I love that there are two options to installing this doorbell. If you already have a wired doorbell installed, you can remove your current one and use the wires to install this. I feel that it might be more secure. But you can also install it wirelessly as it comes with a rechargeable battery. I feel this gives more possibilities of where it can be used instead of having to use it at the front door. Installing it was pretty easy with simple to follow directions. I love that there’s a tiny screw at the bottom of the doorbell to help protect it from someone trying to take apart the doorbell.
I decided to use it wirelessly at the side door since there’s no doorbell there at all. It’s not a door that visitors use often but since we don’t have any cameras facing this side of the house, I thought it would be a good option to put the doorbell camera there. This comes with a small chime box that you can install on a wall but right now, we are still using it on the counter, that seems to be the best place for it so that we can hear it on all 3 floors clearly. I didn’t install but just placed it on the corner of the counter, this way if I do find a better place for it, I can just pick it up to move it. The little chime box comes with choices of different chimes which is helpful so I can set a totally different doorbell sound to differentiate it from our other doorbell. It operates with AA batteries that will need to be replaced, I haven’t needed to replace it yet so not sure how long it will last.
It’s my first time using a Swann security product and this doesn’t disappoint. It works like you would expect a camera doorbell to work but even better. The night vision is great and clear. The view of people is also great and you can see the full body very clearly and all around the body. I love that it not only senses motion but it also detects heat! Which is an amazing. Camera picks it up right away, I am amazed at how accurate it is. Another plus is it that this stores recording for free and comes with a micro sd card. I’m so glad I got this because I see so far onto that side of the house and all around it. I’m curious to see how long the doorbell battery lasts until I have to remove the doorbell to recharge it. My hope is that it will last at least one month before needing a charge. Definitely happy with this and would recommend. My friend was so pleased with how it looked, how well the app worked and not paying for recorded storage that she just ordered one and can’t wait to receive it.
I would recommend this to a friend
