    Tried the wired one but it didn’t work. Tried the wire free and it works wonders. The only down fall is it doesn’t connect to our home base of our 4 arlo cameras. This one works on your existing wiring for your doorbell. And connects by WiFi. Works great can either interact with the person personally or I can use a pre programmed messages of my choice to tell them if I’m too busy. Two thumbs up on this purchase.

    It says it has color night vision...I don't see it. I don't believe it is any better than most. The basic service is just $5 a month so that is why I kept it. Battery seems to be good.
