Bullshit!
I am looking to upgrade my video doorbell and like the features of the Eufy model, especially it’s functionality without having to have a subscription.
However, one thing that concerns me mentioned in this video is the comment about trusting a Chinese company. What is the issue here that I should be concerned about?
Let’s all campaign to end security camera subscriptions!
Noo wayyy! You Eufy camera is just a no go bro. The most of the models has no FTP support for example. So you have to buy the home base. Also not all the models doe integrate with home base. Eufy had the past few years ago also many security and privacy issues. So I say no, no, no!
Wyze just released their Duo Cam Doorbell today that looks oddly like this, with improvements.
Eufy es una reverenda basura no tiren su dinero a la basura tengo 2 eufy tengo el mejor servicio de internet de casa el mejor internet de servicio celular y nunca eh podido tener contacto con el vicitante siempre que tocan el ring jamás me deja entrar en conversación con el
Visitante por que dura una eternidad establecer conversación cundo abre la conversación el visitante ya se fue ! Es una basura
Soooo what is the camera you went with….you can’t show us what you like and not tell us what it is!!!!????😂
So tired of paying subsriptions for EVERYTHING we have now days, music, seat heaters, video recordings, it’s out of hand…….so sad as a society we let the corporations take away all of our music and we no longer own anything, not even our own videos.
If the doorbells shocked you then they were wired incorrectly
Thank you. I find I am in the market for a battery operated camera/doorbell. I am looking at the Nest as I have Nest products in my home. I also have a Eufy product I am pleased with. I’ll be doing more research but this has helped a lot. Thanx.

Aqara doorbell review?
I get paid to tell you how great this product is so everything else is always gonna be a piece of crap.
Thanks, really helpful video, i’ve put off getting a video doorbell for a long time because there are so many traps out there when buying.
I live in Montreal, Canada. For my 1st doorbell camera I received the Aosu doorbell cam. It has an sd card. I figured out my settings. And haven’t had a problem in over 7 months. Not yet at least. $60 bucks & no monthly subscription needed. Although they do push it. Lol😅
When Eufy does not tell you everything start naming them ruffy!
Thanks for not telling us what you chose instead of.
i heard the eufy does not do 24/7 continuous recording even when paired with the hub v3. i think in the site FAQ it says u need at minimum 4 devices connected to homebase v3, in order to activate 24/7 continuous recording feature. can anyone confirm this?
Cause if that’s the case, the reolink 24/7 continuous recording works, even with just the sd card as storage only afaik.
Eufy doorbell. No charge unless you are a fool. And what fool came up with an sd card. The fee, that’s some security company loosing out on money. Its the same with firestick’s, tv company’s loosing out now. Since the firesticks came out, I notice the TV provider’s rates are going down , I wonder why 😊
12-25-24 I bought the new Eufy for our home. No subscription. The directions are terrible, but I got it to work. Any movement infront of the camera sets a Woop Woop siren sound like the police are raiding your house, on the chime. You can’t shut it off. I can turn down the volume but you can still hear it. Scared the hell out of us. I have not been able to make it work with my Samsung Galaxy S 21, to save a video. I ring the door bell and I can see the image, but if I want a movie I have to hit record. There is no adjustment for sensitivity. BUT WAIT, they offer more settings in their monthly plans. GOTCHA ! Nope, sending it back, unless someone chimes in and explains it better. I don’t see any of the settings you show, and my product is the upgraded doorbell. Best of luck, I’m still searching for a good one without monthly fees.
Oh my god ! you should buy Philips door bells !!!
Holy crap you convinced me not to get the Wyze V2…5 min cooldown??
Great video, keep it up 👍🏾 💯
I’m here also looking for a non-subscription new doorbell camera. I’m tired of paying RING subscription. I have to find something good. What do you guys recommend?
FOR ME, ARLO IS WHAT I HAVE AND I CAN PERM SAVE MY VIDEOS, PLAY AS OFTEN AS I WANT. RIGHT OTHERS ARE F USELESS BULLSHIT SCAM
Wyze has gone down hill the minute they became popular. I left their ecosystem a long time ago.
Can Eufy endure cold winters up to -20 degrees?
I never love making a negative video, but when I figured out everything that was going on, I knew I had to. Next video is another fun smart home tour, subscribe so you don’t miss it!
I just want to leave a comment here about my Eufy E340 doorbell. It SUCKS! It captures every car driving by despite setting up the Activity zones to exclude the street. It has missed virtually ALL package deliveries. It sometimes detects a package but never records the delivery driver approaching my house. Packages have only been detected maybe 20% of the time. The drivers are idiots and never ring the doorbell, they always put it in plain sight of all passersbys despite a large note telling them to put it to the side. I have NO IDEA why the doorbell cannot detect deliveries, only me and passing cars. It records EXACTLY what it shouldn’t and is missing everything that it should record. Maybe the AI is dyslexic?? Now that the winter is here the lower angle of the sun is causing even more false events. Pretty big waste of money.
ecobee? Never heard of them and glad I steered clear lol
Those agressive tactics to make you subcribe is scum. Fuk them
Lots more REAALY BAD news about Eufy since this video was made! Definitely don’t buy Eufy!
You’re doing a great favor to everyone. But another important thing you left out is the view angle, any camera that has less than a 150° viewing angle. Horizontally, and vertically is totally useless.
So it’d be nice to know if you want to do this again. which cameras have a full true 150° plus angle, horizontally AND vertically
WOW… I haven’t check it as for a fact yet…, but these conditions feel like that they aren’t even allowed in the EU. What puzzles me everytime when I see video’s like this from the states from America is the fact that it is so common that packages are just delivered at the front door. I’m not saying it never happens in Europe but it’s certainly not common. As a Dutch guy, I certainly would be very upset when the delivery service just put my packages at my front door, especially in plain sight. But no, I would not be okay with it. Unless there is a way for me to let the delivery person know what to do in case I am not home myself.
My Eufy doorbell camera is inconsistent. My daughter & 5 kids came over and I never knew it. This has happened more than once. I came home 10 minutes later and it recorded me just fine. Then when they left a half hour later, it recorded all of them leaving. This product is dangerous if security is your goal. Big fail.
WYZE used to be a cool company, but they found the golden goose is SUBSCRIPTIONS…..I HAVE 9 WYZE CAMS….and I’m trashing them because they lured me years ago and I had all the services for free, then they went to subscriptions….WE ALL NEED TO SAY NO TO SUBSCRIPTIONS…especially from WYZE…they really pissed me off.
Thank you for independent review
Ive used all these wifi devices for security and they let me down when it mattered EVERY TIME. I am gonna do a real system next time …with wires, and it will only use a battery as backup.
Ecobee = Generac = Slimy, greasy, crooked company
PAID FOR BY EUFY, ha ha ha… SO obvious, dude! And eufy cloud service is also $10 btw….
The outro on this one was *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏽
if you are already viewing the feed and the doorbell is pressed – would google hub interrupt the feed to announce "someone’s are the door" – or would it announce this in the background without interrupting the feed…? hopefully someone can answer this
OMG finally someone talked about the cooldown time. I got 2 camera from wzye and I learned later the cooldown time.. I was like WTF?
too late to return them but I will never touch Wzye again
Love the Spousal approval decreasing part of the vid!
What camera doorbell do you use?
Blink works fine with the sync module and no subscription. I like the Eufy security cameras too. They work fine with the sync module and no subscription.
I don’t buy any product that you have to buy a subscription for it to work. It’s like volunteering to be a sucker.
Kid plus subscription! New business idea!!! So funny.

so what is the best doorbell camera with no subscription and has a sd. night vision too?
My sister was always really happy with her Blink doorbell. They allow for offline recording too. The drawback is that the clips are 30 seconds and there is a 10 second delay before the next one can begin. That does not change if you get the Syncmodule or Syncmodule 2 and plug in a USB drive. Also follow the instructions the app gives you for best results. It walks you through everything. I doubt they are the best cameras but they do work really well as long as you know their limits and don’t expect anything beyond them from it. It does come with a trial but it does not ask you for a credit card when you set it up. Really I despise devices that only use the cloud since it gives the manufacturer the ability to make you pay for things that were once free which to me is an Olympic sized swimming pool of sliminess. These would be things that the box even said were free at the time when you purchased the item and now they have the audacity to make you pay for that. That is false advertising when it goes that far!
