The Eufy 2k Doorbell is the Best Subscription-Free Doorbell on the Market

The Eufy 2k Video Doorbell is the latest addition to the Eufy Security family. Featuring a wireless battery-operated system that lasts up to 180 days on a single charge, this doorbell features a stunning 2k imaging sensor and professional lens with distortion correction resulting in a rich picture every time while in use even at dark hours with its auto night vision feature. With a dual-purpose mix between a security camera and doorbell featuring a sleek, compact fingerprint-proof design, this revolutionary doorbell can operate 24/7 no matter the weather conditions, from -4 degrees to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

While other competitor companies charge a hefty subscription fee on top of the purchase of the doorbell, Eufy's features are all included in a one-time purchase.

Included in the box is the doorbell itself, a home base, power adapters, and materials to mount the doorbell to any surface from brick to stucco. Setting and mounting the device is straightforward and takes no more than 20 minutes. Simply line up the included screw hole positioning card and drill two holes using a power drill, then insert the mounting bracket and screw the holes in. With the included detaching pin, the doorbell is effortless to take on and off when needing to charge.

The home base plugs into the router for first-time set-up and then can later be used via wifi. While the home base is plugged in, it will alert everyone in the proximity of the device to notify them that someone is ringing the doorbell through an extensive list of tones of your choosing. The home base also serves as a storage center using military-grade data encryption to store all footage for only you to see.

From the moment someone rings the doorbell or detects something around in its area or its custom activity zone, it will immediately begin recording, and will send an instant notification to all of your connected devices. You can view all of the recordings as well as real-time footage anywhere in the world on the Eufy Security app and through Apple Homekit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Featuring top-class AI human detection the device will capture facial snapshot notifications so that you can quickly check who is at the door immediately. While the footage is shortly delayed, you can speak to anyone who approaches the door via its two-way audio system. You can even create up to three custom generated responses that will play through its speakers at the push of a button.

I tested out the quality of the doorbell and was astonished by its performance. Its 2k imaging system created a vibrant, eye-catching picture that allowed me to see my entire property and beyond with its wide dynamic range. The night vision picture is just as clear as it is during the day. The two-way audio works well, but the audio was somewhat difficult to hear when cars were passing by even when the volume was turned up to its full capacity. I was relieved knowing that my home could be secure and I could interact with people approaching the door without ever having to open it.

With an affordable price of less than two-hundred dollars, an advanced 2k imaging system, and an unbelievable battery life, the Eufy 2k doorbell is hands-down the best video doorbell on the market today. 9.7/10

Eufy's 2k Doorbell is available for purchase on Eufy's website and Amazon.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
