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.
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
Eufy has a ton of products. I highly recommend versus competitors
You can get a wireless doorbell, wired, or both. They've also got solar powered cameras. You can pop a storage chip into them and put them on continuous recording, even. No subscriptions

Easy install for wired; I've done floodlights and doorbells

I have a Eufy with home station, zero problems. I charge it every 2 months give or take, but moving over to a Reolink as my cameras are all Reolink. Wouldn’t trust Ring in the slightest as they can use your recordings “to find lost dogs” 🙄
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.
