Bought E340 about a month ago - so for so good coming from Nest Hello 1st gen. Subscription is definitely not needed, base is not required. Video quality is better, AI/object detection is better on Nest but requires subscription. E340 is battery powered, but if you connect it to wire, it will charge itself, so you don't have to.
Honestly, I would pass on any of the Eufy security devices, security aside. Here's why:
I have a wired doorbell, two outdoor EufyCam 2 cameras, and a few indoor eufy cams. I've had the majority for 2+ years.
When I bought them, they all worked perfectly. However, they get worse with each update.
- They constantly miss movement, only detecting squirrels or cats, but missing people. Sometimes it thinks a leaf is a person now. Or the wheel of a neighbors car.
- The settings for how long to take a video upon detecting motion change nothing.
- Sensitivity adjustments change nothing
- The app requires you to constantly dismiss ads for their other products before viewing your camera feed. This is an issue if someone is at the door and you want to respond to them but the app loads an ad instead, which interrupts going straight to the doorbell view. Dismissing the ad requires you to then click the doorbell cam in the app, which then needs to load. All this takes over 30 seconds, at which point the person may be gone. Also, for whatever reason there is a bug that if you click a notification it stops recording.... so you'll miss the person at the door AND you won't get a recording of it.
- Promised HomeKit support (it was on the box when I purchased), yet still no HomeKit support for my doorbell
For the money, If you are technically inclined, I'd build your own system, or go with another brand. Eufy used to be an easy choice because the data was all local, but accessing it now requires passing through their servers. Even if it is secure now, they've proven that they can't be trusted and their software gets worse over time while promoting their other new products in a way that reduced functionality.

My nest subscription renews in December. Seems like perfect timing but I gotta see if they have a 3rd party wedge for this thing.
I don't know your layout, but this comes with a pretty good wedge already and a pretty wide view angle as well. I actually installed my wedge to point it away from my door to pick up more of my front yard and less wall.

Is this good deal or wait for BF?
Looking security system for new home? Any suggestions for outdoor and indoor cameras?
Not sure should I go for subscription or non subscription?
