eufy Video Doorbell S330 (Wired) Review (2026)
In-depth review of the eufy Video Doorbell S330 (Wired): dual cameras, local storage, and the HomeBase catch.
eufy Security Video Doorbell S330 (Wired) with Chime
Two cameras, no monthly fee: a wired dual-camera doorbell that watches the visitor and the doorstep at once.
Our verdict
The eufy S330 (Wired) is the best doorbell for buyers who refuse a subscription, because it pairs a genuinely useful second camera with local recording and a chime in the box. The HomeBase catch deserves a plain statement: this wired model connects to its chime, not a HomeBase, so owners planning a wider eufy system should check compatibility first. For a standalone front door, that catch barely matters, and the doorbell itself is excellent.
What we like
- A second downward camera watches the doorstep itself, so a parcel left below the main camera's view is still recorded, which single-camera doorbells miss.
- Recordings stay local with no subscription required for core use, so the doorbell's cost ends at purchase rather than continuing monthly.
- The included wireless chime rings indoors without an existing doorbell chime, which suits homes whose old chime was removed or never fitted.
What to watch out for
- This wired model does not connect to a HomeBase, so owners planning a wider eufy camera system should check compatibility before buying.
- It needs existing doorbell wiring at 16-24V and 30VA, so homes without wiring should look at the battery models instead.
- The eufy app has more menus to learn than the Ring or Google apps, and first setup takes longer as a result.
Who it is for
Wired-home buyers who want package coverage and local recording with no required monthly fee.
Two cameras solve the parcel problem
Most doorbells fail at the same moment: a courier sets a parcel down, steps back, and the parcel sits below the camera's view. The S330's second downward camera exists for exactly that moment, recording the doorstep alongside the visitor. Delivery Guard ties the two views together, so owners see who delivered and what was left in one event, rather than guessing from a single frame that cuts off at knee height.
Local storage, honestly assessed
Local recording is the S330's headline advantage, and it is real: core recording works with no monthly fee, and footage stays in the owner's home rather than on a company's servers. The trade is the usual one for local storage, namely that a stolen doorbell or a failed card can take clips with it, so owners should treat important clips as worth saving promptly rather than assuming they will sit safely forever.
Setup and daily use
Wired install needs 16-24V at 30VA and a short wiring check, after which the included chime handles indoor ringing without an existing chime. The eufy app takes longer to learn than the Ring or Google apps, with more menus between an owner and a setting, but once configured it stays out of the way. Day-to-day use is simple: an alert, a live view, a two-way conversation, and a recorded event that can be reviewed without opening a subscription page.
How it stacks up
Against the Reolink Video Doorbell WiFi, the eufy wins on dual-camera package coverage and a chime in the box, while the Reolink wins on dual-band Wi-Fi and a simpler storage story. Against the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro 4K, the eufy wins on subscription freedom and loses on resolution and Alexa depth. Against the Google Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen), the eufy wins on local storage and loses on intelligent alert polish and Google display integration.

Questions, answered
Does the wired S330 work with a HomeBase?
No. This wired model connects to its included chime, not a eufy HomeBase, so owners planning a HomeBase-based camera system should check eufy's compatibility notes before buying.
Does it need a subscription?
No, not for core recording. Local storage covers the doorbell's main job without a monthly fee, which is the main reason many owners choose it over Ring or Google.
What wiring does it need?
Existing doorbell wiring at 16-24V and 30VA. Homes without doorbell wiring should look at eufy's battery doorbells, including the C30 in this guide, instead.
