Smart Doorbells

Latest review: I COULDN'T USE THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE I DIDN'T PURCHASE THE VTECH PHONE TO GO WITH THIS PRODUCT.

Latest review: Video and picture quality seem decent. For whatever reason the live stream doesn't always show and the camera doesn't detect motion, even on its highest setting. I also wish they made a 360 version like their indoor camera. it's not bad for what it is but it can use some improvements. Also, getting it to auto record every motion would be nice.

Latest review: I purchased this as an addition to an existing Arlo system for my parents. This is a must have for anyone concerned about the safety of your home or business. It has been helpful for keeping tabs on our business and also allows for monitoring of activity remotely. If you need a video doorbell, this is it.

Latest review: I LOVE THIS DEVICE, ITS COMPATIBLE TO ALEXA I CAN USE IT ANYWHERE BY USING THE APP ON MY PHONE

Latest review: The doorbell can't connect directly to the base station like the other items so it needs to connect directly to the internet itself - and if it loses the connection to wifi - either by itself or if the electricity goes out or your ISP service goes out then you have to manually reset to get it to connect to the internet again and to do this you have to use a tiny screw driver to remove it from the installed base - after less than a month with power outages and small flickers and the ISP service being down I've stripped the small screw on the doorbell so now it is just a dumb door bell with no camera. Very poorly designed. My recommendation is not to buy.

Latest review: I did lots of research and chose this doorbell based on two factors:1) PIR motion sensing that this device claims to use to eliminate false motion sensing and2) alerts on my phone when the button is pressed to notify me that someone is on the porch and being able to talk with them 2-way.I can tell you that after wasting nearly two months of my time that neither of these function properly nor can anyone you speak with at EZVIZ help you with these problems. They make claims that the device can't support nor can they seem to address them once you bring this to their attention.The first one ends up creating endless motion alerts based on people walking by or cars driving past. It claims to use a "PIR sensor" to sense heat signatures which it can then use to send notifications for humans only on the porch. This is false. I even lowered the "customizable detection area" to the lowest setting which is only 5' away from the doorbell and cars and people 50' away still triggered it. This caused dozens upon dozens of false alert notifications and clips to be created and saved. Customer service for EZVIZ is of zero help with this problem and kept telling me that it needed to be factory reset and updated even though I had done this already and had the newest possible firmware update each and every time I contacted them. I think it's safe to say that their PIR sensor simply doesn't do what it claims to do.So, being able to use the device to warn me when there is motion on the front porch only is completely useless. Strike one.Up next is the feature that causes your phone to "ring" with an incoming video call whenever someone manually rings the doorbell by physically pushing the button. This works great if I open the app, input the security credentials and for the next few minutes thereafter. Beyond that though... forget about it. Not even that there's a delay of several seconds or even minutes before you receive the "call" on your smartphone (which would be annoying enough) but you simply receive.... nothing. I mean nothing at all. Not only is there no call to decline or accept allowing you to interact 2-ways with the person on your porch but there isn't even any sort of log you can check at a later date manually to see if anyone was there.I was told multiple times it was my device which was the newest Google Pixel with the latest pure version of Android. No bloat, no skins... nothing. This is the purest Android experience possible and ALL settings within the app were given 100% freedom of battery and data to rule out any sort of OS problem putting the app to sleep. In each case I was told that this had to be the problem and no solutions were offered. This persisted not only through an update from Android 9 to Android but even persisted through new Samsung devices. That's right, we got two brand new Samsung flagship phones during the ownership of this doorbell and the exact. Same. Problem. Persisted.EZVIZ still won't accept that their device doesn't meet it's claims but you will read negative reviews of even iPhone users with the same general problems. What's left? Did the developers design this to run on some 10-year-old Blackberry OS or something?So while the first problem is annoying enough at least the doorbell could still function as just a doorbell (we have other security cams on the front capturing motion and what not) if we disabled the motion alerts, right? Wrong! Strike two.In my case there is no strike three other than maybe the poor customer support that tries to pretend this device works flawlessly for every other customer and you must have got a never-before-seen defective unit. BS. Read the negative reviews here and you'll find several people mention the same experiences. For every negative review assume there's hundreds, possibly thousands, who didn't both to take the time to type up the same negative review and just returned the item.I don't review much but felt aggravated enough with this product and this company to take the time to try to warn others of how worthless this product is. As constituted it's utterly worthless and maybe they can sort it out down the road once they accept that they have a problem which they don't seem ready to accept as of the time of typing this review. Not really sure how they intend to fix a problem they don't even admit they have.There's lots of good products in this space (many of which look identical with more mature software that can handle basics like 2-way calls) and I'm not affiliated with any of them so I won't mention them here. Just know that you found this review searching for the best option and... this ain't it. Keep looking for a solution because this one solves none of the problems you have unless you have about a hundred bucks too much in your account and want something on the front of your house to make people think they've rang a doorbell and possibly been recorded. If that's the case, then this is the device for you! /sarcasm

Latest review: Anyone who likes to feel secure should get a Ring doorbell for their home.

Latest review: We live on a busy street. The road is over 60’ from our doorbell. I love the second camera on our stoop but, the top camera picked up every car. After contacting Maximus, we realized you can not change the sensitivity without a subscription! Boxed it up, sent it back and bought a ring. Much better image. I miss the stoop camera. Hopefully they will redo there software to allow change in sensitivity without having to pay 9.99 a month.

Latest review: Bought 1st one new. Had a weak signal. Support said my RSS was weak but Net Gear said the Remobell radio was bad. Paid postage to return and got a Refurbished one in exchange. 2nd one (refurbished) could not connect to network. Tried 6 times including factory reset, but no luck. Support asked for screen shot of messages. More hoops to come I guess.

Latest review: I brought this for my son for his birthday and he loves it and the price was good.

Latest review: Worked great except when it gets cold. It looses WiFi connection every time the temp goes below zero. Also when it looses connection it blares so the whole neighborhood knows that it’s not connected.

Latest review: We’ve had Simplisafe security system for years. ( unmonitored ) Since the SS camera came out and finally offered a $5 month recording option without home monitoring, we got it. Very simple to install and love that it’s not as wide as most. GREAT picture (worth 1 star) and more narrow than some of the others (star #2) and there is no “cool down period” like COMPETITORS have (star #3) so you can get motion detections one right after the other....BUT that’s also part of the problem. There are no zones to set and the recording screen is pretty basic (pic attached) and even on LOW it records EVERY bus, delivery & garbage truck and large SUV’s (alert after alert even set on LOW) but NOT people (set on HIGH) - I’ve had 7 deliveries since the camera was installed and only 1 was recorded. ONE. How is that possible? Have no idea who or when others got delivered - as there were NO alerts or recordings. Oddly no motion alerts by their truck at the time of those deliveries I am thinking it’s the slower vehicles not getting detected - but that still baffles me. So now I am amused at their marketing about “advanced heat sensors for people” thinking my delivery people must actually be cold zombies! ...I digress..... As others have reported, tech support has you go through the (uninstall, reinstall etc.) and sent a new one. Same issues with replacement. Since it’s a beautiful picture, and sound/doorbell alert works.... I can only attribute it to poor software design or bad hardware. Debating returning it completely, but since it’s already installed, we may just keep it for the occasional convenience of seeing someone that actually RINGS THE BELL, and then cancel the monthly recording option since I don’t care to spend $ to watch 30 recordings a day to watch the school bus and trucks drive by each day.

Latest review: Very easy to install! Only problem...No One Stocks Them! Have to be ordered!

Latest review: First one lasted about a month then all a sudden wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi. Did every possible reset/fix. Fortunately I had a longer return window Becuz of Xmas. Otherwise would of been screwed. Hopefully no issues with this one. At 1month exactly at time of writing this sooo we shall see. I think motion detection is really good and detection zones are Very customizable. I only have the Arlo 720p cameras as a comparison to this

Latest review: I have been using the Skybell for almost one month and I doubt I would ever be without one again. Installation is simple, all the tools you need are enclosed including a masonry bit. I have a very close fit on a trim molding which I needed to fudge it over even further and it still installed easily. The fisheye lense was able to catch my entire front, even though the brick wall is fairly close. I read some reviews stating the motion sensor was not reliable. I had that experience also when I first got it up and running. I suggest calling customer service and they will push an update through WIFI they told me it would take hold in 24 hours and it sure did! Also check the level of sensitivity in the app. Now it captures everything, including the trash trucks on the street and wind moving the trees. It gets me every single time coming in or out. The LED light is nice, I like to match it to whatever HUE lights I have on indoors. The finish on the Skybell is perfect (brushed aluminum) you cannot tell that this is not metal. I wouldn't want it metal either. The App is simple, you can turn the motion sensor off, you can silence the doorbell inside. I can easily see who is at the door and take a picture, all the things you would expect it to do. What I didn't expect is how clear the night vision is. Motion sensors recorded an amazing thunderstorm that lwent all night, it was pretty cool and exceedingly clear. I really appreciated that Customer Service is always available, you may have to wait on the phone a bit, but you get to speak to a *real* human instead of filling out an email ticket and wait days or even weeks for a reply. Also, there is no monthly fee and a week's worth of video is long enough. I have way to many subscription fees so this is another reason I went with Skybell. Its very easy to download any video or whatever you want right away. I'm also happy that it will work in sub-zero temperatures as it doesn't rely on a battery, important because I live in Minnesota. The unit would be incredibly hard to steal the way it is mounted, but they also replace a stolen unit. Please go through the app thoroughly, get an update by calling Customer Service through WIFI if necessary. I feel this is definitely worth the price given the access to Customer Service, warranty, no subscription fees, easy installation, easy APP and very clear video. If it matters, these are made either in the USA or Mexico depending on the batch. I would buy this again.

Latest review: Awesome doorbell if you have the transformer and door chime already connected. Unfortunately I had to install a transformer but nest hello will work without a physical chime. The Nest Hello rings outside and one second later will ring on your phone. I have not been able to connect the hello to the echo show yet but will update my review later. Enjoy!

Latest review: Purchased RemoBell 8 months ago. Worked OK for a few weeks but started having serious problems. Problems include poor battery life (You are supposed to get 4-6 months; you get 2 weeks if you are lucky and replacing 6 premium batteries is expensive), Video Lag and lengthy delay, Poor Build Quality: door bell button gets stuck and does not operate. RemoPlus refuses to honor their 1 year manufacturers warranty. They will either claim you broke it and refuse to honor warranty or pass buck and refer you to the retailer even after return rights have expired. It is poor quality off brand product made to look like a Ring, but without the quality control or functionality

Latest review: Love knowing that I know what is going on at my house

Latest review: Great visual and adjustable so don’t pick up cars driving by.

Latest review: I am very pleased with my purchase of the Ring doorbell. It is a great value for the price. Having the ability to watch my home while I’m away is a relief.

Latest review: I really like the Ring Pro Video Doorbell. The functionality is great. The only issue I've had with it is after 22 months of use the button cracked. The doorbell doesn't get rung very often and it hasn't been hit or kicked which would cause it to crack. I suspect it may be related to being exposed to the afternoon sun on a daily basis. On the positive side, I did contact support and they are shipping me a free replacement which is good but unless they've changed the materials I suspect it will happen again in the future.
