Great product we replaced our Eufy single camera doorbell that has been working great for 3 years with a the new dual camera doorbell. The dual camera doorbell was easy to install and eliminates any possibility of not seeing a package left on your porch.

A good doorbell cam made better

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Over 3 years ago I reviewed a Eufy doorbell cam that is pretty much the same as this one except it’s a single camera. It has worked flawlessly since I installed it. I have no reason not to expect the same with this one.
Installation and setup was easy. Instructions are pretty straightforward. You will need a WiFi router and internet to use this device. The faster, the better. The same for setup with the app. You will need to set up an account to use the app and camera. In my case, that was done several years ago and all I had to do was “add device”. The doorbell cam I reviewed a few years ago came with the base and this doorbell cam works with it too. If you want it to. You have the option. One of the things I like with both is that they come with a wedge shaped plate-spacer that gives you the option to angle the camera a little to face the person at your door as opposed to it looking straight ahead and the subject to the side of the frame in the video.
The doorbell cam can operate on a swappable rechargeable battery or by the 24 volts AC that powers hard wired doorbells. If you are powering the doorbell cam from where a wired doorbell was, you have the option for the doorbell cam to ring the wired doorbell or just ring through the app or optional basebox. You can link to Alexa as well.
As for the app, you have many options for video quality, audio recording, listen / talk, auto switch to infrared at night, snooze motion sensing, familiar faces, notifications and more.
You draw out where you want the doorbell cam to look for motion if you want. You can have it look only for people or any motion. There are sensitivity settings too, to keep down false trigger. Notification options for simply on your phone, to ringing a hard wired doorbell and optional basebox they call home box.
One thing I like is that everything is stored locally on the device which has 8GB (expandable to 128GB via microSD card) of encrypted memory. No subscription needed, however, you do have an option for cloud storage too. If you add the home box 3, you can expand video memory to 16TB.
The dual camera doorbell cam is a pretty interesting option. Especially if you’re worried about someone trying to evade a standard forward looking doorbell cam. A porch pirate could crawl under the line of sight of the doorbell cam and not be detected. Not with this doorbell cam. At my house, you have to climb steps to a landing and then turn to the right to continue onto the front porch. This doorbell cam detects people coming up the steps where the previous one did not. If you have steps leading up to your door, this doorbell cam is what you need.
You have options for the camera’s night vision. Color night vision that uses white LED lighting on the top and bottom of the doorbell, automatic infrared night vision that uses IR LEDs and 2 white LEDs at the bottom of the doorbell and off. Off is no light emitted from the camera at all at any time.
You can snooze motion detection from 30 minutes to 12 hours. If you have the home base, you can select to snooze motion detection or home base or both. If you have multiple Eufy cameras, I have 3, you can set app options for them up individually. That means snoozing 1 to say 1 hour, another to 2 hours and the third, not at all. Motion detection areas, notifications, video quality and settings and audio setting. Options may vary by camera. For example, my Eufy floodlight camera pro, that pans and scans, doesn’t support home base.
Image quality is very good for both cameras. Of course, it depends on video quality streaming settings. As far as I know, it records at the best quality. The image is sharp and clear and the colors are punchy too. Shadows are pulled up in backlit scenes to allow you to see faces. You also have an HDR (High Dynamic Range) option if you have very high contrast scenes depending on the time of day. Say the sun is shining behind the person at your door. They would be a silhouette without either a light shining on them or image processing to brighten the shadows. The app has viewing options for split screen or picture in picture. You can pinch and pull to zoom and pan the video in both live view and playback. Keeping the camera lenses clean will keep your videos looking good too.
Conclusion: I highly recommend this doorbell cam. I’ve reviewed other brands too, and I think Eufy makes some of the better ones available. I had to use their support on the floodlight cam a year ago. It was under warranty, they were great to deal with and they took care of it promptly by sending me a new one. No problems with it so far.

The doorbell works excellent. I’ve had it for over 6 months and so far no problems. Well, there was one problem at first. Due to operator error… when installing. I wired it in backwards which caused it to use the battery and started to drian. As soon as I switched it. It was good to go. Highly recommend. Especially if you are not wanting to pay for subscription.

The Eufy E340 video doorbell is a high quality product, easy to install and feature rich.
Included with the doorbell is a flat and angled wall mount with associated hardware for mounting and electrical connection.
The E340 Can be used on battery power only or connected to existing wiring, using the battery only as a back up.
The doorbell is very attractive with a modern design.
I have had other video doorbells, but what sets this apart is that it has dual cameras. A 2k video camera facing forward and 1080P camera facing down for package detection.
It also has led lights facing upward towards a persons face and downward to illuminate packages.
These lights can be manually turned on and off, but will always turn on when someone approaches your door when there is little ambient light.
I am using the doorbell in battery mode. I have had issues with short battery life with other brands. After 5 days of very heavy use, (90 notifications and 81 recorded videos) trying out every feature and setting multiple times, I have 95% battery remaining, which is excellent.
Once you have downloaded the Eufy app, installation is quick and easy. The app will guide you along.
One of the most important features to me is that your videos are stored locally. You are not forced to pay a monthly fee for cloud storage, even though that is available if you choose. This is one of the very few brands that gives you that option.
I have had another brand video doorbell, and after 2 years I could have purchased this doorbell with the money I was forced to append on cloud storage.
This product is so feature rich and very customizable.
You can have the video show in split screen with the person in the top half and the package at the bottom. Or you can show picture in picture with a full screen of the person and a small screen of the package. You can also invert that picture and the small screen can be moved to any corner.
The doorbell is also capable of Familiar Face Recognition so that you know when a specific person is at the door.
I have set the doorbell to work with Google assistant. I can see the live screen on my Google Hub Max or on any of my tvs by just asking Google to show the doorbell on a specific device.
Once you bring up the device in the app you can see the number of visitors and deliveries that you had for the day.
You can then click on events to see the videos. You can also set the doorbell to watch you packages and alert you if someone approaches the package.
Video quality and length can also be customized, as well as activity zone, sensitivity and audio volume.
In daily operation I found the doorbell to be very accurate and quick with notifications. Video quality is clear.
The Eufy app is well laid out and intuitive. If you have a question, there is a chat with a bot, which I found very useful.
If the bot does not answer your question to your satisfaction you will then be connected to a live representative.
I am very happy with the Eufy E340 video doorbell and would recommend this to everyone.

Smart Doorbell with Impressive Color Night Vision
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
My experience with the Eufy E340 doorbell has been mostly positive. One standout feature is the Color Night Vision, which provides clear visibility of my doorstep, even in the dark. This is particularly useful during the holiday season when I have a lot of deliveries and decorations to keep an eye on, especially to prevent vandalism.
Eufy's local storage option, as opposed to relying solely on the cloud, is a big selling point for me. The expandable local storage on the HomeBase 3 enhances this feature, allowing me to add a hard drive and increase storage capacity for several days of footage.
I chose the hardwired setup to avoid dealing with rechargeable batteries during harsh winters. Installation was a breeze since my existing transformer was compatible with this new Eufy model.
The added angled package camera is a thoughtful touch, enabling me to keep an eye on deliveries when I am not at home. These little details enhance the user experience.
However, the Eufy E340 lacks Continuous Video Recording, a feature I enjoyed with my previous Eufy doorbell. While the human and animal detection algorithm captures most events, having continuous recording as a backup would be reassuring.
Additionally, the mismatch in hole patterns for mounting the device was an inconvenience, requiring me to drill additional holes in my house. This was an oversight on Eufy's part.
In conclusion, the Eufy E340 doorbell is a valuable addition to my home security system. It offers Color Night Vision, expandable local storage, easy installation, and thoughtful features like the angled package camera. While there's room for improvement, it provides advanced security and peace of mind, making it a reliable addition to my home.

The video seems to look yellow on the top camera and whenever I open the live view it takes a while to load unless I have a defective product?
I had better expectations and just realized I can’t return it, maybe I should of stayed with my previous doorbell camera

Terrific improvement over their single lens model

This is now the eighth piece of Eufy equipment I have protecting my home, both inside and outside, so pretty familiar with the installation and operation of their products. The E340 now replaces their original single lens doorbell at my front door which has served my faithfully for about two years now. It's not dead though, I have doorbell wiring at the rear of the house, so it will just be getting a new job!
Installation is straightforward and provided in the package, also duplicated in the app to guide you through. Using existing doorbell wiring is the best option, as you don't have to be concerned about charging the unit every 3-6 months. I also have the Eufy Home Base which connects all my products and provides a ring tone; however, you have a choice of using your existing doorbell chime. I had a small issue with the install; the mounting holes for the screws didn't line up with the previous model, so I had to drill one new hole. One other issue, there is a QR code printed on the back of the unit which you scan with the app to activate it. On the unit I got, the scan failed, looking closer I saw there was some type of slight smudge defect on the code itself which prevented it from being read. Luckily, they provide a printed code number below it, so I just had to enter the digits manually, and it popped right up.
Picture quality is excellent, both day & night. It didn't take long to test it out, shortly after installation I received a delivery, and a notification popped up informing me of that. After retrieving it, got another notification that package had been picked up.
There are multiple adjustments that can be made via the app. One in particular I like is "Familiar Faces" where you can tag facial recognition for your friends/family which will skip notifications. Motion detection has multiple choices for all motion or human only, you can modify the activity zone; for instance, my camera will catch part of the street, I don't need notifications for every car passing by. Likewise, you can also adjust the camera's sensitivity. Put it on high, and you'll be notified of every insect passing by! I learned that the hard way after getting multiple "moth alerts" at night.
There are also "response settings", you can customize auto responses to doorbell rings. However, after being a Eufy customer for at least 3 years now, I can tell you the best feature - there's no subscription! Everything I've ever gotten from them is still in service, and I can say the few times I've called them I've spoken to a responsive help team. Very glad to have received this product, and will continue to support the company in the future (as long as it remains subscription free! - lol)

Eufy E340 Video Doorbell Adds New Capabilities

Eufy Video Doorbell E340
For me, the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 is an upgrade from an earlier Eufy doorbell. This model had dual cameras--front and bottom, lights at the top and bottom that turn on when someone approaches, provides color images during daylight and in darkness, and can operate either hard-wired into an existing doorbell connection or wirelessly with a rechargeable battery.
The Eufy E340 kit includes the main unit, rechargeable battery, mounting plate, and an adjustment plate to angle the doorbell mount for a better view. The kit also includes a 22-inch USB 2-to-USB-C charging cord that you can plug into any USB 2 power supply.
Setup and installation are relatively easy. The doorbell syncs with your smartphone using the Eufy app, available free at Apple and Android stores. You need only a screwdriver to install the doorbell on a wooden door frame, and a drill to install on concrete or brick.
Video chat with the person at the door via your smartphone, anywhere. Receive notifications and video clips to your smart watch via your smartphone.
This Eufy Doorbell has several new capabilities, compared to my older model. Since I already own a Eufy Doorbell chime, I believe its SD card will store video clips for me. If you own or plan to purchase other Eufy devices, then you can build out a home security system.
Advantages:
- choose from wireless installation or wired installation (using existing doorbell wiring)
- use a traditional doorbell chime, a Eufy doorbell chime (purchase separately), or an Alexa device (purchase separately)
- rechargeable battery is easy to remove for charging
- dual cameras, including high-resolution main camera
- color images (color by day and black and white at night with older model)
- store doorbell video clips on Eufy Homebase security hub (purchase separately)
Disadvantages:
- with wireless installation, the doorbell is not operational while charging the battery
- you must purchase another device to store video clips.

We’ve used video doorbells at our house for many years. Our front door and interior garage door were our main areas of concern, but we recently decided that adding one to our sliding glass door that leads to our back patio made good sense. Even though it’s not a heavy foot traffic area for guests, we have needed to watch our dogs and needed to communicate with each other when we don’t take our phone outside with us. Adding this eufy doorbell was a great option for those purposes.
First of all, we already had an existing eufy ecosystem in our home. We have two eufyCam 2 Pros, a Floodlight camera, a SmartDrop delivery box, and now this doorbell. All of our preexisting devices were easy to install so we thought this doorbell would be a no-brainer when it came to adding it to our system. We were right. Installation is a breeze. There is no complicated set up. You simply charge the battery for the camera and install it in the camera body. Then, you use the app to walkthrough the remaining setup, which includes connection to your WiFi.
This doorbell can be used as a wired or wireless device. If you are using it as a wired device, you have to have an existing doorbell wiring harness to tap into. We opted to use this doorbell wirelessly only and run it off its battery. So, once you have the device connected to the app, you can proceed with installing the mounting plate. The appropriate hardware is included.
I’ve had trouble connecting to other video doorbells in the past but not this one. I have found that it helps if you do the initial connection when you are close to your router. Once it’s connected, the device tends to stay connected to the network better — even if you move it to a new location.
In this particular case, I am very impressed with how well the doorbell connects to our router. The router is located on the opposite end of our home and the doorbell has maintained a 100% connection to the network, even when it’s outside. The images and video that I’ve gotten from the doorbell have been clear and easy to read. I am really impressed with the dual video view. This helps tremendously when monitoring our dogs when they come to the door.
The app is easy to navigate, too. The main screen of the app shows all your devices in your eufy ecosystem and when you select it you can view its settings or the live feed. You can also view how many events have been recorded by your doorbell and view them as needed.
The only thing I really wish I could adjust is the camera angle. The mounting plates that come with it provide a small angle plate, which I am using, but it would be great to be able to adjust where the camera is pointing without having to physically move the unit. Other than that, I don’t have any major complaints on this product. The battery seems to take a long time to charge and it only works on a 2.4GHz network, but overall it’s a great smart home device.

Had a ring doorbell, wanted to try something different and this caught my eye with the no subscrition recording. Installed very easy, setup easy, user friendly. I love being able to see packages with the bottom camera, the light when it detects motion. The on board storage is nice and can expand with the homebase if desired. Only issue is i do get false package delivered/picked notifications pretty often, especially when my govee lights are on and moving. Aside from that, its been great and even added the 360 floodlight. Will be adding more eufy cameras in the future.

Eufy's Dual Lens Magic
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
What we should anticipate from a smart doorbell has been completely redefined by the Eufy Security Doorbell E340. I had been looking for a dependable video doorbell and was eager to test this one out. It did impress me, though.
The E340 offers amazing visual quality with 2K HDR resolution. The dual lens technology makes sure that every detail is caught with breathtaking clarity whether it is day or night. I was astounded by how clean, clear, and sharp the footage was despite the low lighting.
The E340's hybrid zoom feature is one of its best qualities. The doorbell truly shines in this situation. I was able to recognize persons or objects at a distance because to its capacity to zoom in up to 4x without seeing any apparent clarity loss. This level of specificity is revolutionary, especially if security is an issue. I was able to tell if the person at my doorstep was the mailman or a neighbor without having to squint at my phone anymore. With the hybrid zoom, it was really clear.
Surprisingly easy to set up was the Eufy Security Doorbell E340. It was simple to do thanks to the supplied user manual, and I was up and running in no time. The Eufy app is highly user-friendly and enables you to tweak settings and get fast notifications when motion is detected. The doorbell connects smoothly to your home's Wi-Fi network.
In terms of motion sensing, the E340 was remarkably precise. With built-in AI technology, it could distinguish between people, pets, and packages, decreasing false alarms brought on by moving objects like cars or trees.
Another appealing aspect was the two-way audio. Through the Eufy app, I could not only see who was at my door but also talk to them. This feature came in quite handy, whether I was giving instructions to a delivery person or just letting a friend know I was on my way.
This Doorbell's local integrated 8GB storage capacity is something else that makes it unique. If you have a eufy homebase, you may save an unlimited number of events for free while also having the option to keep video on the cloud for a little price. Eufy also ensures that your data is secure and confidential by using the most up-to-date encryption.
The E340 is a stylish addition to any front entrance because of its sleek, contemporary, and incredibly robust design and high-quality construction. It didn't feel intrusive because to its thin shape and subdued branding.
It's rather impressive considering Eufy claims a single charge can last up to six months. You can choose to wire this with your current doorbell arrangement if you want even longer battery life; I chose the wired option.
Overall, the Eufy Security Doorbell E340 has elevated the bar for smart doorbells with its 2K resolution, two lens hybrid zoom, and a variety of other excellent features. It's a dependable, user-friendly home security system that gives peace of mind. The Eufy E340 is a great option whether you're wanting to improve your home security or just want a practical way to keep a watch on your doorstep. It's a wise investment that offers an additional degree of security for your house, your loved ones, and particularly your goods.
