Good, with a setup caveat
Pairing wants the router SSID visible; the app flow took one retry. It has been flawless since.

Replaced a rented unit
Footage stays local, which is the whole point. Our installer was impressed with the cable-gland options.

Does the job, looks the part
Fits a standard doorbell plate and the chime tone is decent. I would have liked a wall-mount option.
Questions about this product
Still unsure? Ask usDoes the doorbell need a subscription?
No. Video stays on the local recorder or SD card first; the cloud option is optional.
Will it fit a standard doorbell plate?
The V2 fits standard doorbell wiring. The dual-cam model needs a wider bracket, which is included in the box.
How loud is the indoor chime?
The chime is adjustable across three levels. The default is loud enough for a full house without being shrill.
What happens to footage when the battery dies?
On battery models the final session is buffered to the card before the battery drops; on wired models power is continuous.
