Installation – Battery installation takes only a few minutes; a little longer if you want to wire the doorbell, too. Get instant alerts* for anyone who approaches, even if they don’t press the doorbell. Interact with visitors by talking in real-time or via pre-set responses. HomeBase speaker as a chime. 2. Alexa Echo device as a chime. 3. Compatible with mechanical chime (not digital chime) The Alerts* Which Matter: With AI technology and our sophisticated algorithm, the camera intelligently detects body shape and face pattern. Ensuring you are only alerted* when a human, and not a stray cat, is at the door.

Military-grade AES128 data encryption ensures your footage is kept private on transmission and storage*. The HomeBase acts as a brain for the whole system. It securely stores all the footage – which means, if your camera is ever stolen, all of the video is still safely stored inside. Even better, Eufy uses a proprietary communication technology that’s more power-efficient than standard Wi-Fi, allowing the wireless camera to work for months without recharging. Free Electronic Chime Included: Supports 8 fun and holiday-themed ringtones and adjustable volume level. Note: The doorbell requires Existing Doorbell Wires at 16-24 VAC, 30 VA, or above. All clips can be accessed in the Events section of the app, which you can filter by device and event type: Person, Pet or Crying. The latter two options don’t apply to this camera, though. There are simple video thumbnails available, so it’s pretty easy to find the clip you’re after. To connect the video doorbell with Homebase, press the SYNC button on the video camera for about 2 seconds until you hear a beep. The beep indicates that the camera is connected to Homebase via sound.One of the biggest irritations of battery-powered devices is the number of alerts sent to your phone. Fortunately, Eufy has got the basic balance right and provides tools to further fine-tune detection.

Setting up the system isn’t exactly as simple as pairing some new headphones, but it isn’t as difficult as you’d might expect, either, especially if you’re drilling into wood.If setting up a Homebase, though fairly effortless, is something you do not want to go through and rely on – and you want a continuous recording, then this wired model is a good option. Overall, the Eufy doorbell captures decent footage, with sharp video that at least keeps up with competition. Should you buy the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K? If you buy an additional video doorbell to your existing setup, another Homebase is not included nor required. One Homebase can power multiple Eufy Video Doorbells… Eufy has promised users that the USB slot in Homebase 2 will support USB storage in the future and is actively working on new technology that will make this possible.
