Choose the eufy Video Smart Lock S330 if you want one wireless lock, camera, doorbell, and fingerprint system. Skip it if you need HomeKit/Matter, a subtle doorbell button, or tolerance for imperfect door alignment.
Best for
Best for households that want one wireless device to handle locking, video doorbell duties, remote access, guest access, and fingerprint entry. It especially fits users who value local storage and do not want separate lock and doorbell hardware.
Not for
Not for users who need Apple HomeKit, Matter, IFTTT, subtle hardware, or long-range camera coverage. It is also a poor fit for doors with marginal deadbolt alignment unless the installer is willing to fine-tune the strike area.
Verdict
The eufy Video Smart Lock S330 stands out as an ambitious front-door all-in-one: reviewers repeatedly liked the fingerprint unlock, local-storage-friendly camera setup, remote control, and broad access options. Its best moments are convenience-driven, especially for households, contractors, deliveries, or anyone who wants a lock and video doorbell in one wireless unit. The tradeoff is that the product asks for more patience and space than a simpler smart lock. Some reviewers found installation and calibration easy, while others hit door-fit or jam-message frustrations, and camera/motion performance ranged from excellent to delayed or limited at distance. The strongest evidence points to a feature-rich, generally reliable lock with a few rough edges around setup precision, ecosystem limits, and event detection.
Compared in Reviews

Lockly Vision Elite
Compared: compactness and similar biometric/video/app controlThe reviewer describes Lockly Vision Elite as more compact while sharing many of the same core functions.
Compared: combined doorbell-camera-lock conceptThe review frames Lockly Vision Elite as another example of the same doorbell-camera-lock category.
EZVIZ Video Doorbell

Lockly Vision Doorbell Camera Smart Lock
Worse: motion detectionThe review says eufy includes motion detection that the comparably priced Lockly model lacks.
Camera and doorbell performance: 4.3, based on 8 reviews
Camera and doorbell performance was generally strong, especially video clarity, but motion timing, distance, and visitor button clarity were recurring caveats.
One reviewer found jam reporting annoying because a calibration issue made the app keep showing the lock as jammed.

FAQ
Is the eufy Video Smart Lock S330 easy to install?
Most reviewers found installation easy or manageable, but several noted that door alignment, strike-plate depth, or physical size can make setup tricky.
How good is the fingerprint reader?
Most evidence is very positive, with reviewers calling it fast, accurate, and instant. One reviewer had repeated failed reads, so performance may depend on the user or setup.
Does the camera perform well?
Reviewers generally liked the 2K video clarity and door-area visibility. The main caveats were delayed motion recording, weaker long-distance detail, and some missed motion or loitering events.
How is the battery life?
Battery life was repeatedly praised as long-lasting, with some reviewers reporting months between charges. One reviewer noted that a full recharge can take several hours.
Can it be controlled remotely?
Yes. Reviewers valued being able to check or unlock the door from the app, including while away from home, and several liked using it for guest or contractor access.
Does it work with Apple HomeKit or Matter?
Review evidence notes Alexa and Google support, but not Apple HomeKit, IFTTT, or Matter. Reviewers treated this as a limitation for broader smart-home interoperability.
Is it worth the price?
Most reviewers considered the price reasonable because it combines a smart lock, doorbell, 2K camera, fingerprint reader, app access, chime, and local-storage options in one device.
