eufy Security - Video Doorbell C210 (Wired)

I've got a eufy and I really like it. The wired version allows you to pre-record up to 4 seconds, so you get clips that start before motion triggers the recording, which is nice. Sometimes doorbell cameras miss the start of something important. My parents have a reolink and the app kinda sucks. I can't remember all my reasons for disliking it, but the big one is that you can't set motion detection zones for the camera. My parents have a flag on their front porch so they have dozens of clips per day that just have the flag waving.

I've had the wired doorbell for 5 years now and I have 6 solar cameras around the outside of my house. I bought the homebase3 from them and bought a 2tb ssd so my stuff is stored locally. The doorbell gives me a ton a false positives because of my tree. It's basically only good for when people ring the doorbell. I love not paying a subscription though and the solar cameras have actually kept up. I don't keep them in my home because of security concerns from the company, but I'm being real here all our info is leaked anyways

I tried using a wired Eufy doorbell for its live view and night vision, and while it does great in those areas and stores recordings locally, it’s not really designed for 24/7 continuous recording.

I have a solar cellular s330 for a year in extreme temperatures zone range is +85 to -25. So far so good. Sometimes it takes two tries to reach the camera to view the video but the notifications all seem to come through. Cell service is the pits so I was surprised it worked at all. About 3 months installed a wired doorbell and it has been working fine. This one replaced a nest doorbell also wired that turned out to have a battery that gave out....

I have one and I would not buy again. It alerts on random things, such as stationary objects on the porch. It also seems to fail to note actual human movement at times. I find it almost useless.

I also am really unhappy with the Eufy wired doorbell inconsistencjes. The funny thing is, the camera we have is way more consistent.

I ended up choosing the Eufy Security Video Doorbell Wired. It provides live viewing and clear night vision, plus it's wired so I never worry about batteries.

Have the Eufy 24v wired version. It won't connect to 5ghz wifi, only connect to 2.4ghz. So right now it's a brick.

Eufy battery does not last in our winters. The wired version is also unreliable.

I switched from Ring to a Eufy wired Doorbell several years ago. Have been much happier with the Eufy.

We've not had any sound problems with ours. Biggest issue has been the occasional unwanted detection of objects as 'human' - generally this has to do with recent software/detection updates and is usually transient. However, it's still far better than any other video doorbell I've ever used.

Idk if it's too late, but mine broke after 2 years. Just randomly stopped alerting me. Stopped recording everything. Maybe it fried in the sun? The app is garbage, whenever I open it, I'm being advertised another eufy product. I'm trying to look at security footage, not shop. Sometimes I'd get an alert, and the playback wouldn't work at all until a month later.  It broke after the warranty expired. So I switched to Reolink. It has less features, but works for me. The market for non-cloud security doorbells sucks. I don't want to pay a monthly service to use a doorbell.
