for recorded footage ( recurring cost/ privacy). Instead there is a 16GB memory card mounted in the inside Wi-Fi Door Ring module (WDR). Footage recorded is accessible through an app. The supplied ( multilingual) instructions are clear and intuitive. 1. Installation. Installation is in three parts, the WDR, the Doorbell (DB) itself and a Smartphone application which needs to be downloaded and configured with an online user account. Do this first! WDR plugs into any power outlet, in an area with good Wi-Fi connection. WDR connection to existing Wi-Fi network is easy to set up through the Smartphone app. There will likely be a firmware update to download.. Once WDR is configured, add DB to the online account through the app (clear guidance provided through the app). Once again, a firmware update for DB will likely be available and should be installed. Next, fully charge DB through USB. Carefully install DB outside your entrance while maintaining good connection to both WDR and Wi-Fi. Follow positioning guidance given in the manual/app. 2 Performance. 2K video is very good but not excellent. Video enhancement available is WDR only, not HDR. Built in human recognition in DB is a pretty good attempt, but not at all 100% accurate. Personally, I have turned it off and use the setting “ detect all events”, in combination with a carefully set detection zone. Your experience talking to a caller depends on connection/ bandwidth but, in common with similar devices, there will likely be some lagging effect and distortion of sound. 3. Opinion. This device is well put together. Installation is clear. Performance is good. You save recurring fees for cloud storage and preserve privacy. I recommend this product.

Great doorbell with reliability! Mounting the doorbell is easy and the camera is durable in all conditions. I’ve not experienced any fogging or water drop on the lenses. This model allows the battery to be changed quickly so I’d recommend having a spare battery. Configuration of the doorbell is easy and the application guides you well through the settings should you need to adjust anything. The night vision is great and it’s easy to make out people and other objects even with low light. I found the doorbell is more responsive without the Homebase and connected just to WiFi. There is also a cool feature that calls your phone when the button is pressed which makes answering the bell when driving very easy !

Sooo I finally bought this after researching tonnes of video doorbells. Eufy looked like the best option as it is “ADVERTISED” as “LOCAL STORAGE”. Why am I shouting? Just wait for it, its insane. So listen to this, I am setting up the doorbell and you have to register with eufySecurity via the app. I register, and it tells me it is sending me a verification email. I wait, no email arrives. I check Junk Mail, no email. I try to log in to eufySecurity, it says I haven’t verified the email address. I double check everything, and try again. It gives me an option to “resend” the verification email. I tell it to resend. I wait. No email. Nothing! Been an hour now, and I can’t even register the app let alone set up the doorbell! What a waste of an evening. BUT THERES MORE!!! I go online to see if anyone has this issue - turns out that if eufy servers are down (and judging by people complaining on Twitter/Reddit the servers go down a lot for lengthy periods of time), YOU CAN NOT view your recordings, get doorbell notifications, or ANYTHING!!! They advertise all this as “LOCAL STORAGE” which doesn’t “rely on the cloud” yet if their shoddy servers go down then YOUR WHOLE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM goes down! You can’t view recordings or anything!!!! How on earth is this legal if they advertise this so aggressively as “Local Storage does not rely on the cloud”?? Even the packaging has stuff about the cloud being as “secure as a cloud”. What a disaster and what a let down! I made this evening free to install the doorbell, maybe I should just pack it all up and get a refund. Never expect eufy to lie to us, but I was obviously wrong. Don’t believe me? Google eufySecurity servers and read the horror stories. There are even people who can’t go in to or out of their houses due to not being able to arm/disarm their eufySecurity systems. The app (same app this doorbell uses) becomes unusable when servers go down, and their customer service is shockingly bad (again, Google it, you’ll see the complaints). People are even complaining being trapped in their houses as the eufySecurity “server is down” so they can’t disarm their front doors to leave the house! A major flaw and deceitful marketing, this product is dead in the water.

Based on my experience, you'll need to have a little bit of patience with this. Out of the box, in my living room, it worked straight away. I was charging the doorbell camera and getting notifications every time I walked past it, so I screwed the unit to the wall and sure enough it went off when the neighbours came out of their front door and walked past. The problems started when they came home. Walking up our path is very hit and miss. Anyway, to cut a long story short so as not to bore anyone, I got in touch with the makers and it turns out that (in common with a lot of these security devices it seems) anyone walking directly towards the camera might not be detected. Unfortunately our path is pretty much perfectly aligned so that it may or may not record. Don't screw it to the wall until you've found the best position, and try it with and without the angle mount. The bell works, the motion detector works if I change it to pick up all motion and not just humans, but of course then it goes off every time a car goes by and it still might not pick up people walking up our path. You can probably set an activity zone to cover your own circumstances, and I'm just unlucky. It's a really good picture, and it's a really good doorbell (which records when it's pressed). I don't think many people will be as unlucky as me, and I have another Eufy camera (a solar powered one) which is absolutely brilliant and picks up everything as it should. So it's definitely our front path that's at fault. In other news, the chime records the video onto its memory card so no subscription is involved. We have an Eero 6 Pro router which broadcasts on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands, and it picked up the two units immediately even though they only operate on 2.4GHz. It's a good bell, it's our front garden that's to blame.

Great video quality and price. No subscription like many other brands. Customisable and expandable depending on your needs. Depending on your location takes some trial, error, zones, ai, to get a good balance of sensitivity as if you have a lot of passing traffic, can take too many videos and drain battery and storage.

CONS: Personally I am unhappy with motion and mostly Human detection. And I am not the only one as well, so it doesent seem like only my doorbell is somehow faulty. Human detection regardless of how much playing with activity zones or sensitivity I have done is just hit and miss. Mostly miss and negative experience. I was reassured by the Customer service that they are working on Firmware updates all the time and this will improve with time. 1. Firstly it does not detect people wearing balaclavas. Tried and tested. Danced in front of the doorbell while wearing balaclava and did not register me, once I removed the balaclava received notification straight to my phone. 2. Secondly the motion and Human detection insists that car wheels are humans, sometimes 4 or more times per night. If I use the exclusion zone it helps but there is only one exclusion zone I can set up which is not enough for all parked cars and their wheels. So out of nowhere at night I get notified that some car wheel is human. Also registers lamp post sometimes few activations per night. Neither the car wheel nor the lamppost are humans! Sadly it is a hit and miss. Sometimes people pass by and aint detected but sometimes car wheels pass as humans. Good thing is that I can donate my videos to EUFY, which I do. So that I can help anyway I can to fix the poor AI. I send them every now and then activations that are supposed to be humans but are car wheels or trees or street lamps. 3. Doesent seem to be 2k. Maybe 1080p at the most. But decent for a doorbell. My experience could be affected by bandwidth. It has setting that let you choose what is more important to you - to record in better quality but stream in lower or record in lower but live view to be in better quality. For me the recording is a priority as this doorbell acts as CCTV for me. PROS 1. Very good Price and no monthly fees. 2. Prompt notifications. Very fast! Rings immediately after doorbell is being pressed. Really really fast. Notifications come with a screenshot thumbnail (preview). That way I know to ignore it or not. If thumbnail is a human face then I open the notification, if it is car tyre or street lamp I ignore it. 3. Simple and intuitive to use app. 4. Chime that arrived with it has long range few melodies and different volume settings. Easy to pair too. BTW if you are hoping to use the UK plug adaptor - you might be out of luck. The UK plug adaptor seems not to fit well on the chime which leads to chime not being powered up. Chime in the box comes with EU and UK adaptor that slides in the chime unit. UK one doesent make good contact with the unit and hence it isnt powered when plugged in the wall. That was my case at least. But you can use EU part then put it in EU->UK adaptor and will work. Was told that they are aware and rectifying the issue. 5. Customer service are always answering. 6. EUFY has entire Ecosystem of CCTV and security products. Therefore if you are looking to get one app for all your needs it is an option. Intruder alarm with keypad and various style detectors combined with CCTV products. 7. When you introduce someone you get £40 gift card and the person gets £40 off his purchase as long as it is over £200. If you introduce him on 22nd each month then the gift card is apparently £80.

This eufy E340 kit is an outstanding video doorbell. The dual-camera setup is a game-changer—having one camera for face-level view and a second camera pointing down completely eliminates blind spots and lets you see packages clearly at your doorstep. Highlights: Crisp Image Quality: The 2K FHD resolution delivers sharp, clear video during the day and excellent night vision. Smart & Fast Detection: Motion tracking is fast and accurate, capturing events instantly without missing key moments. Built-in Storage & Removable Battery: Having built-in 8GB storage is great for local recording right out of the box without hidden fees, and the removable battery makes recharging super convenient. If you are looking for a reliable, feature-packed doorbell with great clarity and zero fuss, this one is worth every penny!

The doorbell camera failed following heavy rain, becoming completely unusable due to severe condensation that blurred the lens. After returning the faulty device, the customer service was appalling14 days later, I have received no refund, no replacement, and am still without a working doorbell camera, on top of that the app consistently crashing/freezing!!! The customer experience was unacceptable. Avoid this product and company at all costs!!!!!

We purchased this doorbell specifically because it didn’t need to be wired to previous doorbell and because there were no subscription fees. It took a little while to get it working properly to record but that was due to a faulty SD card and to no fault of the camera itself. I love that you can see the events and that you don’t have to pay a monthly fee to do so. Picture quality is great and the app is quite user friendly. The only thing that could improve on our end is the motion detection being quicker. We have ours aimed down our stairs and the motion detection set to high but if a delivery driver is super quick to drop off a package, the camera misses the event. This may be solve-able if we were to move the camera to another location but we have it covering the hole in our house from our old doorbell so we prefer not to move it. Otherwise, it’s a great camera. Battery life doesn’t last quite as long as we had hoped but it’s chargeable and super easy to do so has caused us no issues.
