eufy Security Video Doorbell (Wired) S330 with Chime, Dual Cam, Delivery Guard, Security Camera, 2K with HDR, No Monthly Fee, 16-24V, 30VA, homebase NOT Supported, Motion Only Alert

TLDR: Stop looking. As of 2024, this is the perfect doorbell. This Eufy Dual-cam wired doorbell is the second wired doorbell I’ve owned, although the first was a different brand. IMHO, it’s a major upgrade. This doorbell beats every other one out there right now, for several reasons. It can be used alone, or as part of a security system that includes cameras, spotlights, and sirens, or anything else you want to add using the ITTT system (unofficially/unsupported, but it does work). It has 4Gb of internal storage, which is the second reason I love this doorbell. It stores everything locally, instead of in the cloud. No worries about someone hacking your stuff, and seeing when you come home or leave, so they can ransack your place without being bothered. The list goes on. The next reason I love this, is that it has TWO cameras. The main cam is 2k resolution, and the bottom, or “package cam”, is 1080p. Both work perfectly, with far less lag than I had with the other one. I always hated that I couldn’t see my packages, and now with the two cameras, I can. Both cameras are AI supported. The doorbell will recognize humans, as well as packages, and gives you a snapshot of the person’s face. It will tell you when a package has arrived, and also when someone picks it up, whether that’s you or someone else. There are zero annual fees, and I was previously paying $50/yr for the cheapest plan. So in less than 3 years, I’ll have paid for this by not having to subscribe to a cloud service — just to use the doorbell I OWN. I can download any and all videos I want, or share them right from the app. Installation was a breeze. Use the included jumper wire to jump the two existing wire connections on the bell chime inside your house. Go outside and screw the baseplate to the house, connect the two wires from your old doorbell to the new doorbell, and snap on the doorbell to the baseplate. Done. The app walks you through setting it up on your phone, and it only took about 3 minutes total. The app itself is easy to navigate, and has loads of options for how to view the cameras, where to store the clips, and pretty much anything you can think of. You can also create groups, search for events, and add any other Eufy device to the app, from cameras to vacuums. There’s even a new AI-powered option called “cross-camera tracking” that allows you to follow a person automatically as they pass through your area of operation. I haven’t tried that yet, but probably will soon. Bottom line – I spent several months investigating what I considered the perfect security system, which includes a doorbell that can see guests as well as packages, and indoor and outdoor cameras. I wanted the system to store everything locally, have zero annual fees, and work as well as, or better than, any others. Eufy wins, and nothing else even comes close. Incidentally, I also have 12 other Eufy cams, both indoor and out, and everything works together perfectly. I hope this helps.

I just installed this Eufy S330 wired doorbell and so far it is fantastic. I have tried the cheap no name wired video doorbell in the $40.00 range. It had constant false alarms poor video quality but it was only $40.00. I have had two Nest wired doorbells they don't seem to hold up much longer than two years. One went dead on me and the latest one gives me very late notifications or just failed to notify me at all. I said enough of Nest video doorbells. After doing some online research the Eufy video doorbell had good reviews. So I purchased this S330 video doorbell. This is a review for the refurbished model. It was a significant savings ($50) and I thought I would give it a try. So when I plugged it in to my USB power supply and followed the instructions it worked great. I installed the included jumper wire in my old electromechanical doorbell on the wall I measured 16.5VAC at the doorbell. I installed the Eufy S330 and nothing at all, no lights or power! I figured this is why it was probably returned and went through a refurbishing process. On further inspection I noticed that the actual screws on the Eufy S330 are painted black or are anodized black. Also the actual contacts seemed to be slightly below the plastic housing of the doorbell. So I added two small tooth washers to bite into the screws and make a good connection. This worked perfectly. Why Eufy didn't do this from the factory is beyond me. Anyway I tested it and updated the firmware. Things looked pretty good at this point but the Eufy diagnostics was reporting that the transformer was not powerful enough. So I replaced the transformer with a 20VAC 1.5 amp one that I had lying around. The diagnostics reported no problem after the transformer swap. The video quality is really sharp and the colors are crisp. It blows away the Nest Video doorbell!! The lower camera for packages looks very good too. The notifications are quick within a second. So far I am extremely pleased with this Eufy S330 wired doorbell. I hope it lasts a long time. Just a few tips; make sure you have a transformer that will supply enough current to the Eufy video doorbell. The specs are 16-24volts A.C. at 30VA. So if you have a 20 VAC transformer you need 1.5 amps (30/20=1.5). 24 VAC would be 1.25 amps, 16 VAC would be 1.875 amps, etc. Also make sure you peel off the plastic on the mounting plate. This uncovers the thermal pad. This pad contacts the doorbell camera for thermal dissipation. The doorbell camera uses the mount for heat dissipation.

The eufy video doorbell has amazing features, on paper. And it if worked smoothly, it would be one of the best options out there, however: - the video feed is often very slow to load, if it loads at all - if the "auto night vision" feature is turned on, sometimes the doorbell overheats and disconnects from wifi. Then you have to wait until morning for the night vision to turn off in order to reconnect to the video doorbell, and turn off "auto night vision" - same inconsistency if 24/7 recording is turned on - so I used the video doorbell for a year without night vision and without 24/7 recording, more or less smoothly. But just over a year into use, the doorbell has started crashing several times. Each time it crashes, the chime no longer works, so I have had guests wait outside without me knowing until they text. When it crashes, pressing the reset button on the back of the doorbell does not fix anything. I have to power cycle the doorbell at the circuit breaker box to get the doorbell to reset. -when i described this issue to eufy support, a representative offered to send a replacement. However, I received no email /tracking confirmation for a replacement. Now, two months later trying to reach back out to eufy support, they have been replaced by an AI chat not that cannot look up my past support chat history. I am solidly out of warranty now - my experiences are not a fluke. Sort the Amazon review by "most recent" and you'll see a trend

I tested multiple video doorbells after Skybell pulled the rug out from under 10s of 1000s of users of their product (they came up with a new app, forced the old app to stop working and then made the legacy door bells unusable with the new app - hard to believe but they don't seem to care). I tried some of the well known brands and some lesser known brands of video doorbells. None come close to the Eufy for functionality, clarity, stability and reliability, even those costing twice as much. The app has many useful features like the default split view to see the floor area where the camera is (to see packages) as well as the entire upper area at the same time. There is face detection, human detection, package detection and the ability to geo-fence the detection areas to avoid false alarms. The activity notifications sent to my phone are immediate, clear and include video of the event. There is NO SUBSCRIPTION charge for the videos. Two way communication with people at the door are clear and with plenty of volume (adjustable). This does not work with your existing doorbell chime but has it's own chime that plugs in to a wall socket so you can place one or more anywhere in the house. The chime can be scheduled to be silent for whatever time period you set (during sleep hours for example). You can set the door bell to give automatic spoken greetings when someone pushes the button or approaches the door if you aren't there, don't want to answer or having a nap, etc.. Very useful. Does not connect to 5g wifi but with 2.4g it has a very stable connection. Requires a transformer that can manage 24V minimum. Existing door bells will have a transformer already at the electrical panel, just need to check the voltage to make sure it's at least 24V. There are no batteries to change (powered by the existing doorbell wires). Also, since no batteries, it works in extreme heat and cold. Very satisfied with this product.

Very good doorbell camera. It has a fairly wide angle of view, comes with a angling shim to allow the camera to observe more of the area you want covered rather than the wall of your house. Easy to install if you already have preexisting doorbell wiring in place. Most older doorbell transformers will need to be upgraded. I was lucky enough to find the transformer for our doorbell in the doorbell chime housing and so replacing the transformer was also easy. The doorbell did work with the old transformer, it was just a bit dodgy at times but still was able to pick up and record motion. I like the prerecorded messages. A parcel was delivered and when I opened the front door to retrieve it, Eufy clocked me right away and confronted me on the removal of my package from my door step. Way to go EUFY! Keeping a clsoe eye on things. Glad it isn’t “armed”. LOL. The picture quality is very good, nice and clear and not grainy like a lot of other door bell cams. Notifications are prompt and the app is very easy to use. I have replaced all the security cameras from Blink and Arlo with the Eufy system because they work. I’ve have nothing but connection issues with the Blink cameras and also the Arlo Cameras and their picture quality is not that good. Very happy with Eufy overall.

I bought the item in March of 2024, and for the first few months it functioned well and was easy to install. I installed the device and noticed a slight delay in sound and video, but I still chose to keep it because, for me, monitoring and recording are the most important things. By the end of August, it constantly disconnecting from the internet and requires constant troubleshooting, which involves removing and resetting the device, which I find to be very annoying. Surprisingly, when I contacted the manufacturer directly, they told me that used products are only covered by a 90-day warranty and would not cover it under a 1-year warranty. Prior to purchasing this item, I made clarifications about the warranty and was informed that it would still cover a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase, similar to the new ones.

I'm really impressed with the Eufy video doorbell. The video quality is fantastic, and the fact that there are no monthly fees for storage is a huge plus. The setup was pretty straightforward, and the app is easy to navigate and get alerts. The two-way audio works well, and the motion detection is accurate without being overly sensitive. My only real gripe is the compatibility with older doorbell chimes. I have a traditional chime in my home, and getting it to work seamlessly with the Eufy doorbell was a bit of a headache. The wiring and power requirements were more complicated than I anticipated, and I had to spend some extra time troubleshooting to get it right. It would be a much smoother experience if they made this aspect a bit easier for older homes. Despite the chime issue, the doorbell itself is an excellent product. It's reliable, has great features, and the local storage option saves a lot of money in the long run. I'm happy with my purchase, but just be prepared to do a little extra work if you have a non-standard chime.

5 Stars for Eufy, I bought 2 months a go eufy wireless door locks and loved the retrofit installation. Its so easy to install and the only thing you need is to remove door lock from inside. So i am not worried about -40 temperature now coz indoor locks temp will remain constant, the weatherproof wireless keypad makes the door lock system complete. Best part i can manage the entry, access remotely, generate user PIN's, grants temporary and time based. Later i bought eufy wired door bell, which is another great product. The new door bell has dual camera one for front view and one for package view which shows foot steps of the door. like regular CCTV camera i can create activity zones in door bell also. It has pre recorded 3 voice announcements which can be setup to trigger if someone approaches the door or try to steal your package. Since that was not enough and then i bought eufy outdoor wired cameras. I am amazed with the camera quality. The cameras was reasonably priced if i compare it with the product quality. The wired S200 series camera comes with a magnetic base and a memory card slot, one can use upto 128GB micro SD card. I bought wired camera because i needed 24/7 continuous recording, I bought 2 wired cameras one with 1080p resolution and other 2K resolution, and both are amazing in terms of video quality and online live streaming. I cant even find a difference in 1080p and 2K video on cell phone. The 2K camera comes with 32gb Micro SD card and can store up to 72 hours of Continuous video/audio/motion detection/events etc. Pros:- 1) easy to setup with eufy ioS/android app 2) Amazing smartphone app with attractive features. 3) door bell notifications are instant with thumbnails and text alerts 4) AI face recognition feature is amazing and it stores the visitor name for future notification 5) Totally secure, i find privacy much better then other product in market. Your data is safe in local storage if your using devices internal memory. No data stored over the cloud unless you subscribe for it. 6) night vision is perfect, including spot lights in camera which triggers automatically once someone enters into activity zones. 7) there are so many state of the art features in eufy products which i am still not familiar or couldnt find enough time to explore the. 8) and the most best part all of the devices are seamlessly connect with voice assistant (alexa, google home). I find it much better with alexa, amazon fire tv, and alexa touch screen frame. just say alexa show me door bell. it right away pops up the camera, or lock unlock the door. 9) built-in memory products are amazing, i am not worried about my privacy and data anymore. 10) there are a lot more pros of the devices and not on top of my head right now. 11) Yes, the customer services is superb, response spontaneously and keeps you in loop if yo arises any concern. Cons:- 1) A little bit more work required on Alexa and google integration. it could be voice assistance side which sometimes takes longer then usual to pop up camera or take longer if you instruct alexa to lock the door. I wouldnt blame eufy. i know they will work with third party and update it. 2) The built in memory of cameras could have been increased from 128Gb, in my case its not an issue. 3) Sometimes the camera notifications delay. I guess cameras are not good idea to use as door bell, since door bell response is spontaneous and im loving it. 4) Door bell heats up pretty quick, i dont know its the factory default. In winter its a plus point to keep door bell warm so it dosent loses connection. but in hot summer days it could be an issue. But i havent faced any significant issue so far. yes if one person is streaming the live video on door bell then other user streaming device can hear audio from door bell. I figured out coz my alexa was automatically showing door bell once someone press the door bell and it pops it up on alexa screen. and at the same time i opened the door bell on my phone and couldnt hear the audio from the person at the door. Eventually i had to disable alexa auto showinf door bell video so i can anser the door bell from phone and speak with the person. 5) The door lock battery drains really fast, one of my door lock battery lasts 2 months only, i am using now rechargeable batteries All above mentioned Cons does not mean the door bell is not functional. It is functional but i guess i used the devices beyond their limits or maybe something have never tested before by the manufacturer. i am sure they will come up with a solution in near future. Simple words, thanks eufy. i am loving your security products. I can proudly say my home is protected by Eufy. PS: this review is not paid or sponsored. Its my personal review which i reach to a conclusion after using eufy products for couple of months. I strongly recommend everyone, why to pay telco operators monthly fee, when you can get you own personalized, customized easy to install security system along with data privacy in reasonable price and best quality products
