Why we chose this
Most video doorbells assume you're fine with footage living on a server somewhere. The E330 doesn't make that assumption, and it doesn't sacrifice features to deliver on it. For privacy-minded households, it's the only doorbell we'd recommend.
The review
The Eufy E330 is the doorbell to buy if you don't want to rent your video footage from a cloud company. It records 2K HDR locally to a HomeBase 3 (included), and the AI runs on-device — person/vehicle/package detection, facial recognition, delivery tracking — none of which leaves your network unless you opt in. The dual-camera design covers the package zone at the door's feet without a separate camera, the 'Family Recognition' actually learns regular visitors and stops alerting after the third 'oh that's the postman,' and the doorbell itself is wired-or-battery (it can use existing chime wiring or run for six months on its built-in battery). HomeKit Secure Video support is there, RTSP for Home Assistant users is there, and the only ongoing cost is whatever microSD card you slot into the HomeBase. It's the rare smart-home product where the privacy story isn't a marketing claim — it's a technical guarantee.
