The eufy Video Doorbell E340 (model T8214) is an outdoor smart doorbell designed to monitor both visitors and parcels using a dual-camera layout. The front-facing camera captures approaching callers in 2K resolution, while a secondary downward-facing camera focuses on the doorstep below to keep track of delivered packages. According to eufy, the unit includes 8GB of built-in local eMMC storage, retaining event-based recordings directly on the device so users avoid ongoing monthly subscription fees. The unit is IP65 weather-rated and features a motion-activated dual-light system designed to provide colour video coverage at night.
Who it suits
This doorbell suits households that regularly order goods online and need clear visual coverage of the doorstep to confirm package deliveries. Because it records to onboard memory and connects straight to a standard Wi-Fi network, it suits buyers who want a functional video doorbell without committing to cloud contracts or buying extra base stations.
It is also well suited to renters, as the rechargeable battery setup allows mounting without altering wall cavities or electrical lines. However, tenants should review their tenancy agreement and check local residential tenancy rules before attaching mounting plates to external structures. Conversely, those invested in Apple Home or Matter smart homes should bypass this model, as eufy confirms it does not natively integrate with HomeKit or Matter platforms.
Australian notes
For wired setups, eufy states the E340 requires an AC transformer delivering between 8V and 24V (at least 10VA). If your home lacks compatible low-voltage wiring, adding a mains-connected transformer is generally work for a licensed electrician; check your state's electrical safety regulator. Note that eufy specifies the internal battery must stay in place during wired operation, as the wiring primarily trickle-charges the battery pack.
When positioning the cameras, ensure the viewing field respects neighbouring properties and shared pathways. In Australia, recording public areas or communal apartment spaces may involve privacy obligations; check your state's surveillance devices legislation and applicable strata by-laws.
The E340 operates strictly on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, meaning strong reception is necessary through external walls. In Australia, it is sold by major retailers including JB Hi-Fi and Bunnings, supported by a standard 12-month manufacturer warranty alongside consumer guarantees provided under Australian Consumer Law.
