This wired video doorbell only works with existing cameras and doesn't even notify my phone. These products aren't worth it anymore

Hi there! We’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration with the Wyze Video Doorbell v2. We want to ensure you have the best experience possible and address the issues you're facing. Here are some steps and clarifications that might help: 1. Compatibility with Cameras The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 does not require existing cameras to function. It is a standalone device that provides 2K video, two-way audio, and motion detection. However, if you're trying to use a Wyze Cam as a chime, only the following models are compatible: Wyze Cam OG Wyze Cam OG Telephoto 3x Wyze Cam Pan v3
2. Notifications on Your Phone If you're not receiving notifications, here are some troubleshooting steps: Ensure Notifications Are Enabled: Open the Wyze app. Go to the Account tab > Notifications and ensure they are turned on for your doorbell. Check App Version: Make sure your Wyze app is up to date. You can verify this by navigating to the Account tab > About in the app. Compare your app version with the latest version listed on our Release Notes & Firmware page. If outdated, update the app via your device’s app store. Verify Motion Detection Settings: Ensure motion detection is enabled in the doorbell settings. Adjust the sensitivity if needed to capture activity effectively. 3. Additional Support If the above steps don’t resolve your concerns, we recommend visiting our support site for more detailed troubleshooting or reaching out to our customer support team for personalized assistance. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to improve your experience.
I have used Wyze cameras indoors for several years and recently added the Video Doorbell to my system. Installation was challenging, but ultimately successful. I do wish the angled mounting plate stood out a bit further from the wall to allow for more clearance for angled siding (the unit slides down into the mount, but the siding makes that a bit tricky). Now that it's installed, I love the notification when someone rings the doorbell, and ability to talk to them even when I'm away from home!
Packaging was fine. Instructions were good but not great. Provided screws to secure to house were inadequate. The 2 biggest complaints : 1- unsecure camera, anyone can walk up, push up and yank and its stolen. 2 - SD card slot is exposed which is easy to steal also. If it came with a housing that protected against theft of camera and SD card, I'd give it a higher rating. Ive had to now order one off Etsy. Yall should have thought about this in development and the fact it wasnt is shocking.
Good video quality, but software needs work. Lots of false notifications. Cars misidentified as packages or people. The camera needs a way to secure it with a security screw or such. Can just be pulled off.
This is the most difficult doorbell I've ever tried to install. Theres no directions for the type of setup i have at my home.
