And go on and smash that notification bell to get updates whenever we put out a new video. Other features include:
live view recording history activity zones setup two-way audio instant notifications multi-user access advanced AI detection
Now, these are all features that typically big-name companies charge you for through their subscription services, but Eufy provides that for free. This AI detection allows you to set it up to notify you only if it detects a person approaching your front door. When you select the Play button, it will bring up a live view of the front door. Now below that on the bottom, you can either
select the camera icon to take a video, use the scissors icon to take a picture, or hold down the microphone button to talk through the doorbell’s microphone.
There are also pre-recorded voices, and you can also select to mute or unmute the speaker on that end. If you scroll further down you will see options to set motion detection and video quality. If you ever find you are having problems seeing the images on the camera, you can enable the WDR feature streaming quality and also set the video encoding format. Streaming can be set up to work with Alexa or Google displays. You also have the option for streaming to go to the smartphone first, or the smart display, in whichever format you prefer first. The app has three quick responses that are pre-built in, but you can manually set up customized quick responses more tailored to your liking. By default, notifications include a thumbnail image. Text-only notifications send you a text right away. If you choose both image and text, you will receive the text right away, letting you know something is happening, and then it’s followed up with a thumbnail image of what is happening. You are able to change the working mode of this camera by selecting optimal battery life, optimal surveillance, or a custom setting. In the custom option, you can extend the length of the recording, from 60 seconds all the way up to 120 seconds. A nice feature we want to point out is if the device stops detecting motion, it will just stop the recording early. Detection statistics, battery percentage, and days used are also tracked and available for you to review. Located at the bottom of the home screen, you can select items such as events, security, schedules, and for exploring other Eufy products. The security settings area provides you with options for setting home, away, disarm, and geofencing. If you’re fortunate enough to have an Ethernet cable by your front door then you can always plug it in through Ethernet, but the built-in Wi-Fi is just a great addition to the Eufy Video Doorbell. The camera captures images in 2K, and the audio pickup is absolutely amazing. The night vision is great as well. Bottom line: We think this is a fantastic product and would recommend it as a good choice for anyone looking for a quality video doorbell for their home.
