Video doorbell E340

Good product. Used the money I saved cancelling my TV licence to buy this - so I don't even have to open the door to the BBC sales rep! I considered Ring, but they want you to pay a subscription to access all the feature and I don't see the logic on cancelling the TV licence, only to pay a subscription to Ring! This video doorbell has been upgraded since I researched them on Youtube - It now has a great field of detection feature where you pull the points of a polygon to where you want them to create any shape/area you want; previously it was just a straight line of how far in front you wanted it to detect, so that's a great feature. You can even black out areas if you ant to, for instance, black out your neighbours lounge window to give them their privacy. The device stored footage on board or can upload. Once the on board storage is full it will just delete the oldest footage and continue to work. Images are clear and sound is fine, not perfect, but then it's not an SM58. You can set it to just notify you when the bell is pressed, or it can also detect people as they approach. It can be set to only detect humans if you want. The device (or rather, the app), if you want it to, can allow your phone to connect using its mobile network allowing you interact and receive alerts remotely. While at home it will use your wifi network. You can use pre-recorded replies if you like, so you just press a button to say, "Just a moment," or "sod off!" if you feel that way inclined. All in all, better than I expected so far. I would certainly recommend this. Also, if the detection field is turned on and someone decides to knock instead of ring, you still get a notification and are able to see live footage because they set the motion detector off. Night vision is quite reasonable and there is an extra function if you want the night vision in colour - just uses the batter up faster.

Great video doorbell. Very clear even at night. One thing to remember though is that you do need a chime to go with it, so had to buy this separately as didn’t realise. Couldn’t get it to connect to my Echo Dot but otherwise it’s all good. Pretty easy to set up. Has internal memory so haven’t bothered with a memory card as just deleting the videos bi-daily when not needed. Presume you can download to another device but not tried this yet.

I am currently on a quest to reduce my subscriptions a lot of which are getting out of hand due to their exorbitant rising costs. It may seem a little strange then that I have laid out even more money to purchase yet another door bell camera when I already own one that on the whole is giving me goid service. The fact remains at its current price the subscription free Eufy will pay for itself in 18 months. This is my main attraction for the purchase. The features included in the purchase price have impressed me and I am now thinking I may extend my quest to include my current wireless CCTV camera package that too has a sting in the tail with its rising subscriptions. The doorbell is easy to install and comes with the necessary fixings and brackets. It is recommended that the doorbell should be positioned at 1.2m for optimum positioning. Mine is slightly higher by choice. A USB A-C charge lead for the battery and a couple of wires to connect to an existing indoor chime, should you have an existing one fitted? Like a lot of electronics these days the doorbell relies heavily on an app for its setup and usage. The battery that’s included had some charge but requires a full charge before use. If that is your sole power supply I would recommend a spare as the charge time is lengthy. Changing the battery is straightforward. A pointed, pin like token is provided and inserted into the top of the bell. This in turn releases it from its backplate. Once installed the installation process I found easy. There were no issues connecting to my Wi-Fi network and in no time I had two, clear split images. Impressive in the daytime, equally impressive at night especially if the built in light is used transforming the image into colour. The app is feature rich with some features only available with an additional base station or with a subscription. The only concern being that without these additions the saved images are on the bell push itself and would be unattainable should the unit be stolen. There is one disappointment I have relating to the E340 and that is not having an indoor chime included I am reliant on my phone if someone comes to the door. A separate chime is available at cost but if I think back to purchasing a conventional doorbell it would be unheard of purchasing a push without a chime included at one time. My younger self would laugh at the idea of such things. As there is an Alexa skill I was expecting to be able to receive a chime through my smart speakers and although this is possible it’s only possible with an additional home base.

Impressed , no subscription, works with amazon elexa , easy to install. Same software as ring .... but better....

I wanted this to be great, to get away from the Ring annual subscription, reviews said it was, but it isn’t. The good - it’s a digital doorbell with all the functions your would expect, but also has a separate camera facing the floor to spot left parcels and will alert you about them and keep an eye on them. Plus it stores video locally on the doorbells internal memory so no subscription needed. Swappable battery, though you do need to buy another one as the swappable spare. The bad - there is a problem with this doorbell which seems to be something deep down in its hardware or software, it doesn’t always pick up motion. I’ve had random days when it’s failed to detect any motion at the door, including residents leaving and returning, along with a number of different postal deliveries it them missed throughout the day. This despite it having a setting switched on to inform of motion detection and this being set to specifically alert to humans and set to maximum sensitivity and the doorbell provided a specific activity zone to monitor, I.e. the path in front of the door all as recommended by their customer service team. As it cannot be relied on to do half of its job then it’s not very secure to my mind. They provide a little sticker for you to pop in to your window showing that you are “protected by an EUFY security device”, It should say “you are protected if I feel like working on this occasion!” I also bought a spare battery to swap out the battery, as the built in battery and having to lose my doorbell when placing it on charge, was one of my biggest hates on my old Ring 2nd gen unit. The doorbell was going through a battery in less than a week on any off high quality settings, if lowered to less than maximum performance then it lasts a bit longer, may get a week or so, but in my experience you will spend you life and your electric bill constantly charging and changing the battery. There customer service statesmen it should last about 6 months on recommended settings, it in my experience it doesn’t. The Amazon integration works when it’s feels like it, but the required Alexa EUFY security skill has a rating of just 1.5 stars of 5, with many reviewers moaning that the motion alerts supposed to come l through their Alexa devices not working. I experienced this also, having 5 echo dots around the house and with the app set to announce motion and door bell presses at each device, sometimes a motion if, detected at all by the doorbell, would activate only on the EUFY app but with all Alexa devices remaining silent on the matter, sometimes a motion would activate only a single echo device and other times (less often) motion would announce as intended on the app and all echo devices, but not often enough sadly. I think there is a deeper fault for this device, there seems to be a fault at a core or software level and I wonder why they are not bothering to fix it via a software / firmware upgrade and fix the shocking poorly rated Alexa app integration, seems like they don’t care. I speak from the experience of having thoroughly tested 2 brand new units, as the EUfY customer service team were kind enough to send me a brand new replacement when I first contacted them with concerns over the original device not functioning correctly and burning through batteries. They sent me a brand new unit, which functioned as intended a few days before the same problems affected that new replacement device too. Got to hand it to EUFY, their customer service team were willing to send me yet another (third) replacement, but I think it’s a deeper problem as 2 brand new units have had exactly the same issue, so I would avoid this unit until EUFY sort their act out, as in my opinion this unit is not fit for purpose currently and I am returning now and heading back to the safety of a new Ring device with a swappable battery and will have to suffer Ring’s awful subscription plan, as I tried to get away and switch to EUFY, but sadly EUFY have really let me down with their seemingly flawed E340 doorbell. Great promises and intent, poor execution and delivery. One final note is the “locking” device of this doorbell, it’s rubbish. The doorbell clips in to a plastic holder/mount which is nicely screwed in, all good so far, but the unlocking device to release the doorbell from this screwed in mount is a small hole at the top and EUFY provide you with a long pin to stick in this hole to unlock and remove device or replace the battery. The device can be also unlocked by pressing the end of a paper clip in the hole or a cocktail stick or anything long and thin really. There are suggestions of finding a suitable screw and screwing that in to the hole online, but it makes you wonder why the manufacturer can’t think of that or make their device more secure. If you are not using the additional Homebase device for additional storage, then the video storage is held in the internal memory directly on the doorbell, a doorbell that can be stolen very easily if you can find something to pop in the release catch hole, like the end of a paper clip. Not overly secure to my mind and another big floor.

We had a RING (like most people I guess, after recommendations from others). Bought the kit with video doorbell, internal sounder, spare battery, and internal sounder / extender.. all in all just under £200, but then we discover you have to pay another £50 a year to actually be able to use it properly! Super-stroppy RING customer services when I called up to ask about this too, so not impressed. Anyway, it started off ok and yes it is a novelty having a new video doorbell, but after a few months we were changing the battery almost every 3 weeks (and this was after tuning off a lot of the 'battery draining' notification features). In the winter we were lucky to get 10-14 days out of the battery, and our front door is recessed to not totally exposed to the elements. We put up with it but then came across the Eufy system at a friends house. Very impressed, works a treat, and has a home hub system for storing video and clips etc.. so no 'taking the pi*s' subscription. (FYI they do offer a subscription if you want that as a backup, but it is optional, not required for your system to function, and costs way less than RING). So far batteries are lasting a decent time (maybe 5-6weeks between changes). Ours has a dual camera for both human visitors and a lower viewpoint for parcels.... or delivery drivers that try to crawl up to your door without being seen :-( ?? The lower camera can detect parcels left at your door and let you now.. and will also ping you when the parcel has been taken. Install is straight forward, and literally guides you through it (the devises actually speak to you telling you what to do). There is the usual masking features, sensitivity settings, people / pet / car detections etc.. and an AI face detection feature too but I haven't set that up yet. Notification are good and the hub works a treat. It does take a few seconds to view a video clip when your phone pings, but we found no real difference in time between that the the RING cloud service (when it worked). Seems very well built, the tech works a treat, the home hub is a great idea and can even be extended by adding another drive if needed. The hub can connect / control other Eufy devices such as CCFTV, robot vacuums etc.. Would I recommend over a RING? For sure. Way better.

Installed today as upgrade to Eufy single video doorbell. Fabulous uprade and well worth the extra. Also upgraded the base 2 to base 380 and a 512gb hard drive as extra storage, i have also synced in two E40 solar cameras. System really easy set ifyou havee a modicum of common sense, also able read and or follow online instructions. Simple. System all up and running and results are great for quality. Tuis system replaces a several year old Arlo system that has served its purpose well, out of a seven camera set up, only 4 remain operable with 5 batteries remaining. Hoping this Eufy system lasts the test of time. Initial feeling it will be fine, well constructed, sturdy, great visible looks to ensure high visibility to would be wrong doers. Self adhesive window/door stickers to add to the visual noticeability. Video doorbell twin camera, battery looks good quality and a reasonable volume, purchased a spare battery as the five hour charging downtime being an i wont accept. Also purchased extra solar panel boosters as dontime due to not enough battery power when it is not sunny enough to produce enough power via the small inbuilt solar panel, agaun a non operational system is as good as none at all. Hooefully all my concerns are and will be proven wrong, if not i am covered 24/7 if the internet does not fail, the Arlo system automatically reboots itself fully after a power failure or internet failure. Hopefully this Eufy system will perform just as well under extreme conditions. Very impressed with the system upgrades it provides over and above the level of the Arlo system which has mainly been very reliable, hope that Eufy can equal or surpass the reliabity tests. In house recording so safety first with No storage fees, also have full control of drive contents within the safety protected home. 78 year old, if i can set this up, install everthing so anyone should not have issues. Very Happy with my purchase.

I can't yet comment on this on a day-to-day basis but setting this up was the worst setup experience I've had with a new device. It refused to connect to my Eero network, even in legacy mode and with 5Ghz disabled. It refused to connect to a wifi extender running at 2.4hz. It eventually connected to my phone running as a hotspot but then happily connected to my normal wifi, howver the doorbell said it was fine but the app said it wasn't. This took more than an 90 minutes. Then connecting to Alexa said it was succesful but then didn't work. Then we tried again and it did. I had previously installed a Ring doorbell somewhere else and thought that it was a pain in the arse to set up but this is a whole new level. On testing it appears to ring on some of our phones and alexa devices but not all of them. Also, when testing you hear about 3 seconds of audo at the doorbell then it cuts off and they can't hear you and you can't hear them. I'm hoping that this settles down. Updated comments: OK, since I installed it it seems to have settled down and is working as expected. The camera quality seems good, it's alerting with Alexa and now alerting on both our phones (initially I had set it up with the app on both phones using the same account, but it works properly if each app has a different account and you invite the second account from the first. It's also now working fine with Alexa. The wifi issues aren't exclusively related to Eero devices, but having researched it it does appear that Eero is commonly a factor. As Eeros are pretty common and often (at least in the UK) given as free routers from ISPs that needs addressed somehow. I didn't realise it had a night light, which is actually pretty handy as it lights up the door handle as you approach, making it easier to put your key in (although you do get a little night-blind as you walk in and nearly step on a cat! :-D ) I have to give credit to their customer service. Almost immediately after posting this they were in touch asking if they could help of if I wanted a refund, which was very decent of them. I declined since I felt it dishonest as the device does appear to be doing what it should and I intend to keep it. I upped my star rating from a 1 to a 3 as although as a device it seems to do what it says on the tin and I can't fault their customer service, but that initial setup is awful. I work in IT so I was prepared to try stuff to get round it and search on forums for suggestions, but if you're not you would really struggle. If the setup was better I would give it 4.

ممتاز لاتتعدونه نفعني جدا

Dwie kamery, głośnik, AI, wytrzymała bateria i super wygląd to główne zalety. Dodatkowo braku jakichkolwiek opłat miesięcznych. Wady to niedopracowana AI bo nie zawsze rozpoznaje osoby i wykwywa ruch poza wyznaczonym obszarem co jest irytujące. Aplikacja do obsługi średniej jakości z błędnymi tłumaczeniami i błędami.

Definitely One of the best purchases I've made. This camera is excellent, very easy to set up plus you don't have to sign up to any extras, would recommend...

Ich nutze die eufy Security Video Türklingel E340 jetzt schon eine ganze Zeit und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden. Die Klingel arbeitet zuverlässig, reagiert schnell und liefert eine sehr gute Bildqualität in 2K. Besonders praktisch ist die Dual-Kamera, wodurch man nicht nur Personen, sondern auch Pakete im Blick hat. Ich habe die Klingel zunächst im Akkubetrieb genutzt und später zusätzlich per Kabel angeschlossen. Beide Varianten funktionieren einwandfrei. Der Akkubetrieb ist unkompliziert und hält ordentlich durch, während der Kabelbetrieb natürlich noch komfortabler ist, da man sich praktisch nicht mehr um das Laden kümmern muss. Wichtig zu wissen: Im kabelgebundenen Betrieb liegt der Akkustand dauerhaft bei etwa 90 Prozent. Das ist laut Hersteller völlig normal und dient dem Schutz des Akkus, damit er langfristig leistungsfähig bleibt. Der Ladestand bleibt dabei konstant stabil. Auch die Installation und Einrichtung waren einfach und schnell erledigt. In Kombination mit der App läuft alles zuverlässig und ohne laufende Zusatzkosten, was ein großer Vorteil ist. Insgesamt eine sehr durchdachte und hochwertige Video-Türklingel, die ich definitiv weiterempfehlen kann.

Bonne qualité d'image, détection de mouvement sur une longue distance et capture vidéo. Attention le carillon n'est pas inclus si vous souhaitez un usage sans fil ! Il est vendu séparément
