You can download videos to another device via the app should you need forensic evidence of a crime or what have you. That proved to be more than enough storage for many weeks of recordings of visitors coming to my front door (Eufy says it should be enough for 180 days of recordings). But where the wired model has 4GB of storage on the device itself, the battery-powered model reviewed here relies on a separate NAS-box-like Homebase with 16GB of solid-state memory. If you have an existing wired doorbell, you can opt to swap it out for Eufy’s product, in which case the doorbell will use your existing chime and you won’t need to worry about recharging the battery.īoth of Eufy’s doorbells store their video recordings locally, all but eliminating the need for a cloud-storage subscription.
I didn’t test it for that long, but the battery was still going strong for me after two months of high traffic on my porch.

This review is part of TechHive’s coverage of the best video doorbells, where you’ll find reviews of competing products, plus a buyer’s guide to the features you should consider when shopping.Įufy claims the doorbell’s battery should last for six months with typical activity. That said, we think the Arlo Video Doorbell’s 1536x1536 resolution and 1:1 aspect ratio does an even better job of ensuring that you see packages left on your doorstep. The doorbells themselves look remarkably similar and have nearly identical specs, including video resolution of 2560x1920 pixels, support for high dynamic range, and a 4:3 aspect ratio that provides a tall field of view. We like Eufy’s battery-powered doorbell camera even more than we do its wired model, the Eufy T8200 that we reviewed in October, 2019. If you’re not familiar with the brand, you might know its parent company, Anker.

If you object to dropping $100 to $200 for a video doorbell only to find out that you need to pay for a subscription to derive the full benefit from it, you’ll want to take a gander at the Eufy Security Wireless Video Doorbell.
