Any recommendations on doorbell cameras? I used to have Ring and it was ok. Moved and got Blink- sucks, didn’t realize it was battery only, constantly dead. Looking at Eufy from Costco- hardwired and no subscription because it uses local storage. Thoughts?
Interesting! I’m always fascinated when people have such different experiences with the same products.
I have 4 total Eufy devices: the latest base station, a doorbell cam, a separate cam in my kitchen pointing at my cat’s food, and the smart display. They’re all connected to the base station which is hardwired to my gigabit connection. The base station is about 10 feet from the doorbell and smart display, and the kitchen cam is about 10 feet in the other direction. That standalone kitchen cam is the most reliable of my Eufy devices, and it still randomly disconnects, only works some of the time, and streams really jankily.
I wonder if I ended up with a bunch of lemons, it sure sounds like my devices are not working as intended.
Yeah, it’s weird. But there’s a lot of things that could affect these devices. Ours is Ethernet but only to our mesh point in the middle of our place so it’s not too far from either camera.
I wonder if it’s choking on the 4 devices. Never had that many connected. I do want to add more some time, but likely only one or two more cameras.
