Does Video Doorbell S330 support Apple HomeKit?

No, it supports Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant, but it doesn’t currently support HomeKit.

Can I add my other eufy devices to Video Doorbell S330's HomeBase directly?

Yes, you can add eufyCams and other eufy Video Doorbells that require HomeBase support to Video Doorbell S330's HomeBase.

What is the difference between Dual Motion Detection and Single Motion Detection?

Other doorbells only have one sensor, radar or passive infrared (PIR) for object detection. Video Doorbell S330 includes both sensors to take advantage of heat and wound wave sensing, reducing false alarms by 95%.

How does Facial Recognition work?

When the AI sees a face, it uses algorithms to recognize the person as someone you have told it to remember. If recognized, you'll get a notification of who's at your door before you check the video.

What's in the box

  • Video Doorbell Dual (Battery), HomeBase 2, Screw pack, Mounting bracket, Micro-USB charging cable, Screw hole positioning card, 15° mounting wedge, Detaching pin, Quick start guide and Brand card, 24/7 warning sticker.

    UPDATE: Turns out Eufy lied about all of the local storage, not uploading to the cloud, etc. Thank goodness I only used this product for a few days before returning. Because they lied to everyone about the local storage and so forth (just google it. It’s everywhere), I’m changing from two stars to one, and I will never buy another Eufy product ever again…And I may not buy anything from their parent company, Anker, ever again (And I have a lot of Anker products). Disgusting.First of all, I own or have owned a lot of Anker/Eufy products. I've been generally happy with their products and they've become a brand I generally trust when making purchases to avoid more expensive name-brand items that are either inferior, or are not better enough to command their high prices.The summary of this review is I'm very disappointed in this doorbell and expected it to perform far better than it did. I really wanted to love it, and it tries really hard to be a superior product, but it fails in almost every way. It seems more like a Beta Test version than a final version released to the public.Detailed review:I bought this doorbell to replace a Ring doorbell that I've owned for a number of years and have never been happy with. I won't get into the numerous problems that doorbell has in this review (it's not a gen 1), but I've been looking for a suitable replacement for a long time.I've been wanting a Eufy doorbell for quite awhile and I picked this up on a Prime Day deal thinking I finally found my replacement. Sadly, this one isn't it. I'm still well within my return window, and it's going back in the morning. I used it for 14 days before the battery died. A far cry from the advertised six months (see photos for a full, fair representation, including how many motion events it detected (a lot). See below for more details).This is a newer doorbell product by Eufy, and it shows. There are a number of problems with it (more to follow). The types of problems it has surprised me because this is not Eufy's first video doorbell at all. I expected more out of this product, considering they've had other doorbells for quite some time. I figured that by now, they've worked out some kinks and that this one would be the one I've been waiting for. I was wrong.Initially, I thought if this didn't work out, I'd go with one of their older models. However, some of the problems with this doorbell are so bad that I am now rethinking that decision. Maybe I'll have to just 3D print and build my own homemade doorbell, even if I have to design it myself. I'm very tech-savvy and that which I dislike about this product is likely not user error.The good:There is a lot to be said about a video doorbell that will store all your videos locally, giving you full control and saving expensive cloud storage fees. This is the doorbell's best selling point, so it's no wonder that Eufy puts a lot of focus on it. This is especially a good selling point for me, because there is no reason their name brand competitor could not have had this feature from the very beginning. And that competitor hiked storage prices by 33% a couple months ago. Ridiculous, whether we have hyper-inflation or not. It's this feature that makes me want to keep the doorbell more than anything. Unfortunately, the "bad" of this doorbell does not overcome this truly amazing feature.The video on this is absolutely better than my old doorbell, at least during the day. The night vision is so-so. I do get a very crisp daytime picture with this. I like it a lot.It picks up audio very well, and I like that I can listen to activity without activating any lights on the doorbell.It has a night light that lights up at night when it detects motion. This is a nice touch, especially since the so-called Alexa integration leaves A TON to be desired (more on that below). So, when I approach the front door at night, it lights up with a light that is just enough. It's not too bright and not too dim. While I'd prefer that it's Alexa integration would work well enough to turn on my porch light on motion detection (it doesn't), there's still an odd, satisfying peacefulness about it.The package detection, which is still in Beta as of the time I wrote this, works decently well. It picked up and notified me on about 75% of the packages I had delivered in the 14 days I used it. It even noticed a couple enveloped packages, which it supposedly won't. Considering this is a beta feature, I'm satisfied enough with it. It's not perfect, but it's not bad, either.I like the downward-facing camera so I can see packages that have been delivered in its view, even if the AI didn't tell me about it.The packaging and the box it came in is really nice and well-laid out. Like another reviewer wrote, setup took longer than it should have, but it wasn't horrible. I had to try several times to get it to work.When it works right, which isn't often, it works decently well. I really do like the crisp picture. It's superior to that of my Ring. If not for some of its glaring problems, I'd keep it, even if the Ring performs better overall and I had to make some sacrifices.The Bad:I can't believe they released a product with this many problems.First-off is the battery. Holy cow, the battery. Battery life by itself completely kills all the good this product has. I charged to 100% before using. I got a measly 14 days from it before it died. I didn't expect to get the advertised six months, or anything, but 14 days is pathetic.So, if you look at my screenshots, you can see how quickly it blew through the battery. Yes, I have over 2,000 motion events detected. This is due to high winds blowing the tree in my yard that is directly in front of the house. At first blush, you might think that that explains the abysmal battery life.But I'd counter that argument with two things: 1) the AI filtered all but 146 events, which were recorded. and 2) My Ring doorbell advertises only 30 days on a charge, and I get 30-45 days, easy. This is including the doorbell picking up AND RECORDING all the wind-tree movement. And every single recording is at least twice the length of this product's.Now, I could maybe, possibly sort of get past this horrendous battery life, except that the battery is not removable. You can't just buy a second battery that you can keep charged and then swap out every 14 days. You have to physically remove the doorbell from the wall and then bring it inside for a charge, leaving you at least six hours without a camera or doorbell (I live in an older home that never had a doorbell wired to it).I consider this to be a huge oversight by the manufacturer. A removable battery would be a feature that would be huge, because I could keep a second one on-hand and swap them out for recharges. I don't think it'd be big enough to overcome the 14-day battery life, but it'd go a long way to mitigate it.Long story short on the battery: I'd return this product on the battery alone. As you can see from my screenshots, I left the setting on the default balanced surveillance. I won't own a doorbell on which I have to turn off motion detection to get battery longevity, so that's a nonstarter there. I also want to note that I kept all the other battery-sucking features at defaults or less. For example, this is only getting 15 seconds of footage at a time. I'm stunned at how bad this battery is. Battery life is supposed to be a huge thing here. It's not.Motion detection: This is another area where I'm extremely dissatisfied. There were multiple instances where a person would walk RIGHT IN FRONT of the doorbell, and I wouldn't get a notification or a chime or anything. This could be me, or a delivery person, or a member of my household, or a salesman, or whatever. Very, very annoying.There are other motion detection problems, as well. But the worst is someone could walk right past it, less than a foot away, and nothing. No amount of adjusting the sensitivity resolved this issue. I fiddled with it incrementally to see if I could get it to work right. I got improvements, but not consistent functionally-correct results.If I were to hazard a guess, I'm betting the problem might be the tree obscuring what is a person and what isn't, so the AI incorrectly filters the person. I would turn that feature off, but then we go back to the already abysmal battery life. I'm guessing I'd go from 14 days to 14 hours on a windy day if I did that. As I mentioned above, I don't have that problem with my existing doorbell, and it records EVERYTHING and at longer, 30-second intervals. This doorbell is only grabbing 15 seconds at most, when it works. I'd bump it up, but battery life is bad enough without that.More on motion: Even when it does work (and even if you are using the "wedge" to angle the camera and motion sensors), you don't get your notifications until the person is right in front of the doorbell. And when you click on your notification, you're looking at a recording of what just happened, not a live view of what's happening right now. For that, you need extra clicks.But a person can walk right up the driveway, up the stairs to the porch, and be right in front of the doorbell, and it'll be several moments at best before you FINALLY get a chime or notification. This has long been a complaint with my existing doorbell. This is a little better in that if it works, I'll probably get the notification before the person leaves. My Ring often won't even tell me that someone is there and knocking on the door until they're gone.There's such a huge lag when trying to talk to someone through the doorbell that it's useless. The box is literally on the other side of the wall, hard-wired into my router - following all the instructions about keeping it out in the open, and it doesn't function correctly. I've gotten to where I use my doorbell just like I use Caller ID to screen my calls. 90% of the time, I just don't answer, so this is not a dealbreaker for me, per se, however there are times when I want to see the person at my door and I might be in the basement, or something, and would like to tell them I'll be right there. But it's useless, even on the same network. I didn't bother trying to talk to anyone from my phone through the app remotely.Like other reviewers noted, another thing that is particularly frustrating are the ads in the app. As far as I'm concerned, NO PRODUCT is a five-star product if they're constantly trying to upsell me. I'm sick as @#$@ of constant ads everywhere I go. I don't care how much I love it, it isn't a 5-star product if they're giving me ads every time I want to just use what I already bought.Along those lines, even non-ad-related notifications are placed over the video clips. You want to click a video clip, and now you've accidentally clicked on a tip, or something. Really bad GUI choice.Alexa integration leaves much to be desired. I won't spend a lot of time on it, but I set up a routine to have it turn on my porch light at night when it detects motion. It doesn't work. The camera detects the motion, but the routine doesn't work right. You can read the many, many bad reviews on the Alexa integration in the Alexa app. Long story short, it doesn't work well at all. And I believe this is probably true for all the Eufy security products. They need to do a complete overhaul there. Don't expect it to work right.The IOS app/Apple Watch integration. See my photo above. It could and should just send me a screenshot of who or what it detected, or who rang my doorbell (I get that with my existing doorbell). They missed the boat on that one. You get nothing.The camera view: While it has a very crisp picture, including for people and objects farther away, it can only see 160 degrees. This isn't bad, per se, but it's not as good as my other doorbell. As a result, I can't see my entire front yard through this like I can with my other one. I don't mind trading off a better picture for reduced field of view, but I don't like it, either. It seems like that shouldn't be a necessary trade.It's a minor thing, but the chime and doorbell sound selection isn't great. I didn't love any of the sounds to select from. It probably wouldn't bother me as much as it does if I wasn't so dissatisfied with the rest. So, I'm mentioning it. They're all boring sounding. They're not interesting at all.If you've made it this far into my review, kudos. I wanted to be thorough, but it ended up being longer than expected, and I still feel like I left some things out.The long and short of it is this: This product feels more like a Beta product in every way - not just the package detection. There's a lot to *want* to love about it, and one thing to really love about it (the local storage), but it's just not ready for Prime Time. It needs a lot of improvement before I'd ever consider buying and keeping it. There are just too many issues. It makes a lot of promises and there is a whole lot of hope there, but it just doesn't seem like a final product ready for production.I won't go so far as to say it's a total disaster, but it's definitely not a good product. I gave it two stars instead of one for the superior daytime video quality and for the local storage capability. I really, really like the local storage. I would consider giving it one more star just because of that if the battery wasn't so horrifyingly bad.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The Dual Cameras are a Game-Changer
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023
    Video doorbells seem to be what's hip these days so I figured I'd give this Eufy Dual thing a whirl. Mind you, it wasn't an arbitrary decision. I spent countless days and hours researching every brand and model in existence before I decided that, at least on paper, this is the one I felt best suited my needs. Since not all video doorbells are created equal, nor are people's needs, most reviews are going to be mixed regardless of whether it's Eufy, Ring, Blink, Google, or Arlo. They will all have their pros and cons, so it'll be up to you to decide which features are most important.

    Now before I get into the meat of this review, I first want to point out the features that initially attracted me to the Eufy Dual. It should come as no surprise that it's the dual camera that sold me on it. At the time of this review, no other brand has a battery operated video doorbell with dual cameras. I have no doubt that'll likely change since it's truly an outstanding feature.

    You see, every other video doorbell only has one camera, and depending on the brand it'll only have one aspect ratio: either 16:9 (horizontal) or 1:1 (vertical). A 16:9 ratio (like Ring doorbells) will give you a wider view of your surroundings, but it typically crops out your porch area which is dumb if you want to monitor any package deliveries. A 1:1 ratio (like Arlo doorbells) will give you a taller image that includes your door area, but may crop out any shenanigans going on in the periphery.

    The Eufy dual cam doorbell gives you the best of both worlds by giving you a primary 2K camera at 16:9 resolution, and a second camera (1080p) that let's you observe the immediate surrounding area by your door. This is particularly useful for monitoring package deliveries or cats that are patiently waiting to be let inside. In any event, the Eufy dual camera doorbell is one of the, if not THE best doorbells for keeping an eye on your package deliveries. Especially if you live in a place where deliveries are left at both your door and sometimes off to the side (depending on the delivery person's mood). Another doorbell may not be able to look at all possible delivery locations around your porch the way that this one can.

    The other attractive feature about this doorbell, or any of Eufy's doorbells, is the local storage option. Don't let the cheaper price of other doorbells fool you. Most brands require a monthly subscription fee in order to store your video clips into their cloud service. At $3 a month you'll be paying an extra $36 a year. Those services also tend to automatically delete your videos after a period of time. This doorbell comes with a Eufy HomeBase that has 15GB of local storage for FREE. No subscription required. That's enough to store roughly a year's worth of recorded events and they won't automatically disappear.

    Okay, now for the actual review of this thing. I already knew that this wasn't going to be a perfect doorbell, but I familiarized myself with its drawbacks before I purchased it. None of its shortcomings came as a surprise. The first thing to understand is that many of its features are still in beta testing, so the app is super buggy. Not to a point where it's unusable, but it's far from flawless. For example, the facial recognition feature just doesn't work. I mean, you can set it up in the app just fine but it has NEVER recognized me or my husband. The package detection feature is also not great. Yes, it detects packages but it also thinks EVERYTHING is a package including cats and trash bags. I had to turn that feature off because it would record false package events too often.

    Personally, however, I wouldn't let that be a deterrent because with time and patience Eufy will eventually smooth out the kinks (that's the assumption anyway). The point is, the features under development will be worth the fix wait and the minor hassle. I can survive without these bonus features to be honest. The most important thing I need it to do is detect humans on my porch and record the event, but also function as a doorbell. It does these things just fine, and in fact, it does it very well. Package detection is not essential since I can literally open up the Live View any time to monitor packages myself. Plus I can just go review the recorded events to see who was at my door. Live View also gives you the option to record clips and take screenshots in real time which is excellent. It'll download them straight to your phone's storage. So the most important features DO work. Still, I wish they would have figured out a fix for the extra features before releasing this doorbell into the wild since they're marketing them as a selling point.

    Setting it up was easy, but as I said, it can be a bit buggy. The HomeBase was a cinch to set up, but the doorbell itself took a few tries before it would actually connect to my WiFi. Mounting the bracket to my door frame was also easy, especially with the included template. I have it screwed into wood so it's nice and secure. I also appreciate that they included an optional angled bracket. The slight angle allows you to see a little more of your doorstep, and since I mounted it in a somewhat recessed area it has a better field of view. The doorbell itself locks into the bracket and can only be removed with the included pin-key. It looks like a guitar pick with a pin and it's small so don't lose it!

    One thing I really don't like is that the battery is built in, so when it needs recharging you have to charge the whole doorbell which means taking it down which means no doorbell for about 6 hours. But it's a sacrifice I was willing to make considering the features I really like about it. You can monitor its battery life from the app, so you can begin planning ahead of time for recharging. I typically wait until the evening and then by the time I go to bed I put it back outside. Speaking of battery life, it's not really possible to give a fair assessment on that. It's going to depend on the settings you chose and the frequency of events. Using the "Live View" feature often will also drain your battery faster. Your battery mileage will vary but with frequent use should last at least two weeks. Minimal use around a month, or even two months of you have it set to doorbell only without video or motion detection. I have mine set to "optimal surveillance" and on average I capture around 5 events a day. The battery lasts about a month for me.

    Lastly, yes, sometimes it does really dumb things like record us every time we leave the house or it thinks my cat is a package delivery. Technology can be like that sometimes and its AI isn't perfect. It can't recognize the back of my head or understand that I'm exiting instead of entering. After all, the camera is pointed by my door. But for me, I would much rather put up with the annoyance of this thing recording me or my husband every time we go out the door than for it to not detect events at all. To me it's a positive sign that it's at least doing its job. It has never failed to detect humans on my porch whether it's me or a delivery person.

    In sum, get the Eufy dual cam doorbell if it's going to be your only surveillance camera since it has the widest coverage. And if you want a wide visual area but also the ability to monitor packages at your door. You must also be willing to put up with a somewhat glitchy app that hopefully in time will improve. For me the benefits of this doorbell outweigh its flaws, so I still highly recommend it. But if you care more about perfected apps and UI, replaceable batteries, pre-roll footage, and zero two-way talk delays, and don't care about subscription fees, then you might be happier with another brand.

    On sale, this is one of the best cameras available. The day and night video is very good. Package and Human detection are very decent. I like that I don't have to pay a monthly subscription for this type of service. Many settings to customize the experience are available. The wireless connection with my ASUS 11000AX is very strong about 20m away with a brick wall and multiple walls between the doorbell and the router. The notifications are received within seconds after an event. The installation was very easy to do. Within 1/2hr it was fully operational. Now, we will see if our Canadian winter will get the best of it!
