Eufy Security Video Doorbell Dual Camera (Battery-Powered)

Verdict

Eufy’s dual-camera video doorbell is a feature-rich choice with excellent package detection, flexible local storage, and smart alerts that make it appealing if you care about doorstep coverage and avoiding subscriptions. However, its very weak night vision and noticeably delayed notifications mean it is best for well-lit entries where real-time intervention is less critical.

  • Field of view & framing 3 reviews 4.7
    Dual front and downward cameras provide a wide view of visitors and packages, avoiding fisheye distortion while letting you adjust the package camera framing.

    Built-in HomeBase storage keeps clips local; 16 GB is enough for roughly a few months without a subscription.
  • Video resolution & detail 2 reviews 4.5

  • Build quality & durability 1 review 4.5
  • Delivery package monitoring 1 review 4.5
    The downward-facing camera accurately detects and records packages of many sizes and colors on the doorstep while mostly ignoring non-package objects.
  • Dual-camera design 1 review 4.5
    Dual front-facing and downward cameras simultaneously show visitors and packages, making doorstep activity easier to monitor than with a single ultra-wide lens.
  • Installation & Mounting 1 review 4.5
  • Subscription 1 review 4.5
    Local storage removes the need for a plan, with an optional 30-day cloud tier offered at a comparatively low monthly cost.
  • Theft & Tamper 1 review 4.5
    The mounting bracket holds the doorbell firmly enough that casual thieves will struggle to pull it off the wall by hand.
  • Price & value 2 reviews 4.3
    Upfront cost is higher than many rivals, but the included chime, local storage, and strong feature set help justify the price for buyers who can live with its night vision and latency limitations.
  • App, software & firmware 1 review 4.0
    The companion app offers flexible options for motion alerts, radar sensing, and clip handling, though tuning these settings does little to reduce inherent alert delays.
  • Face recognition 1 review 4.0
    Facial recognition correctly identifies frequent visitors within a couple of seconds of a doorbell press, making it easy to see who is at the door.
  • Reliability (general) 3 reviews 3.5
    Performance depends heavily on your home Wi-Fi, and while it generally works, motion alerts and live view can suffer from multi-second delays when the connection or bandwidth is under strain.
  • Notifications 2 reviews 3.5
    Notifications reliably arrive with full clips but are often delayed by several seconds, so you usually see visitors after they have walked away.

Cons

  • Motion detection performance 3 reviews 3.0
    The doorbell captures full clips around motion events, but responsiveness can be inconsistent, with several-second delays and detection starting only once someone is fairly close to the door.
  • lag) 1 review 2.0
    Opening the app to a live view typically lags several seconds behind real-world motion, limiting your chance to use two-way talk in the moment.
  • Low-light & Night vision 1 review 1.0
    Night vision looks clear only at close range, with people and text quickly fading into darkness beyond about 10 feet.
