eufy Video Doorbell E340

The best no-subscription doorbell for most homes. The second, downward-facing camera catches parcels on the step that single-lens doorbells miss entirely, and the footage stays on the device rather than on a company's servers.

8.3 / 10

Our editorial rating, not aggregated user reviews

Reviewers consistently rate the dual-camera setup as the E340's real advantage, and several conclude there is no better doorbell to put on a porch if you refuse subscriptions. It is held back by things that are easy to check and easy to overlook: it is bulky, there is no Apple HomeKit support, motion detection draws mixed reports, and eufy has not published an IP weather rating when rivals have.

Pros

  • Dual cameras: 2K at the front, 1080p pointing down at your doorstep
  • No subscription, ever. 8 GB of local storage is built in
  • Reviewers rate the night footage highly, with genuine colour night vision
  • Straightforward to install, and the app is well liked
  • Battery, or hardwired to existing 16-24 V AC doorbell wiring

Cons

  • Bulky. Reviewers describe it as chunky and more visually obvious than a Ring or Nest
  • No Apple HomeKit support
  • eufy publishes no IP weather rating, where rivals do
  • Motion detection accuracy draws mixed reports from owners
  • Some advanced features want a eufy HomeBase
