The differences between the wired and wireless Eufy doorbells

A Eufy doorbell that's set up wired always has power, so the battery can't drain. This means the doorbell is more reliable and you're sure that your front garden is guarded. Is the power down for a short while? Your Eufy doorbell uses the built-in battery as a backup. The WiFi connection of a wired doorbell is also more reliable. That's because your doorbell doesn't need to save energy. Thanks to this, there's a powerful WiFi connection and all footage is transmitted correctly.

The battery of a wirelessly installed Eufy doorbell is empty after 3 to 6 months. If many people walk by or in your garden, the battery runs out even faster. So it's possible that the doorbell doesn't record while you're away from home. This way, you miss what's happening at your front door. You also need to charge the battery regularly. You need to remove the doorbell from the wall for this and it temporarily won't record, so a doorbell with battery is less reliable.

As the name suggests, you connect a wired Eufy doorbell to the power grid with wires. This makes the setup harder than for a doorbell with battery. For example, you need a suitable doorbell transformer in your fuse box. If you don't have a wired doorbell right now, you also need to pull cables to your front door. Do you already have a wired doorbell? The setup is easier and you only have to replace your current doorbell. Keep in mind that you turn off the transformer.

Setting up a Eufy doorbell wirelessly is very easy. Because this doorbell works with a battery, you don't need cables at your front door. Thanks to this, you're more flexible with placing the doorbell. This way, you can attach the doorbell to the wall in any place you want. Keep in mind that the battery has to be fully charged when you set it up. Also make sure that the doorbell is easy to remove. When the battery is empty, you have to take it off the wall.

Because a wired Eufy doorbell always has power, it records more footage. That's because the doorbell doesn't have to save battery life. Thanks to this, the video doorbell starts recording earlier when it detects movement. The video footage recorded by the doorbell is also longer. This way, you can see better what happened in the front garden. A wired Eufy doorbell ensures a better security around your house this way.

A Eufy doorbell that works on a battery records short videos by default. The doorbell does this to save battery. The doorbell also starts recording later with the default settings. So compared to a wired Eufy doorbell, the security isn't as good. You can set the doorbell in a way that it records longer and more often, but you then need to charge the battery monthly.
