eufy Security Video Doorbell S330 (Battery-Powered) with Homebase, Dual Motion Detection, Package Detection, 2K HD, No Monthly Fee, 16GB Local Storage

This is an absolutely brilliant piece of kit. It was super easy to set up, and the dual-camera system is a game changer. No more worrying about delivery drivers leaving parcels at the door—thanks to the package detection feature, the camera keeps an eye on your deliveries until you collect them.The video quality is excellent, even at night—crystal clear with night vision so you don’t miss a thing. One of the best features is the local storage—no need for costly subscriptions to access your footage. As long as you’ve got a reliable internet connection, the app gives you everything you need.I’m now looking into the HomeBase 3 for even more storage flexibility. Highly recommend this camera if you’re serious about home security!

Brilliant item! I honestly wouldn't be without this now! I ordered this after some horrid person was wandering around my property and trying to get in! Thankfully my dog scared him off!So now I have this doorbell, the quality of the video is excellent!! I'm not that tech great and it was easy to set up. I've not really used the spoken audio but I'll use it eventually.The parcel minder works quite well, and I like how it is linked to my Alexa. I've also got this set up with a 3 pin plug electricity supply and it has been working a treat. I did have cause to contact customer service with an issue related to my own actions and they were brilliant: quick to reply and swift solution.The motion detection is really good, and has good choices when altering the sensitivity. Out of all my camera systems with motions, this is hands down the best in sensitivity and functionality. The only thing I'd do different now is buy the base 3, and this dual camera was it the 330 - as I think the base 3 is more future proof than the 2. But buying this combination was a good price point that really reflects that and I think as I was skint at the time it was also a problem solved at a good price - so I'd probably make the same choice and buy this combination again. It turns out I have a couple of Eufy and Anker products and they are all very good.Side note, the box and their website gives the US customers links to 3 pin plugs to deliver power to the doorbell, but not reallyl for the UK. I did actually buy one that had the same specs as the one recommended for the US customers (wats amps etc etc) and used that, and have been for 6 weeks so far.

We have been using ring doorbell 2nd gen for the last 2 years and paying approx 4 monthly subscription services and decided to get rid of the subscription. Everything is subscription these days so one less would be good. Right?First impression - The build quality is good. Packaged very well. Comes with a mounting bracket, and screws to install. Has a built-in battery so no need to be hardwired with the power source.Installation - Needs to drill only two holes and installed within minutes. Took me 5 min to set up and pair both the doorbell and Homebase 2. Yes, it comes with home base 2 and not 3. Does not make a difference to me because we don't have any more devices in our house so storage is not an issue.Took 15 min to drill and fix it on the wall.User experience - Other Amazon customers have complained about the delay. Let me clarify this. The doorbell is connected to the home base and eufy cloud services. I will come to that cloud part later. When someone rings the doorbell or it detects motion, the doorbell tries to reach the home base to initiate a session and record the event. If there is a poor wifi signal, then it took extra milliseconds which indeed is the cause of the delay. In the case of the ring doorbell, poor wifi does not affect much because you get notified from ring.com directly which naturally has faster processing than Eufy home base 2. So, if you want quick notification, make sure Eufy Bell gets a good wifi signal and Homebase is connected via ethernet in the same network.Cloud connectivity and privacy concern - It does need eufy account to pait homebase and doorbell. The eufy id is needed to notify on your phone even if you are outside your wifi network. It does not upload any videos to the cloud. When you open the eufy app to watch events, it decrypts the video and plays it on your phone directly from Homebase 2. However, if you want a notification with a thumbnail, then some portion of the video needs to be processed at eufy.com to generate a thumbnail and notify you. The session and data are encrypted so don't worry much. The guys at eufy cannot decrypt because the private keys are stored in Homebase itself. If you worry much, then change the notification to text only in the eufy app.Comparison - The ring doorbell video quality was nothing compared to eufy doorbell. I don't know if it has HD or FHD in the ring but in eufy it is 2k. The picture is crisp and clear. I am very impressed with the video quality and not going back to ring ever.Conclusion – I am very happy with eufy doorbell. Mine was the dual camera with a home base 2 combo package. Cost me 189 but compared to Ring, there is no monthly subscription and far better quality.Thinking of connecting to NVR like sinology or qnap, it will not work because of lack of OVNIFWill update review with some pictures soonUpdate May 4, 2023Now door bell works with homebase 3.
