Thanks for the review 🎉
Thanks, great review
Thanks ❤️
For someone considering either this is brilliant. Thank you for your review
Thanks for the feedback
Thank you for the review, I found it insightful. Now we're a few months on from when you filmed this, would you still go for the E340?
Yes I would go E340 still - I think the biggest advantage is being able to swap the battery in a matter of seconds rather than have to charge the whole Doorbell for hours
i am hard wired, going to upgrade from single to dual camera. e340 still the best way to go? thanks
@JackKinniburghDickie E340 can be hard wired or battery on the same model and yes I'd go for that one
Thanks, after your review, I'm going to cancel my ring and buy it. I'll let you know how I get on. I'm going to wait and see if I need a chime or a Homebase before I invest in those.
Alexas make excellent chimes of you have those. And its a good idea to see how you get on without homebase first
Also here's a top 5 tips for eufy Doorbell

Good Info on bracket mounting screw location
Yep kudos to eufy
How is the detection compared to the S330? I've seen some reviews that losing the radar detection was a negative for the E340. I'd get it for the exchangeable battery but worried the response/accuracy isnt as good as S330.
I have not noticed much difference with each doorbell detecting 3-4 meters away; however this may differ depending on your doorstep/porch set up
Hi there... thanks for the video. I currently have a Ring Doorbell (that I'm going to ditch because of their latest price hike). I have the Ring doorball wired with plug-in adapter on the other side of the wall. My question is; do you know if this PSU that I'm currently using with my Ring will work with a Eufy E340?
I'm not sure - I would recommend you ask this on our Facebook group eufy Security Camera Owners
Hi, not sure if you managed to get an answer but I am using ring adaptor and e340 doorbell and can confirm it works perfect
@@pyn888 brilliant!
Hi Paul,
Nice review of the 340 door bell compared to the 330 door bell, I'm thinking of upgrading from the single cam 2k doorbell, as i want the door step view, and I noticed you didn't say anything about the radar detection on the 330, when comparing the detection, especially as the 330 is your existing door bell, and the radar detection direction strength can be adjusted in the app, so personaly I would have thought the 330 would have better detection or is the radar detection used for something different ??
Your advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Mark
I actually use the E340 now not the S330 and haven't noticed much difference in detection; however this could be more evident depending on your own doorstep set up (direction of human traffic etc) - my E340 still detects people a good distance away as shown here
ua-cam.com/video/KHZOWMnuBpU/v-deo.htmlsi=LVMxHkf4UWMZox6D
Having said all that, both are a really good upgrade
@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 to be honest, I'm more interested in pet detect, than humans, my current 2k door bell detects pets during the day but struggles at night, also, it doesnt detect me at all coming up the shared path, until I get to the front door, but strangly it does detect my niebour,.
Another strange occurrence is when my doorbell detects a human, my 350 camera doesn't record anything. It's like they talk to each other, but I don't have a connected home base ??
@@user-dx9uh3de3m pretty much all eufy cams prefer motion going across than towards
@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 Yes, but my point is that my doorbell detects my niebour as soon as he enters the top of the path, but never detects me at all, until I get to the door , and as I said I don't have the homebase, so it can't be using face detection.
What does it sound like? Loud enough? With chime / Echo, which is better?
Is there a bit delay with Echo please?
Without a dedicated chime the doorbell uses the homebase as a chime which is just loud enough to hear from 1 - 2 rooms away. However using echo devices throughout the house is much better and they ring instantly
I have a eufy robot vacuum and really debating on getting the doorbell camera.. but I am very confused on the whole homebase thing. Do I HAVE to buy the homebase? Or can I just get the camera? If I don’t buy the homebase how does that limit me?
Homebase gives you more storage and face recognition. Doorbell and all solocams can work without a homebase
Watch a review ɓy another person who said of the 340 when speaking to a person only the persons part of the conversation is recorded for play back and not the owners voice. Has this been corrected
Hi, great review, thinking of getting this but what are the automations like for this and other Eufy cameras - can it like have auto response if motion is detected at night for example, and how is the Alexa integration? Thank you
Alexa integration is decent and can be used as chimes or to view cameras live
Integrations also work well for me.
See my top tips videos which includes both of the above

@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 I ideally want it for remote and auto alarm set up so that if motion is detected outside, by the Eufy and / or other cameras, then a alarm will sound for about 1 min if no one is at home
@SanjayChadha this an be achieved with automations where either the homebsse or another camera can be the alarm
@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 thank you for getting back to me
Thanks for comparison. You where talking about a white version with 3s pre recording. I was not able find this version. But would love this functionality for the battery version dual camera. Can you share the link or is it an announced product?
I believe only wired versions will do a pre- roll record. The E340 model can be both wired or battery
Is see the model i own for more than a year in the netherlands E330 also has the power connector at the back. But for me it is not really clear from your video if i make it wired will it become a 3s preroll recorded? Or is this only happening with the basestation3?
Im not 100% sure - I'd recommend you ask this question on our Facebook group
m.facebook.com/groups/261100604571331/?ref=share
Aren’t there custom zones you can setup to avoid getting traffic alerts?
@rob1261a yes there are those too - you can set activity zones where you want notifying of motion
Hi,
i have some question's about the S330 lights below:
1) i don't think these can be activated manually, from the app? Correct?
2) does the nightvision toggle in the app influence these light's behaviour?
For example does this influence coloured vision/recordings, or black & white?
Or other change's?
3) they only seem to shine light when it's really dark, like pitch dark?
Thank you for help/feedback!
Light comes on if dark and you press live view
There is no option to activate manually

I understand that the Wired versions usually have a 3-second pre-record, will that be available on the 340? Is it definitely available on the Wired 330?
I'm not 100% sure as mine is not wired - I'd recommend you ask this on our Facebook group m.facebook.com/groups/261100604571331/?ref=share
Pre-roll is a feature of the E340 (look closely & it says on the box). There will be a firmware to enable it this month (December 2023).
@BionicRasta I can confirm that it surely does, but 4 seconds instead of 3 seconds.
@BionicRasta is the pre roll only available if hard wired or will it work off battery also?
Is the E340 worth it for the extra battery? I've heard the S330 has better mic/speaker and motion detection due to the radar?
@@samh8560 I returned it before the Dec 2023 update to enable pre-roll to know for certain, but upon searching reports are that you do need to hardwire it to enable that feature. I haven't seen anyone review test how well it works tho. The extra battery is definitely one of its strengths over the non removable units as you can just swap it out to charge it & keep the doorbell in use. That's just aswell since the LED lights will drain it much faster if they're used often. Yes from experience the S330 doorbell has better mic pick up than what i experienced with the S340 which sounded muffled due too much background noise suppression. But whether that has since improved with updates i don't know.
hi thanks for this - how secure is the physical doorbell - my front door is on a lane with no front garden so worried about it being removed by the local scallys
It could potentially be forced off - some owners have used a metal strap screwed over the doorbell to make it more difficult. Amazon sell metal cases which the doorbell would sit inside which would give more protection against theft
thank you for the quick reply - is there a special screw like ring doorbell that holds it in place or does it just click into the wall holder thanks again @@eufysecuritycameraowners4795
Stop saying this one that one give the name 340 or 330 don't know which one your speaking about left hand right hand i don't know
Yep understood - the E340 is in my RIGHT hand (left side of screen as you look at TV) 👈
Yes, very confusing.
Thank you for your video but the 330 has also a wire inlets to charge
Correct it does - but you have to take the whole doorbell off the wall the charge the S330. The E340 has a detachable battery and therefore can be left on the wall if you have 2nd battery
Thank you for your video and your prompt reply. It's disappointing to hear that charging is not possible with the 330. I ordered it a few hours earlier before watching your video, because I really wanted the newer Homebase version. However, I didn't realize that you can't charge it via the doorbell wiring.
@@mizenkah there are 2 models of the S330 doorbell - one battery model which you have to remove the doorbell to charge and the other model is wired to current doorbell wiring. The E340 is one model which is both wired or battery. Both S330 and E340 are compatible with homebase 3
@@mizenkah eufy say about the S330 doorbell-
Can the battery doorbell work as a wired doorbell when it's hardwired?
No, the battery doorbell cannot work as a wired doorbell. If you have existing doorbell wires and prefer to hardwire the doorbell, you are welcome to purchase the wired version.
@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 For the S330 battery powered version, if you connect the existing doorbell wires to it, that will pretty much keep topping of the battery. So its best to charge the S330 to about 90 percent before installing it, the the existing wires would keep topping it off which would eliminate the need to maually charge it.
I had that doorbell for about 2 years and never manaully charged it again after the initial charge to 90 percent, after connecting the wires!
One of the disappointment of the e340 is that it only supports Wifi 2.4gig, eufy Security S350 Indoor Camera supports both and the steaming quality is amazing on the Wifi 5 band. This is clearly evident with the current ring doorbell that I have that is on the 5ghz channel. Everyone knows 2.4 is an outdated band. Everything else about the doorbell is awesome though, but the show stopper for me is the requirement of 2.4ghz.
Good point
Why remove the adjustable bottom camera. I hate when companies remove functionality.
I guess it's the old 'no part is the best part' theory - less moving parts means less to fail
which one has better battery?
Hard to say at the moment as the E340 has only been up a month and not fully discharged yet (its about 75%) - I used to get 2-3 months out of the S330. As for recharging, the E340 is easier due to the removable battery. Having a 2nd battery to replace means no down time unlike the S330
@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795
So you get about 3 months battery life on E340? Is that with the leds on top and bottom on at night ?
And how many detections on average per day?
What do you think about the sharpness in daylight and when its dark.
Looks like the older S330 model has better video quality, looks more sharp and bright.
MISLEADING! EUFY CANNOT BE TRUSTED. EUFY UK DO NOT HELP CUSTOMER. Eufy said, rechargeable battery will last for six months but it only last just over two months. EUFY LIED. WHEN SPOKE WITH EUFY UK, THE stubborn ENGINEER STATED “UP TO SIX MONTHS”
eufy's adverts say 'up to' 6 months
Battery life depends on activity/temperature - why not join out Facebook group eufy Security camera owners and ask other members for tips
I heard the battery could also last longer if motion detector is disabled
@@spektred this is true - if you use the doorbell just to record on button press, you could potentially get over 6 months (temperature dependant)
