The product every home is missing

on May 27, 2015

Posted by: Clay

I've had this product installed for 2 days now and I absolutely love it. Regardless of where I am at, I can see and interact with anyone standing at my door. The best part? They have no idea if I am home or not. This allows me to skip solicitors or run to the door if my pizza has arrived. The cloud recording through the motion sensor is great as well. Even if someone doesn't ring your doorbell, you'll get a recording of them that you can view later if you sign up for the cloud recording service. This doorbell can completely replace your existing doorbell setup, allowing you to power it through your home's electricity and have the unit ring your home chime as well as send a notification to your phone. You definitely want to hardwire this item if you have that capability.

The only negative regarding the device is the installation. My home is completely brick around the front door. The drill bit that they include is too large for the anchors and screws they provide. If you use it, you'll have bored out giant holes that you can't use for the install. I'm not really sure how this made it out into production. It is a pretty huge mistake in my opinion. Luckily, I was able to find some anchors that are a bit larger than those provided and still worked with the included screws. It was, however, a highly frustrating installation. If you have a wood exterior that you can install this on, it will be a breeze for you. If you have brick, be careful using the provided equipment and you may want to seek out a professional to help get the mounting holes drilled.

Aside from that, the product is great. Getting it hooked up to my wifi was extremely easy. Alerts appear instantly and I've not experienced any lag with the product. Motion sensing could be a little faster, but I am still playing with the settings on that and I am sure future software updates can resolve that. I highly recommend this product for anyone that has security concerns where they live and would enjoy having the ability to keep tabs on their front door.

I would recommend this to a friend!
