Video Doorbell E340, Dual Cameras with Delivery Guard 2K FHD

Oh, the saga of my doorstep security! It’s a tale that takes us from the clutches of subscription fees to the land of eufy enlightenment. Let me regale you with the story of how I swapped out my Ring doorbell for the majestic eufy Security Video Doorbell E340—and why it’s the best home upgrade decision I’ve ever made. Once upon a time, I was a loyal subject of the Ring kingdom. But as their subscription fees soared like a dragon over the land—42% increase, my fellow villagers!—I knew it was time to seek a new guardian for my realm. Enter the eufy E340, a beacon of hope in the dark night of expensive subscriptions. Why is the eufy E340 the crown jewel of doorbells, you ask? Let’s start with the video quality. If my old Ring was a muddy peasant, then eufy is the crystal-clear prince. Watching my front porch in Full HD is like having a front-row seat at a theatre where the daily drama of deliveries and doorstep visitors unfolds in Oscar-worthy clarity. And the night vision? A revelation! It turns night into day, revealing all the nocturnal critters and late-night pizza deliveries in stunning detail. It’s like being bestowed with the gift of sight by a benevolent wizard. But perhaps the most enchanting feature is the lack of subscription fees. Yes, my friends, the eufy E340 offers all its glory without demanding tribute. Every feature, every notification, every magical moment caught on camera is mine without additional cost. It’s like finding a treasure chest in your backyard that never empties. Installation was a breeze, a fairy tale of simplicity. I half expected woodland creatures to come and assist, so smooth and easy was the process. And the eufy app? A loyal squire at your side, making setup and daily use as easy as waving a wand. Now, let us not forget the two-way audio feature, a feature so crisp and clear that it rivals the town crier. Conversations with visitors are now less “What did you say?” and more “Ah, yes, delightful weather we’re having.” In closing, the eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 has not just replaced my Ring; it has utterly dethroned it. Everything about this doorbell is superior. The increase in Ring’s subscription fee was the push I needed to discover this gem, and oh, what a gem it is. So, to those standing at the crossroads of doorbell dilemmas, wondering which path to take, let me guide you to the eufy E340. It’s not just a step up—it’s an ascension to the throne of doorstep security. Five stars? No, this doorbell deserves a crown.

I’m the biggest sceptic when it comes to ‘security door bells’! Having a few of the security including ring, most of them have been pretty rubbish. Ring was ok but costly! However, I have to say it Eufy have ticked all the boxes. It works and does what it says on the tin. It’s a great little security camera, angled, picks up and sends alerts to my phone to which I have a conversation if necessary. Excellent picture including night time camera. So far 10/10. Best one ever! I probably would look any further and defo worth the price!

I am currently on a quest to reduce my subscriptions a lot of which are getting out of hand due to their exorbitant rising costs. It may seem a little strange then that I have laid out even more money to purchase yet another door bell camera when I already own one that on the whole is giving me goid service. The fact remains at its current price the subscription free Eufy will pay for itself in 18 months. This is my main attraction for the purchase. The features included in the purchase price have impressed me and I am now thinking I may extend my quest to include my current wireless CCTV camera package that too has a sting in the tail with its rising subscriptions. The doorbell is easy to install and comes with the necessary fixings and brackets. It is recommended that the doorbell should be positioned at 1.2m for optimum positioning. Mine is slightly higher by choice. A USB A-C charge lead for the battery and a couple of wires to connect to an existing indoor chime, should you have an existing one fitted? Like a lot of electronics these days the doorbell relies heavily on an app for its setup and usage. The battery that’s included had some charge but requires a full charge before use. If that is your sole power supply I would recommend a spare as the charge time is lengthy. Changing the battery is straightforward. A pointed, pin like token is provided and inserted into the top of the bell. This in turn releases it from its backplate. Once installed the installation process I found easy. There were no issues connecting to my Wi-Fi network and in no time I had two, clear split images. Impressive in the daytime, equally impressive at night especially if the built in light is used transforming the image into colour. The app is feature rich with some features only available with an additional base station or with a subscription. The only concern being that without these additions the saved images are on the bell push itself and would be unattainable should the unit be stolen. There is one disappointment I have relating to the E340 and that is not having an indoor chime included I am reliant on my phone if someone comes to the door. A separate chime is available at cost but if I think back to purchasing a conventional doorbell it would be unheard of purchasing a push without a chime included at one time. My younger self would laugh at the idea of such things. As there is an Alexa skill I was expecting to be able to receive a chime through my smart speakers and although this is possible it’s only possible with an additional home base.

Super Simple to install and set-up. It took about 10 minutes from opening the box to having this streaming Video to my Mobile and that includes downloading and registration on the eufy App. Great functionality and a variety of set-up customisations that make this a superb option for both a doorbell and video security deterrent. The spit camera view has the capability to set detection zones to ensure you only receive appropriate notifications. Motion detection can also be limited to human or set for all motions including cards & pets. AI extracts clear facial images for personnel identification. Highly recommended as there is NO Cloud account costs and you can also share notifications across other family / friends through the eufy App.

I wanted this to be great, to get away from the Ring annual subscription, reviews said it was, but it isn’t. The good - it’s a digital doorbell with all the functions your would expect, but also has a separate camera facing the floor to spot left parcels and will alert you about them and keep an eye on them. Plus it stores video locally on the doorbells internal memory so no subscription needed. Swappable battery, though you do need to buy another one as the swappable spare. The bad - there is a problem with this doorbell which seems to be something deep down in its hardware or software, it doesn’t always pick up motion. I’ve had random days when it’s failed to detect any motion at the door, including residents leaving and returning, along with a number of different postal deliveries it them missed throughout the day. This despite it having a setting switched on to inform of motion detection and this being set to specifically alert to humans and set to maximum sensitivity and the doorbell provided a specific activity zone to monitor, I.e. the path in front of the door all as recommended by their customer service team. As it cannot be relied on to do half of its job then it’s not very secure to my mind. They provide a little sticker for you to pop in to your window showing that you are “protected by an EUFY security device”, It should say “you are protected if I feel like working on this occasion!” I also bought a spare battery to swap out the battery, as the built in battery and having to lose my doorbell when placing it on charge, was one of my biggest hates on my old Ring 2nd gen unit. The doorbell was going through a battery in less than a week on any off high quality settings, if lowered to less than maximum performance then it lasts a bit longer, may get a week or so, but in my experience you will spend you life and your electric bill constantly charging and changing the battery. There customer service statesmen it should last about 6 months on recommended settings, it in my experience it doesn’t. The Amazon integration works when it’s feels like it, but the required Alexa EUFY security skill has a rating of just 1.5 stars of 5, with many reviewers moaning that the motion alerts supposed to come l through their Alexa devices not working. I experienced this also, having 5 echo dots around the house and with the app set to announce motion and door bell presses at each device, sometimes a motion if, detected at all by the doorbell, would activate only on the EUFY app but with all Alexa devices remaining silent on the matter, sometimes a motion would activate only a single echo device and other times (less often) motion would announce as intended on the app and all echo devices, but not often enough sadly. I think there is a deeper fault for this device, there seems to be a fault at a core or software level and I wonder why they are not bothering to fix it via a software / firmware upgrade and fix the shocking poorly rated Alexa app integration, seems like they don’t care. I speak from the experience of having thoroughly tested 2 brand new units, as the EUfY customer service team were kind enough to send me a brand new replacement when I first contacted them with concerns over the original device not functioning correctly and burning through batteries. They sent me a brand new unit, which functioned as intended a few days before the same problems affected that new replacement device too. Got to hand it to EUFY, their customer service team were willing to send me yet another (third) replacement, but I think it’s a deeper problem as 2 brand new units have had exactly the same issue, so I would avoid this unit until EUFY sort their act out, as in my opinion this unit is not fit for purpose currently and I am returning now and heading back to the safety of a new Ring device with a swappable battery and will have to suffer Ring’s awful subscription plan, as I tried to get away and switch to EUFY, but sadly EUFY have really let me down with their seemingly flawed E340 doorbell. Great promises and intent, poor execution and delivery. One final note is the “locking” device of this doorbell, it’s rubbish. The doorbell clips in to a plastic holder/mount which is nicely screwed in, all good so far, but the unlocking device to release the doorbell from this screwed in mount is a small hole at the top and EUFY provide you with a long pin to stick in this hole to unlock and remove device or replace the battery. The device can be also unlocked by pressing the end of a paper clip in the hole or a cocktail stick or anything long and thin really. There are suggestions of finding a suitable screw and screwing that in to the hole online, but it makes you wonder why the manufacturer can’t think of that or make their device more secure. If you are not using the additional Homebase device for additional storage, then the video storage is held in the internal memory directly on the doorbell, a doorbell that can be stolen very easily if you can find something to pop in the release catch hole, like the end of a paper clip. Not overly secure to my mind and another big floor.

I got sick and tired of the connection issues and battery failures in my Ring 2 doorbell, and I was attracted by the local storage when combining this with the Homebase. I've got to say I have been very pleased with the speed of responsiveness on the app when the doorbell rings or parcels are delivered. The second camera for parcels is an excellent addition and works incredibly well. The connectivity seems so much better than all the Ring doorbellss I have owned. The battery charging from my hardwired chime is also much better. Dare I say, perfect! The one issue I had was with connecting to Alexa. Which is why I say better in almost every way. I like to have my home assistants announce when the doorbell rings as my wife is hard of hearing and we have a garden office so this works with the dot we have in there. This is the only dimension where Ring scores better, the seamless connection to Alexa. Initially Alexa only detected the Eufy Homebase and not the doorbell connected to it. One call to Eufy support and they fixed it. Had to disconnect my skill and reconnect it ( which I had tried before) and this time it found both the Homebase and the Doorbell. Again the speed of notifications on all my Alexa devices is very good. Just a second or two behind when the doorbell rings. I can safely say that a week in, this doorbell has successfully solved all the issues I had with Ring. Plus I am no longer paying a subscription. I also discovered Eufy is owned by Anker which is a company I have a lot of excellent power banks, speakers and headphones from and like very much. If you are sick if constant problems with Ring like I was you will not be disappointed with this. Only problem is I need to fill the holes left in my wall by the Ring fixings. The Eufy doorbell is much sleeker with 2 fixings and sadly there is no way to match any of them to the old Ring template.

Relatively easy to find a good location and to set up. Works reasonably well in the dark. Only complaint is that the battery only lasted about 3 weeks. Fortunately I ordered a spare battery, so could just swap them over and didn’t have to wait for the thing to recharge.

It works better than the Ring doorbell but only by a little. Response is very slow but not as slow as the Ring version. Picture quality is excellent and sound is good. Integration with other devices, like echo show is faltering and a bit iffy. Almost every time it tells me that its unable to connect, to check the battery and try again. It's on a transformer! And its 12 feet from the router. The phone app is very slow to connect meaning that callers are down the street before you can talk to them. And even though it's set to detect humans only, it's set off by shrubs moving in the wind. Support is difficult to get hold of and any info on what you need to make it work with other eufy devices has been non-existent. E.g. adding a eufy chime requires also buy a 'base' which really jacks up the price. It's not clear which bases it requires. Nor whether other brand base units will integrate with it. We really need some connection diagrams to help us out.

Dwie kamery, głośnik, AI, wytrzymała bateria i super wygląd to główne zalety. Dodatkowo braku jakichkolwiek opłat miesięcznych. Wady to niedopracowana AI bo nie zawsze rozpoznaje osoby i wykwywa ruch poza wyznaczonym obszarem co jest irytujące. Aplikacja do obsługi średniej jakości z błędnymi tłumaczeniami i błędami.

Il prodotto è ottimo e bisogna fare attenzione a dove posizionare il doorbell. Dopo essere stato contattato dall'assistenza, sono riuscito a risolvere. Per questo la mia valutazione di questo venditore / azienda è top. Perché non ti lasciano allo sbaraglio anzi. Inoltre è arrivato anche un aggiornamento del firmware che rende più performante il doorbell. Lo puoi posizionare sulla porta se di legno oppure accanto alla porta e fate attenzione all'altezza di posizione, non serve metterlo proprio altezza occhiello porta ma quasi centrale, tipo appena sotto il petto per intenderci, comunque è scritto anche nelle istruzioni come misurarlo, leggetele! Prodotto straconsigliato!

Ich habe über zwei Jahre eine Kamera von Ring genutzt und war damit eher unzufrieden. Nun habe ich die eufy E340. Genau so sollte eine Kamera sein! Kein sep. Netzteil erforderlich wie bei Ring, ich nutze den vorhanden Klingeltrafo. Vorteil: es klingelt die App aber auch weiterhin der alte Türgong (für alle Mitbewohner, die keine eufy App haben). Die eufy Klingel hat keine Abo-Kosten!! Das Speichermedium ist enthalten. Die eufy Klingel hat eine 2. sep. Kamera für abgelegte Pakete und überwacht ebenfalls (befugte oder unbefugte) Paketentnahme. Auf Wunsch mit Sprachnachricht bei unbefugter Entnahme. Die Kamera nutzt „Local AI“ zur Gesichtserkennung. Man kann zutrittsberechtigte Personen via Foto hinterlegen. Man kann eigene Sprachnachrichten aufnehmen und als „Schnellantwort“ automatisch oder manuell abspielen. Die Kamera der eufy macht auch bei Gegenlicht sehr gute Aufnahmen. An dieser Klingel kann sich Ring eine Scheibe abschneiden. Natürlich ist die Kamera mit Alexa kompatibel und so lässt sich zum Beispiel auf allen Alexa Endgeräten mit Display jederzeit die Haustüre einblenden. Für mich ist eufy u.a. auch auf Grund des Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnises und den gebotenen Features absolute Referenzklasse. Klare Kaufempfehlung. Ich habe zusätzlich noch eine Edelstahblende (Zubehör, nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten) hinter der Klingel installiert, das wertet die Klingel nochmals auf.

I’ve been using this doorbell for a while and I’m very happy with it. The installation was quick and straightforward. The dual cameras provide a clear view of both visitors and packages. Video quality is excellent during the day and at night, and motion detection is accurate with very few false alerts. The app is easy to use, notifications arrive quickly, and the local storage is a big advantage since there are no monthly subscription fees. Overall, it’s a reliable and high-quality smart doorbell. Highly recommended!

Exactly as described. Great price. Fast delivery. What more do you need. Totally recommend.
