Eufy Doorbell

[rsbhj]

Hi

Recently added the Eufy doorbell to my current camera system. I have found that over the last couple days since installing, I have had several delivers from various couriers, and they all knock the door lol. I had read that some find the Eufy doorbell an issue as people dont think it is a doorbell.

Anyone experiencing this issue?

One of the major draw backs is that the ring button only lights when pressed so you are not drawn to it, like Ring products. I have my one hardwired and contacted eufy but there is no way to actually have this lit up all the time, due to battery power savings.

Mine lights up when approached, have you been into settings and switch "status LED/Night vision etc etc" on? You might also need to switch on motion detection

lol its deliberate think they are worries about pictures being taken

I have it also set it to LED, motion detect etc the blue ring backlight is not great in daylight, and still to test it when it gets dark. I know it comes on with red LED and the Blue so that will prob confuse more when its dark lol.

I was hoping there was a way to have it on all the time and turn up the brightness if hardwired, but seem Eufy are doing it as a one size fits all for battery or hardwired.

@secureiam I had thought this might be a reason also. Door is not very busy these days other than deliveries lol

I have had several delivers from various couriers, and they all knock the door lol.

All my couriers and postal deliverers have stopped using doorbell and now knock.
I presumed the change from doorbell to knocking was due to their worries of the doorbell being a frequent point of contact and hence a increased risk from Covid.

Had also crossed my mind but they were all using the old doorbell fine. Will see how it goes over next while, but no point if no one knows its a doorbell
