I was waiting for this deal but ultimately went with amcrest ad410. 2k stream vs only events, instant doorbell notifications, and rtsp.

Would check out ad410 if in market.

You should post that as a deal. It's on sale right now on Amazon.

I have the Eufy doorbell wired version. I'm not too happy with it since it sometimes fail to detect people wearing hats and masks.

It's really only good for getting notified of someone pressing the doorbell and even then it misses that too sometimes. I personally have a V3 with cam plus on CVR at the front door and it does a better job than the doorbell does (I'm pretty certain it's ever missed a person since it has alot of foot traffic). I do plan on getting an Eufy Outdoor Cam for $99 so I don't have to pay for cam plus renew every year. Honestly if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't even have gotten the eufy doorbell (I might just sell it on ebay) since this is the second doorbell that has failed (another brand did too). They aren't very reliable most of the time and they get outclassed by security cameras like the V3 anyway for a much cheaper price too.

Yes it is the same, $20 cheaper at $149 before taxes.

Don't use this if you live on a busy road. It will drain the battery within the week and it will miss notifying you of movement, even if you set an activity zone. The other features work great, but I need to find another option that works better when facing a busy street.

How many times is this Eufy crap going to get upvoted? Why would you ever spend $150 when you get get a better doorbell from Ring or Arlo for far less?

Serious shilling going on.

Ring has subscription (yikes) and Arlo is wireless (batteries yikes) but since this is wireless it's an okay alternative.

Personally I don't recommend anyone get any doorbell camera unless they just want to get notified on their phone and even then no one usually sticks around to wait for you to answer on your phone anyway. A security camera like V3 or a Eufy one will usually do a better job than a doorbell camera will anyway.

The Arlo is hardwired. I own it.

This poster's history is mostly Eufy products. Same with a couple of the other posters.

$3 a month is hardly a pricey amount to pay for a doorbell subscription. But $150? There are plenty of other options that function just as well.

What I liked was no subscription fees, and offline storage. You also have the option to power it on battery or wired. One caveat with the battery version is not having continuous recording that allows you to get additional 3 seconds of video prior to the motion trigger event.

Here's a doorbell review video that helped me make my decision: https://youtu.be/tos-MFaGsW8

There are many people in the world who dont want to pay a monthly subscription for a door bell, so you can be sticking with what works for you and others what works for them.

Besides a few bad reviews this seems pretty solid, and as someone else mentioned its on sale currently. The night vision seems to be sub par but outside of that having RTSP is a big win.

I also installed a wired version and returning it back to Amazon tomorrow, so many missed notifications, wireless chime randomly chimes in the middle of the night, and quality is good but HDR is really not doing much...still cant see people under the porch because background is brighter than front
