The Eufy Video Doorbell E340 is the most capable no-subscription video doorbell available in 2026. Its dual-camera design — one wide-angle and one downward-facing package camera — solves a real problem that single-lens doorbells cannot. Here is our full assessment.
The Dual Camera Advantage
Most video doorbells capture face-height footage. The E340 adds a second camera angled downward to capture the doorstep area — specifically packages left on the step. In practice this means you can clearly see both the visitor’s face and any delivery left at the door in the same event clip. The top lens shoots in 2K (2560×1920), the bottom package lens in 1080p. Both record simultaneously on motion trigger.
Storage: Genuinely Free, Forever
Footage stores locally on the Eufy HomeBase 3 hub at zero cost. No subscription, no trial period, no features locked behind a paywall. The HomeBase 3 accepts up to 16TB of external storage for months of retained footage. You can optionally enable encrypted cloud backup if you want offsite redundancy. This makes the E340 the strongest answer to the question “which video doorbell has no subscription?” — see our full no-subscription doorbell guide for all options.
Installation
Battery-powered, so no wiring required. The included wedge mount adjusts the camera angle. For renters, Eufy sells a no-drill adhesive mount separately. Setup via the Eufy Security app takes around 20 minutes. Works with both Alexa and Google Home — see our Ring vs Eufy comparison for ecosystem detail.
Verdict: 8.8/10
The Eufy E340 is the definitive choice for buyers who want never to pay a monthly fee. The dual-camera package detection is a genuine differentiator. Main limitations: the app is less polished than Ring’s and the HomeBase hub adds cost. See the full video doorbell comparison and our top security companies guide for broader context.
