Reolink vs eufy Video Doorbells

Which brand should you buy?

This guide compares Reolink and eufy video doorbells for UK homes. Both record to local storage, so the choice usually comes down to power, storage and extras. Reolink offers a PoE doorbell and microSD on every doorbell, while eufy adds package cameras, built-in storage, an included HomeBase on the S220 and S330, and Apple HomeKit on the S4.

Quick verdict

Choose Reolink if you want:

  • A PoE doorbell: the Video Doorbell PoE runs on PoE or 12-24V AC / 24V DC power.
  • A doorbell that records to a Reolink NVR, as the Video Doorbell PoE and WiFi do; eufy’s PoE NVR needs its Wi-Fi Module to connect eufy’s wireless doorbells.
  • A microSD slot in every doorbell; eufy’s E340, S220 and S330 record to built-in memory or a HomeBase instead.
  • IFTTT and Home Assistant support, which the Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) lists.
