I have this, it works great! I paid 139 for it back in december. Would reccomend eufy devices, fast response times and local storage is a huge plus, their app and packaging is top notch too.
I had some Eufy devices in the past and love them all. Very fast response time compare to similar products. I believe what they should now focus on integrating their existing devices with their HomeBase. That would make a killer ecosystem and push more sales. Like I want the wired version of the doorbell to integrate with HomeBase and they have been promising that since last year and still no update from them on that currently.
DO NOT recommend. I bought this last December for 130 and I regret it. Unfortunately it was past return period when I noticed how bad it is.
The battery powered doorbell does NOT last half a year as advertised, but only last a week or two depending on the usage. The advertised half year is only when you use the doorbell as a dumb doorbell with no recording. Also, the battery powered doorbell does not have 3 second prerecording so often times you will only see people walking away from your door.
The 2k resolution is really good compared to other doorbells. So if you really want this doorbell, please wire it (yes, the battery powered doorbell can be wired) so you don't have to charge it every week. Also, if you don't mind the on device storage of the wired doorbell, get that one since you have to wire it anyway, and you get the 3 second prerecording.

The items you are bashing the product for were clearly marked in product description. If you have to charge it 2 or 3 times a year is not bad at all. even 4 times. Take into consideration the settings you apply to it, motion sensitivity, resolution and distance to base. All affect battery life. I am sorry you feel you had a bad time with it, but I have had a great experience and plan to add a 2nd camera to my setup.
Excellent deal, I DO RECOMMEND buying this kit.
I have had mine for almost a year now, no problems at all, I charge it every few months. I didn't know about 3 second pre-recording until I bought this, but I don't bash the product about it , since it was something I never knew about. That stated, you don't have to worry about paying for online storage, this unit stores 16gb of history on the part that sits in home. I plan on getting a 2nd camera as well. Eufy (Anker) makes good stuff, and I've had good results with their products over the years. Get this unit, you will be pleased with the performance !
