The Video Doorbell E340 is a versatile device designed to provide flexibility in its operation. Here, we explain the two ways it can function:

Works Independently: The Video Doorbell E340 can operate independently once it's connected to your home wireless router. You have multiple options to receive notifications and hear the doorbell ring. These include using a traditional doorbell chime (if available), a separately sold eufy Security doorbell chime, or an Amazon Alexa Echo Show device.

Works with eufy Security HomeBase (Optional): The Video Doorbell E340 is also compatible with the eufy Security HomeBase 2 or S380 HomeBase (sold separately). In this mode, the video doorbell detects motion at your porch and allows you to answer the door from anywhere. Video clips can be stored in the built-in storage of your eufy Security HomeBase. When someone rings the doorbell, people in the house will be notified.

In conclusion, while the Video Doorbell E340 can work with a HomeBase, it is not a requirement for its operation. The device can function independently, providing users with flexibility and convenience.
