eufy Security - Dual 2 Pro Video Doorbell with HomeBase

I've had my dual doorbell and Floodlight cameras for about a year without a single problem. I think they work great.

My Eufy S3 Familock keypad lock / doorbell / camera has local storage. I could buy a cloud subscription if I wanted to, but what’s on there is enough. Right now I’m looking at video clips from 2 days ago of the Halloween kids coming around. Plus it’s seriously cool just waving my hand at the lock and it unlocks the door. Yeah, they had some “security issues” IIRC there were some internal employees looking at cloud-stored videos. If you have a doorbell camera looking out at a public space - who cares? It’s not an *insecure lock*, they just had some internal employee issues. I think both of my Eufy’s are very solidly built, even though they do not integrate with HomeAssistant. If you want something that integrates with Home Assistant, Reolink is probably your best bet.

Eufy ... hands down the best ... I have tested at least six manufacturers. With Eufy, I have expanded and now have doorbells and cameras at two locations, units in stock for other uses and in case I have to replace, and the phone app is the best...hands down. I use ProC2 homebase and cameras. You will need to have internet.

OP, I have hade great success with Pro 2C homebase doorbell and cameras at home and a remote location. It is a aolid product.

I had an Amazon discount for the Ring doorbell, so I bought it a few weeks ago. Surprise, a massive disappointment for how Amazon requested a plus subscription. I have returned and take an Eufy 320 with homebase 2, much, much better

I don't know about OP but eufy has a home base central storage and processing unit that your cameras can connect to. You can install your own 2.5" drive to expand storage. Cameras connect to the base station instead of your home wifi. It stores clips (or 24/7 recordings for non-doorbell wired cameras), performs additional processing like facial recognition, vehicle detection, etc. It also services l serves as an indoor doorbell chime if you prefer. Data is stored encrypted on the home base.

I have had extremely mixed experiences and I think part of the problem is in vast differences in stability between models. It certainly seems like each device is made by a completely different manufacturer sometimes. I have had these experiences in this order: 1. A pair of 4G LTE Camera S330 cameras. They were virtually impossible to get working and even harder to get onto their sim cards. One eventually simply did not work and had to be returned for the same thing which did work. Why? I don't know. Firmware instability? Roll of the dice? Who knows. It wasn't hardware but they just refused to authenticate with the app. Now they are set up, they work alright most of the time and are still one of the only solar, standalone, sim cameras. 2. I bought a big pack for another home which (mercifully) did have wifi access. \- 1 x Homebase. \- 2 x outdoor solar cameras. Worked out of the box, unbelievably solid, reliable and good. They also have USB-C implying they were made/designed more recently than if they had micro usb. \- 1 x indoor wall plug camera. Has micro usb and is noticeably less reliable than the other ones in connecting, staying online etc. Still works almost all the time, no complains. \- 2 x Door sensors. No complains. Almost all of it works almost all the time and no issues whatsoever. All round excellent experience which repaired my initial experience and prompted me to buy some doorbells. \- 2 x C30 Doorbell. One was tricky to get worked in the connection but after a couple of resets it worked. The other worked out of the box to set up. Neither one worked fully though. No live view (P2P failure error) and lot's of down time. Doorbell to phone call worked once and never again. EXTREMELY unreliable in when it would or would not work and after 3 very long support sessions following the generic work, it's clear there is some weird software or firmware issue. No matter what was changed (reset, firmware updates, wifi tweaks, setting tweaks and I even used the beta application of theirs through testflight). These were USB-C too so modern hardware. I took them back to the store and replaced them with the same thing and exactly the same issues identically. I returned them. \- And replaced them with the wireless 2k dual camera which has a micro usb plug implying it's older and out of the box no issues and has worked ever since with zero problems. NFI what is with the differences. It's been extremely frustrating but I'm glad it works now and it's just so strange how perfect, smooth and excellent some of their offerings are with others being absolutely bonkers.

eufy doorbell does look amazing (2 cam). Working great. Only live stream loading time is sometimes slow (1-5sec). If this would be improved, eufy would be Nr. 1.

Eufy is good if you get the homebase, everything recorded and stored locally. The homebase can act as a chime for the doorbell which is a nice plus. All of amazons stuff is good, but it often comes with a subscription to get basic features which is a shame.

Eufy - the one with the home hub for remote storage - fantastic bit of kit. Gave mine to my rents when I moved house and they love it too

Im happy with Eufy, and with central base storage, it will integrate with other cams as well as use AI to track a subject across cans, and stitch a complete cross-cam video.

Mine are local, stored on homebase
