I like this doorbell a lot and would give it 5 stars except the range for motion detection is a bit spotty. As an example it’s aimed at my gate about 10 meter’s away and beyond that about 50 - 60 meters away is a road, scene set!

The motion detection does not pick up visitors opening my gate & walking directly towards it until they are just about to hit the doorbell - however - in the afternoon with light shining through the trees if a bus passes it is picked up by the motion camera. So it must have the functionality to pick visitors up sooner but with the settings available being pretty basic I haven’t found a way to fix the false flags.

To reiterate though the camera is crystal clear day and night if you use the live function and you can set to record manually if required. The intercom is also useful if you are unable to get to the door for a delivery as you will have seen for other similar products on television.

Overall a pretty good bit of kit with multiple functions and it’s rechargeable (my previous one had me buying 8 of the good black & gold batteries almost weekly so I am a big fan of the rechargeable power pack I have found the battery lasts a couple of weeks before getting charged but I am obviously boring and don’t get many visitors since I am writing this big review on a Friday at 22:00 so if you are popular the battery may run down faster I don’t know if that is the case or not!

Upon arrival of this new video doorbell I was impressed with the quality of it, the instructions were clear and very simple to install, the image quality is very good during the day and night, there are a lot of different settings to personalise your requirements including different voice settings and you can record a message to the visitor should you not be able to answer, I get a lot of deliveries so I recorded a message where to leave packages or to deliver to a neighbour, the doorbell is very secure and has a tamper switch that will sound an alarm should anyone try to remove it, there is absolutely no delay when the doorbell is activated I instantly receive a notification on my phone weather I’m at home or at work, it can also be used like a cctv camera to monitor the area and with motion sensor it provides great security and peace of mind knowing my property is safe. I have installed a 128gb memory card which gives me the option to view previous events without the need to subscribe to the cloud service which is optional. I like the indoor ringer device and I can put it anywhere and it can be used with batteries or a usb both are supplied in the box however the memory card isn’t but if you follow the instructions in the manual you could get one absolutely free. For the price this has to be one of the best video doorbell available.

This software is always so laggy, it freezes all the time plus by the time someone has gone past its too late once the camera comes on, it could be such a good app but it’s missing things to make it a really good piece of software, the only reason I use it is because it’s the only app for my door bell video, the latest update has taken away the percentage of battery power left, yes there’s a battery showing you how many bars but no percentage, thats quite frustrating now. There are things missing that I can not use anymore since the last update, I can not change the intensity of how much or how little my doorbell picks up passing people/cars, I can not alter that anymore, I can not change the chime & it’s volume on the bell, these are both missing on the app, please get them back on, my doorbell is not picking things up much & I can’t alter it because it doesn’t exist any more! So basically my doorbell is useless unless a person is stood directly in front of my door, all notifications don’t work anymore & it’s frustrating because there are so many missing things now in settings, it’s no longer possible to do anything to change anything now, I had 1 notification yesterday, that was my postman, this app is actually useless now
