Most video doorbells hide their best features behind a subscription. The Eufy Video Doorbell E340 takes the opposite path — and that is exactly why several 2026 round-ups call it the most complete doorbell for most buyers.
No subscription, full features
Video recording, package detection, facial recognition and AI motion alerts are all included forever, stored on 8GB of built-in local storage. Compared with a typical cloud plan, that saves around $48 per year — the doorbell effectively pays for itself.
Two cameras, one doorbell
The E340’s party trick is its dual-camera design: a main camera watches faces at the door while a second, downward-facing camera watches the doormat — so you can see both the courier and the package they left. Colour night vision keeps footage usable after dark.
Everyday use
Motion alerts are fast and the AI reliably distinguishes people from passing cars. It works on battery or wired power, integrates with Alexa and Google Home, and the Eufy app makes scrubbing through events simple.
The downsides
There is no native Apple Home support, and local storage means that if someone steals the doorbell, they take the footage with it (Eufy mitigates this with encrypted storage and theft replacement). Serious Apple households should look at the Aqara G5 Pro instead.
Verdict
9/10. The best value in video doorbells in 2026: every feature included, no monthly fees, and a genuinely useful second camera.
Buy it if: you refuse to pay subscriptions and want package detection done right.
Skip it if: you need Apple HomeKit Secure Video.
