'Fantastic quality' subscription free video doorbell drops from £100 to £60

"All good so far, have used three other makes and this is much better."
Amazon is currently holding a limited time sale on all shoppers' must-have products, from technology to bundle buys of protein bars and washing up pods. In the midst of the massive sale, there are some cracking deals available on video doorbells.
These gadgets have been gaining popularity over recent years as they allow homeowners to keep an eye on their house while they are away. They also give the ability to talk to whoever does grace their doorstep, whether it be family or a delivery worker.
However, while these deals may seem great, many popular video doorbells - such as Blink and Ring - come with the caveat of shoppers having to join a subscription service after 30 days in order to access all the features. This can become frustrating as shoppers have already spent a decent bit of money on the device.
In order to combat this, Amazon has also reduced the price of a few video doorbells that don't require a subscription fee. One of which is the eufy Security Video Doorbell Wireless C210 which usually retails for £99.99. However, for a limited time only, shoppers can snatch this gadget up for £59.99.
Shoppers will get a crisp 1080p-grade view of anyone who approaches their home with the eufy doorbell. With an advanced WDR and a 4:3 aspect ratio, this device ensures users get a colour-accurate, head-to-toe image every time.
Boasting a battery life of 120 days on a single charge, the doorbell also comes with a Wi-Fi chime which will let everyone at home know when someone is at the door. The security gadget is also said to only take minutes to set up as it doesn't require any complicated wires.

Product Description
Through the eufy app, shoppers will be able to receive facial snapshot notifications, customise a detection zone to reduce the amount of false alarms and speak to whoever approaches the front door in real time. All of this without having to pay a subscription.
Alternatively, for people who are happy to pay a subscription for a more well known brand, Amazon has also reduced the price of the Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2024 release). Normally retailing for £99.99, shoppers can now grab this popular device for £59 in a limited time deal.
However, Argos is also selling a subscription free video doorbell for their lowest price. The TP-Link Tapo D210 2K Video Doorbell Battery comes with a chime device and is retailing for £44.99. With a 180 day battery life, this gadget has a IP65 weatherproof rating and can provide a 160 degree ultra wide view.
For those interested in the eufy Video Doorbell, it currently has a 4.2 star rating from over 5,000 shoppers. While it is currently one of Amazon's top choices, over 500 people have also bought the device in the last month.
One five-star reviewer said: "Clear viewing, easy to install, seem a sturdy built item & picks up anyone approaching the door plus it enables communication when needed."
With another adding: "All good so far, have used three other makes and this is much better. Wider image, face capture, quicker response to movement and seems to have longer battery life, biggest plus is free sd storage on plug in doorbell, no more paying out every month."
However, one shopper cautioned that the device doesn't seem to work as well when used with mobile data. They said: "The camera itself is excellent—good resolution, solid battery life, and generally reliable… unless you're on mobile data.
"If you're using a 5G mobile network, you may find that live view and notifications won't connect unless you're on Wi-Fi or using a VPN. This is because Eufy's system uses P2P streaming, which fails under modern CG-NAT mobile networks (standard on most UK and EU carriers)."
Another shopper also grumbled about the battery life: "Ok to start with. Never had one so nothing to compare it to. Listed as 120day battery. Never got that but maybe half. (Low traffic area in a cul-de-sac) after 18months it needs charging every 10 days or so.
"Image quality isn't great but we have CCTV if needed. Cheap enough but probably wouldn't buy again. Next time I'll pay a bit more and hopefully get something that stands the test of time. For the price, not bad."
On the flip side, a happy shopper added: "Quick delivery! Easy to use and setup. The quality of the camera is great even at night. Sound is also great! Connects to the WiFi, no subscription fees either. So far impressed! Have recommended to family and friends!"
While a further customer praised: "We switched our whole security system over to eufy and we are blown away by the quality of the images as well as the usability of the app accompanying it.
"The doorbell camera is fantastic quality in both daytime and nighttime. The app has free storage option and is quick to bring up events it has captured. Overall we have been pleasantly surprised by it!"
