Yes - but all of the battery doorbells should see more than your doorbell 2 - the battery plus and battery pro look better than the battery doorbell 3rd gen.

It's unfair to compare, but before Reolink, I had the Ring Doorbell Plus 3 Wifi right beside a dedicated AP. I spent dozens of hours over four years bikeshedding configurations to make it work, at best, less than reliably. That taught me a hard lesson: Wifi + cloud-based is hell for reliability. Now I'm aiming for wired + local wherever possible in my setup, and if not, at least local. Devices that required internet connection to work are banned here. Not because my connection is unreliable (it's not), but because I don't want to depend on these companies' servers.

We get 3 months before we have to charge our ring doorbell

My ring battery lasts 3 months without charge. You can also buy the solar panel which you can mount above the ring if you don't have an existing doorbell wire to keep it charged and then you don't need to unscrew it to charge. You can also adjust the "fence" on your ring so it doesn't pick up road traffic if that is an issue. Mine did initially get set off by the bin truck but I adjusted it and now there is no issues.

We have ring and are in a low traffic area. The subscription part sucks. Ours is a removable charge one. It lasts about 2/3 months with us looking at the live feed about once a day depending. If we were to get them again we'd look elsewhere mainly because of the subscription part.

I really like mine, especially since I hardwired it with the transformer below. Compared to my old Ring doorbell the E340 has been amazing. Way better motion detection for humans, pets and vehicles, better video quality, no subscription, and many other features I use. I also have a HomeBase 3 which adds more motion detection options, faster connection to videos and cameras and all videos are stored in one location. I’ve had my eufy setup for awhile now and have no complaints other than the video playback glitch’s sometimes in the app when I try to fast forward or rewind. But if it’s an important video I’ll just download it to my phones photo library and it works perfectly and a great way to save it. 24V/40VA transformer https://a.co/d/hxs8tFM
