eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 (T8214)
Two cameras and 8GB on board — the cleanest no-subscription answer to package theft.
Overall score 7.7/10
Pros
- + The second, downward camera is the only genuinely different answer to the parcel problem here — everyone else stretches one lens into a tall frame
- + 8GB on the doorbell itself means no hub, no card and no monthly fee, unlike Blink and Arlo whose local storage needs a base station
- + Works battery or wired, and the battery pops out on USB-C instead of coming off the wall
- + Face recognition and package detection run on the device — the same features Ring charges $19.99/mo for
Cons
- − eufy's own two sources disagree on the wiring requirement (8-24V vs 16-24V) and on the sensor resolution, which is careless for a $150 device
- − 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, and Linkd Home measured 13.6 seconds average notification latency with thumbnails
- − No field-of-view figure is published anywhere, so you cannot compare its coverage on paper
- − No Apple HomeKit and no Matter, so Apple households are locked out
- − eufy's history of cloud-privacy incidents is a real consideration for a camera pointed at your front door
eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 (T8214) review: what the specs say
Two cameras and 8GB on board — the cleanest no-subscription answer to package theft. At $149.99, eufy's 2023 model sits in the middle of the range — the video Doorbells we compare run from $39.99 to $249.99. It scores 7.7/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Subscription Freedom at 9.3/10 — the trap dimension: what the doorbell still does after the free trial ends and you pay nothing. A 10 records, detects and plays back with no monthly fee; a 1 is a live-view intercom. The weakest is Smart Home Integration at 4.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: eufy's own two sources disagree on the wiring requirement (8-24V vs 16-24V) and on the sensor resolution, which is careless for a $150 device; and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, and Linkd Home measured 13.6 seconds average notification latency with thumbnails. Every specification on this page comes from eufy's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.

Full Specifications
| Resolution (actual pixels) | Sources conflict: eufy's own E340 specification article gives main camera 2048 x 1536 and second camera 1600 x 1200 (which eufy labels "1080p" although it is 4:3); B&H's listing for the same SKU claims 2560 x 1920 / 4MP. eufy markets both lenses simply as "2K" |
| Aspect Ratio | 4:3 on both cameras. There is no single head-to-toe frame — the second, downward-facing camera is what covers the doorstep |
| Field of View | Not published by eufy in its E340 specification article, and absent from B&H's and eufy's own listings |
| Power Source | Removable USB-C rechargeable battery, or hardwired. eufy requires the battery to stay installed even in wired mode |
| Wiring / Transformer Requirement | Sources conflict: eufy's product page says "8 to 24V and >10VA", while eufy's own E340 specification support article says "Existing Doorbell Wiring (16-24V, 10VA) or 19V-0.6A DC Power Adapter" |
| Battery Life (claimed) | eufy publishes no month figure for the E340. Linkd Home's 30-day heavy-use test ended at 74% and projected roughly 78 days to shutdown |
| Wi-Fi Bands | 2.4GHz only (802.11 b/g/n), plus a 433MHz radio for eufy chimes |
| Local Storage | 8GB eMMC inside the doorbell with no card slot — around 90 days at 30 twenty-second clips a day. Expanding it means buying a HomeBase S280 or S380 separately |
| Works Without a Subscription | Everything. Recording, playback, human detection, Delivery Guard package detection and face recognition all run locally with no plan |
| Behind the Paywall | Nothing essential — eufy sells optional cloud backup only |
| Smart Home / HomeKit / Matter | Alexa and Google Assistant. No Apple HomeKit, no Matter |
| Indoor Chime | Not on this SKU. It drives an existing mechanical chime, a eufy HomeBase, or a smart speaker; the chime bundle is a separate purchase |
| Connectivity | 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, 433MHz (eufy chime link) |
| Material | Polycarbonate, IP65-rated |
| Warranty | 12 months |
