This Eufy Dual-cam wired doorbell is the second wired doorbell I’ve owned, although the first was a different brand. IMHO, it’s a major upgrade.
This doorbell beats every other one out there right now, for several reasons. It can be used alone, or as part of a security system that includes cameras, spotlights, and sirens, or anything else you want to add using the ITTT system (unofficially/unsupported, but it does work).
It has 4Gb of internal storage, which is the second reason I love this doorbell. It stores everything locally, instead of in the cloud. No worries about someone hacking your stuff, and seeing when you come home or leave, so they can ransack your place without being bothered.
The list goes on.
The next reason I love this, is that it has TWO cameras. The main cam is 2k resolution, and the bottom, or “package cam”, is 1080p. Both work perfectly, with far less lag than I had with the other one. I always hated that I couldn’t see my packages, and now with the two cameras, I can.
Both cameras are AI supported. The doorbell will recognize humans, as well as packages, and gives you a snapshot of the person’s face. It will tell you when a package has arrived, and also when someone picks it up, whether that’s you or someone else.
There are zero annual fees, and I was previously paying $50/yr for the cheapest plan. So in less than 3 years, I’ll have paid for this by not having to subscribe to a cloud service — just to use the doorbell I OWN. I can download any and all videos I want, or share them right from the app.
Installation was a breeze. Use the included jumper wire to jump the two existing wire connections on the bell chime inside your house. Go outside and screw the baseplate to the house, connect the two wires from your old doorbell to the new doorbell, and snap on the doorbell to the baseplate. Done.
The app walks you through setting it up on your phone, and it only took about 3 minutes total. The app itself is easy to navigate, and has loads of options for how to view the cameras, where to store the clips, and pretty much anything you can think of. You can also create groups, search for events, and add any other Eufy device to the app, from cameras to vacuums.
There’s even a new AI-powered option called “cross-camera tracking” that allows you to follow a person automatically as they pass through your area of operation. I haven’t tried that yet, but probably will soon.
Bottom line – I spent several months investigating what I considered the perfect security system, which includes a doorbell that can see guests as well as packages, and indoor and outdoor cameras. I wanted the system to store everything locally, have zero annual fees, and work as well as, or better than, any others. Eufy wins, and nothing else even comes close.
Incidentally, I also have 12 other Eufy cams, both indoor and out, and everything works together perfectly.
I hope this helps.
