Imagine you’re at work, or maybe grabbing a coffee with a friend, when your phone buzzes. It’s not a text or a random notification—it’s your front door, telling you a package just landed on your porch. Or better yet, it’s letting you know someone’s lingering a bit too long near that package. No monthly fees, no fuss, just crystal-clear footage and peace of mind. That’s the promise of the eufy Video Doorbell E340, and right now, it’s yours for a steal at $110 from Best Buy—$40 off its usual price. But what makes this doorbell worth your attention in a sea of smart home gadgets?
The E340 isn’t your average video doorbell. It’s got two cameras, and they’re not just there for show. The front-facing one, packing a sharp 2K resolution (2048 x 1536 pixels), keeps an eye on whoever’s at your door—delivery folks, neighbors, or that random guy selling cable packages. The second camera, angled downward at 1600 x 1200 resolution, watches the ground, catching every detail of what’s left on your doorstep. Packages, stray shoes, or even a sneaky porch pirate’s sneakers—it sees it all.
This dual-camera setup is a game-changer. Most doorbells give you a fish-eye view that might miss what’s right under their nose. Ever had a delivery driver drop a package so close to the door that your camera couldn’t spot it? With the E340, that’s not an issue. The downward lens ensures no blind spots, making it a standout for anyone who’s tired of playing hide-and-seek with their Amazon orders.
Now, let’s talk about what happens when the sun goes down. The E340 boasts what eufy calls the “industry’s first dual-light system.” Translation? Two motion-activated LED spotlights—one at the top, one at the bottom—kick on when someone approaches. Paired with an advanced light-processing algorithm, this setup delivers color night vision that’s clear as day up to 16 feet away. No grainy, blurry footage here. Whether it’s a late-night delivery or a raccoon rummaging through your recycling, you’ll see it in vivid detail.
You can opt for black-and-white infrared mode to save battery life, but the color option is where the E340 shines. The top camera delivers “crisp, equally sharp” video day or night, while the bottom one keeps packages in clear view. It’s the kind of clarity that makes you feel like you’re right there, even if you’re halfway across town.
Here’s where the E340 really pulls ahead of the pack: it doesn’t nickel-and-dime you with monthly fees. Unlike competitors like Ring or Arlo, which often lock features like video storage or smart alerts behind a paywall, eufy gives you everything upfront. The doorbell comes with 8GB of built-in storage—enough for about 60 days of event recordings, depending on how busy your doorstep is. That’s roughly 1,800 10-second clips, according to eufy’s estimates. And it’s all encrypted locally, so your footage stays private without ever touching the cloud.
For context, a typical cloud storage plan for a video doorbell can run $3–$8 a month. That’s $36–$96 a year you’re saving with the E340. If you want extra storage, you can pair it with eufy’s HomeBase S380 for up to 16TB (though that’s overkill for most). Or, grab the optional wireless chime, which doubles as a storage expander with a microSD slot for up to 128GB. Either way, you’re in control—no recurring costs required.
The E340 isn’t just a camera—it’s a brainy one. Its AI can tell the difference between a person, a package, or a stray cat, so you’re not bombarded with useless alerts. The Delivery Guard feature is a standout: it pings you the moment a package arrives and keeps tabs on it, notifying you if someone gets too close. You can even set it to play a pre-recorded message like, “Please don’t touch the package!” to scare off would-be thieves. There’s also facial recognition, which can tag familiar faces (like your roommate or regular UPS driver) and flag strangers.
Two-way audio lets you chat with visitors from anywhere, whether you’re telling a delivery person where to leave a box or politely asking a solicitor to move along. The eufy Security app makes it all dead simple to manage, with clear menus and quick access to live feeds.
Installation is another area where the E340 flexes its versatility. You can go wireless with its 6500mAh battery, which eufy says lasts up to six months on a single charge (real-world tests suggest four months with moderate use). Popping the battery out for a recharge is easy, though you’ll need the included security pin to deter thieves. If you’d rather not deal with charging, hook it up to your existing doorbell wiring (16–24V, >10VA). Even in wired mode, the battery stays in as a backup, keeping things running smoothly.
The setup process is straightforward, whether you’re drilling into brick or sticking with a renter-friendly adhesive mount (sorry, renters, drilling is still required for the full install). The box includes everything you need: a mounting bracket, screws, a 15-degree wedge for angled views, and a clear guide. If you’ve got an existing chime, the E340 can work with it, or you can use Alexa or Google Assistant devices as a chime instead. One hiccup? It doesn’t play nice with Apple HomeKit or IFTTT, which might disappoint die-hard Apple fans. But for Amazon and Google ecosystems, it’s seamless.
With an IP65 weatherproof rating, the E340 laughs off rain, snow, and scorching summer days. It’s compact—6 inches tall, 1.9 inches wide, 1.2 inches deep—and sports a sleek black finish that blends into most home exteriors. Plus, it comes with a “Protected by eufy” sticker to warn off troublemakers—a small touch that could make a big difference.
No gadget’s perfect. The E340’s third-party support is limited—Alexa and Google Assistant work fine, but don’t expect deep integration with SmartThings or Matter. If your smart home is a patchwork of platforms, you might feel boxed in. Battery life also varies; heavy use (like constant motion alerts in a busy neighborhood) can drain it faster than advertised. And while the design is functional, it’s not winning any beauty contests. But for $110, these are minor gripes.
At full price ($150–$180 depending on the retailer), the E340 is a strong contender. At $110, it’s a no-brainer. You’re getting premium features—dual 2K cameras, color night vision, smart AI, and local storage—for less than some single-lens doorbells. Compare that to the Arlo Video Doorbell 2nd Gen ($80 but subscription-heavy) or Google Nest Doorbell ($180 with fewer features), and the E340’s value is undeniable.
This deal won’t last forever, so if you’ve been eyeing a video doorbell, now’s the time. It’s not just about catching package thieves—it’s about knowing who’s at your door, what’s on your porch, and that your home’s secure, all without breaking the bank. Grab it, install it, and let your doorstep do the talking.
