    This is a great camera. It has a great display, the only reason I did not keep it was I needed a camera that could sit in the window and not only record in the day time but also record the outside during the night. This camera could not do it, I ended up buying the Wyze camera and it totally meets this need.

    Wonderful product, but slightly "buggy". Works about 90% of the time. Sometimes the delay is so bad that the recording only captures the object's departure from the camera view instead of the object approaching.

    Nice idea for a battery model. The instructions are not very clear on how to mount it to the outside stucco wall.

    Do not buy this doorbell. It just spend 4 hours on the changer and it's still not fully charged. Then I had to re-sync it to my WiFi and each time I had to put in the password. Then you have to use a pin to sync the doorbell to the system but the button only works sometimes (I was able to get it to work 3 times out of seven (meaning I had to input my password 7 times)) with repeated pushing the pin in. Neither of those three times could my doorbell be "found" (there were side by side on the table). So right now I have nothing. When the unit was working it took over two minutes to ring the chime I bought. The chine was plugged in less the two feet away from the doorbell. I never was able to check the speaker because by the time it registered on my phone the visitor was long gone. I know I should have brough a NEST.

    This doorbell was a neat upgrade to my home! I do know of other brands out there that may be better than this one, but I already have the Arlo camera setup & figured I may as well stick with the brand. App is a little wonky sometimes, but gets the job done.

    To be honest when I got this doorbell I was a little skeptical about it but the nurses and stuff and it was actually really easy call he is really good and every time someone comes up the door when I press the doorbell it records everything and it’s perfect so if I love you I love you too
