Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 in everyday use: the only dual camera (door camera + ground camera for parcels) and 8 GB internal, subscription-free (~90 days of recordings with no cloud costs). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: no HomeKit. Apple Home users are left out.

If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.

“Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 (battery): the only dual camera and 8 GB internal, subscription-free, and the trade-off is no HomeKit. At 8.9/10 a safe choice from €124.”

Frequently asked questions about the Eufy Video Doorbell E340

What does the dual camera of the Eufy E340 offer?

The E340 has two cameras: one facing forward (visitors in 2K) and one pointing down (the ground in front of the door). That way you see both who rings and parcels left right in front of the door, with no compromise in field of view. That is unique in this price range.

Do I need a subscription for the Eufy E340?

No. The 8 GB of internal storage is enough for about 90 days of event-based recordings, completely free. Eufy optionally offers a cloud, but for most users the local storage is enough. For more capacity, add the HomeBase S380 (sold separately).

How do I swap the battery?

Via the quick-release mechanism: you do NOT have to remove the doorbell from the wall. Release the battery, take it out, charge it by USB-C (or insert a spare battery) and click it back in. Very practical compared with doorbells that have to be taken off completely.

Does it work with Apple HomeKit?

No. The Eufy E340 supports Alexa and Google Assistant, but not Apple HomeKit. If you need HomeKit, look at the Aqara G4. For Alexa/Google households the E340 is an excellent choice.

How is the night vision?

Very good thanks to the Dual-Light system: the E340 records night footage in colour (instead of only black-and-white infrared). An integrated light illuminates the entrance area on motion. Clear view up to approx. 5 m even at night.

Is the installation suitable for a rented flat?

Yes. The E340 runs entirely on battery, so no 230 V connection is needed. The wall mount is screwed or stuck on. When you move out it can be removed without leaving residue. No landlord permission is needed for the doorbell itself (keep the GDPR field of view in mind).

8.9 / 10 · Dual camera door + ground

Verdict: is the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 worth it?

A safe choice in its class: if you can live with no HomeKit, from €124 you get mainly one thing: the only dual camera. It suits best: anyone who wants to keep an eye on parcels (dual camera).
