I would go with E330 but that 30% battery life sounds tempting. On the other hand I am planning to buy a cameras and Home Base 3. Will this mean that battery life will be much closer since I will playback from home base? There is still build in chime but I hope it doesn't drain it as much. Am I thinking right?
If you use the Home Base 3 + E330, I think the battery life will be comparable to the S330. The built in chime will use a little more battery, but unless you own both and are intentionally comparing battery life, I doubt you'll even notice it.
Are you sure that the autolock feature only autolock with the door closed? So many youtube videos of the S330 doesn't say that. The Support article only say it does this for older generation of smart lock as well. I basically bought the S330 for this functionality over the E330.
Yes, the S330 has a built in sensor for this. For more information, you can see the comparison list directly on Eufy's website. support.eufy.com/s/article/A-Comparative-Analysis-Video-Smart-Lock-E330-Vs-Video-Smart-Lock-S330
I installed s330 and loved it. Only one thing that bothers me is my doors are recessed a little, and the frame is blocking the field of view on the walkway. I want to replace it with pretty much same thing but in 2 seperate devices. What would be a best choice? I ordered doorbell e340 and now I am looking for a smart lock. Probably s230 or c220. Not really sure what's the difference. So e340 + s320 would do the job? Am I loosing something (or gaining) in this setup vs s330 3 in 1?
Does it require the use of the chime, already have a eufy door bell camera that is powered by the wired, but would like a centered camera. Is the camera auto sensing or only when the door is rang etc?
The camera is auto sensing + triggered by the button. As far as the chime, there may be a way to disable it but im not entirely sure as I haven't tried doing that.
Personally I dont like auto lock at all, lol. It's more of a convenience feature and I would never actually rely on it to ensure my doors are locked at night or when I'm going away. If I'm inside, I still physically lock the door by hand so I know without a doubt it's locked. Outside I'll use the keypad or app, but still try and open the door the door to check it ACTUALLY locked. Might just be me, but I'd rather check all the time than blindly rely on tech to keep my door secured. But between the two, yes the S330 with the sensor will definitely be a lot more reliable with auto lock.
Any friction on the bolt will cause it to fail so It sounds like your lock / door likely isn't properly aligned with the jamb. I had the same issue at first, but once I shimmed my door and straightened it out, it now works every time.
Every house has windows and thats 1000% easier than trying to mess with bypassing a lock. I'm willing to bet at least 95% of the time a house is broken into, its from force and not by messing with a lock
Exactly the comparison I was looking for. Much appreciated.
Exactly what I was looking for because on paper they look the same.. thank you!
Happy to help! Any other questions just let me know

I agree my s330 always still locked itself if door is still open when I hit my 2 minute mark.
Can the chime be added to the E330?
Yes, but when you account for the extra cost, you might as well just get the the S330 from the start.
Do you have any experience with their video doorbells? Im looking at the S330
Yep. Check out my channel as I did a review on one not so long ago. I dont have the S330, but I have the E330 which is pretty similar
There aren’t any videos on how to remove the battery on the s330 for charging. Is there a way to remove the cap?
The cover simply slides off, similar to how the back of a remote is opened. It's on the interior portion

Not for me but looking forward to the spring ebike reviews!
Quite a few ebike reviews on the way!
Interesting.. I was leaning on the S330 but E330 is good enough for me
Yep.. Not everyone needs the S330 features. Might as well save a few bucks and get only what you need
If you have the homebase 3, i guess you dont need the chime box?
Do both connect to the homebase 3 ?
Thanks
No. Both do not connect to Homebase3 unfortunately
Are the batteries identical? I see S330 batteries listed for sale but no mention of e330 compatibility on them.
Yes, same exact battery in both
I feel like the autolock without sensor could be dangerous on the e330. What do you think ?

Any idea if the deadbolt on either can be replaced?..I would like to keep my keys
Unfortunately they cannot be replaced on these
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Great comparison..thank you
Happy to help. Thanks for watching!
Can I have one same chime with two s330 in my place?
Looked it up but did not find any info on it so you may want to email Eufy
They need to make an adjustable camera and this would be great
Yep.. I thought the same thing. Mine would have MUCH better visibility if I could angle it slightly to the left.
THANK YOU.
Great vid
Thank you!
You need to bless us poors with a promo code!
Sorry I dont have any promo codes at this time, but if I get any I'll definitely add it to the description.
I have one but the trash always jams up and doesnt lock

Looks like more ways for someone to break into your house
