Thanks so much for this video! It hit on a lot of things that I've been wondering about while reviewing Eufy's product page for this item. I really appreciate you showing the notifications and the app, because that part is nearly impossible to tell from their website! Your video definitely is the last push I needed to order this.
You are the only one who has a wired doorbell that is at a right angle to the door like mine. Didn't know how that would work out so thanks for the video.
Thank you for making this video. I’ve had a SkyBell non subscription since 2018 and it worked flawlessly until this month. I believe they’ve gone to subscription service if you want current notifications because I can see past activity but not current anymore. I’ll be getting the Eufy doorbell based on your helpful video.
I really appreciate all the prior thought you put into making this review... Especially the listing of subscription fees for the basically top five doorbell/ home surveillance systems.... The one question I have is not regarding the doorbell range portion, which you had covered explicitly in your review... I'm curious about the home surveillance systems distance, what is the range for the cameras Wi-Fi connection as well.. All your fine work is appreciated,.. thank you
I bought mine during Covid to monitor my delivery and deter porch pirates. It was amazing and things worked great including the fact that you didn't have to pay for monitoring fees, in fact, I was so thrilled about it that 4 other members of my family bought one!...well...that was 2 years ago, and now mine doesn't recognize any wifi networks anymore despite deleting and re-installing the software over a dozen times ! So...called customer service...HA!!...what a joke...they recognize the issues and all I got was 25% off my next purchase ! Oh....also now my sons unit is also during the same. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AT ALL !!!
Except, that in order to review the footage, you have to remove the SD card, and review the footage, correct? Does the footage overwrite with a prompt? Does it record 24/7? or just upon movement detection?
I have a few Eufy items. The wired cameras are good. However the doorbell has been very disappointing. I bought after a wait, the E340. I liked the idea of the dual camera. The battery needed regular charging, every month or so. That would be fine except just after the warranty ran out the battery stopped charging. I left the doorbell on charge for two days. It lasts about half an hour, then reports a low battery. I tried mains wiring it, as recommended but because it is the battery model, it still relies on the battery, even though it is wired. This appears to be common to this model, looking at the community pages. Stick with a wired one.
I've had mine for a year, i like it, but I don't like that it doesn't capture and record my voice when I'm using the two way audio with people at my door. Another thing, when I open the live view to answer the doorbell it cuts off my Bluetooth headsets.
I read on their website that your data would not be accessed if stolen cause you have to be logged into your account to access/delete saved videos. Check out their website and FAQ
I have two of them. Liked them very much until the microphone died. Since it died on both of them after about 1 year each, I guess it could be a product failure, or just bad luck on my side.
Hi WyattTech, I’m looking to purchase the Eufy 2K doorbell especially as it’s Amazon Prime day. I’ve been in two minds for a while to buy one, but l was a bit put off when l one of the reviews on Amazon which mentioned that the doorbell can be ‘unclipped’ since it is not secured in any way. Please could you confirm if this is true or not?
Hi! The doorbell does click into place, and it requires a small tool to remove it. You can see this at 0:43 in the video! Thanks for watching and commenting! Best of luck!
I am having problems with push notifications. I am getting nothing on my phone when the doorbell is pressed or motion detection. Installed today and have no clue. I really like it this doorbell but its driving my crazy.
Hey mate. I bought the battery version of this that I’m looking to hardwire. I’m just not sure about my transformer as it was installed prob decades ago. It’s an Arlec Bell and Chime Transformer with 240V 50hz /5-16v 1A. Would this be sufficient?
Hi! Thank you for watching and commenting. I wish I could help but unfortunately I know next to nothing about electrical or how it works so I am not able to answer your question.
Have been using the wired 2K for a while now, started fine but lately, without any change in network etc., it started acting up. No connectivity when trying to remotely view the camera after a doorbell press and als ghost pressing, doorbell goes off without anybody in the neighbourhood. (Have another cam outside to confirm no kids ffing around) Eufy has been keeping me busy with their standard check this and that protocol on multiple occasions as, nothing helps. They now say I do not qualify for warranty because the purchase occurred more than 1 year ago. So be aware if you are in the EU, Eufy does not want to provide the mandated 2 year consumer warranty. They simply ignore that.
I have a door bell It sucked , slow . Decryption takes forever. Why is there no switch to turn off encryption option. Most of the time can't decrypt and can not see video. Someone rings the door bell it is toooo slow that when it opens live view the person is gone. By the way I have fastest Internet. Fiber optic.
@@wyatttech thank you that’s only thing I didn’t see so I had to ask I already mine. Thank you for doing a good interview especially with the cons and pros.🫡
How so? He is absolutely correct in terms of subscription fees. We are currently with Ring and our yearly fees have gone up by more than 40%. We will certainly move to a Eufy doorbell soon.

Mine didn’t come with a plug in chime , but it is connected to my doorbell chime in home. I’m liking this device so far.
Very helpful, thank you

Good point about not recording audio while talking, I’ve noticed that too.
Yeah, you can barely hear my voice when talking to someone at the door
Are all Eufy doorbells triggered by motion sensor?
Hi, can the storage be backed up somehow? I mean, if someone stole the doorbell, the local storage is inside the doorbell so would vanish 😭

@@wyatttechThank you for replying, I’ve ordered one today from Amazon for £109.00 good deal.
I am having problems with push notifications. I am getting nothing on my phone when the doorbell is pressed or motion detection. Installed today and have no clue. I really like it this doorbell but its driving my crazy.
Where does the SD card plug in?

Does this specific video doorbell need the eufy homebase for it to be able to work? or can it work without it and i can use the device right away?
I do not have a home base and it worked right out of the box, so you do not need it!
How can this not record for replay when it has it's own SD card?

encryption option.
Most of the time can't decrypt and can not see video.

By the way I have fastest Internet. Fiber optic.
I get that too
Mine has 24-7 recording.... Under Settings, Continuous Recording, options are All the time or Schedule recordings.
Hi, how long is the 24/7 continuous recording? Thanks
hahahahahah@@ka0s28
How did you set it up on continuing recording? I have a wired doorbell, and I'm not getting all the motion when people arrive in front driveway gate.
Is it night vision?
Yes, it has infrared night vision!
@@wyatttech thank you that’s only thing I didn’t see so I had to ask I already mine. Thank you for doing a good interview especially with the cons and pros.🫡
@@bonez1365 You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching!
How do you get the blue light to work? Mine worked until I attached it to the wall
He has been bought by eufi for a good review
I wish… I’d love to be sponsored by Eufy lol. I bought this doorbell with my own money and this is my honest review.
Thank you for watching!
How so? He is absolutely correct in terms of subscription fees. We are currently with Ring and our yearly fees have gone up by more than 40%. We will certainly move to a Eufy doorbell soon.
