Choose the eufy Video Smart Lock E330 if you want one polished lock, camera, and doorbell with excellent fingerprint access. Skip it if short battery life, screen/storm doors, or a narrow camera view would frustrate you.
Best for
Best for shoppers with a compatible, uncovered door who want one device for fingerprint entry, app control, doorbell alerts, and 2K monitoring. It also suits users already comfortable with Eufy, Alexa, Google, or HomeBase-style setups.
Not for
Not for screen-door or storm-door setups, people who need Apple HomeKit, easy rekeying, or a wide package-focused doorbell view. It is also a poor fit for anyone unwilling to manage rechargeable battery tradeoffs.
Verdict
The eufy Video Smart Lock E330 earns strong praise as a polished all-in-one smart lock, doorbell, and security camera. Reviewers repeatedly liked the fast fingerprint reader, simple setup, responsive app, quick notifications, and sharp 2K video. The tradeoff is that combining video surveillance with a rechargeable smart lock makes placement and battery management more important than with a simpler deadbolt. Some reviewers saw excellent battery performance, while others found the battery drained fast enough to undermine the product’s best features. Camera view is also setup-dependent, especially with screen doors, storm doors, deep jambs, or awkward door angles.
Compared in Reviews
Products reviewers directly compared with this model, grouped into quick takeaways.
s330
Better: location features, advanced notifications, storage, and chimeThe reviewer said the S330 builds on the E330 with additional location-based and notification features.
Worse: savings when using HomeBase 3The reviewer considered the E330 the better savings-focused choice than Eufy’s S330 when using HomeBase 3.
Smart Lock S230
Better: battery life and choosing a simpler non-video lockThe reviewer preferred Eufy’s Smart Lock S230 after finding the E330’s battery life too limiting.
Tapo C120
Better: camera resolution and price contextThe reviewer argued the E330 felt pricey when cheaper cameras like the Tapo C120 had moved to 2.5K.
Installation and setup were consistently praised as quick, easy, straightforward, foolproof, or among the easiest smart-lock setups reviewers had tried.
The keypad was viewed positively for reliability, passcode flexibility, and backlighting, although one reviewer treated keypad access as less preferred than fingerprint.
Existing hardware reuse scored well in the one clear opinionated case, where the lock worked with an existing strike plate and the reviewer called that nice.
Camera and doorbell performance: 4.4, based on 12 reviews
Camera and doorbell performance was generally strong, with sharp 2K video, good night vision, fast loading, and useful two-way features, though field of view and door placement limited some setups.
Value was mostly positive thanks to all-in-one convenience and savings versus higher-tier models, though one reviewer stressed that the lock is not cheap.
Battery feedback was the most divided area: some reviewers liked the removable rechargeable pack, while others reported short runtime or slow charging.
Door compatibility (deadbolt fit): 2.5, based on 3 reviews
Door compatibility was a major caveat because screen doors, storm doors, deep jambs, and awkward door angles could compromise the camera or overall fit.
Door-sense was weakly supported because a reviewer specifically wanted a sensor to know whether the door was open or closed.

FAQ
Is the eufy Video Smart Lock E330 easy to install?
Yes. Reviewers repeatedly described installation as quick, straightforward, foolproof, or among the easiest smart-lock setups they had tried.
How good is the fingerprint reader?
It was one of the strongest points in the reviews. Reviewers called it fast, accurate, responsive, convenient, and often preferred it over keypad entry.
Does the battery last a long time?
Battery life was mixed. Some reviewers reported months of use or liked the removable rechargeable pack, while others saw enough drain that they disabled video features or expected frequent charging.
Can it replace a separate video doorbell?
For the right door, yes. Reviewers liked the 2K video, night vision, quick alerts, and two-way features, but several warned that narrow viewing angles, screen doors, storm doors, or deep jambs can limit the camera.
Does it support smart-home platforms?
Reviewers cited Alexa, Google, Apple Watch, Eufy camera integration, and HomeBase options. The main smart-home drawback was the lack of Apple HomeKit support.
Can guests or family members get their own access?
Yes. Reviewers liked passcodes, scheduled or one-time access, fingerprints, and user management, including one case where giving guests a passcode was called a godsend.
