Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First I'll explain experience with a 'competitive' product.... I had previously purchased a Ring 2 - chosen because it was one of the few battery operated available at that time and I 'thought' that the name brand (and reviews) meant it would be a good choice - I was sooo wrong! The Ring product started out looking good, with a well-thought-out kit of parts included in the box .... well all was 'great' until I actually installed and tried to use it. Then the major disappointment set it - there are fundamental problems with Ring devices, only unfortunately discovered after the fact, where with further research appear like a rash across their own forums with deafening silence from Ring in regard to either acknowledging or resolving the issues - the audio at the Bell was barely discernible; then worse, it was impossible to have a 2-way conversation using a late-model Samsung phone and same issue with an i-phone; Delighted to say NEITHER of those issues were prevalent on the Eufy - I could not be more pleased with this device. It also has everything you need, right in the box, including angle bracket if you should require that. it was very easy to install and commission - both the homebase (which not only transmits your data to your local network, but also incorporates your on-board local storage and chime function) wireless signal to router and between the doorbell and homebase are excellent. (see image). I mentioned the local event storage - this means no monthly fees. Two way communication is crystal clear although there admittedly is a slight delay. I also integrated my Alexa Show (see image) - there is no 2-way communication possible, but it does show live view video if you receive an alert - or simply ask Alexa to show you the doorbell! Phone apps for the system (both apple and android) are clean and functional. This truly IS a wireless installation - simply screw the doorbell to the door location of your choice, unencumbered by having to be restricted to old bell location (although you CAN if you want to, which means it will be self-charging; then after initial set-up of the homebase connected to router, the homebase too can be wirelessly connected to your router (still requiring electrical for that however of course) Eufy vs Ring comparison - Ease of installation & quality of kit content - similar - Set-up - similar but I would give nod to Eufy for the App and Wireless set-up - Functionality - hands down advantage Eufy (see fundamental non-function with late model Samsung); much more customization available within the Eufy app. - Picture Quality - Eufy! - Audio Quality- Eufy! - File Storage - Eufy! - local storage, no monthly fees! - Expandability - Eufy! - Easy to add cameras etc to expand basic capability for an integrated security system So yes, not only has it resolved the fundamental issues experienced with RIng device, I am delighted with the additional performance afforded by the Eufy system . Definitely a 5 star, two thumbs up!
