    The best review I've seen on UA-cam overall. To the point, informative and added features I would not have thought of. I wish more presenters would follow your format and style. It takes a lot of time but for the viewer makes it easy to understand. Thanks.

    I have the Blink doorbell. Bought it in April when Amazon had it on special offer. You do not need a subscription as it records to your mobile (cell) phone where you can save videos you want to keep. That lets you put them on your PC. I've got it now working with my Echo Dots and my Echo Show 5 as well as my phone. You don't need a separate chime either. If my Blink detects motion, it announces on all devices. If someone rings my doorbell, the Blink chime is also heard through all devices. Downside is it drains the batteries faster and my son just changed the batteries while I was watching this video. We've put in our own rechargeable batteries so will see how long they last before we have to swap over the batteries again.
    At the moment we've only got the doorbell but are considering putting up Blink security cameras front and back of the house at a later date. If we do that, we will also have to get the Sync2 module. I'll wait until Black Friday is on and hope they'll all be on special offer.
    The motion detector on mine went off a couple of weeks ago late at night. We have a pear tree in our front garden (I'm in the UK by the way). I had to laugh when I saw a naughty fox swinging from one of the lower branches helping himself to my pears. A "Gerr-out-of-it" through the doorbell chased him off but he's getting used to it now, just looks towards the door then carries on robbing my tree 🤣so I open and close the side door quickly - that works.
    I like my Blink doorbell because I am older and have mobility issues after an accident 2 years ago and find it invaluable. Being able to see who's at my door makes me feel a lot more secure, especially in this day and age.

    The Google Nest cool off has improved. I received a notification as a neighbour entered the garden then just over a minute later a notification for my step dad coming into the garden. It also captured him sooner as the camera was already active. The Home app may not be as good as the Nest app but its not that bad as to score only 1 point. BTW Eufy are now using pop ups to promote its products which are intrusive enough to affect the user experience.

    • @paamy
      @paamy Місяць тому +1

      @john4iraq fantastic! I ordered the wired doorbell and the rechargeable one. Then i ordered 3 other cameras (one indoor security pointing outside, one wired outdoor security and one wireless outdoor security). I've also gotten my parents the wired doorbell camera, an indoor camera and an outdoor camera. They work great, so long as they are within the wifi range. One of the outdoor cameras is pushing that limit but if it stops working, I just disconnect the camera and reconnect and it works again. I do have my devices set to go off more frequently and we get quite a bit of activity with kids running around but I only have to recharge the ones that are not wired every few months. Sometimes, when there's a lot of activity, I snooze the alerts or turn the camera off completely. The tenants are also allowed access to the doorbell without having full control. I just have that camera alert turned off from my own phone so my phone isn't alerted every time they have someone ring their doorbell. I also have access to my parents camera system for when they're not home.
      We had a lady trespass onto our property a couple months ago and I was alerted at 3am. We were able to save the footage for the police report. It was actually the doorbell light that came on and distracted her, then the security light came on, followed by our flood light that scared her away
      The only cons I think is typical with many security cameras, my doorbell camera is more sensitive when the sun is at a certain angle so I get notifications of wheels and trees and various shadows, claiming to be "people". And sometimes, it doesn't alert me when the mailman is delivering cause of glare of the sun.
      Personally, Ive recommended Eufy cameras to my friends and family. One of those persons I recommended to had a fancy set up previously. They had to pay for subscription and to increase their internet for that system. I'd recommend a Eufy that offers continuous recording. (Most wired set ups or for the doorbell, I believe it has to be the 4k one). Once the memory card fills up, it just automatically writes over from the oldest footage.

    Just wanted to say ....That was a great video on all of the battery doorbells... I have both the Google Nest and the Ring models and they are pretty close in comparison for me the only issue I have is with Google Nest sometimes loosing wifi connection then I have I have to dismount it and reset then it will be OK but then after a few months it may do it again .... The last time I had to do this was on Oct.3 and before that it was Sept. 30 .... So you get what I am saying ... So as of today,Nov.28 it is still connected and running strong .... The other feature I like it that you can turn it off to save battery because this doorbell is not on the main door and I have the ring on the front,main door and and the ring you can't as far as I know just turn off "ARM" .... Battery life is really good for me so thanks again for this video .... Have a great day ....

    I was about to pick Eufy because of the video, as dual camera and no subscription seemed like obvious winners, but upon more research I found out several issues with it.
    For one it offers no actual safety net for the doorbell being stolen. I know Nest offers to replace at least if the unit gets stolen. Some people even said it erases all the footage after being taken, but can't confirm this. If it is true though, if a thief wants, all they have to do is take the doorbell off and walk away. You lose your doorbell and the footage of the thief.
    It also seems painfully slow with response on the app and has bad delay with voice based on The Hook Up channel's video.
    I am not trying to shit on Eufy, these are all the things I found out from looking info on it. If someone has better or different experiences please let me know.

    Another downside to battery doorbells besides having to unmount them for charging for a few hours, is how the cold affects lithium batteries. I find temperatures nearing to zero degrees Celsius not only drains them quicker but affects their performance & video quality. Of the two i have used between the Eufy Dual & the Google Nest battery doorbell. I found the Nest battery to drain the quickest, where artefacts start to appear in the video footage & the aperture response struggles to adjust between contrasting light & dark areas. During very cold spells i expect these battery doorbells will struggle to work at all.

    after all these extra points, it gave 2 points of the ability to see the people in a screen when they ring the doorbell live at 11:10 as a "minor feature".
    That feature alone is what makes a smart doorbell smart. That feature is the only which allows me to run downstairs when the doorbell rings and see who's at the door before i actually open the door. In my opinion that;s more important than most other features discussed.

      Not a lot of people are wanting Amazon or Google listening and camera devices inside their homes, that is just an option. Your phone will alert you (which 99% of the time is with you) and can easily answer the notification and see the previewed snapshots...just as fast as going to a place in your house where you have setup your google hub or echo shows just to see who is at the front door... this is why it is a "minor feature"

    Hey Lifehackster I need a camere for a room with no wifi. I need it for security reason because stuff got stolen from there and I could connect the camera with a hotspot from my phone when I'm there. I only need to be able to review the footage if somethings is missing and don't necessarily need notification on my phone if the camera caught something moving. Thank you in advance for your help and keep up the great work.

    I want to buy a budget whole home security cam system (doorbell, one indoor, & one over-garage flood-light cam) and I by "budget" I'm including monthly subscription fees, in fact I'd rather have a higher initial buy-in if it saves enough on fees to make up the difference within a year. I'm aware of the Eufy local storage but am wondering if a competitor with an inexpensive sub fee is worth considering as the initial buy-in on Eufy is so high that if you add up all the buy-in plus all the sub fees (zero in their case) but if you added them up then divided by 12 months and did the same for say Wyze who has a low buy-in and low sub fees, how close would it be? If it's close, maybe I'd go for the Wyze. There's a video idea here, cuz I can't be the only one looking budget but looking at a very basic multi-cam package.

    I understand the appeal of Eufy storing clips locally and not having a monthly charge for cloud storage, but I think there are 2 huge potential flaws with that. First, if a burglar breaks into your house, couldn't they just steal your doorbell and homebase, leaving you with no way to retrieve any of the footage? They are both small, light items, which a burglar could easily throw into a backpack. You would be left with no footage to identify the burglar to the police (The whole reason to purchase these items in the first place). Second, there is a reddit post and youtube video addressing the fact that if someone steals your Eufy doorbell and holds the sync button, syncing the doorbell with another homebase, you lose all ability to access your locally stored clips on your own homebase. Apparently, several customers have been attempting to contact Eufy regarding this concern, and have yet to hear back. I think I would feel safer paying the few dollars a month for cloud storage, in order to guarantee that I could always access the clips and provide footage to the police in the event of a burglary.

      I understand your concern and it makes sense, but for general security, you should have more in place than just a video doorbell and a homebase. My homebase is part of my home alarm and it's mounted and not easy to just grab and go but my video doorbell is linked to Eufy's WiFi Bridge which is not located close to the door. I also subscribe to Eufy's home monitoring service and they are very fast to respond (almost instantly I receive a text, even if one of us forgets to disarm the alarm before leaving or entering).
