- Hi, I'm agent Benson.
And today I'll be showing you how to set up a eufy doorbell.
Here's what you'll need: a smartphone or tablet
with the eufy security app installed
and name and password to your wireless network.
I'll be using a Samsung Galaxy S20 with 5G.
So, the steps might be a little different
depending on your device.
All right, let's get started.
Go ahead and open the eufy security app
to begin the setup process.
Review the license agreement,
and if you agree, click Accept.
Log into your eufy account or tap Sign Up
to create an account.
We recommend setting up two-form authentication
and a strong password for the best security.
If you want to allow the app to access your photos
and other files, tap Allow.
Since I want to save images, I will select Allow.
Now tap Add Device.
We're using the wired doorbell
so we'll select that option.
Tap Okay and then tap Allow to let eufy use the camera
on your device.
On the back of the insert, there's a QR code.
You can either scan it or type it in manually.
Select your region.
I'm going to choose North America and then tap Next.
You'll be brought to the installation instructions.
Follow the onscreen instructions to get it set up.
eufy requires 16 to 24 volts power.
The app will test your voltage
to make sure you meet the minimum requirements.
Tap Start now to begin the test.
Now, hold the doorbell button down for five seconds
until you hear a ringtone.
(bell rings)
When you do, press I've Heard the Ringtone to continue.
A pop-up will come up, asking to allow access
to the device's location.
I'm going to choose Allow all the time.
Next, you'll get a message to turn on Bluetooth.
Once you've turned it on, if it isn't already on,
tap I've Turned on Bluetooth.
Next, the app will connect to the doorbell.
If you did it correctly, you'll get a message saying
that your transformer is capable of powering the doorbell.
If you get a different message,
we recommend contacting a professional for help
with the installation process.
Since my voltage is fine,
I'll tap Next to continue the setup process.
Now it's time to connect the doorbell to wifi.
Select the network you'd like to join
and enter your password.
Press Connect to continue.
Now it's time to set up the included chime.
Plug your chime in
and wait until you see a solid blue light.
It shouldn't take longer than a few seconds.
Once you see the light, tap Chime Lights Up to continue.
Now press and hold the Sync button on your chime
for two seconds
you should see the lights start to flash blue, and hear-
(bell rings)
If you hear this, it's ready to pair with the doorbell.
Tap Connect in the app.
The last thing we need to do is press the Doorbell button
to make sure the chime paired up correctly.
(bell rings)
Tap Done and you're all good to go.
If you want to invite family and friends
to access the doorbell, tap Invite
and follow the instructions.
I'm going to tap Skip, but hold on,
there are still some cool features that I wanna show you.
With 32 gigabytes of built-in storage,
you can set up continuous recording
without having a subscription.
To do this, open your eufy security app
and tap on the gear icon in the top right
of the doorbell preview window,
then tap on Continuous Recording
and hit the slider to enable it.
You can also select if you want to record all the time,
or if you want to make your own recording schedule.
To watch recorded footage in the app,
simply tap on the Events tab and filter by date,
device, or video type.
You can manage all your recordings here as well.
Another cool feature is face snapshot notifications
which sends you a picture
of the person in front of your doorbell.
This feature is turned on by default.
You can also answer your door
using eufy's prerecorded quick response.
When you get a notification that someone is at your door,
tap the notification to bring up the live view,
then tap Quick Reply
and choose from one of the pre-recorded replies.
If you want to record your own reply,
you can set that up in the app.
Here's how you do that.
Tap the gear icon, scroll down and tap on Quick Response.
Tap Add Quick Response,
pick a title for your response, and then hit continue.
To allow eufy access to your microphone, tap Allow,
press, and hold the red button to start your recording
and let go to stop it.
Your recording has to be at least three seconds
but no longer than 10.
Once you're done recording,
you can press the Play button to preview it,
press Reset to start over or tap Save to keep it.
Your new response will now be added
to your quick response list.
And there you go.
