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 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 also am really unhappy with the Eufy wired doorbell inconsistencjes. The funny thing is, the camera we have is way more consistent.
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.
Eufy battery does not last in our winters. The wired version is also unreliable.
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.
I use eufy and homebridge
Eufy is the way to go. I use Eufy for my home security (I pay for the monitoring service now, but didn't in the past), and I love it.
