Believe it or not, but this doorbell camera is as good as any out there. It has worked great since we set it up. It's extremely affordable. You can actually hear the doorbell, and it's not that annoying. You can talk to the person/people at your door through it. You can obviously see them as well. It is perfect for us. We have actually already recommended it to several people.

Nice little find!
Good quality video. Some minor issues with playback of the video. Overall a great deal for the price. Gives me peace of mind while I'm not home.
Was very worried to buy this item as the other review was extremly bad. But turns out i love the item, worked the first time and has contuined to gain my appoval each day as it is a amazing deal.
Works perfectly!
This is a fraction of the price of the other versions like ring and it works the exact same but without a monthly fee! I installed it with the 1 tool I own, a screwdriver, in 30 min. Connected easily to wifi (make sure wifi is 2.4 ghz, doesnt work with 5g). The view will be wider once I get a drill to install vertically.
Amazing High Tech Peep Hole
I have recently installed this doorbell camera and have been telling all my friends how amazing it is. The installation was extremely easy to switch from my old doorbell to this high tech peep hole. Connecting to my phone and Wi-Fi was just as easy. I'm very impressed with the clarity of the camera and I can hear the birds singing through the microphone. The notification from the motion detection pop right on my screen and am able to see a snap shot of what set off the alert. Oh, and your able to view this anywhere you have cell or Wi-Fi service. I already have a few products from Merkury/Geeni and love them all.
I will admit Im using this more like a surveillance camera because I already have a doorbell camera on my front door. So for the doorbell aspect and installment, Im not sure how difficult that is. But with the instructions it comes with seems like most anyone should be able to do it. If you dont have a good 2.4 GHz signal close to your front door, you might drop, but thats more a Wi-Fi problem than it is a device problem. The camera is impressive! It also has a night vision option to it, which is also remarkable. Though if you have a floodlight or streetlight, it might not switch over automatically. The live feed is excellent but make sure you get a Micro SD for recording. Playback is easy to navigate, and the surveillance area is adjustable and pretty decent for the motion sensor. Even though it is a hardwired device, you can still use it otherwise, but you will need your own Micro USB as it does not come with one. For the price and how well it works as far as surveillance, I recommend this product to anyone looking for something affordable, easy to set up, and works.

Great doorbell and I am buying several more.
I bought this about 2 months ago and was concerned because of some of the reviews. I am no longer concerned. Many said they was having connection problems. Never had one. First if you have an existing doorbell it is easy to install. I did however need to move mine up to eye level to get a better view of the people at the door. It took maybe 5 minutes to install and setup. One thing was the doorbell its self had to have the little chime thingy installed or the bell was always making a slight noise. I already had the app on my phone from the light bulbs and the cheap $19 wifi cameras which also work great. Hit the bell and my phone gets a notification. If I want to watch what is happening out front it is great. The microphone is impressive maybe too impressive because I can hear people talking in the neighbors house many times and the kids playing 4 or 5 houses down form me. I cannot even hardly hear them when I am on m porch. The only down side I can complain about it the night vision is not the best. It shows great for someone that is 6' away but any further and it is dark. But that is the reason for a light I guess. And no monthly fee either, which is way better then some of the alternatives. And I will also add the app works with at least 2 phones because my wife uses it also.
DO NOT PURCHASE!!!! You get what you pay for!!!!!
I purchased this Product over two months ago! However it functioned perfect for one month and became a pest thereafter! The doorbell continuously disconnects to WiFi! After resetting several times I am unable to reconnect! The product does not work AT ALL! I will not replace! Time to move on to another brand!!!
absolutely useless
save you money for a better one this one disconnects ever 4 to 5 hrs returning this junk and getting a nest
Better hope it doesn't stop work
So I bought this after deciding against using ring. Install wasn't too bad, and the app synced ok. When it worked, it really worked. Mic was clear, camera was great, app was easy to use. The camera stopped working within a month. Heres your zero stars, company support. They responded once through the app, and that was it. It's been over 2 weeks and the company hasn't responded a second time, despite continuing attempts by me. The only help they gave was to plug it into a computer to 'see if the light turns on', it didnt. So I'm stuck with an $80 paper weight. Rings are $99. So basically I have to pay double because I tried to save $20... I'm very unsatisfied, in myself as much as the company. Dont cheap out. Either buy quality or just dont at all, especially when dealing with security tools like this.
