Verdict

Eufy's Dual Camera Video Doorbell delivers excellent daytime clarity, strong package detection, and flexible app controls with local storage and no required subscription. Very weak night vision and sluggish, laggy notifications mean it is best for people who mainly want to review doorstep activity after the fact rather than intervene in real time.

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.
