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.

I had the Ring doorbell cam 2020 version for a long time, luckily it picked up a Uhaul hitting my girlfriends car and ripping the entire front end off. They did not stop and kept on going but luckily my Ring picked it up and Iwas able to call the cops. Recently decided that I no longer wanted to pay a monthly fee and purchased a Eufy E340 doorbell cam. After 3 days I returned it. The app is not as user friendly, loads videos much slower as it has to encrypt every single video you open. I also noticed it missed a lot of motion, like the range isn't nearly as good as my Ring doorbell cam. It missed even more motion at night. I ended up buying the Ring Doorbell Pro after returning the Eufy. I maxed out all the settings on my Eufy and still it just was not as good as my Ring. Im ok with paying 120$ a year for the fluent app experience Ring offers. The slider where you can just endlessly scroll through video after video makes it extremely nice. If the Eufy sensed motion and I clicked the notification to open it, it would take forever to pull up the motion that is currently happening. My Ring takes like 2 seconds to open and I'm able to see pretty quickly what is happening. Now that I have the Pro version too, I am able to just swap batteries instead of removing and charging the entire doorbell. A knockoff replacement battery only cost 15$ on Amazon. I would have to say I'm pleased with my upgrade and probably wouldn't buy another Eufy product again after that experience.

I have something like a ring doorbell but we don't pay to have it run. It only captures pictures when the doorbell is rung and we can open it up to look outside. That's it. I don't have any other smart appliances.

I really like the look of the lite and the price is great. I just don't know how I could get ethernet to the front door. Currently got a wifi ring doorbell which has a button falling apart. Maybe I just need to get adventurous with a drill and see if I can get through my stair case...

Ring has battery powered doorbells. So, you could mount to the brick without wiring. And if you want a chime inside your house in addition to the app notifications, they have that too. Chime plugs into a wall outlet inside and chimes when doorbell rings.

Ring do battery powered ones. No wiring needed. Just charge it occasionally while you're at home. I think they even do little solar panel accessory so you really shouldn't need to charge it often
