It works well but the chime doesn't work. So sent it back, I tried to get Alexa to notify me when someone is at the door and that works maybe 2 out of 10 times. So it's basically just a camera for me.
Picture isnt any better than the V1 doorbell. Actually bought this one because it was supposed to integrate with google home. It doesnt. I come to find out google did something to their system and wyze wont display video. All the work arounds i found didnt work. Cameras that used to work, dont now. My garage door control works, but i cant see my garage cam. Little disgusted.
Great Videa and field of view. But I found that whoever designed the wiring connections at the back of the camera did not consider if there is no space between the back plate and the wall ( in my case ist a concrete wall). The wiring connections and connector prevents easy installation and I have to grind the wall to make room for the wiring. 5 minutes install turned into 30 minutes with lots of cleaning up to do.
Had two video doorbells that came out before Wyze delivered their first doorbell. For years they met my needs until the Wyze Doorbell V2 came out. With the best competitive pricing, additional features and full integration into my Wyze ecosystem, I bit the bullet and replaced both of my existing doorbell cameras. After having them installed for three weeks, I'm thrilled that I switched to the Wyze Doorbell V2's. The features that set it apart from the competition and the previous models are: 1. VoIP calls to phones that have the Wyze account installed, which brings up the video and audio. Ensuring that you get to see and talk to the person that pressed the doorbell before they leave. 2. SD Card continuous recording and event recordings to the cloud. 3. Integration with Cam Plus and Friendly Faces Functionality for filtering unwanted alerts and notification of friends and children on alerts/notifications. 4. Integration with Wyze rules and the capabilities that are available on other Wyze cameras. Allowing notifications to be temporarily turned off by command or schedule, to minimize annoying my spouse when I'm on the porch or late at night. 5. Display of both doorbells in a split screen on the Amazon Alexa Show with one command in seconds. Are there additional improvements which I would like to see, of course, but the Wyze Video Doorbell is definitely worth switching from other brands and implementing into a Home Automation ecosystem. If you haven't purchased a Video Doorbell, now is the time to do it. You'll wonder how your household managed to live without one.
P.S. I have an outer door with a doorbell and an atrium that has an inner door with a doorbell too. We leave the outer door open for package deliveries. So we never know which doorbell a person will utilize, but now we have both of them set up with similar configurations. Since one is called "Front Doorbell" and the other "Atrium Doorbell" each has a different sound with their integration with Alexa, the doorbell name is announced, we know which is being pressed.
I really wanted an “affordable “wired video doorbell that supports a SD card with the option for multiple electronic chimes. I decided to give this a try as it was not very expensive. I received and inspected the Wyze video doorbell V2 and while it is “cute” I was not impressed with the mounting plate. I thought the plate is too flimsy and the attachment hooks are not secure. I am also not thrilled with the fact that the SD card is mounted to the side of the unit.
I am using a Wyze Cam V3 to cover the front door area especially for packages. I really wanted the benefits of a video doorbell and came very close to buying a ring but didn’t want the subscription option. So I decided to try this out. It was installed and working with the help of Wyze support as I did not need the controller with my mechanical chime. Note-you must select your chime type after installing the WVDB V2 or it won’t work.
I have two separate WiFi networks and this is installed one wall away from both of them (within 15’) so I can choose either one to connect to. I tried both and the doorbell worked fine initially but keeps going offline. It even disconnected and seems to have reset itself back to factory and I had to remove it from the app and reinstalled.
Last night it went offline again. I reset the doorbell and wifi router and while it showed offline in the app, I was still able to access it live.
One of the most annoying things is that when I first installed it, it captured everything just like the wyze cam v3 but that has also stopped working. I think this doorbell needs to go back on the drawing board.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello! If your Wyze Video Doorbell is displaying as Offline but the Live Stream is still working we would recommend power cycling the doorbell. To power cycle your Wyze Wired Doorbell, flip the breaker, power the Doorbell to its “Off” position, wait 10 full seconds, then flip the breaker switch back to the “On” position.
