Product Information

They are different generations of base stations with unique features. Though older doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s not as good. Again, it’s obviously a your-mileage-may-vary situation so don’t take our numbers – or Eufy’s – as the absolute, definitive battery life, but this should be able to help you set some expectations.

A Crystal-Clear 2K Image: High Definition 2560 x 1920 resolution, combined with our advanced HDR and Distortion Correction, ensures video is recorded in 2x the quality. To connect the video doorbell with Homebase, press the SYNC button on the video camera for about 2 seconds until you hear a beep. The beep indicates that the camera is connected to Homebase via sound. HomeBase speaker as a chime. 2. Alexa Echo device as a chime. 3. Compatible with mechanical chime (not digital chime) The other difference is that it records in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which means you can see people’s faces when they’re close to the door and can be crucial when you need to spot little details for a police report should you ever need to give one. Most Eufy cameras do not connect directly to Wi-Fi but use the Homebase device as router, with your Eufy video doorbell.Absolutely. If you live in a multi-story home and need to cover a larger area, you will need to install more than one Homebase. Having two Homebase units has two main advantages:

Installation – Battery installation takes only a few minutes; a little longer if you want to wire the doorbell, too. Battery life is rated at around six months, and based on a few weeks’ use, that figure seems about right. In fact, the doorbell definitely lasted longer than the Ring models I’ve tested. Eufy Video Doorbell 2K (Battery-powered) video quality – Excellent video, but a bit soft at night Unfortunately, that means battery life is really dependent on where you keep the camera, what it’s pointing at and how close it is to the street. If you’re living in the city with people constantly passing by, it seems unlikely that it will hold six month’s worth of charge. But out in the country, with only a few triggering events per day, that number feels accurate.As with all smart doorbells, you can use the Eufy app to talk to anyone who rings the bell when you’re out and about. I found this worked well enough but there was quite a long delay between me speaking and it coming through at the other end. Fancy a high-resolution, battery-powered doorbell minus the monthly costs for cloud video? The Eufy Video Doorbell 2K (Battery-powered) could well be the model for you. Hooking up to the provided HomeBase hub wirelessly, this doorbell can save video to the provided 16GB storage card. Image quality – With its 2K resolution, this doorbell produces sharp and detailed video, particularly in the day; video is a little soft at night.
