- The Eufy Dual offers a blind-spot-free view of the porch with its two cameras, providing both a wide view and a view of the floor where packages often land.
- The doorbell offers free local storage of video on the included HomeBase 2, free smart alerts, and free AI features, without any required recurring fees.
- The time from tapping the notification to viewing a live feed is between 3 and 5 seconds, which is impressive for a battery-powered doorbell.
- The audio quality is very good, allowing for easy communication with visitors without lag or stepping over each other.
- The night vision is clear and bright, making it easy to decipher faces.
- The Eufy app offers a lot of customization options for video, allowing users to adjust recording length, re-trigger time, motion detection, and sensitivity.
- The installation is straightforward, and there is an option to wire the doorbell to existing doorbell wiring for continuous power and the activation of the existing doorbell chime.
- The Eufy Dual has a large battery that can last 3 to 6 months, and the battery life holds up well in testing.
- The camera has a blind spot while waking up, which may cause it to only capture people as they are leaving the porch, rather than approaching it.
- The 4-times digital zoom and 2K video quality are not as impressive as expected, with the video appearing dull and muddy.
- The AI features, such as facial recognition and the Package Guard and Loitering features, may not work effectively or may be more annoying than helpful.
- The Eufy app can be difficult to navigate, with some settings being hard to find, and it suffers from poor grammar and awkward English translations.
- The size of the doorbell is large, which may not be ideal for those looking for a more discreet option.
- There is no solution for the "back of the head problem," where the camera may only capture people walking away from the porch rather than approaching it.
- Always Alert to Your Needs: Experience precise peace of mind with smart human detection and real-time alerts**, ensuring you're informed of important activity in customizable zones.
- Crystal-Clear Oversight: The 2K sensor and professional-grade lens deliver superior video quality, capturing every detail with clarity, day or night.
