The increase in Ring’s subscription fee was the push I needed to discover this gem, and oh, what a gem it is.So, to those standing at the crossroads of doorbell dilemmas, wondering which path to take, let me guide you to the eufy E340. It’s not just a step up—it’s an ascension to the throne of doorstep security. Five stars? No, this doorbell deserves a crown.

When I was looking for a doorbell camera, my main priorities were avoiding monthly subscriptions and keeping my data stored locally, not in the cloud. The Eufy E340 was a solid choice, and after about a year on my fairly busy front door, it's proven to be incredibly reliable.It's been great for keeping track of deliveries and generally provides a lot of peace of mind when I'm not at home. Battery life is quite good and I feel like I don't have to charge it often, despite how much activity it picks up. The dual cameras are brilliant for giving you a full view – not just of the person at the door, but also seeing what they're carrying or anything left on your doorstep, which is super handy. The quality of the recordings is good, and the AI face detection is a neat feature for getting alerts when familiar faces are spotted. Connecting to cameras is usually quite fast, and notifications to smart devices is pretty instant.Something Eufy has even added since I got it, is the cross-camera tracking. This feature detects people moving between different Eufy cameras and stitches it all into one continuous clip. So, if a delivery driver goes to my front door but then leaves a parcel down the side driveway, the E340 will conveniently combine those clips.It's a fantastic doorbell for home monitoring without the ongoing costs.

Bought when it was on sale. I chose this specific camera because our front door has a couple of steps up to it so other cameras wouldn’t cover lower down, where parcels tend to get left. We had had a couple of items stolen from our doorstep so this was meant as a deterrent. I also didn’t want to get locked in to a subscription service like Ring.The positives: I feel it works as a really good deterrent for people who might be trying to access your property for nefarious purposes. When the camera detects movement a light on it comes on to show it is recording, which is even more apparent at night. Recordings are clear and good quality. The app is easy to use. We’ve set up alerts from the app to our phone so we know when someone is on our drive or has rung the doorbell - very handy when you’re in the garden!The bad: Getting a second battery is pretty much essential. Battery life is reasonable but it takes a few hours to recharge and unless you have a spare you are without any sort of doorbell during this time. Getting the alert sensitivity set up was a bit of a faff to strike the balance between not getting a push notification every time someone walks past your house and not knowing when there’s someone in your front garden. Setting zones is your friend here. If, like me, you went for the doorbell alone without the base station on the understanding it would work with Alexa devices, there are some issues. There’s a noticeable delay - up to 5 seconds - between the doorbell being pressed and the audible alert going off. Sensitivity also seems to be variable - sometimes you get 20 alerts in the space of 5 minutes because someone is taking the bins out, whilst the same day someone can walk up your driveway without it triggering (this doesn’t happen very often to be fair). The function of using the app to talk to someone at your door (telling the postman where to leave a package when you’re out of the house etc) has never worked that well for me - you need to have a good internet connection on your phone and even when it works the lag is such that the person has probably left before you manage to speak to them.

Aweosme security camera! the camera and sound quality is amazing! it feels very well built, nice and sturdy, it's a great size and comparable to most other security doorbells and very easy to setup. Connects to a multitude of other devices and has a great built in storage, so no need for any subscriptions. Much better than the competitors.
