[ARTHUR_BRIAN_MOTT]

I enjoy my door cam. It’s perfect for my home and the interface works fine on iOS.

Hi, when can we buy this doorbell in the Netherlands?

[Ice1]

@AnkerOfficial more details or comparison needed between this model and the previous wired Doorbell.

• Having battery backup is the only difference?
• why this one has to be with a homebase? (only for secure storage?)
• Can I link both these variants to my existing homebase (original)?
• Is Homekit coming to any of these 2 models??

[AnkerTechnical]

Is there any news on when or if this’ll come to the U.K. market @AnkerOfficial?

We would love to launch it to UK and other regions ASAP.
The regulations in UK are different from that in the US. We need more time to get certified and expect to launch it in Q2, 2020.

Please honour your existing camera system users and release a doorbell-only version that can be integrated for those of us with a HomeBase 2 already! I’ve no need for another HB2 but would buy a doorbell to add to my setup. Thanks

Sure! That has been in the plan. Our factory is working around the clock to manufacture the product.
If everything goes well, we will launch it in April.

I tried two devices. It keep get disconnected, then after 24 hours it reconnect again… I have the feeling that in a busy wifi environment if you restart the router each day, that device is unable to handle that. I think it has issue with DHCP handling/renew, and should detect reset/restart of router and do the right thing. However, the software is the best I have seen on 6 other model of doorbell.

Thanks for the feedback. May I know if you’re referring to the newly launched battery doorbell or other products? We can follow up in person and figure it out. Please email us on support@eufylife.com.

Storage is a non issue for me as I can go back over 2 months with the current Wired doorbell. I would assume that storage space would be Shared with any other camera you have using that homebase as well.

If someone steals my doorbell, then I will have to hope one of my two outside cameras will have picked them up. I have the doorbell as a deterrent and so I can tell when packages get dropped off.

Correct. All cameras and doorbell connected to HomeBase share its 16GB storage.

Thanks for your interest in learning more on our doorbell products.

You may consider the wired doorbell as a doorbell with consistent power supply. It’s active 24x7.

The battery doorbell gets power supply directly from its builtin battery. So most of the time it’s in power saving mode to preserve power. It has a motion sensor to detect events and wake up the camera. It’s more like our battery powered eufyCam. Though it supports user connect the doorbell to existing doorbell wires, this is mainly for battery re-charge and trigger original chime to sound. Hardwiring the battery doorbell doesn’t make it a 24x7 active doorbell.

For those who have existing doorbell wiring at the front door and are comfortable to deal with doorbell wiring and chime, we recommend the wired doorbell.
For those who don’t have existing doorbell wiring or just want an easy DIY doorbell, the battery doorbell is better.

In regard to the HomeBase, the battery doorbell must work with the HomeBase like the eufyCam. This is for the proprietary low-power wireless connection and in-house video storage.
The wired doorbell doesn’t support connecting to HomeBase yet, but it’s clear it can support that and we’re working on it.
For the HomeKit support, we are evaluating that for the battery doorbell. Since Apple has specific performance and use experience requirements, we can’t give a quick yes or no yet. Stay tuned.

Looks pretty cool! May need to grab one!

Thank you @AnkerTechnical for your response. It seems like Wired options is best for my case.

The wired doorbell doesn’t support connecting to HomeBase yet, but it’s clear it can support that and we’re working on it.

Hope this will be done soon and made available so I can use my existing Homebase (V1) to store more videos and not worry about running out of memory or loosing the device.

Micro sd card slot would be nice to upgrade onboard storage to end users choice

[Rickats]

Does the wired version have the same lens and AI technology as the wireless one?

seems the “sony lens” is promoted here along with some sort of AI chipset, is this the case for the hardwired too?

[Devesh_Batra]

Amazing. Glad to see a doorbell with great features and no monthly fee…

Love to see an option to buy just a doorbell (without the hub) to extend to a second door or for folks that already have a hub with the eufy 2 cams…

3s pre-buffer recording is not available if wired?

[zhouhui21123]

hello, thanks

[grahamsenior]

Apparently not - which is a pity
