We recently completed a Eufy dual-camera video doorbell installation at a property in Milton Keynes, replacing a standard bell with a system the customer can see and answer from their phone.
Why this one has two cameras
The unit fitted here has two lenses — one at eye level for visitors, and a second angled down at the doorstep. That lower camera is the reason people choose this model. A single wide-angle doorbell camera looks straight ahead and shows you a delivery driver walking away; it does not show you whether the parcel was actually left, or whether it is still there an hour later. The second camera does.
Positioning is most of the job
Height is the decision that determines whether a video doorbell is useful or annoying. Too high and you get a good view of the top of everyone’s head. Too low and it captures the path rather than the person. It also needs to sit where the field of view is not blocked by an open door, a porch return or a wall, and where direct sun is not sitting straight into the lens at the time of day it matters.
This one was mounted on the brick beside the door at a height that gives a clear view of a caller, with the doorstep in frame below.
Wiring and power
We wired it into a permanent supply rather than leaving it on battery, so there is no unit to take down and recharge every few weeks — the ongoing annoyance that leads to most smart doorbells being quietly abandoned. Drilling through masonry, sealing the entry point and connecting into the existing bell wiring is straightforward for an electrician and awkward for anyone else.
The installation was completed neatly, tested, and set up before handover.
