The significant issue with Eufy "security" is that the wireless cameras will go offline randomly. I 've had my five Eufycam 2 and three Homebase2 for nearly two years, and cameras will go offline and come back online randomly and for varying lengths of time. Homebases are not moved, cameras are mounted, and weather conditions are not a factor. For example, a particular camera (which has a strong wifi connection and is less than 20ft away) may go offline for just a couple of minutes and come back online without me "interfering," and other times it could be a month. Rebooting the appropriate HB does not help. In the end, Eufy does not really provide reliable security. In spite of this, I got a wireless doorbell recently.

Since eufy seems to contact you I am leaving my questions comments on your video. 1. I would purchase a PoE eufy doorbell if available. I install a lot of Ring Elite because of this feature. 2. They need to update their software to automatically delete old recordings after X number of days (user selectable). In order to delete old recordings you have to go day by day, which is not friendly. Otherwise I have had my eufy doorbell for about 2 years and it is great. Thank you for the video review and hopefully eufy gets my message.

Excellent side-by-side comparison. I’m especially impressed by the way eufy has contacted you so quickly and is so willing to work to improve their products.

I have to wonder if not recording both sides of the conversation has something to do with privacy concerns? I was hoping that the wired doorbell would be Apple HomeKit compatible but it never will be according to eufy. Eufy Did however tell me that the battery doorbell will be Apple HomeKit compatible soon... The eufy cam 2’s are HomeKit compatible and working well

Most video doorbells have this issue..not recording both sides and I don’t think it is I because of privacy. Ring always have these feature on their cameras and Nest took a year to update the Nest Hello to record both sides. I think it is from where these companies by their chipset which is probably from one manufacturer. Thank you.

LifeHackster - Are there any video doorbells that are Homekit compatible? For years, ring promised they were going to work with HomeKit but it never came to pass. Eufy “says” Homekit is coming to the eufy battery doorbell but not the wired version... Apple doesn’t even allow the watermark time date stamp on the eufy cam 2’s. It gets removed as soon as you add them to HomeKit for privacy. I really don’t think Apple is going to allow two sided conversations to be recorded due to privacy concerns.

I posted this message to another UT channel, but thought I'd post it to yours too. Enjoyed the video very much. Great job. I did want to tell you that I've had the Eufy Doorbell for about 6 months now in between many others, but this is my second one. It is constantly missing alot, and Eufy replaced it about 3 months ago saying that it might have been defective, but this one is doing the same. I will leave the house, it picks-up nothing, but catches me coming home. The mail comes with a HUGH, I did say Hugh RIGHT ? TRUCKS parking out front delivering multiple packages making several trips, and it never showed anything until the third trip walking away with 8 boxes sitting there like WHERE DID THOSE COME FROM? This happens several times a week, and sometimes in a day. I've had MANY Doorbells starting with Ring, SkyBell, Kangaroo(JUNK), Ezviz, Nest Hello, Remo-W, Arlo(NOT Worth it). Eufy is my favorite but I'm still looking because it misses to much, and that could be really bad. I did order a New Wize Doorbell because I've been using there cameras for years hoping it's as great as there camera's that I've been using outside for over a year in the snow ,and rain that are NOT even out door cameras, but still working beautiful at the cheapest cost I've ever seen for all they have.

Also, the wired doorbell storing footage within the doorbell (which can easily be stolen) and the battery doorbell storing footage in the home base (inside the house, therefore, much more secure) is a huge difference.

You might be able to help me with the detection. I only installed the battery unit earlier this week and I found out that the recording starts only when a person is a couple of meters from the bell. I would like to have the recording started a bit earlier. Eufy should remove the doorbell from sleep mode when it is wired as the sleep mode not only effects detection range, but also in the delay issues. The battery doorbell already recognises whether it is connected to the battery or wired as it is shown by the little icon on the apps.

The video quality on the wired 2K doorbell looks much better than what is was when you first reviewed it (updates?). I'm trying to decide between the wired Eufy 2K & the Ring Pro 2. The fact that a subscription is not required with the Eufy is a plus, however as storage is within the doorbell & is not combatiable with the Homebase its a negative should it be stolen or damaged. Ring Pro 2 looks to have a slightly better video quality than the wired Eufy 2K.

I would love to setup integrations with my other eufy devices so the connection with homebase 2 is important to me. Another is, can the wired one connect to an old school chime (possibly analog) like the battery one does or, does it only connect to alexa/google home and the chime that comes with it? Last question, do both support Apple Homekit?

The ideal would be if Eufy created one like the first door bell that communicated with the 16gb accessory that sits inside of the house. On one hand you have the one that has the battery capability and bigger storage that is kept safe inside of the house, but the door bell is pretty bulky; on the other hand you have one that looks sleek but has a small storage which is located on the machine itself. I was thinking about buying the bulky one due to the bigger storage that is kept inside of the house, now that they fixed the issues that you mentioned. However, I am concerned that a few months later, they release a new one that is sleek like the first one and can communicate with the 16gb device, then I will be stuck with the bulky one.

Nice comparison review! Thank you. Very interesting on the trigger seed and the 3 second pre-record, making them virtually identical. On the bug front, there appears to be an audio bug, at least in the wired 2k model working with Bluetooth headset on android phones. I tried this on two different phones and headsets, and on a completely different installation (friends install). The recorded audio works fine, as does when using a eufy camera mic and speaker, but live audio transfers to the phone and will not play through the BT headset. Even worse, it interrupts the audio (say music) that you are listening to on the headset, then instead of transferring the audio to the headset, it turns on the speakerphone mode on your cell phone. Since i typically use my BT headset all day, this bug is a big annoyance to me. It wold be great if you did some false positive testing (triggers but no person present) and false negative (fails to properly capture the arrival of a person, particularly with a package. I have found my wired 2K lacking in every setting. It works pretty well in several settings during the day, but i get around 4 false positives per hour all night long, unless it is set to 1/5 (least sensitive) where it never sees any people, but still gets some FP triggers at night. They really need more work on the motion settings and processing. It is sort of useless without good motion sensing, as it will just be ignored, making it a simple doorbell, that doesn't work with normal door chimes.

Great video, a few questions please. #1 The battery version (wired) would basically be a battery backup for power failure? #2 So with the base unit being on UPS and the camera and base being on its own network your security system will never go down because local loss of power or Internet, I.e your gateway has to be on UPS also. True? Could that be part of your next review? #3 pairing more than one camera with a base unit? #4 adding a chime unit to existing base unit? #5 16 GB micro SD isn't very big, can the base unit accept a bigger SD card.? #6 is there a time limit on how long video is stored or is the new video rolled over the oldest video captured.? Sorry if some of these topics were covered in the comments thread but I didn't see them so I am asking. BTW. You picked up a new subscriber today...!...

Have Eufy fixed the wired door bell colour recording issue using night vision. This video says it is an issue and Eufy needs to address it. Has it been addressed since this video was made?
