Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen, Retinal 4K) vs eufy Security Video Doorbell E340

Tom's Guide says you'll get notifications but no access to recordings without a Ring subscription, and it doesn't support Ring Edge for local storage. PCMag says, as with all Ring devices, a subscription is needed to access recorded video and unlock several features.

PCMag calls it one of the more expensive doorbells it has tested at $249.99 and notes it doesn't support Apple HomeKit or Google Assistant. Tom's Guide lists it as hardwired only with no battery backup, so it goes dark if the power and internet go out.

Amazon's review summary says some owners report it doesn't work with their existing wired chime or has trouble triggering it, and opinions on motion detection are mixed, with some reporting poor range.

Wirecutter says the internal battery died in less than two weeks, probably because of the two lenses. Several low-star Walmart reviews say it doesn't last a month, including one that needed a recharge 17 days after install.

Two 1-star Walmart reviews say it overheats in the sun, shuts down and goes offline. Other Walmart owners report the chime not ringing and failed Wi-Fi setup. Amazon's summary calls reliability mixed.

Consumer Reports gives it only midlevel privacy and video scores. In December 2022, TechRadar reported that Anker confirmed security flaws in its eufy cameras: the Doorbell Dual's live feed could be opened via a URL with no password, and push-notification thumbnails went through the cloud. PCMag also notes there's no HomeKit or IFTTT support.
