eufy Security - Video Doorbell S220

S220 doorbell wouldn’t charge anymore after 2 year….many people have same issue!

Just setup a bunch of the Eufy stuff at my son's house. Very impressed with it, and during Prime days it was very reasonbly priced.

I love my Eufy doorbell. The battery lasts me about 4-5 months on a single charge. We have fairly cold winters, but it does okay maintaining charge during colder months too. I have the older 220 model but it works great. You get notified of low battery in the app. When that happens I charge it for a few hours and it’s ready to go again

What you're wanting to do is possible. I'd go for Eufy over Ring. Same as chuckwagon, I started on Ring but the subscription cost ruined it for me. Switched to Eufy and haven't looked back, I also have other cameras from Eufy that all store the data locally (little home hub thing that goes in your house) and I can go back a few days at least.

Search about though, might get it cheaper. Usually goes on deal on Amazon a lot.

I can say that the movement *sometimes* fails with me also specially with my doorbell, but I've been happy with Eufy overall. However I wanted to upgrade my doorbell and I don't want the E340. I wanted something 2025 but .. there's nothing. You gave me hope and took it away. 😅 https://preview.redd.it/54o9h0y17vre1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f8ee7bde115b11c39a2626f8c479b7a44ea6ffb

This is the one I have and not that many complaints about it. https://preview.redd.it/afrn05tbavre1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b06deb35efe79a6986a1d655da1ab505b9e6dd9 I also wired it even if it has a battery, cause it's in a high traffic zone and I didn't want it to run out of juice.

I have a Eufy and haven’t had any issues. I’ve had it installed through a TX summer without it frying, so I take that for a win lol. No connection or WiFi issues at all. I got the hardwired (also has the battery to be only battery powered) and the homebase 3.

Eufy battery doorbell. Eufy app on tablet.

(UK) I have a Eufy battery powered doorbell cam. My door is on the floor below the main living area of my flat. The building is made of reinforced concrete with rebar and the door has metal eight point locking built into it and the bell never loses a wifi signal. I have the Homebase three and a seperate chime in my kitchen. I always hear the bell and so does the courier, so they know it works. A quick check shows you can turn off the bell sound. Couriers here like to do a teeny tiny knock and then leave. One courier waited four seconds before leaving. It is physically impossible for anyone to get to the door in these flats in four seconds. I have fitted a wire basket of the type used on the backs of electric wheelchairs to my door (this is partially shielded by a downpipe so it doesn't protude where anyone would walk) The Royal Mail deliverer puts parcels into the basket but never rings the bell. The downward facing camera watches the parcel and I have a warning notice that the spot is being recorded in the basket to deter thieves. This set up is working great. I did buy a second battery pack and have snapped off one unlocking key by pulling down on it, but with no lasting damage. I am very happy with Eufy but wish it would work with Smart Things.

The parcel alert isn't a feature I use. I have my phone on do not disturb most of the time and make people text me. I think it notified me for a parcel last monday but I didn't look at it. The parcel was there when I got home. My doorbell is watching a communal landing walkway rather than a garden path. I live in the middle of the block so it would ping me about sixty times every day as all the neighbours and their callers walk past my door. I am surprised how busy the landing is at night too. All this movement is recorded and the AI can name my favourite neighbours and spot their dogs and the odd seagull. It knows when the lower camera is used so treats parcels differently. I can check the post by looking at my phone from wherever I am. I have the basket so that parcels aren't just dumped in front of the door or taken back to the depot and the camera makes itself very obvious with two bright LEDs. I live in a sixties low rise concrete block. About 50 people live within 50 metres of me and many of those have their own Smart Home systems. It presents challenges to a smart home wi-fi system that typical low density American construction doesn't. I suspect there is very little testing for this situation.

I have a Eufy battery doorbell. Stores on an SD card that's on the chime inside the house.

Another former Eufy owner here! Mine was rechargeable and wireless, used the hardwired homebase inside for storage. I moved to a flat where I don't need it so now my parents greatly enjoy watching the postman drop off parcels, it works really well for their needs especially the limited detection area as they have a footpath outside
