I use to only get the ring on my phone not good when I wasn’t home……by adding this device. When a visitor drops by or a package. The ring the bell and the people at home can answer the door. A must have with the door camera.

This doorbell camera was fairly easy to install and set up once you have the eufy app set up on your phone. Easy step by step instructions to follow.

I got the 340 last week expecting it could use my google home network as the doorbell but the feature is either not available yet (app update due by end of january) or I just couldn't figure out how to turn it on. While I may go to a home base at some point I really didn't want to spend the hundred fifty yet for a home base so I got this unit. It's important to note the chimes don't work with all the models of the doorbell so read carefully if you have other than the 340. I read one review who said she had an awful time getting it to connect, thankfully that was not my experience. I've installed quite a lot of this stuff in the last few years, it's sometimes useful to set your cellphone/tablet to the same network that you want to connect your device to (old installer's trick), I did that with my doorbell did it here too that might be why it was easy, can't say for sure. This is a 2.4ghz device, if you've got a newer router that incorporates 2.4 and 5 ghz under one network name you may have problems connecting, most mesh routers have the capability to create multiple networks in the settings and you can setup a 2.4ghz network only and give it a different name, I did this long ago because I have several temperamental devices that just will not deal with a mesh setup.Assembly: The USA plug is separated from the unit, you just match up the indentations and turn right to lock it on. If you plan to use at least a class 10 micro sd card up to 128 capacity that installs in a slot on the side of the chime. As with the other eufy device I have, most of the instructions are in the app not the paper in the box. Start the eufy security app, go to the doorbell main selection and pick the mini chime you'll be asked to scan the code box that's on the bottom--not the back, of the chime device. Plug it into the wall press the sync button on top for a couple seconds the light on the front will go red for a few minutes. You'll hear an audible confirmation that the chime has connected, some folks have problems with this step apparently.The chime will want to format your storage card. Right after install it sat at zero for a few minutes until I canceled it and then I got another notification of a new sd card and that time it formatted the card in a minute or two no problems. Somewhere during this step the video that might already be on your 340 doorbell is being moved to the sd card in the chime. Before I installed the chime I didn't seem to have any access to the video on the doorbell, after the chime was installed (and it also needed a firmware update but I had to check manually to find that out I didn't get a notification of a firmware update for the chime) I suddenly had about a dozen activations listed that let me watch the associated video which is how I know it brought it over from the doorbell because they were from earlier in the day.Chime selection: There's a few choices, would be nice if you could record your own and use that but I'd still prefer if the google home could announce like Alexa does. It's not clear if you can use multiple chimes per doorbell or only one, if you've got a larger home you might need a couple of chimes to be sure you can hear it if someone comes to the door. The doorbell can be set to send a notification to your phone if there's motion or someone presses the doorbell button but I don't always carry my phone around the house with me all the time. Now that the chime is installed it shouldn't matter where in the house it's plugged in so you could just put it in a plug near where you will be hanging out and deal with it that way. Satisfied, thirty bucks is a lot better than 150 when you aren't certain how much you want to dedicate yourself to a new system. I don't know if it matters or not but I use a cheap 2.4ghz only tp link router for many of my devices that I know don't get along with my main mesh router. This way if something happens to the router provided by my IP I can swap that out without the need to reinstall every little camera and door open switch all over my house and yard. I'm very anxious to see what improvements come with the new version of the eufy app, so far satisfied with the 340 doorbell and now this chime I may get a camera or two at some point don't really need anything at the moment.update: Apparently eufy monitors the "community" section in the app and they responded about the google home as chime issue. It's apparently still under development for the 340 doorbell and is not currently available.NOTE: I added a home base three to my setup but didn't immediately reinstall the doorbell and doing so apparently affected this unit acting as my chime. The doorbell still worked manually but if anyone pushed the button or activated by motion there was no chime and I wasn't getting notifications either. It seems Eufy has some bug squashing to do with this product and their app. I had hoped that I could use the home base three as a chime in the room I spend most of my time in and still use this as an extra chime on the other side of the house but apparently the unit I need to do that is a different product that has a dongle that plugs into the back of the home base (another thirty five dollars) Oh well this just gives me a spare chime in case something should happen to my home base I suppose. So just keep in mind if you add a home base to your system it "might" knock out any setup you've already got going over wifi using this product.

Have used it for a week now. Took 5 hours to set up and install. Picture quality is excellent in both daytime and nighttime. ( you can see faces very clearly). View of our front porch and front yard is great. I bought an extra battery as we had to used the battery set up - no electric supply around our front door. Is excellent value for amount spent so far. Battery life seems fine - so far

I have several Eufy smart devices (door locks, cameras, doorbell). This MiniBase Chime is the only one that was unsatisfactory. Didn’t work. Failed to set up and connect. Bought two of them for my E340 doorbell, thinking that the first one was defective. Both presented the same problem and were returned. The set up on the Eufy app includes going through a temporary Eufy network. However, it kept saying invalid password the more than ten times that I inputted my network password. Then it began to say (unchanged) on the password input line. I am in Canada and my network has both 2G and 5G allowability. Contacted Eufy support. They are useless. Seem unfamiliar with their products, claiming that a password is not usually required. Did they think I just made that up? Google search indicates that other customers have encountered the same problem with this Chime.

Helpful note! It's not very clear on the other Eufy mini-chime description, but this is the one that is needed for the S330 and E340 Doorbells.As far as this product goes, it's setup fairly easily through the app and took me maybe 3 minutes to setup. I like the size because it's not overly intrusive. The volume is pretty good, but the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because there are a half dozen or so chime sounds that you can choose from, and none of them are a straight forward "ding-dong". Some are really long and convoluted, one sounds like a phone ringing (makes zero sense), and the one I ultimately choose is a "ding-dong" but it repeats 3 times. Because that's controlled through the doorbell setting on the Eufy App, I'm hoping that changes with a future firmware update. If it does, I'll update my review, but until then, 4 stars stands.

This "eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 Add-On Chime" works well if you research how to integrate it into the door camera system as a storage device - the reason I bought it. The chime works well as soon as you add the device to the Eufy app. Getting the Chimes SD Card to store images/videos is a totally different story.Eufy (Anker) gives you next to nothing to go on to utilize this device to store videos from the E340 doorbell camera. There are virtually no accurate and comprehensive instructions to guide you through the process of integrating this Add-On-Chime/ miniBase. Even calling Eufy when it did not store videos was of no value as the tech support reps said to return as it must be defective.I literally had to do extensive online searches just to get a starting point (incomplete) to make this device store images for the doorbell cam. After all of my search result, I was able to then go further into the app making various changes and finally got the device to function as it is supposed to.So, the Add-On-Chime was not defective at all, rather just not fully "turned on" in the Eufy app. So, after correctly tapping all of the correct items in deep/vague sub-menus the device works very well to store images on my 128GB SD Card.So, if you think it is defective because it does not store images from the doorbell cam, it may just be that it is not correctly implemented in the Eufy app. My Chime works great now and stores everything as it should and stores all the image data from the doorbell camera so that the doorbell cam has no video data stored on it.

Step 1 is to setup a Eufy account for which they need to send a confirmation email. They can't handle step 1. After over an hour and multiple resend requests and searching my entire email, all folders, no confirmation email was sent. Plus, their customer support is only available during normal 9-5 M-F hours, therefore I would have to take off of work to even deal with their incompetent email services. Not the company for me as this means anytime there is a problem (based on step1 I'm sure there would be) I'd have to take off of work to speak to them. No thank you.
