Video Doorbell for Apartments

Which eufy Video Doorbell Is Right for Your Apartment?

All of these install without drilling into your door and record without a subscription. What separates them is what you'll spend, how the camera attaches, and whether you need to buy storage separately.

Which eufy doorbell fits your budget?
A practical way to set your budget is to start with the features you need beyond clear 2K video. Within the current eufy range highlighted here, prices here range from about $60 to $120. Higher-priced models add conveniences such as a removable battery, optional wired power, wider doorstep coverage, and built-in storage.
The eufy Video Doorbell C30 starts at about $59.99 and covers the essentials with 2K video and battery power. Its battery is not removable, so the unit needs to come down when it is time to recharge. The eufy Video Doorbell C31, at about $84.99, adds a removable 6,500 mAh battery and optional wired power where the building and existing wiring allow it. The eufy Video Doorbell E340, at about $119.99, adds a second downward-facing camera for packages, a removable battery, and 8GB of built-in storage.
Choose the C30 for essential coverage at the lowest reference price, the C31 for more flexible charging and power options, or the E340 for broader doorstep coverage and storage included.

How Can You Mount a Doorbell Without Damaging Your Apartment Door?
Start by checking your lease and building rules. A "no-drill" installation does not always mean it will leave no mark. Adhesive mounts can affect paint or surface finishes when removed, while door-edge brackets avoid bonding to the surface but may depend on the door's thickness, clearance, and opening direction.
For the C30, C31, and E340, battery operation means you don't need to hardwire the doorbell, but the available no-drill mounting method still depends on the compatible accessory and your door. If avoiding surface damage is your priority, confirm the approved mounting option before choosing the model.

Do you need a memory card or a cloud plan?
Start by deciding whether you want local storage or cloud backup. A cloud plan may give you off-site backup and remote access, but it commonly comes with a recurring fee. Local storage avoids a required monthly plan, although the necessary storage hardware varies by model.
The models highlighted here can save recordings locally without requiring a cloud plan. The E340 includes 8GB of built-in storage, so you can record without buying a memory card. Its onboard capacity is fixed, however.
The C30 and the C31 use a MicroSD card of up to 128GB, which you need to purchase and install separately. Choose the E340 if you want storage ready out of the box. Choose the C30 or the C31 if you prefer to select your own storage capacity.
