    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Incredibly easy to install to my pre-existing doorbell wiring. Instructions for installation and how to use properly were also very easy to understand. The product itself is sturdy, has a strong battery life, and ultra-clear video and audio quality. Sleek product design also makes it look better on our property than other competing products.
