    The doorbell works very well. The quality of picture is really good. The angle of the camera is wide enough to clearly see the whole range. Plus the aesthetic factor is a very positive moment.

    Easy to install and the video and sound is clear. App is very user friendly. The only reason I rated it a 4 is that the battery life seems short. It has lasted for one month. I was advised to get two batteries in order to swap them out but I did not want to invest in another battery.

    This unit has good quality video, but i have to charge too often. Have an Arlo camera set from a few years ago and they still only need to be charged every 8 months or so. This thing last maybe 6 weeks. Inreplaced a ring with this and i may go back.

    Works great! I did not take into account the setback of the door on the porch, so have a little bit of a “tunnel view” coming up to the door. The setback limits the view of the porch area. I could correct that with a separate camera on the porch, but the doorbell camera still captures the walkway up the driveway to the door clearly.
