Ring Doorbell

Got the Eufy S340 Solo Cam which seems OK, doesn't support RTFS so can't stream to Home Assistant easily, but probably not ideal with being Solar ppoweed only anyway.

Blink doorbell. w**k.
 
Thread bump is this any good, wired with chime?

I’ve got 4k cams around property & in door way just want a different angle & be able to rell postie to lob over gate.

Having the fluorescent lights replaced in garage with LED batons & sparks will fit & commission at same time.

Get Eufy one instead even the battery ones last months if you just set zone area to you drive no subscription either.
 
I can't recommend eufy anymore.

My battery is really not lasting very long now :(

Anyone had experiences with solar panel chargers for them? They look pretty hit and miss from a quick Google.
 
Had my Eufy doorbell since Feb 2023, the battery life is still good, no real decline over the past 3 years, it does roughly 3-4 months between charges.

The new ones come with a removable battery now, which is a good idea.

*Might actually be more. My Eufy Solar cam has charged 35% off solar over the last two weeks 😂

My eufy doorbell battery health on 88% now after 4 years isn't great. Quite disappointed for the price!

Asked them for a replacement and they just said they can do 25% off a new one. f**k that.
 
Didn't you have a doorbell before that you could use the power off?

Ours after 4 years and two months. Always been plugged in.
 
Epic you mean? Or just mediocre but cheap because no subscription?

I can't even remember the last time I actually checked the footage 😂😂
 
I suppose when you consider the cost now and work out not paying a monthly subscription it's been a saving and a half!

Same, I only ever use it to talk to the postman now. Not to tell him where to put the parcels or anything, I just like his hair and like to tell him daily when he walks by. Soft and fluffy
 
Open the app, click settings for the doorbell. Then under power manager there's a bit where it gives the battery health.
 
Maybe it only displays that message when the battery is beginning to s**t itself?
 
I’ve had mine for over 3 years now, still working perfectly and lasts about 3 months between charges, very happy with my 3 Eufy cameras.

Last charged on 8th January, about due for another charge…

I've put an advert out for a butler. Im going back to a knocker and chucking alexa away too.

His job responsibilities are to announce visitors and take in packages, to manually load CD's/Records when I ask him to play music, constantly look out the windows at night to see if we are bing robbed or over run by a mob and to order things from amazon using a desktop computer when I ask.

I think this is going to be a massive life stress reduction.

Thx, some were mentioning Eufy were better?

Got Ring at home but open to choice, thought at least I can view who’s calling.

When it works properly it's great but the doorbell is terrible for missing folk and taking ages to load at times. The othrt cameras we have are fine mind you
 
I've got a eufy s220, it has the option for battery or to be hardwired, generally it's good however i live on a through road which gets alot of foot traffic, the door faces the path so it gets set off quite a bit, enough that i've turned notifications off as it gets a bit much.
The battery lasts about a month (not got round to hardwiring it) which i think is pretty good given how many times (42 yesterday) its activated.
It loads up okay, if you want to log in and have a look outside, but i've found by the time you get a notification that someone is ringing the doorbell, you click on it and it loads, they've gone (other reason i turned off notifications), but it does take a video of them so you can see who it was etc.
Even going off 42 times a day, it misses things, i can leave the house in the morning and it wont record me walking to car for instance, but then the next day it will, so i wouldnt rely on it for a security camera, but it's fine for recording a video when someone pressed the bell.
I had a c210 before (it fell off one day and broke) the s220 is much better than that, the c210 was terribly slow trying to do anything.
Never had a ring doorbell so cant compare to that.

Same I had an Eufy and it missed loads and was v slow.
 
I only have the C31 and just using the battery. One thing I have noticed over the Ring door bell is that it is very easy to pull it off its mount. At least the ring one needed the tool for the screw to get at the mounting screws
