UPDATE: Ring may be the leader, but Eufy is the better value
UPDATE: My Eufy Doorbell camera has been installed for 95 days now (see picture) and my battery life just hit the 50% mark. I’ll take it down and charge once it gets into the 30% range. I still have it on the 2nd highest battery setting, Optimal Surveillance, which record longer clips = with no battery drain issues. I’ve had the Eufy Flood Light cameras installed for almost a year now and still haven’t had any issues with camera / audio quality or with any recording for either of my Eufy devices. Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with Eufy!!I have bought and used both Ring and Eufy Outdoor Flood Light camera systems. I favor Eufy over Ring, primarily for no monthly fees, camera quality, and notifications.> Both cameras have excellent video quality. Eufy has like a two or three-second delay. I can’t recall if Ring also has a delay with recording.> Eufy is the only doorbell battery camera that I’ve own and, for me, the battery is excellent. I set it up 35 days ago and just checked the battery life and it’s still going strong! As of today it shows 83% life remaining after 96 recorded events / notifications. Further, I have it on the 2nd highest battery setting, Optimal Surveillance, which record longer clips. Very impressed!> As for my Floodlight cameras, I will say with Ring I noticed that my backyard flood camera had a slightly wider view.> With Eufy, I love having to not worry about any extra fees and having extra storage with Homebase. (I will add that it took me a while to understand Homebase’s purpose. I knew it was to hold extra storage. But, that’s not a concern if you delete random notifications /clips regularly. But, the bonus that I appreciate is that Homebase is also the doorbell chime for the Eufy Doorbell, so you don’t need to buy a separate Chime – I was happy to return the one I bought. I also like that there are several chime tones to choose from. I have a 4,000 sq foot home and can hear the chime at its loudest setting easily throughout the house.)> As for the notifications, I honestly got more false notifications on my phone with Ring than Eufy. Eufy seems to be more consistent although there are some false notifications. Ring annoyed me to the point where I decided to switch to Eufy. From my experience, the notifications on these outdoor camera systems aren’t 100% accurate at times. For example, with both systems, I get non-stop alerts when the exhaust from my home’s HVAC system blows out into the cold air. Still, I take it as par for the course.> If you get Eufy (or perhaps any device) be sure to check the App Store for updates regularly. At one point, the Eufy notifications kept piling up even when I deleted recordings. I did an App update as my last resort and it cleared all those notifications as well as install whatever updates it needed.I’m willing to bet that none of these systems are perfect. It’s technology and when combined with human efforts is flawed to some degree. Though, Eufy beats out Ring, at least with the Flood Light camera. I plan to buy more Eufy devices in the near future.

Ease of setup and use without fees
This one was recommended by Wirecutter and for a good price during the last Prime thing. I initially ordered the wrong one as the variety is confusing but figured it out and cancelled before shipping. Upon arrival the base was easy to set up. The doorbell more challenging but due to the existing wiring and not the bell. I choose to use the battery which made things easy. The field of view is amazing; I don’t understand why anyone would need the mounting wedge. Battery life is very good so far and the only load comes from it capturing me every time I go through the garage door 20′ away.NOTE I was having trouble making the base communicate with the bell until it dawned on me to bring the bell inside next to the base. Once established setup was done.It features both video and motion with infrared. The base provides storage, so no cloud concerns which seem to be growing every day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great doorbell, but battery life could be better
The eufy Security Video Doorbell S220 works great overall — clear video and reliable notifications. The only downside is the battery life; it only lasts about a month with frequent use, so I ended up hardwiring it. It offers a couple of connection options, which is nice. I still prefer Ring for performance, but for the price and the fact that there are no monthly fees, this doorbell is an amazing value.

Good, with some misleading advertising
UPDATE (6/28/20):tl;dr This was a good purchase for the value it can offer.I wanted to update my review after having somewhat of a deep dive into issues with the battery doorbell (please see original review at the bottom).Right off the bat, I think it is important to acknowledge just how good Eufy customer service is: they sent me a replacement doorbell since I suspected that the one I got was malfunctioning even though the original purchase was 2+ months ago. Just for that, I am adding another star to the review.Now to the main issue with the battery doorbell: the battery. Eufy claims this battery will last 6 months and here I was charging my doorbell roughly every 4 weeks. But after they sent me a replacement, I am seeing marked improvement in the battery life (I have not changed any settings on the camera ie motion detection is on, sensitivity is medium, activity zone is roughly the same; I even used the same mount as the old doorbell). Having had the doorbell for about 2 weeks now where I would be at 50% battery with the old bell, I am sitting at 80% with the replacement. So extrapolating this, I see a battery life of about 2.5 months, which is much better than the 1 month but still far short of the advertised 6 months.A quick way to understand what could be causing this discrepancy in their marketed battery life versus reality is to look at the “power manager” menu on the doorbell which provides stats for number of detections and number of events filtered out without recording. My doorbell was filtering out 100s of events daily and being in lockdown I have been home all day and I know for a fact that 100 objects (people + cars) don’t traverse my street (unless I lived in Time Square). So it seems like there are many triggers (even though you can choose to detect on humans as opposed to all motions) that the camera is unable to filter more efficiently. So if you place your doorbell on a wall that faces the street you’re likely going to have the same situation in terms of battery life. But if you instead mount it on a perpendicular wall (ie one that faces the doorframe), you’re going to get a much better battery life (much closer to the advertised 6 months). HOWEVER be aware that such a position may not give you a good view of your threshold and if a scrupulous individual were to walk by and pick up a package delivered at your doorstep, your camera may likely not detect that.I think the AI filtering false motions can be optimized by software updates so I am optimistic about seeing marginal improvements to battery life and for that I am adding another star to my original review. That being said, I still think having the ability to switch out batteries is more advantageous than having to remove the entire doorbell to charge which is NOT an elegant solution.Original review —(** 2 Stars)The bad:I have had this camera (on battery mode) for about 7 weeks now and I see a couple MAJOR problems (both battery related) that I want to share with prospective buyers:1) Battery life: I have already charged it twice (once upon receiving it and once after it drained after about 4 weeks of use). Battery capacity suggests you charge this twice a year. The caveat being, you only get a certain number of motion detections per day among other restrictions. Not sure what the point of purchasing this camera would be if you don’t use the bells and whistles provided. My camera has been on medium sensitivity and I have enabled zone detection which covers only about 20% of the field of view so it’s not even detecting the entire area. On average I have had about 15-18 detections per day so I expected the battery to last 3+ months. It lasted about 31 days. So unless I remove motion detection (which I cant because I don’t want packages stolen from my doorstep!) I would likely be charging this once a month.2) Battery replacement: if I am cursed to charge this every month, I think it’s reasonable to expect that a battery replacement be provided such that a fresh battery can be switched in without having the take down the camera every time.The not-so-good:1) Smart integration with google home: there is a solid 15 second gap between my voice command and execution.2) Geofencing: Never works (even after I allowed constant access to location data). This functionality is in beta mode so i am sure it’s being worked on.3) Ability to store data on homebase instead of the doorbell: it’s on the “not so good” list because I would like the ability to add more storage (currently restricted to 16GB).Finally, the good:1) Night Vision: solid2) Video quality: excellent3) User interface on app: very good, easy to use, and good response timeBottom line: if you live in a city and expect a reasonable amount of foot traffic, and don’t want to have wiring installed, I SINCERELY urge you to consider purchasing battery doorbells that offer replaceable batteries (there’s a few out there: Ring and Kangaroo off the top of my head, amongst others).If I could return this product, I would.
