How to Connect Eufy Doorbell to Smart TV

Imagine sitting on your couch, watching your favorite show, when your Eufy doorbell detects motion. Instead of grabbing your phone, you see the live feed pop up right on your smart TV. No more missing deliveries, unexpected visitors, or curious neighbors. Connecting your Eufy doorbell to your smart TV turns your living room into a command center for home security.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to link your Eufy doorbell to your smart TV—whether you’re using a Samsung, LG, Sony, or any other brand with casting or mirroring capabilities. We’ll cover everything from initial setup to advanced integrations, plus tips to keep your connection stable and your feed clear. By the end, you’ll be able to monitor your front door on the big screen with just a few taps.

Why Connect Your Eufy Doorbell to a Smart TV?

Most people check their doorbell feed on their phones. But let’s be honest—phones are small, easy to misplace, and often buried in pockets or bags. A smart TV offers a larger, more visible display that’s always in view. Whether you’re cooking, relaxing, or hosting guests, having your doorbell feed on the TV means you’ll never miss a visitor.

Plus, it’s great for families. Kids can see who’s at the door before answering, and elderly relatives can check visitors without needing to use a smartphone. It’s also perfect for monitoring deliveries, pet sitters, or package thieves. And if you have multiple Eufy cameras, you can even rotate feeds or display them side by side.

Another benefit? Peace of mind. Knowing you can instantly see who’s outside—even when you’re not near your phone—adds a layer of security and convenience that’s hard to beat.

What You’ll Need

Before we dive into the steps, make sure you have the following:

• A Eufy doorbell (wired or battery-powered) – Any model from the Eufy Security lineup, such as the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K, Doorbell Dual, or Doorbell Slim.
• A smart TV with casting or screen mirroring – Most modern smart TVs support Chromecast, AirPlay, or Miracast. Check your TV’s manual or settings to confirm.
• A smartphone or tablet – This is essential for setting up the Eufy app and initiating the connection.
• Stable Wi-Fi network – Both your doorbell and TV must be on the same network for seamless streaming.
• Eufy Security app installed – Available for free on iOS and Android.
• Optional: Streaming device – If your TV doesn’t support casting natively, a Chromecast, Fire Stick, or Roku can add that functionality.

Once you’ve confirmed you have everything, you’re ready to begin.

Step 1: Set Up Your Eufy Doorbell

If your Eufy doorbell isn’t already installed and connected, start here. Even if it is, double-check that it’s working properly before linking to your TV.

Install the Doorbell

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mount your doorbell. For wired models, turn off power at the breaker, remove your old doorbell, and connect the wires. For battery-powered models, simply mount the bracket and snap the doorbell into place.

Download and Open the Eufy App

Search for “Eufy Security” in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Download and install it. Open the app and create an account if you don’t already have one.

Add Your Doorbell to the App

Tap the “+” icon in the app and select “Add Device.” Choose “Doorbell” from the list. The app will guide you through pairing—usually by scanning a QR code on the doorbell or entering a setup code.

Connect to Wi-Fi

Make sure your doorbell connects to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (most Eufy doorbells don’t support 5GHz). Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted. Wait for the app to confirm a successful connection.

Test the Feed

Once connected, tap on your doorbell in the app and check the live view. Make sure the video is clear, audio works, and motion detection triggers alerts. If everything looks good, you’re ready for the next step.

Step 2: Prepare Your Smart TV

Now that your doorbell is online, it’s time to get your TV ready. The method you use depends on your TV’s capabilities.

Check TV Compatibility

Go to your TV’s settings menu and look for options like “Screen Mirroring,” “Smart View,” “AirPlay,” or “Cast Screen.” These features allow you to mirror content from your phone or tablet to the TV.

For example:

• Samsung TVs use “Smart View” or “Screen Mirroring.”
• LG TVs support “Screen Share” or “Miracast.”
• Sony TVs often have “Screen Mirroring” built-in.
• Vizio TVs may use “SmartCast” or require a Chromecast dongle.

If your TV doesn’t have these features, consider using an external streaming device like a Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick, or Roku. These plug into your HDMI port and add casting capabilities.

Connect Your Streaming Device (If Needed)

If you’re using a Chromecast or Fire Stick, plug it into an HDMI port on your TV. Follow the on-screen setup to connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Make sure it’s on the same network as your doorbell and phone.

Update TV Firmware

Go to your TV’s settings and check for system updates. Outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues. Install any available updates and restart the TV.

Step 3: Mirror Your Phone or Tablet to the TV

The easiest and most reliable way to view your Eufy doorbell on your smart TV is by mirroring your phone or tablet screen. This method works with almost all smart TVs and streaming devices.

Enable Screen Mirroring on Your TV

Turn on your TV and navigate to the screen mirroring or casting menu. On most TVs, you can find this under “Settings” > “Network” > “Screen Sharing” or a similar path. Leave this screen open—it will wait for your device to connect.

Start Mirroring from Your Phone

On your smartphone or tablet:

• For Android: Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the quick settings panel. Tap “Smart View,” “Cast,” or “Screen Mirroring.” Select your TV from the list.
• For iPhone/iPad: Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center. Tap the “Screen Mirroring” icon and choose your TV (must support AirPlay).

Your phone screen should now appear on the TV. You might see a slight delay, but that’s normal.

Open the Eufy App and View the Feed

With your phone mirrored, open the Eufy Security app. Tap on your doorbell to view the live feed. The video will now play on your TV screen. You can leave the app open and continue using your phone for other tasks—the feed will stay on the TV.

Tip: To reduce battery drain, plug your phone into a charger while mirroring.

Step 4: Use Chromecast or AirPlay for Direct Streaming

If your TV or streaming device supports Chromecast or AirPlay, you can stream the Eufy feed directly without mirroring your entire screen. This gives you more control and reduces clutter.

Cast from the Eufy App (If Supported)

Unfortunately, the Eufy app doesn’t natively support casting to Chromecast or AirPlay. But you can work around this by using screen mirroring (as described above) or third-party tools.

Use Google Home or Apple HomeKit (Advanced)

If you’ve integrated your Eufy doorbell with Google Home or Apple HomeKit, you can cast the feed directly:

• Google Home: Open the Google Home app, tap your doorbell camera, and select “Cast” to send the feed to a Chromecast-enabled TV.
• Apple HomeKit: Open the Home app, tap your doorbell, and use AirPlay to stream to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV.

Note: This requires setting up your Eufy doorbell in Google Home or Apple HomeKit first. Not all Eufy models support these integrations—check compatibility on the Eufy website.

Step 5: Automate with Smart Home Platforms

For a more advanced setup, consider using platforms like Home Assistant, IFTTT, or SmartThings. These tools let you automate alerts, display feeds on demand, and integrate with other smart devices.

Use IFTTT for Motion Alerts

IFTTT (If This Then That) can send a notification to your TV when motion is detected. For example, you can create an applet that turns on your TV and displays the doorbell feed when someone approaches.

Steps:

1. Download the IFTTT app and create an account.
2. Connect your Eufy account and your TV (if supported).
3. Create a new applet: “If Eufy detects motion, then turn on TV and show feed.”
4. Test the applet by triggering motion at your doorbell.

Note: TV integration depends on your model. Samsung and LG TVs often work best with IFTTT.

Set Up Home Assistant (For Tech-Savvy Users)

Home Assistant is a powerful open-source platform that supports Eufy cameras. Once configured, you can view your doorbell feed on a dashboard, which you can then mirror to your TV.

This method requires some technical know-how, including setting up a Raspberry Pi or server, installing Home Assistant, and configuring the Eufy integration. But it offers unmatched customization and automation.

Tips for a Smooth Connection

To keep your doorbell feed running smoothly on your TV, follow these best practices:

• Keep devices on the same Wi-Fi network: Your phone, doorbell, and TV must all connect to the same router.
• Use a strong Wi-Fi signal: Place your router centrally and avoid thick walls or interference from microwaves and cordless phones.
• Reduce bandwidth usage: Lower the video quality in the Eufy app if the feed lags. Go to Settings > Camera Settings > Video Quality.
• Restart devices regularly: Power cycle your doorbell, phone, and TV weekly to clear glitches.
• Update firmware: Check for updates in the Eufy app and on your TV’s system menu.
• Use a wired connection for your TV: If possible, connect your TV to the router via Ethernet for a more stable stream.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with the best setup, problems can happen. Here’s how to fix the most common ones:

No Video on TV

If your TV shows a black screen or “No Signal”:

• Check that screen mirroring is active on both your phone and TV.
• Ensure your phone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network.
• Restart your phone and TV.
• Try a different HDMI port or cable if using a streaming device.

Lag or Buffering

If the video stutters or delays:

• Move your router closer to the doorbell or use a Wi-Fi extender.
• Reduce the number of devices using the network.
• Lower the video resolution in the Eufy app.
• Switch from 5GHz to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (if your doorbell doesn’t support 5GHz).

Doorbell Not Connecting to App

If the Eufy app can’t find your doorbell:

• Make sure the doorbell is powered on (check battery or wiring).
• Reset the doorbell by holding the setup button for 5 seconds.
• Re-add the device in the Eufy app.
• Contact Eufy support if the issue persists.

AirPlay or Chromecast Not Working

If casting fails:

• Ensure your TV and streaming device support the protocol (AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in).
• Update the firmware on your streaming device.
• Disable VPNs or firewalls that might block the connection.
• Try reconnecting your phone to Wi-Fi.
