Quick verdict
The dual-camera design is clever - the downward lens catches packages that other doorbells miss entirely. Local storage (8GB built into the wired model) is a plus. But eufy's 2022 privacy controversy means you should take their local-only claims with a grain of salt. And there is no RTSP on this doorbell, so you cannot pull the stream into Frigate or a NAS.
Standout: Dual cameras with a downward-facing lens specifically designed to detect packages at your doorstep.

Why it stands out
dual cameras provide front-facing and downward package-detection views simultaneously
8GB of local storage built into the wired doorbell - no HomeBase and no mandatory cloud subscription
good Google and Alexa voice assistant support
Reasons to hesitate
no RTSP: eufy support states the Video Doorbell Dual (Wired) does not support it, and eufy's RTSP/NAS support is on its cameras rather than its doorbells
eufy's past privacy controversy erodes trust in their local-only claims
the battery version needs a HomeBase; the wired version records to its own 8GB storage
Best for
users who want package detection with the downward-facing camera
households wanting local storage without a cloud subscription
Avoid if
you are deeply privacy-conscious - eufy's track record is mixed
you want an RTSP stream to pull into Frigate or record to a NAS
Privacy and local-control notes
eufy stores footage locally on the HomeBase hub. However, eufy faced controversy in 2022 over unencrypted cloud thumbnail uploads despite marketing as local-only. Eufy does not expose RTSP on this doorbell, so footage stays inside the HomeBase and the eufy app.
The best PoE cameras for Home Assistant: local RTSP/ONVIF picks from Reolink and Amcrest, UniFi Protect for pro setups, and when Wi-Fi is the better call.
