Video Doorbell E340

I have the E340 doorbell and love it. I had a Ring doorbell previously and the eufy E340 is a huge improvement. I like that it has a higher resolution camera, better motion detection, and an additional lower camera for packages. I also have the eufy HomeBase 3 which adds a lot of extra functionality, like more storage capacity, centralized storage, video playback speed, better motion detection, and a stronger wifi connection. For a doorbell chime I use the HomeBase 3 and a separate eufy E340 plug-in chime add-on. They are on separate levels so when someone pushes the doorbell button I can hear it on both floors of our house and on my phone. The E340 Doorbell plus the HomeBase 3 has proven to be a great doorbell/security camera setup. I would never go back to Ring. In my experience Eufy has been more reliable and advanced in so many ways.

I’ve had the same experience and made a really long post awhile ago about my switch from Ring to eufy. It was a huge upgrade for me. I only had one issue with my E340 doorbell giving error codes in the beginning and after troubleshooting it with eufy, they sent me a brand new one right away. So for me not only has the security camera system been working great overall, their customer service has been excellent. Each system has their own quirks, but overall I’ve been very happy with eufy.

I switched from Ring and my eufy E340 doorbell has been a huge upgrade. I hardwired mine and added the HomeBase 3 also.

I mean this sounds mostly like a smart doorbell. Like any smart doorbell that works with Apple. Or are you looking for something smaller? I would think any smart doorbell (wired or battery) that works with the secure apple homekit video thing. I bought a Eufy E340 doorbell that can work with secure homekit and i like it so far. I didnt want to lose some of the features by tying it to homekit so i left it separate, so unfortunately i cant tell you how well it works just through apple, as i still use the Eufy app that pushes to my iPhone.

Feels like I'm the lone warrior here recommending Tapo 😅 I have the D235, and it's great. It does cover head to toe, but you need to be strategic with placing it to ensure it covers the toe area you need. I like the ring-to-call feature — instead of just a notification, I get an actual phone call. A doorbell press is important, so I think a call demands immediate attention, unlike a pop-up that you might miss. The lag is mimimal - it was the fastest among the ones i compared (Eufy e340 and Reolink). I did a similar test like you've done - i bought all three and returned the Eufy and Reolink. Reolink seems to have a lot of fans but it performed so poorly compared to the Tapo. It was significantly laggy and the app was bad. Tapo's app is so much more refined and polished. A few reasons I didn't go with Eufy are 1. No 24x7 recording (You'll need it sometimes if you don’t have a dedicated camera in the front) 2. No RTSP support and 3. Eufy has a history of lying about it's encryption. You can read about it online

Arlo is no better. Switched to Eufy, never looking back.

I just wanted something simple, wireless, and no monthly fee. Eufy checks those boxes for me. I can definitely see how Poe cameras would be preferable; I just don’t want to run the lines. 

I got the e340 doorbell and a 2-pack of the c35 cams. No regrets; it works great.

I don't see why you wouldn't just get the E340. It's the best one they make right now. Ive got two on my house and they are great. I thought I'd hate that they aren't 4K but they look great at 2K. Just get the HB3 now. No reason to buy the older version.

I just bought to e340 door bell. My understanding is that it’s wired and battery powered? Does that mean if you end up wiring it you won’t have to worry about battery running out ever?

I just installed the E340 a few days ago. Really happy with it so far.
