The Verdict
Our Bottom Line
The eufy E340 solves the two problems that trip up almost every other doorbell: seeing packages on the ground and getting nickel-and-dimed by monthly fees. Instead of stretching one fisheye lens to cover a face and a doorstep, the E340 uses a dedicated second camera pointed straight down at the porch. In landpet's six-way comparison it caught a package flat against the wall with none of the warped distortion its rivals produced, and Gadget Evolution called the dual-lens approach a game changer that erases doorstep blind spots.

TP-Link Tapo D225
The TP-Link Tapo D225 delivers most of a premium doorbell for about 80 dollars, which is why landpet crowned this budget model the overall winner of his six-way test over cameras that cost far more. The draw is the lens: a 160 to 180 degree view that captures a full head-to-toe frame and a huge horizontal sweep of the porch, in sharp 2K.
