Got it installed after some challenges with the wiring as the house had old wiring that did not match the walk thru tutorial but got it connected and the Chime turned on in the app and it works well. Good quality and can see what is needed.
Doorbell doesn't stay connected to WiFi. It is less than 15 feet from my router. I have a 500 megabit internet plan. I have a brand new 16v20va transformer. I am on the current firmware. It will stay connected for a few hours then start blinking orange then randomly connect again. I am using a SD card and it does record events even when the doorbell drops off wifi. Spec wise this is a great product but whatever technology they are using for WiFi needs to be improved. It appears older firmware had these issues and most people are fixed by the current firmware but it does not seem to fix my problems. I really wanted to like this. I give 2 stars because when it did work it was perfect. Setup and Joining to my account was easy. I don't have power issues with Nest or Unifi on this transformer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wyze Doorbell v2 works well but I’m disappointed with the fact you can use only mecanical chime with it, this is a big downside compared to my previous Wyze doorbell v1
Not user friendly or intuitive at all. Functionality is terrible. Market has better products out there.

Great concept and works well, but the battery drains very quickly (a few days) and takes a loooonnnnngggg time to charge. Plus, I was surprised to learn it doesn't continuously record on battery. Despite these small issues, it's still a good product. I'd rate it 5/5 if it either came with a second battery or let me record nonstop. (Also, maybe let us disable the bottom camera in a software update to preserve battery power longer?)
