GBDisappointing Battery Life I have had the Eufy E40 outdoor camera for 17 months. In terms of performance and battery life it has been really good until a couple of weeks back when the battery started losing 50% of power within 2 days of being fully charged. These batteries are non replaceable and the warranty is 12 months, so nothing to be done other than buy a replacement. I am disappointed that this product, like so many nowadays, almost seems to have a built in obsolescence. I think I will look elsewhere for a replacement, hopefully with a longer warranty.

GBExcellent doorbell & chime system The product (doorbell + chime) is excellent --- once set up ! Unfortunately the instructions failed to say that the chime device needed to be added before the doorbell was added to the system. One of it's biggest selling points is not to have an annual subscription (as per Ring) to view recorded data. All data is stored on an SD card fitted in the chime. Ring stores its data remotely and you pay a subscription fee in order to view the video records.

GBOverall I am happy with the cameras Overall I am happy with the cameras but there are a couple of points that could be improved. On the positive side they are easy to install and set up and work perfectly with my wi-fi and chosen location even though they don't get direct sunlight for more than a few hours. The plastic mounting brackets are difficult to tighten as the smooth plastic doesn't grip well. The frame rate of the camera is set at 15 fps and I would like to have the option to manually set a higher rate and record in 4K if the connection allows. I would also like to be able to only receive notifications if the face is not recognised.

GBAftercare? What is it? The camera I bought stopped working due sudden death of the battery, after 13mth of the installation. A little bit disappointed as it isn't advertised as "disposabe". But the customer service made it clear that's not their business after the warranty period. Expecting some goodwill maybe was naive. But expecting some spare parts or other paid soulution wasn't unrealistic I guess. But it seems their customer care ends at the day of purchase :(

GBGreat alternative to Ring video doorbell The video doorbell is working well and no need for paid subscription to have access to video recordings. The device was shipped quickly. Installation was easy and the app works well. This video doorbell replaced our old Ring video doorbell after their recent egregious subscription price increase.
