Installing Our Eufy 2K Video Doorbell - Wired

[@francita0076]

Thanks for walking us through the steps to wire the doorbell. You guys are too cute together and extremely entertaining 😊. Thank you!

[@ImportedFromSerbia]

Ours worked good for 2 yrs then started getting offline and online. Customer service is good. I'm gonna get the battery one this time add-on because we have a Base 2.

[@zelium]

Thanks for the video. Does the homebase need to be closer to the doorbell camera unit? Or can it be located anywhere in the house (like the basement) as long as it is connected to the wifi network?

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

Glad you liked the video! The home base can basically be anywhere as long as it has strong wifi connection. Mine is located on a second floor office and it has no issues.

[@donhgr]

It I believe I read works off batteries no matter which one you buy, the wired one however actually uses the wires to continuously charge the battery, the battery only one you must charge every few months !

[@CuriousCyclist]

A pineapple door knocker? Oooh. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 😂

[@karenosullivan5214]

You didn't show how you wired to existing doorbell.

[@hitpoint3]

Thanks for the video! Did you you the jumper cable in the chime box? I see some people do it. Is it to turn off the original chime with the electricity still flowing to the bell or? No expert here :)

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

Not quite sure what you mean, but we didn't touch anything in our chime box because we wanted the original chime to still go off when the doorbell is pressed. The wires shown in the video is both to power the doorbell and power the house's chime box.

[@kardellrozay5908]

Did it work with your existing in home doorbell chime

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

Yes it does! It can work with any existing doorbell chime or you can use the "homebase" it comes with

[@jabsahmed7239]

would you recommend the doorbell? i'm in the market to buy one

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

I'd definitely recommend this doorbell. Amid all of my research, this was the best one for us and it lives up to my expectations.

[@inmanroad9240]

Wasn't that installed a little low to see who is at the door?.. Whats the resolution lIke?... Can you read delivery vehicle number plates on the drive or roadside maybe? How about cutting an extended version of the video with some more day to day experiences, etc

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

Hello! For us it wasn't installed too low. One thing we did was have one person hold the camera, watching the live feed, while the other one walked up the sidewalk. That way we knew where to place it. In our case, you can't really see licenses on vehicles on the road. Driveway, yes, but not road. It does however pick up faces extremely well

[@RoshanDrummer]

Do you have to turn off the circuit braker when installing? Or is switching off the doorbell transformer sufficient?

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

I'm not too sure. We turned off our circuit breaker and tested for inactive electricity with a multimeter. If you went with the turning off just the transformer, I'd still double check with an instrument. Safest is turning off the breaker.

[@bakakallu411]

Hi! If I wire the Eufy doorbell, it will work during a power outage and operate on battery power?

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

Hello! If you get the model we did, then yes it should use the battery if the power goes out. It'll save "events/detections" locally and when the power comes back on, those events will be viewable on your phone

[@RickFarris]

What was in the box?

[@wildegans4199]

A Tesla model X

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

It came with a bunch of stuff. There's the 2k video doorbell, mounting bracket, the 15 degree wedge to offset the doorbell if desired, the homebase 2 (brains of the system, local storage, and another chime if you wanted), ethernet cable, screws, extension wires, and charging cables. Has all you could need aside from tools

Donuts!!!

[@makefixtest4820]

How does your two-way voice feature sound? I have exact same one and there’s a lot of static at the doorbell when someone talks from inside.

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

Our two-way voice feature sounds normal. We don't experience static sounds that you described when doing a 2 way conversation

[@MVDSo2]

So No need to install new Transformer with this ?

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

Nope, we were able to simply use the pre-existing doorbell wires since it had the correct power output for the Eufy

[@michaeldean7220]

Don't you really also need to show how to set up the Homebase since on initial set up I believe it has to be connected by Ethernet to your broadband router?

[@AJandMariaDelposen]

The Homebase just needs to be connected using ethernet, doesn't have to be the actual broadband router though. It could be an extender in another room. We left it out because it just gets connected with ethernet and power, then nothing else really.

[@scgook]

Thx for the video. But about 5mins is just a waste of time

[@miguelfm3102]

She wanted the white one

[@marcozegikniet9301]

Problem is that they can easy steal these things.
