eufy Security, Video Doorbell S220 with HomeBase, 2K HD, No Monthly Fee, On-Device AI Detection,16GB Local Storage, Simple Self-Installation, Compatible Devices

Product Information

The Security Doorbell, as you’d expect, has a fairly slim, basic-looking all-black design with a front-facing camera and a built-in microphone while the Eufy HomeBase looks like an all-white wireless router – it’s fairly plain but still a bit bulky.

But Eufy rarely if ever tells you about this service, which is a breath of fresh air compared to the other apps that seem to shove the paid plan down your throat. The HomeBase can also serve as a chime, which is nice, but you’ll also get phone notifications on both iOS and Android should you want those, too.

Then, there’s the Nest Hello, which is wired-only but remains my favourite smart doorbell because of its facial recognition. Although the chunky battery means that the doorbell is larger than the mains-only competition, such as the Nest Hello, the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K is tall and narrow, so it should fit on most doorframes without issue. The eufy 2K Battery Powered Video Doorbell combines security with convenience and requires no monthly fee to access its full features. Image quality – With its 2K resolution, this doorbell produces sharp and detailed video, particularly in the day; video is a little soft at night. Faulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you.

Installation – Battery installation takes only a few minutes; a little longer if you want to wire the doorbell, too. Convenient Integration - Feel safer with easy access to advanced facial recognition, motion detection, and self-learning. That’s ironic, of course, because you’ll need to connect it to a router and will find all the wires to do so inside the box. They mention that the picture is superb, the 2K video quality is pretty good, and the recorded footage is clear. The other potential flaw that some people point out about the Eufy Camera is that, because it records at a 2K resolution, it can chew through the 16GB of on-board storage fairly quickly.

It would be the perfect doorbell if it worked with your existing mains chime, and had facial recognition. PLEASE NOTE:HomeBase 2 Required: The eufy Security Wireless Add-on Video Doorbell requires a HomeBase 2 to operate.

It's primarily a door bell and for the motion sensor I'll get a C2 next month and add it to the system.I found the doorbell’s default settings worked very well, however, only triggering recordings when visitors approached the front door. Also if you are just a doorbell user, the Homebase is build for a lot more (which again is superb in terms of expansion to other cameras and sensor etc), but some features need more expanation, like the Alarms. La portée : la distance entre la box et le visiophone est parfois un problème, mais Eufy permet de contourner cette difficulté grâce à sa home base qui fait office de relais. L'installation : Très facile, un stickers peut se coller au mur, gabaris pour positionner les trous à percer (2).
