The good: Very clear pictures. Internal SD card with 256mg of recording without having to pay for subscription. Use of existing door chime. Quick notifications and mapping to block areas of detection. Here are somethings that could be improved: Installation was easy enough after washing video but a few things could be improved. I had to fabric a mounting plate because my original door bell was mounted on a standard single gang mud ring electrical box. This is common on most newer homes. The V2 door bell was narrower than the opening. Another improvement, as many other reviews suggested, is that there isn’t any screws securing it to its mounting. Anyone can just take it off the wall. Also the SD slot is exposed and also can be accessed and stolen. I replaced a ring doorbell with the V2. The Wyze has a better picture and I don’t have to pay for a subscription to view videos. I liked that the ring had a distinctive sound which differentiated it from my other cameras. I would be a nice feature for Wyze to allow a different sound notification for its doorbell and cameras.
Great doorbell cam. Purchased a slanted mount on Etsy so it would be plumb with the house (siding sits at an angle). Picture and field of vision is very good. On the down side it thinks birds chirping and cars going by are breaking glass, so I had to deselect that detection setting. I came from a Nest Doorbell and the only thing I miss is the ability to "rewind" the recording to find specific images, Wyze unit only lets you scroll back through events. For the price, that's acceptable.
Hate it! We loved the cameras but the doorbells are awful. Either I get a notification every 30secs because of a bug or shadow or I get no notifications at all. Picture quality is great but I can’t get the sensitivity set to meet my needs!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Please add a separate notification setting for when the door bell is pressed. It should ring differently from other notifications so that someone can respond immediately. Maybe ring continuesly like a phone call.
