My favorite video doorbell is on sale for Prime Day — and it has features to protect your packages from thieves
There's nothing worse than having an Amazon package left at your door, in full view of the street and nobody home to grab it. While some kind of package locker may be in order, you can always opt for a simpler approach — a video doorbell. But this isn't just any video doorbell. Eufy's E340 video doorbell actually has a second camera and AI that work in tandem to keep tabs on packages. Oh, and it's on sale for Prime Day with Amazon selling the eufy E340 video doorbell for just $94. That's $55 off the usual price tag, and a saving of 37%. Protect your packages from thieves with Eufy's E340 dual-camera video doorbell. Not only does it have a second camera lens to watch your porch, it also uses an on-board AI to detect any packages that are dropped off and taken away. The swappable batteries also make it a lot easier to keep yopur doorbell powered on without actual doorbell wiring. They do cost extra, though. Eufy E340 Video Doorbell with spare battery: was $199 now $129 The E340's second camera is angled down at your porch, which means any packages that are dropped off should be left in full view of the camera. The on-board AI can also detect when packages have been dropped off, and perhaps most crucially, when they have been removed — alerting you with notifications. It may not stop porch pirates from stealing your stuff, but it does mean you'll have a full recording of them committing that crime. Which the police (or Amazon) may be interested to see. The main doorbell camera uses infra red night vision, but the bottom instead features two built-in lights for full color night vision. So you should get more detail than your standard grainy grayscale footage — which is a big win. The lights are motion activated too, which may even scare off a few skittish thieves. Plus, unlike other video doorbells that need to be removed and recharged, eufy built the E340 with swappable batteries. That way you can pop in a new battery and minimise the amount of time your doorbell isn't recording. Sadly you only get one battery with this particular deal, but Amazon is selling an E340 with an additional battery for $129 — down from $199. The other great thing about the E340 video doorbell is that it's completely standalone, and doesn't require a eufy Homebase to operate. Though Homebases are required for a lot of other eufy cameras, and offer significantly more storage space in the process. Because the E340's 8GB on-board storage isn't going to last long.

I've lost count of the number of video doorbells I've tested over the years, and they're a gadget every house should have, so I've always got some more on the way for reviews. But once I've spent a few weeks living with a new model, this is the one that always goes back up on my door. It's the Eufy E340, and I've had it for a few years now. That's a very long stint for a piece of tech in my house. And there are a few reasons why I like it so much. Firstly and, most importantly for me, it captures footage and records it for free. So you don't have to pay a monthly fee for storing and sharing your videos. That's always a big turn-off for me. The early Prime Day deal knocks 44% off the price | Amazon It has 2K footage, the AI detection is about as good as it gets, the battery lasts for at least a month even after two years, and the Eufy app makes it very easy to set up and use. One of my favourite features, though, is its dual camera setup. One points at your visitor, as you'd expect, and another one points down at the door mat - where the visitor is likely to have left your parcel. The AI system then cuts in and monitors the parcel that has been left, sending you an alert if anyone goes near it or if it gets picked up. If there are some young ruffians inspecting it, you'll know about it and you can use the two-way intercom to politely tell them to leave your property. And when you get home and approach the parcel, the person detection will spot your face, know it's you, and let you pick up the parcel without any fuss. It all works so seamlessly. The Eufy app makes it easy to set up your doorbell, and very easy to connect to it | Amazon The price? At its standard price of £159.99 it's pretty expensive for a video doorbell - but there's an "Early Prime Day Deal" on Amazon right now, bringing it down to £89.99 - and that's such a bargain. The Eufy E340 is at its best when paired up to a Homebase, and they're pretty pricey, but cheaper chime units are less than £30. You can just run it through the app though, which works fine. It just doesn't make a loud noise across the house when someone rings the bell. Amazon will give you the option to pay £90 for professional installation and, if you choose to hardwire it that's probably worth doing, but mine's mounted wirelessly and it took me five minutes. It was a doddle. Amazon Prime Day runs from Tuesday, July 8 until Friday, July 11, so it's likely this deal will expire after next Friday. But we don't know how many are in stock and they're likely to sell quickly - so grab one while you can.
