eufy S330 Doorbell Delivers Dual Cameras and Local Storage Without Subscriptions

During a busy remodel, the battery-powered eufy S330 impressed with a quick setup, a 2K front camera plus a 1080p package camera, and HomeBase 2 local storage that eliminates ongoing subscription fees. It offers AI motion detection, facial recognition for known visitors, and a delivery-guard feature, plus Alexa/Google Assistant support. Drawbacks include a small lag in live view and two-way audio, shorter battery life in high-traffic homes, and no Apple HomeKit support. Priced at $259.99, it’s a strong, subscription-free option for homes with frequent deliveries, though cheaper E340 and Ring alternatives exist.

"Security Alert: Popular $30 Video Doorbells Sold by Amazon and Walmart Vulnerable to Spying and Hijacking"

Consumer Reports found that $30 video doorbells sold under various brands on popular marketplaces have serious security issues, including lack of encryption that exposes users' home IP addresses and WiFi network names. These doorbells, linked to a user's phone via the Aiwit app, can be easily hijacked by creating an account and pressing the button to put it into pairing mode. Even if the original owner regains control, the hijacker can still access time-stamped images. The devices pose a threat to safety and privacy, potentially endangering individuals with stalkers or dangerous exes. Consumer Reports has notified online marketplaces, but some have not responded.

Holiday Season Alert: Protect Your Packages from Porch Pirates

With the rise of online shopping during the holiday season, the threat of porch pirates stealing packages from doorsteps is increasing. To protect your deliveries, consider using a video doorbell to deter thieves and capture their faces. Choose a delivery date when someone will be home, sign up for delivery notifications, and talk to your delivery drivers to ensure safe placement of packages. Utilize Amazon Lockers or install a locking delivery box or smart mailbox for added security. Another option is Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery, which allows packages to be securely placed inside your garage. Stay informed about nearby package theft reports and consider requesting a signature confirmation for deliveries. By implementing these strategies, you can keep your packages safe and enjoy a worry-free holiday season.
