Video doorbell S330

We have been using ring doorbell 2nd gen for the last 2 years and paying approx 4 monthly subscription services and decided to get rid of the subscription. Everything is subscription these days so one less would be good. Right? First impression - The build quality is good. Packaged very well. Comes with a mounting bracket, and screws to install. Has a built-in battery so no need to be hardwired with the power source. Installation - Needs to drill only two holes and installed within minutes. Took me 5 min to set up and pair both the doorbell and Homebase 2. Yes, it comes with home base 2 and not 3. Does not make a difference to me because we don't have any more devices in our house so storage is not an issue. Took 15 min to drill and fix it on the wall. User experience - Other Amazon customers have complained about the delay. Let me clarify this. The doorbell is connected to the home base and eufy cloud services. I will come to that cloud part later. When someone rings the doorbell or it detects motion, the doorbell tries to reach the home base to initiate a session and record the event. If there is a poor wifi signal, then it took extra milliseconds which indeed is the cause of the delay. In the case of the ring doorbell, poor wifi does not affect much because you get notified from ring.com directly which naturally has faster processing than Eufy home base 2. So, if you want quick notification, make sure Eufy Bell gets a good wifi signal and Homebase is connected via ethernet in the same network. Cloud connectivity and privacy concern - It does need eufy account to pait homebase and doorbell. The eufy id is needed to notify on your phone even if you are outside your wifi network. It does not upload any videos to the cloud. When you open the eufy app to watch events, it decrypts the video and plays it on your phone directly from Homebase 2. However, if you want a notification with a thumbnail, then some portion of the video needs to be processed at eufy.com to generate a thumbnail and notify you. The session and data are encrypted so don't worry much. The guys at eufy cannot decrypt because the private keys are stored in Homebase itself. If you worry much, then change the notification to text only in the eufy app. Comparison - The ring doorbell video quality was nothing compared to eufy doorbell. I don't know if it has HD or FHD in the ring but in eufy it is 2k. The picture is crisp and clear. I am very impressed with the video quality and not going back to ring ever. Conclusion – I am very happy with eufy doorbell. Mine was the dual camera with a home base 2 combo package. Cost me 189 but compared to Ring, there is no monthly subscription and far better quality. Thinking of connecting to NVR like sinology or qnap, it will not work because of lack of OVNIF Will update review with some pictures soon Update May 4, 2023 Now door bell works with homebase 3. You need Latest Software version as homebase 3 - 1.4.0.8 Doorbell - 0.1.6.6 iOS app version - 4.6.4 Android app update yet to be released Setup normally as you do and you are good to go. I can confirm that my door bell is working with homebase 3.

The Eufy S330 is one of the strongest all‑round video doorbells for people who want premium features without subscription fees. The 2K camera delivers crisp, detailed footage, and the dual‑camera setup does a great job capturing both faces and packages — something many competitors still struggle with. The included HomeBase is a real advantage: it boosts Wi‑Fi reliability, stores footage locally, and keeps everything running without monthly cloud costs. Motion detection is accurate, notifications are quick, and the battery life holds up well even with frequent activity. It’s not the cheapest option, and the setup takes a little longer because of the HomeBase, but once it’s running, it’s rock‑solid. A great choice if you want high‑quality video, reliable alerts, and long‑term savings by avoiding subscriptions.

I’ve only just installed it but my first impressions is that’s it seems to be a well designed doorbell camera. Pros: The box & fittings are exude a quality item. Instructions were good & the doorbell was easy to fit, included in the kit is a 15° stand-off which takes the camera away from the wall. The footage quality is excellent in both sunny & dull lighting. There are plenty of options available to suit your own circumstances. There is also the option to add-on more cameras. Having the onboard memory is a big bonus ie no subscription unless you want a huge cloud based storage. Cons: The 15° standoff in my case is insufficient, 2 fittings would’ve helped eg a 15° & 25° for a few pence extra. Ideally you need a spare cat5 in your router/hub though wireless is available but the connectivity in my case wasn’t great. There is a bit of latency between what the camera sees & you being able to get alerted & see on your phone, but the audible alert to your ‘guest’ is almost instant. At night it alternates between B&W & Colour ie one night it’s B&W & the next it’s Colour despite there appearing to be no variation in lighting. Whilst there are plenty of menu options available enabling you to tweak your setup, they are quite difficult to find and I would swear that new items are being added ‘cause they didn’t seem to be in the menu previously, and whilst you can add cameras which to be fair is brilliant; you have to study Eufy’s suitability chart since some cameras won’t connect to the S330 Homebase supplied in this kit. Had I have realised this, I would’ve bought the more expensive set which includes the more practical S380 Homebase. It would be a nice gesture and if Eufy would allow a swap and pay the difference. But overall so far I think I made the best choice of the top 5 doorbell cameras available in the U.K. market.

Die eufy Doorbell hat meine Erwartungen absolut erfüllt. Die Bild- und Tonqualität ist gestochen scharf, selbst bei Nacht sind Besucher klar zu erkennen. Besonders gefällt mir, dass die Daten lokal gespeichert werden können – so muss ich mich nicht um zusätzliche Cloud-Kosten kümmern. Die App ist übersichtlich und reagiert schnell, Benachrichtigungen kommen in Echtzeit. Auch die Installation war erstaunlich unkompliziert. Seitdem fühle ich mich deutlich sicherer, weil ich jederzeit sehen kann, wer vor der Tür steht – egal ob ich zu Hause bin oder unterwegs. Insgesamt eine sehr empfehlenswerte Video-Türklingel mit starkem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

The product is very good and suits our requirement perfectly. I’m glad I got this instead of any other brand. Works perfectly well as of now! Very happy 😊
