According to our doorbell expert
This doorbell has 2 cameras, so you won't miss a single thing and can see exactly who and what's at your door.
The doorbell distinguishes acquaintances, strangers, pets, and packages, you don't need a subscription for this.
Thanks to the rechargeable battery, the doorbell can be installed both wirelessly and wired.
You need to connect this doorbell to a eufy base station that's not included by default.
For a stable connection, you shouldn't place the HomeBase too far from your doorbell.
With the eufy Video Doorbell Dual 2 Pro, you never miss anything that happens at your front door. That's because this smart doorbell has 2 cameras: one at the top and one pointed downwards. As a result, the camera doesn't have blind spots and you can see people at your door from top to bottom. In addition, the bottom camera recognizes packages on your doorstep. The eufy Doorbell 2 Pro also has 2 sensors to detect people. An infrared sensor that detects people based on body temperature and a radar that scans motion. That's how the doorbell recognizes whether you have family, friends, or a stranger at your door and if it's a pet or person walking through your garden. You can connect the doorbell to your eufy HomeBase, just like other eufy products. Don't you have a HomeBase yet? Choose the Doorbell that includes the base station.

More and more often you order something online. Fortunately, with the corona behind us, working from home has also been significantly reduced. That's why for some time now the Netatmo doorbell is FULL of bugs. He had to go. We've been fully satisfied with Eufy's surveillance cams for some time, so that's why we tested their doorbell as well.
Where you can pair the cameras to the homebase with two clicks, I needed 4 attempts at the doorbell. I did exactly the same, but with the fourth it was successful at first. Mine was a second choice, maybe some bits from the previous owner were still flying around? In any case, the connection is now super stable.
Picture and sound quality are superb. Whether the sun is directly in the camera, or it is pitch dark, you will still be able to recognize your visitor perfectly. With the dual camera function, you essentially have it completely in view. Packet detection also works fine. If the camera somehow recognizes a box, you will be notified.
A lot has been written on the web about whether or not these doorbells are HomeKit compatible. Once and for all: you can connect the Eufy cameras with Apple HomeKit without any problems, NOT the doorbell. Strange but true. However, if you have HomeBridge running, there are some plugins that can do that. The setup is done in 1-2-3 and voilà, you have a perfectly working doorbell in HomeKit. Only pay attention to the settings if you use the doorbell on battery (yes, that works too), what if you have HomeKitSecureVideo active, or refresh the image every minute, the battery will be empty in no time. Here it receives a constant 24V AC voltage from the doorbell transformer.
A nice addition: when you ring the bell, a (can be switched off) gong sounds on the homebase. It is centrally located on the ground floor and is sufficiently loud. An extra bell is therefore not necessary if you do not have a smartphone in your pocket at home.
Now the big downside of apparently every video doorbell: it takes forever before you have a conversation with the visitor. People ring the doorbell and at home on WiFi there is a connection within ten seconds. Once on 4G, it quickly takes half a minute and longer. The HomeBase is ten meters from the bell. There is a glass and a wooden door as an obstacle. On the other side of the wall is the WiFi access point. The app shows full WiFi signal strength, so it won't be that. A OneUp internet subscription with Telenet. Full gigabit download and the full 40 megabit upload according to Speedtest. So it won't be. Netatmo was also guilty of this. An important reason to get rid of the Netatmo was just that. Yet we keep the Eufy, because you can automatically play a self-recorded message between certain hours. Since being able to answer quickly is mainly for those parcel carriers, the message can serve this purpose. Actually even better; being at work you often can't answer right away.
One last drawback: As an AppleWatch user, you just get to hear a "pong" when the doorbell rings. A very quick glance at the watch reveals the Eufy emblem. I catch myself not reading the text and think it's a motion alert from the cameras. One might as well have rang the bell. On the iPhone you can choose a different signal when ringing the bell. Not on the Watch. It's about time Apple did something about it.

I purchased the Eufy Video Doorbell Dual 2 Pro in December, hoping it would provide reliable security and convenience, especially during holiday periods when I'm often away from home. Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been far from satisfactory.The most significant issue is the speed. The doorbell's responsiveness is frustratingly slow. By the time I receive an alert and attempt to respond, the person at the door—like the postman—has often already left. This defeats the purpose of having a video doorbell, especially when you're relying on it to monitor and manage visitors remotely. The delay in receiving events while on holiday further compounds this problem, rendering the device almost useless for its intended purpose.Moreover, the two-way communication feature is very disappointing. On several occasions, when I've tried to speak to someone at the door, the audio was broken or completely unintelligible to the person on the other end. This is a critical flaw, as clear communication is a fundamental aspect of any video doorbell.Stability is another major concern. The product does not seem stable in its operation, with the base station needing to be ridiculously close to the doorbell itself to maintain a connection. This restriction severely limits where you can place the doorbell and base station, adding to the inconvenience.Overall, I am deeply dissatisfied with this product, especially since I was depending on it during the holidays. It has failed to meet my expectations in almost every aspect. I believe the purpose of the Eufy Video Doorbell Dual 2 Pro is lost due to its performance issues. I would strongly urge Eufy to consider taking back the product and addressing these significant shortcomings.
