Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera vs Eufy Video Doorbell E340

Full Smart Doorbells comparison in 2026

Updated October 2026
Data from the official Ecobee and Eufy sites.
2026 verdict
Eufy's local recording against ecobee's Apple tie-in: the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 is the more complete doorbell, with 2K video, 8 GB on board and package and familiar-face alerts without a plan.
It also works with Google Home and Home Assistant and has color night vision. The Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera has its own strengths: native Apple Home support, HDR, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, a three-year warranty and a slightly better owner rating, but it is wired only and keeps video history behind an ecobee subscription. Pick the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 for local storage and wider platform support, and the Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera for an Apple Home household with wiring, especially one with an ecobee thermostat.

What owners say

Owners of both doorbells praise a head-to-toe view and accurate person detection, and both groups have a chime story to tell: neither brings one into the box. Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera owners single out Apple Home integration with instant notifications, the link to ecobee thermostats and reliability in extreme cold. They complain that HomeKit Secure Video is disabled, that all recording sits behind a plan, that notifications can lag and that it can need a stronger transformer. Eufy Video Doorbell E340 owners single out the free local recording, the second camera pointed at the doorstep and accurate package and person detection. They complain about the clunky app, occasional false package alerts, only adequate battery life and the separate chime it needs to ring indoors.
