The Eufy E340 is a wired or battery doorbell camera that stands out for strong motion detection and the appeal of no subscription. It can replace a Ring doorbell, and the included battery makes installation flexible. The main tradeoff is that wired use does not provide 24,7 continuous recording, and battery life drops to weeks when person detection is enabled, with recharge times around four hours. Storage is also limited without a HomeBase, and cold weather can cause reliability problems.
Homeowners replacing a wired doorbell who want strong motion detection without a subscription, because it works on both wired and battery power and detects motion really well.
No. The E340 does motion detection when wired, but it does not offer 24/7 continuous recording in wired mode. If continuous recording is the priority, this model does not provide it.
With person detection turned off, the battery can last months; with person detection enabled, it can drop to weeks and then take hours to recharge. Buying a spare battery can reduce downtime during swaps.
The built-in storage is limited, and about 2GB is cited as only decent if you add a HomeBase. If you want more local storage, pairing it with a HomeBase is the practical route.
It can stop working in extremely cold conditions, and notifications or recordings may become inconsistent even when the transformer and specs are correct. That makes winter performance a concern in very cold climates.
Great camera, my only complaint is that it doesn't have 24/7 continuous recording when plugged in.
So it doesn't do 24/7 recording if wired. So if it was a battery one it'll record 24/7 Just checking because I'm interested in getting one. I like the ring doorbell but the subscription. Kills it

It does motion detection on both wired and battery. It's really good detection.
The problem I have had with mine is the battery running down quicker when I turn on the person detection. If I turn that off, the battery lasts months. However, if i turn it on (and I DO want it on), the battery lasts weeks and needs to be recharged which takes hours. I have contacted Eufy customer support on this problem several times but never received a response. I have heard they are coming out with a newer version of their doorbell camera, but I have heard that for a while.
I love Eufy on paper because of the lack of a subscription. I have the S330 and have had lots of problems with it. Went through 3 of them before I got one that would connect to my WiFi. It is not on my wifi but it does not connect to the wired chime inside my house or the Eufy wireless chime that I used with my last device. Overall not very satisfied with the S330. I know it is not the exact thing as this deal. Eufy was fairly good about sending replacements for my defective S330s.
Check your stores. A nearby store had it for $59.99 but was $89.99 at another.
Hooked it up yesterday to replace a ring doorbell i had and it's much better. I hard wired mine but you can use it with the included battery.

I ended up buying the official eufy branded spare battery for quick power swaps, so I don't have to wait 4 hours to recharge.

Yes. It can be hardwired or used with the included battery, so it works as either a wired or battery-powered doorbell.
The built-in storage is limited, and about 2GB is cited as only decent if you add a HomeBase. If you want more local storage, pairing it with a HomeBase is the practical route.
It can stop working in extremely cold conditions, and notifications or recordings may become inconsistent even when the transformer and specs are correct. That makes winter performance a concern in very cold climates.
