My 80 year old wife is frequently alone in the house and is apprehensive about people at the door. Our video doorbell allows her to see and interact with visitors without having to go to the door. It was fairly priced, easy to install, and works well showing us not only visitors but also packages left on our porch. A great product - I'd purchase again.
I specifically asked before i bought this doorbell about it being in the sun before i purchased it and they said it wouldn't be a problem. As soon as it hits 80 degrees outside and the sun hits it. The doorbell overheats. Keep in mind my placement is away from the sun up untill 6pm at night. When the sun goes down, until that time it's fully shaded all day. I asked the questions before i bought the doorbell because where i live it get all over 100 degrees outside during the summertime. I will add photos for proof if it allows me to with my review, that being said i have had multiple brands of video doorbells and none of them overheated.
Very happy with the doorbell, although, for some reason not compatible with the existing door bell charm in my house, we added on the chime. It works very well.
I like that it has the bottom camera to see packages and you get notified about package movement. Quality was better than my Ring camera and I feel safer knowing that it has a lower chance of being hacked. I don’t like how when someone rings the doorbell, it just shows up as a normal notification on my phone as when someone walks by. Ring shows the live feed in the notification regardless of the settings, has a bell emoji next to the alert, and pops up as “time-sensitive” automatically on iPhone. Because of that, I have to set up my Alexa to notify me when someone’s at the door because I can’t trust the app. That process alone is such a headache because their ecosystems just don’t speak to each other well. I also got the indoor camera and that has been SUCH a headache because it constantly goes offline even though it’s literally plugged in right next to the router, and the notification settings are fleshed out enough. Overall, 7.5/10.
So far, we love the doorbell. This is the second Eufy product we bought, and we could not be happier. It is so easy to set up. The light is a great feature that we did not think of, but it sure helps when we get to the door and get the key out to unlock it. I also used my old doorbell and had no issues hooking it up. This is plug-and-play.
Switched from the Ring because I didn't want to keep paying for a subscription and it's been great so far! Love having the 2 camera angles, one straight and one for packages on the ground. Sound quality and video are fantastic.
