Video Doorbell Wireless S220 (S210) 2K (Battery-Powered) with Chime, No Monthly Fee, On-Device Al for Human Detection, 32GB Local Storage, Simple Self-Installation, 2-Way Audio

Great product with no subscription and good images via the app.

After receiving an email from Ring Doorbell to tell me my basic single subscription was going up to a whopping £50 a year (from £34) I found myself in the market place for a replacement that wasnt going to need an expensive subscription or even better...a subscription free model. So after a bit of research I purchased this Eufy doorbell instead. No subscription needed whatsoever to use it, as it writes the video content to a local SD card built into the base unit. A 16gb card is included which is enough for around 3 months recordings, but you can buy a bigger card cheaply if you require more. You can add a cheap subscription to it, to store your videos in the cloud if you prefer, but it isnt a requirement unlike the ring doorbell. Pros: No subscription required - main reason for getting this. Local storage Picture quality is great, and probably a little better than the ring gen2 box it replaced. Night vision is better than the ring too, as it has further reach. Easy enough to setup but make sure you register the base station/chime FIRST, otherwise the app gets stuck in a loop. (It took me a while to figure this out after trying to register the doorbell in the app first) and going round in circles!! Nice quality and as a premium device, you would expect this. Better longer lasting battery than Ring. Cons: mobile phone App is not a slick as the ring app.. but its not far off tbh. It does all the same things as ring does but not quite as intuative. A bit slower compared to ring to show notifications on your phone. This is a bit annoying and hopefully this will get better with newer apps and firmware etc. It takes a couple more seconds than ring to notify you of movement etc. The ring volume on the base station isnt as loud as the ring chime.. but at least it came free in the box compared to me shelling out another £30 to get the ring chime as an add on when i got that! Early days yet, but as a Ring alternative you cannot really go wrong and with it being subsciption free, it will have paid for itself within a couple of years.

We got two of these. One for us and one for mum and dad. I’d seen very good reviews and was attracted by the fact there’s no monthly fees attached compared to Ring. Got the 2k door bell and chime combo. Appearance wise the doorbell looks great and good quality. Everything was easy to set up. I registered the chime first, as recommended by other buyers and then the door bell. All good. Then we found that on both sets of devices that everything worked perfectly except for the live view. When you tried to go into it, it just said camera couldn’t connect and it was a p2p error. I did some research and found that lots of people had this problem. I reported it through the app and was given some things to try. All done but didn’t solve the problem. I then noticed the door bell needed a software update but every time I tried to do it, it didn’t work. I then found that some people had managed to force an update by keeping the door bell active. So as a last resort before contacting Eufy direct, I started the update whilst walking around with door bell and bingo…the software update downloaded within a couple of minutes. Went round to my mums and did exactly the same thing and it worked first time. Now both doorbells are working perfectly and doing a great job. So apart from that little glitch I’m still glad I bought them. I found that some people had rung Eufy direct who had then helped with the software update. Other peoples just worked first time and in other cases Eufy sent a replacement. Yes it’s a bit annoying and they are not cheap but we got there in the end. Easy to fit outside with good guidance. The app isn’t entirely intuitive but once you learn where everything is then it’s a breeze. Then you just sit back and become entirely addicted to looking at the recordings of the post man, the gardener, the cat that walks by every morning at 2am…etc. I deducted 1 star for the bit off faff with the software update otherwise I’d have given it 5.

What a nightmare product. I owned this for 2 days and I am returning it because no one needs to put up with the nonsense it put me through. Initial set up was not fun. Instructions provided do not give you step-by-step what needs to happen and in what order. The quick start guide is not quick, it is a booklet about half an inch thick and in multiple languages, but the english part was around 20 pages long. And the section on how to install the doorbell and chime is literally a single that says “download app and follow instructions in app”. What? So I tried to install the doorbell first I mean it makes the most logical sense, right? As I attempted it, the Eufy app suddenly alerted me “please have a Homehub or a door chime confirmed first”. I had to install the chime first??! Then I installed the chime, that was the easy part. Next I attempted the doorbell again and it finally got past the original alert and started to connect, but after 5 minutes it threw this at me: “failed to connect. Make sure the Homebase is on”. Pardon??! I was worried that I needed to buy a Homebase for around £150 to get this blasted doorbell to work! Why have a message that said “make sure Homebase was on”? The item description never mentioned this so I assumed it was a standalone. Many attempts later and after much Googling, I decided to reset and start again, so I setup the chime first and then got to the doorbell. At this point the chime did something it didn’t do before, and that was let out this high frequency squeal - the same that scares away rodents and cats - and the doorbell actually responded with a crackle. Later it connected the doorbell successfully. Hurrah I shouted in elation! No need for a Homebase! I installed the doorbell to my front door and checked that the video feed was working, and that the chime chimed when the button was pressed, and I even got it linked to my Amazon Echo Dot to whimper at me when someone was at the door. After that was done, I went to bed. The following day more headaches ensued. I checked the video feed again and it was taking a rather long time to connect, and before long an alert came up that said “P2P connection failed”. I beg your pardon??! P2P? No matter what I did, I could not get the stupid thing to show me video of the outside. It turns out you connect the chime to your wifi, and the chime in turn connects to the doorbell to deliver your video feed to you. The chime acts as a mini Homebase with limited AI functionality and has the memory card to store the videos, hence why I received that P2P error message. The stupid thing had to connect to the doorbell before it would stream it to us, like a dodgy celebrity endorsed TV commercial telling us to free the equity in our homes. After much more Googling, I moved the chime to different areas of the home, moved it closer to the front door, updated my router to only use 20MHz bandwidth for my 2.4GHz wifi, nothing worked! But one thing did work though… and that was for me to take the blasted doorbell into my home. While it was outside, for reasons only the Eufy engineers can fathom, it would not allow any type of P2P connectivity between the chime and doorbell. But once taken into the home where it is warm and cosy, suddenly the doorbell sprung to life and allowed video streaming to take place. You’re probably thinking “ah, it must be interference due to the number of walls and the door”, but I assure you that the wifi signal is strong even outside. In the Eufy app you can check the chimes’ WiFi strength connected to the router and the doorbell, and both for me were at maximum levels. I even had the video running active in the app, took the doorbell outside and installed it then closed the door and the video was still running fine for 5 minutes. But the moment I stopped the video stream and tried to start up a new stream… “P2P connectivity error” From that I knew it was not a signal issue but a Eufy issue. I had all latest updates but I could not get the blasted thing to work, so I submitted an Amazon return. Say what you want about Google’s Nest doorbell and Ring’s doorbell, at least they are reliable. Avoid this at all costs! Eufy makes some good security cameras but they are terrible at combining it with a doorbell.

Based on my experience, you'll need to have a little bit of patience with this. Out of the box, in my living room, it worked straight away. I was charging the doorbell camera and getting notifications every time I walked past it, so I screwed the unit to the wall and sure enough it went off when the neighbours came out of their front door and walked past. The problems started when they came home. Walking up our path is very hit and miss. Anyway, to cut a long story short so as not to bore anyone, I got in touch with the makers and it turns out that (in common with a lot of these security devices it seems) anyone walking directly towards the camera might not be detected. Unfortunately our path is pretty much perfectly aligned so that it may or may not record. Don't screw it to the wall until you've found the best position, and try it with and without the angle mount. The bell works, the motion detector works if I change it to pick up all motion and not just humans, but of course then it goes off every time a car goes by and it still might not pick up people walking up our path. You can probably set an activity zone to cover your own circumstances, and I'm just unlucky. It's a really good picture, and it's a really good doorbell (which records when it's pressed). I don't think many people will be as unlucky as me, and I have another Eufy camera (a solar powered one) which is absolutely brilliant and picks up everything as it should. So it's definitely our front path that's at fault. In other news, the chime records the video onto its memory card so no subscription is involved. We have an Eero 6 Pro router which broadcasts on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands, and it picked up the two units immediately even though they only operate on 2.4GHz. It's a good bell, it's our front garden that's to blame.

First impressions? The product looks great, stylish and feels decent quality. Install was super easy, they provide a template that you can stick to your wall\frame to predrill the holes. Simple setup steps, install app, sign up, scan ringer, wait for setup to complete do same for camera then go mount it. The app offers you to share the camera with other if required which is nice if you have someone you are concerned about. Not able to comment on the battery yet, it came with about 64% on so we are going to run it down to see how long it lasts. For the Price I would highly recommend, no subscription fees and only thing you may need to replace is the SD card if it fails. The camera, for a battery operated device which I'm normally not a fan of is great, almost instant

Update: AnkerDirect saw my review below, they contacted me and have provided a replacement device, already the system is functioning at 100% of it’s capabilities, I have voice and picture and the new device fully charged within 60 mins. Well done AnkerDirect, excellent customer service, I’ve updates to 5 stars! Thank you I’ve had doorbell for 1 year. Set up was a struggle so was using it with some functions missing. But picture is good so I persevered. After 6 months got a notification to recharge, it struggled with the charger supplied in the box.. fiddled about, eventually got it to 80% after 2 days of charging, so put it back on the wall. Now down to 15% need to recharge and after 36hrs of saying it’s charging I’m on 15%. I’ve changed USB and charging unit, cleaned heads, restarted, all things they recommend on their troubleshooting. Nothing will recharge it. All in all I wouldn’t buy again.. going for a RING this time.

I've been using the Eufy S220 Video Doorbell for a few weeks now, and there's a lot to like. Setup was straightforward, the hardware feels solid, and not needing a subscription is a big plus in a market that's increasingly paywalled. The variety of ringtones is a nice touch, and the battery life has held up well so far. However, reliability is where things start to fall short. The doorbell often struggles to connect through the app, frequently timing out or taking so long to load that by the time I can view or answer, the visitor is already gone. Even more concerning, there have been times when someone clearly walked through the activity zone but the device failed to record or notify me. That’s a serious flaw for something meant to enhance security. Overall, this doorbell has potential and offers good value in terms of features and long-term cost - but its inconsistent performance undermines its core purpose. If Eufy can fix the connectivity and detection issues with firmware updates, this could be a great product. Until then, it feels like a bit of a gamble.

Het staat niet in de productbeschrijving maar deze kan ook op een bestaande 8 volt tot max 24 volt aangesloten worden ipv. de ingebouwde accu te gebruiken. Installatie is voor computer beginners best lastig maar Youtube biedt voldoende filmpjes aan van hoe het moet. Beeld is top en je kan heel veel instellen zoals een schema zodat de bel niet s'nachts afgaat bijvoorbeeld. De verpakking is ook heel goed te noemen. Er zitten allerlei extra's in zoals stekkers voor vaste stroomaansluiting, grote sticker van Eufy Securety en een USB kabel. Wel jammer dat het nog een oude versie stekker is en dus geen USB-C.

Boa relação qualidade preço

Super sonnette mais il y a un problème avec la sonnerie du téléphone. Quand le Bluetooth est activé, les alertes sonnettes sont désactivés, y a plus d'alerte si on sonne. De plus ca ne sonne qu'une fois, y a pas de répétitions. Quand sa sonne, il faut déverrouiller le téléphone, aller sur l'application, pour répondre... on perd du temps. Quand tous les mouvements sont activés au max, la batterie dure 2 semaines (selon la fréquentation). Sinon pour le reste, image, détection, enregistrement, application, tout est parfait.

Toppenbra produkt! Funkar toppen. Roligaste är när nån ringer på dörrklockan och jag kan se och prata med personen trots att jag inte är hemma (via appen i mobilen)
