In this video I'll explain why I think the Eufy video doorbells are one of the best around and why we switched from the ring doorbell. I'll also give you a full installation video on how to install your Eufy doorbell as well. We are 100% satisfied with out new doorbell and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for one or wanting to get one with great quality and no subscriptions needed to take advantage of all the great features these doorbells can offer.

Second this doorbell work great, clear, catches traffic in front of my house ,AI is great, animals, vehicles and humans, even know me. One this I have a large gap between the vinyl siding Laps. I haven’t found anything to cover it. Oh, it also connected to my existing door bell chime, I got the wired one. It did come with its own chime that I put in my basement.

But if “hackers” can hack into some of these major companies we hear about on the news once in a while I’m sure there could be a breach on a video doorbell. One of the nice things without having to use the cloud and having the local in-house storage, is that the only real way to get into any of your systems would be to be at your house and hack into your IP are local Wi-Fi. But then again, you would have access to all your devices connected to your Wi-Fi at that point almost. So that’s one of the reasons I like that the Eufy system doesn’t require you to use the cloud or else. You have options.

Do you have a pretty good memory with the plug-in chime. But I believe the new ones now have the ability to be added with the home base storage. So then you can have one or 2 TB of memory. Just kind of pens on how you want to set it up. We still use the regular set up with the plug-in chime and that is all the memory that we’ve been using. Haven’t had any problems with being able to go back and review footage from weeks ago but I haven’t looked to see how far back it goes.

I was using a Eufy 1080p wireless doorbell, which was OK, but then switched to the Blink doorbell, as I have other Blink cameras and thought it was a good idea to have it all on the same platform. I'm think now of putting the Eufy back. With the Eufy, when the doorbell rings, I get a notification, tap it and see who's there. With the Blink, it takes longer to view who's at the door. By the time I'm able to see who is at the door, they're usually gone. Also one advantage to the Eufy wireless doorbells is that the data is stored _inside_ on as SD card in the _chime_ , not in the doorbell itself, which is a good feature if a perpetrator rips the doorbell off. The video is still in the house. I don't know why the wired doorbells don't do it that way. The only thing the Blink is beter at is battery life. the lithium batteries seem to last longer than a charge on the Eufy. It seems like I've been charging the Eufy every month.

You’ll have to use the plug in that comes with it. Unfortunately the way these door bells work with having a constant supply of electricity they don’t activate the traditional type of door bell. The benefit though is that you can plug it in anywhere you want. It could be in your bedroom or the garage or wherever you might want the notification to be utilized best. And it can be an outlet that is not being used or somewhere out of sight if you prefer. It’s kind of cool that you can put the bell anywhere you want.

Still have a Ring doorbell button, though - two more months on my subscription before it goes. Wanted a doorbell camera that uses existing doorbell so I have a Lorex doorbell camera. But the mounts on Lorex doorbell cameras suck. Very wimpy plastic mounts. Plus, they don't provide a base big enough to cover existing holes from previous doorbells. Not sure what to do for mounting this one.

I got this doorbel for a while now. Few points: it only lasts 3 months instead of a year. Has a proven security flaw that video files are stored out of the country. Which can be accessed by Eufy. The doorbell is so slow establishing a connection that the package guy is already gone 9/10. Although i do have 1000mb internet. So that is a couple of things from a longterm user. What is also funny is that if you also take the camera's with the base station.. you can steal it, and reset it. It will delete remotely all the content from the basestation. Leaving you with an empty basestation. It is the perfect scenario for burglars.

Sucks to hear that. I haven’t experienced any of those problems. The notifications come in quick, usually within 1-3 seconds of the motion my watch and phone are vibrating. And I’ve been able to catch people at my door before they leave and speak to them through the doorbell very well. As far as a base station storage and if your not storing anything in cloud, you’d want obviously want that in a secure location. Not out in the open or easily grabbed. That would be the same case with any security system that’s stored on property. You don’t want anyone grabbing the storage device.

You can keep all the memory safely at home still and home HAVE to pay for storage in a subscription format just to be able to use the features of your doorbell camera.

Eufy does allow for local storage, and if you get a Synology NAS, you can also back that up to a cloud service of some kind (or even another Synology NAS you have stored at a relative's house that you can sync the data between) and there is a Synology app to view your video feed remotely as well. I haven't gotten one yet but I am planning on it may be more steps than what most people want, but the important thing, is that you are in control of your won data. Ring freely gives your video feed to policy agencies when they simply ask, not even under subpoena.

This is the best unbiased comparison between the Ring and Eufy. I never understand why one would want to pay to get your video recorded on the cloud. And I agree it is by far a much better camera. I've had the original 2K for a little over two years now. I had to get the battery version because the location of the original doorbell button is not at the best location to put the Eufy. Interestingly enough I've only had to charge the battery twice; I get notified when it's time to charge it so that's a nice feature. This model came with a homebase that serves as the doorbell and video storage. It has a really good object (person) detection system. I get notified long before a person gets within 10 feet of the door. I decided to install an commercial grade day and night color camera with a wide lens that covers the ground floor as well as the walkway to the house.

I completely agree! I personally love the doorbell. After having a couple others I still prefer the Eufy. I think the cameras detection system is great. I’m impressed how it has the facial recognition and sends you a snap shot of the persons face as they are walking up. And you are right with how fast it is. I hated getting a notification about someone at my door and by time I get it open to view they are gone or walking away. Not with this Eufy.

Just one more thing to buy! I don’t know how you linked up your RING but not one thing you said about it was true for me, I have 5 of their cameras that link together seamlessly. I’ve had them for 3 years now, yes RING does have you pay a fee but its under $10 dollars for the whole year!! My cameras are crystal clear, the sound is good and the communication speakers with well. I’m not saying this camera you’re showing isn’t good, but it has its faults as well. The added, required part, if you needed it for the doorbell to work then why didn’t they send it in the box?? That’s their way to make extra money. So I’ll stick with my RING, it’s tried and true.

Linus Tech Tips dropped Anker as a sponsor (supposedly) because of Eufy doorbells. If I remember correctly, it’s because Eufy says they never store your videos in their personal servers, but….. ya know, They were storing personal videos on their server. I think the company has addressed the issue, but when a company tells you they don’t do something, and then do it anyway, it raises a few red flags 🚩

I hear what you’re saying. But this is not necessarily false info, it’s just my opinion and my personal experience with them. I was excited to get the ring, finally getting a video doorbell, and I just wasn’t happy with all the problems I was having. And then after the 30 days I got a notification saying I can’t view any of my videos from events u less I now subscribed….. I didn’t like that. I felt I already paid a good penny for the device, why can’t I see any of the advertised features. Without paying more money forever I would only be able to view stuff at my door during the moment it was happening or else it was not accessible later. And what made me mad was when I got a notification that someone was there at my door and I would quickly try to open it up and view or communicate….it lagged and had delays and I lost the window to actually see who was there when they were there. So I just felt there’s gotta be a better way. Give me the option to at least store some amount of local video storage and then give me the option to pay more if I want extra stuff like monitoring service and cloud storage.

Hey! You stole my comment!!! 😁🤔 Agree! I have an apartment in another state in which I installed 2 indoor Eufy cameras. They work perfectly and have never been offline. I don't pay for a subscription but can see all the activity (if any). Before those, I have 4 Arlo cameras on the outside and they work fine and store all the videos locally, can see them from anywhere in the world, but the lag between activity, being triggered, and starting recording is so long that I most often get nothing on film. Useless unless the person stays in frame for more than 10 seconds. I wouldn't recommend the Arlo system. So far the Eufy seems the best. I had the Samsung in the past but were so bad I gave them to my elderly mom so I can watch her from across the country should she need help. They are ALWAYS disconnecting and have to be manually restarted. So out of the three, so far Eufy is the winner (for me).

I get what your saying but they do tend to hold their charges longer and the storage you saying will be lost isn’t true, the data is stored in your home , either in the plug in door bell chime or your home base memory. Also if you choose the home base extended storage you will have way more than 90 days of storage. With ring I just never had the quick responses or notifications. I also didn’t like that you had no other choice but to sign up for a subscription. They have the ability to have some local storage in the device if they wanted too. But they force you to pay too dollar for the device and then sign up for a monthly payment on top of that. Luckily there’s many options out there to fit peoples need and budgets.

It has two powering options. a, Battery that could be charged via USB, b, direct wiring via 12~24vAC 1. IT WILL NOT WORK CONTINUALY OVER A MONTH WHEN IT IS HARDWIRED, the battery need to be fully charged and reset, this requires pulling the bell wire out reinstalling (personally went thru 3 or them and two software updates. 2. SHORTAGE OF STORAGE NOT EXPENDABLE, I have a high number of the visitor in installation and local storage in EUFY HOME has 16GB of storage, and it has a USB that doesn't extend the storage via USB Sticks, they never implemented via firmware upgrade. DO NOT BUY, I am installing RING DOORBELL PRO 2.

That sucks you’ve had a bad experience with it. I know the battery option is less preferred because of the hassle of having to pull the batter or unit and recharge and then stick back out there. I had a battery one at first and hated having to do this. The wired version has been perfect though. I installed it , connected it to my WiFi and have never had to mess with it. It’s been connected ever since. It’s also stores a pretty good amount from what I can tell. I can look back a couple months on my events and still see them. I believe with the newer ones you might be able to incorporate the Home Base they use for their camera systems and that has a lot more memory.

The information at the beginning of the video claiming that ring/blink cannot store video locally or has no access after the FREE trial subscription ends is just FALSE. If you buy it with the Sync Module you have the ability to locally store and remotely view any and all motion alerts and videos from all of your cameras on that system. As stated by another user at least that is inside the house so you don't have to lose everything when someone just rips the camera off the house. Also to buy the blink/ring system with that backup option is still less expensive that what you're proposing here. In addition you can use your existing Alexa or blink mini camera's as chimes in addition to your mobile devices and tablets by just installing an app and setting up which ones you want to ring. Just tell people the truth rather than a paid marketing scheme. Otherwise a well made video, and no beef with using an alternate product that has the same or maybe better features.. but don't lie about a competitor to make a quick buck.

I appreciate the feed back. I make videos on all the stuff I buy or use to just give insight or instructions on installing/problem solving. But was not paid by Eufy to do this. I was making a video about my ring doorbell and then learned about how I’d have to have a subscription or buy more equipment to store my data/alerts n such. I then researched, found eufy and liked that with just the doorbell it had internal storage and the ability to expand, but didn’t have to buy anything else other than the door bell if I didn’t want to. I was mainly focusing on using the door bell as a stand alone and having the ability to access all the creatures these door bell talk about. With ring I lost most those great features after the trail unless I wanted to pay for something in addition. With the Eufy i was able to install and have full access to the features as advertised and didn’t have to pay for them down the road. I also had a lot of connection issues with my ring doorbell. Not saying this is a problem for everyone but something I experienced. With the Eufy I’ve had a way better experience with opening the app and I’m the video feed popping right up. The ring lagged or didn’t connect. And when it did half the time it would notify me that it was doing a software update and would be back online shortly. Super annoying. But again I appreciate the feedback. Never intentionally hiding any info from people. I may be pumping up what I’m doing or expanding more on what I have in my hand vs the other options, but that’s only because it’s what I may have more experience with or actually have experience using. I usually just make videos about stuff I find or have used. There’s plenty of other options out there. Im not testing and doing break downs on all systems like a tech channel, just trying to help people with getting more info out there.

The audio when standing outside and talking to the doorbell? Pretty good with my experience. I’d say you average standing and talking distance/volume. I believe you can adjust some of the sensitivity metrics on the device to help suit your needs too

Great video!! I don't need a doorbell. I live in a condo where I have had a chair taken and someone put grease on the catwalk in front of my door. I just want to be able to see the people who are doing this or have it stopped hopefully when they see the camera. Do you recommend this camera? Do I need any wifi? I have seen videos of cameras that need it. I don't think my wifi would extend outside of my condo. Please let me know. Thanks.

If you are in a condo I don’t think they will allow you to run wires to your cameras, and in this case you’d most likely need a WiFi system set up for all the cameras to communicate with the hub. Eufy products in my opinion are great. So I would recommend them. But your situation is unique. So you may. We’d to look at what your options are with WiFi wireless cameras, wired cameras, etc.

Hi, Not sure where the 2 wires are from when you put the plate up, Where are they connected??

In the video I’m installing the wired version, it connects to your existing doorbell on your home. Assuming your home has a wired doorbell, you’d remove your push button door bell and there should be two wires connected to the back. You take those two wires which have a low voltage current and connect them to you wired door bell. With the battery operated doorbell you don’t need any wires to connect to. You just mount the doorbell where you want it and it connects to your homes WiFi.

Hello Fort-Knox! Just seeing your Eufy video and appreciate your sharing the information. Unfortunately, I just installed a Ring doorbell at my Mother-in- law’s house and have one at my house (a couple of years now). Would love to swap to Eufy but hate to waste the money spent on the Ring doorbells, what can done with them to recoup some of the cost?

Well if your outside the return window then the next thing is to list it for sale. There’s lots of people who don’t want to pay full price and don’t mind buying a “used” doorbell at a small discount. Anything I ever replace or upgrade I try to sell. There’s almost always someone wanting a new doorbell or needing a replacement. If the one you just installed is still able to be returned then I’d go that route obviously in that case.

I haven’t finished your video yet. I purchased the Eufy but left it in the packaging for a year because I was testing two others. I installed it and it worked ok but didn’t really suit my needs. One week later it went deader then a door nail. I contacted Eufy and asked their opinion. I knew it was warranted for a year and when they came back it was to tell me it was dead but out of warranty. I had bought a couple hundred dollars worth of items from them. I thank them and sent it all back. I bought a Wyze doorbell close to hundred cheaper and I’m really happy with it. Buyer beware they have no heart nor justice in them.

That’s very unfortunate. I’ve never heard of one of their doorbells just dying for no reason after a week. There wasn’t any type of power surge or something that could have caused damage? I can see that if the purchase date was a year ago and they couldn’t warranty it after that, your circumstances are unique but on their end I could see how the date of purchase may be the only thing they could go off of. It’s good you found the Wyze doorbell. I’ve heard good things about them as well.

It says it works with homebase. Some of the doorbells come with a homebase. I’ve read that the homebase a 3c doesn’t work with it. Unsure is the 2c does or does not.

We had a Ring, and it did not work out for us. It had a 2-second lag time from when it senses movement and actually starts recording. By then, the person that set it off is no longer in the field of view. How fast does the Eufy start recording? Good video. I subbed and rang that bell. Does Eufy have a battery powered model?
@FortKnoxCo
@FortKnoxCo Жыл бұрын
Awesome thank you! Yes they have a battery operated and wired in model. There should be links for both in my description to see them on Amazon so you can compare. The video and notification timing is spot on. We haven’t had any problems with the video recording and the notifications coming through while they are still there as well. I walk past it when I’m my front yard and my watch starts vibrating with a notification before I’m done passing usually. We have no complaints with this Eufy doorbell

No. Once you wire it in it Bypasses the wall chime in your house. It comes with a plug in chime that connects wirelessly to the doorbell and that will be your new chime. You can plug it in anywhere you’d like for convenience

Great information but quick question. Is the eufy dual connection? I ask because I would like to have both. Wired in the front and wireless for the back. I do understand the charging issue for the wireless.
@FortKnoxCo
@FortKnoxCo Жыл бұрын
I believe if you wanted two doorbells you can do this. Either wired or battery, doesn’t matter, I think you’d just have the Eufy app and have both devices connected to your account. So you could view the video from either of your choice when you want. It’s similar to adding home cameras around the exterior. You could view it all through your Eufy App

You skipped over the jumper cable attachment inside of the existing chime, just what I was looking for information on. You show 2 cables it appears inside of the plastic bag. Does one install only one of them between the 2 terminals, center one and the one on the right? Thank you.
@FortKnoxCo
@FortKnoxCo Жыл бұрын
Yes it should come with instructions on how to do that. It basically bypasses the chime to create a through connection. I didn’t initially install the jump cable when I first installed this chime. I later did go back and install that before upgrading my doorbell transformer.

I think the only problem I have with the Eufy video doorbell is the potential risk of losing the footage if the camera is taken off its place, because the free part is the local storage that records footage into the camera for a certain amount of time. Other than that, I'm liking it
@FortKnoxCo
@FortKnoxCo Ай бұрын
The data/video is stored in the plug in chime that is plugged in the wall inside your home, so your data will be safe inside. It’s not stored directly in the doorbell itself. They thought of that part. And the newer plug in door chimes have expandable micro SD card slots to allow more storage if you choose to. And they have the home base storage too if you have the home security cameras which has 1T or bigger storage I believe. All in your home where you choose

@FortKnoxCo
@FortKnoxCo 3 ай бұрын
I believe their website says it has a 160 degree view. But they do come with angled bases to help turn the doorbell to achieve a better angle as well. Also if you use the battery powered model you could mount it anywhere you want. Could even mount it on the door itself to look directly at people. Just an option.
