eufy - Video Doorbell E340 & SoloCam S340, Dual Cameras, 2K Full HD, Solar Security Wireless Outdoor Cameras - black+white

Both the Video Doorbell E340 and SoloCam S340 can work without a HomeBase. They connect directly to your Wi-Fi network and record events to their built-in storage (E340 doorbell has 8GB internal storage; SoloCam S340 supports a microSD card up to 128GB). You can view live feeds, playbacks, and receive notifications directly from the eufy Security app on your phone. Does the app work the same as with a HomeBase? The app provides all core features (live view, playback, alerts, AI detection) regardless of whether you use a HomeBase. However, there are some limitations when not using a HomeBase: Storage: Without a HomeBase, storage is limited to the device's internal memory (E340) or an installed microSD card. A HomeBase 3 provides centralized, expandable local storage (up to 2TB via external drive). 24/7 Continuous Recording: This feature is only available when the camera is connected to a HomeBase 3 (requires a microSD card in the HomeBase for continuous recording mode). Enhanced AI: Advanced AI features like facial recognition require a HomeBase 3. Audio alerts/voice responses: Basic audio controls are available via the app; a HomeBase provides a dedicated speaker for sirens and answer shouts. Bottom line: The E340 and S340 work fully standalone with the app for motion-triggered events, local storage, and remote access. A HomeBase is optional and adds centralized storage, continuous recording, and enhanced AI capabilities.

Yes, the eufy Video Doorbell E340 and SoloCam S340 work fully **without a subscription**. Both devices have local storage (the doorbell has 8GB built-in, the camera records to a microSD card or HomeBase 3) and offer AI detection, 2K recording, and remote viewing with no monthly fees. Optional cloud storage is available but not required.

The eufy Video Doorbell E340 does not include an indoor chime unit in its package by default. However, you have the option to use a separately sold eufy Security doorbell chime, a traditional doorbell chime (if available), or even an Amazon Alexa Echo Show device as a chime. Additionally, if connected to a HomeBase 2 or HomeBase 3 (sold separately), you can configure alerts through the HomeBase or use an Add-On Chime to set up a ringtone for the doorbell.

Yes, the doorbell can be installed on an electrical box if it meets the wiring requirements and installation conditions. When mounting the bracket, use the provided screws on a hard wall (such as brick, concrete, or stucco) or wooden walls, as specified. If existing doorbell wiring is available and functional, ensure the wiring meets the doorbell's requirement of 16-24VAC, 30VA or above. Proper precautions, like shutting off power at the circuit breaker and connecting wires tightly without touching each other, are necessary during installation to prevent electrical hazards.
