Door bell video is good and clear. Also, response time to view video is good via Wyze app. Haven’t subscribed to any cloud services so I’m using the built in local storage card slot option to record events which is enough for me. Easy to install doorbell. However, haven’t gotten the chime box to work with my existing doorbell chime box. So right now, it sends notification dings to my iphone whenever someone is at the door. I will try to follow instructions again on wiring the Wyze chime box but I’m sure I did it correctly the first time. Now I’m thinking of getting they Wyze lock so that I can pair it with doorbell and be able to open lock for family and friends remotely.
Good video, easy setup, & I love the usage of an SD card. I don't like the change to only giving still images with a subscription. I think it was bad to not include a wireless chime like they did with the V1. I don't have a wired doorbell so I rely on the Alexa devices. If someone rings the doorbell twice within 5 minutes, it won't work because it's within the "cool down" period.
I found that we have a wireless chime system so this doesn't work very well when the doorbell is pressed. As a side note, I have it set to the siren of a camera which doesn't work well because it last 30 seconds. I'm hoping that there is some type of attachment that comes later with it. As for the camera, love it. Also, I like the micro SD slot.
Exactly the doorbell I was looking for, but with a few detractions. Most of the issues I have are with the app. I bought this doorbell because I wanted local only recording, which it does quite nicely. However,
1. Even though I only want to look at video on the sd card, it seems like every other button exists to sell me on the cam+ service. It is unnecessarily difficult to watch the playback of an event from the sd card. Half the time I still hit the buttons that serve no purpose but to sell me the service. SD card play back should just be default when I click on the notification.
2. Shared accounts cannot see sd card playback, which makes no sense to me. What is the point of sharing my doorbell if my partner can’t see the full features? It tempts me to just give her my account info, which is bad opsec.
3. SD card slot is a little obvious.
Good things:
1. Install was fairly simple. 2. Works well otherwise, most of my issues are app related. 3. I wish there was a way to dump recordings to a NAS, but local storage is such a plus that it makes it better than other doorbell options.
