I'm also team Eufy. I have a 2C Pro overlooking my driveway. I also mounted a solar power panel to keep it charged, even set for optimal surveillance. It has been very reliable and responsive. I also have a battery doorbell (T8210) which is pretty good. Sometimes it fails to detect motion and it is slow to start recording. Videos of delivery people sometimes start with them walking away. I think wired would be a lot better, but my house has no doorbell wiring to use. It still performs better than the Ring I once had.
I have a Eufy battery doorbell cam and another cam over my driveway with a solar panel charger. They connect to a hub that also chimes. I have no complaints. Vastly better than Ring, in my experience.
Just to add, my wireless eufy doorbell can go 5 months on 1 charge, during summer time ofc. Not all models/setups have poor battery life results. Edit: I have the S210 (2k) model
I just did :) In my mind it was 3 euro per month with a deal for the yearly pay (30€?) But I saw the new bill starting from 15-9 and it was €100 per year. (usually I don't look at bills) Fortunately my nest doorbell broke down, got a refund and ordered a new one a week ago. So I returned the new one and canceled subscription yesterday. I went for a eufy with homebase 3, homebase about price of 1 year aware pay so it pays for itself :) Video quality is also a LOT better! In EU was a deal at AMZ, €50 off for each device. No brainer for me :)
I got a eufy one, it has a battery so it works with the power out although obviously the wifi doesn't so even the ring wouldn't actually connect and work as a doorbell. It also has a microsd slot so you can get a 256gb card and it can record for months without looping. The motion detection on their app works as well as the ring I had for a while if you do turn on notifications. Technically I assume there is some latency as it's not being cloud-monitored but I always felt the ring had a ton of latency too anyway so I don't think it's any different - at least in the scenario of getting alerts when your phone screen is off and you aren't looking directly at the app.
I really like my eufy products. My 5 year old doorbell is going strong. and my s340 is great with the new homebase. I've set automations easily.
Eufy 2K. No subscription, local storage, dead simple. Avoids all the Ring nonsense.
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.
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.
