It’s ok, I should have just got a ring if I’m honest. It’s only 5m from the Wi-Fi and the signal we get is great but it is slow to connect when someone rings the bell.
Easy to set up, works as described. Set up on multiple phones was simple to do.
The locking screw didn’t line up totally with the casing so I had to slightly make the hole bigger otherwise I would have given this product a 5* rating.
I’m happy with the performance of this door bell, it functions as advertised. My only issue is with the mounting case, I would have preferred it be made from a tougher material. If someone was inclined to do so, I’m sure the case with doorbell could easily be broken from the wall leaving the mounting screws behind.
I’ve been using this doorbell for over a year and have got to say that the reliability of it has been excellent. It always connects within one or two seconds, unlike others that I’ve used in the past. The motion detection is consistent and reliable, the battery lasts for a couple of months before it needs recharging, and the app works well. Looking forward to getting more cameras.
Build quality and functionality are great. I didn’t want a Ring because of the monthly charge to access your recorded video so this was perfect. Works very well and you get a notification on your Apple Watch when the doorbell is rung which is good if you are in the garden and you cannot hear the Chime! Video quality is very good.
Overall, very happy with the doorbell.
Pros:
Includes a 32GB SD card so no cloud storage is required and can upgrade that to a larger size if need be.
Not to difficult to setup if planning to go wireless.
Cons:
Only uses 2.4Ghz WiFi frequency
WiFi keeps dropping off device even after moving router closer to it as well as an extender.
Motion detection is anally sensitive when you don’t want it to be when people are nowhere near door even on lowest setting but when something happened at night and you review footage, you see connection dropped out so nothing recorded.
All in all, the issues are all related to the connection dropping out and that’s something to bear in mind if you don’t have good internet speeds.
I fitted a ring at my mums and was disappointed at its limitations, slowness, initial & additional to costs.
This is world’s apart.
Really easy to install and includes a chime, unlike others.
Works great, night images are as bright as day, records and stores on included sd card.
Really pleased with this item and I’ve already recommended it to others as being superior to other better known products!
Well Made , app is quite good , very clear picture , and extra door chime works ok , bought this to work up at the gate which is around 80 yards from the house with wifi extender it works
Product as described. Does what it says. Two way communication is not smooth at times.
This doorbell far exceeded my expectations. Easy to set up, picture is of good quality and battery life is good.
The door chime would not sync, however the customer service has been excellent and i am awaiting a replacement.
The bell has intercom which is great if I’m upstairs or in back garden. All family within household have it linked to their phones too.
Wifi signal is good despite the bell being far away from my router.
Honest review
I’m happy with this doorbell does what it needs too
Picks up motions but slight delay if someone’s walking up the pavement but you get certainly enough for what you pay for nice sleek look and looks the pa
Have used this bell for 2 weeks now, here is what i think ;
Easy to set up, battery life seems to be going well
Clear decent image, promo alerts
Night vision is good
A big size so can’t be missed by those nasty burglars
App runs well on phone
I like this one – 5 Stars

I love the clear picture you get , the quality is amazing. I can not get the chime to connect though
Very pleased with product, The night vision is excellent and very clear. It is easy to identify whoever rings bell,, also if you think you hear something outside one can use the motion detection to check. The field of vision shows my front garden, driveway, roadway in front, and houses across the road. It was easy to set up and connect to Wifi though had to get WiFi extender from Amazon as thick pillar was blocking signal but signal very good now. My only problem is that I need a second chime as cannot hear when upstairs or out the back, it would be great if the company had the option of an extra chime.
Overall good and has a good range of motion. Did have to use a WiFi range extender.
Like the style of the product very slim nice & modern
Dislike the response sometimes is lacking, the mic could do with more sharpness in sound quality with sharper images, needs longer life batteries, also mention campatable batteries that you can also purchase as spares
A good camera door bell for temporary use or if on a low budget.
Time zone: is set 1 hour behind (Euro time) which cannot be updated so the time is always 1 hour behind
It’s not good but it’s not bad eithe
We ordered this wireless video doorbell 1 year ago and we couldn’t be happier. We originally considered the ring doorbell, but they had very mixed reviews. After reading all the positive reviews for the Boifun doorbell we decided to give it a try ourselves. It was very easy to install and we’ve had no issues with our wifi signal as you can see from the picture.
The battery life is fantastic & we probably only need to charge it every few months (which we do so via our letterbox).
Picture & sound quality is perfect (even at night) and we couldn’t be happier.
No more missing deliveries or standing on the doorstep with cold callers. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this doorbell to anyone.
Decent video camera (HD is very good and the night vision is exceptional).
The only issue is probably the APP “CloudEdge” which has a long lag between anyone pressing the door bell and you speaking to them. I haven’t bothered with this function as it just doesn’t work properly.
Clear pictures are taken when anyone triggers the motion detection and the video can be set to 10 sec, 20 sec and 30 sec duration.
Was able to fit it and it seems to work we are pensioners so wanted the extra protection it seems to work ok.
Videos do not give all of the scenes.
I don’t always see people coming up my path, sometimes I only see them when they are at the door, and then I don’t see them leave.
The bell works but the camera is not as good as I would like.
If the batteries fall below 3.4v they will not work the doorbell.
Contacting BOIFUN Service Team has been very helpful, most of the issues I had, in the beginning, have been sorted out. Support has been extremely helpful.
The App CloudEge could be better, it has improved since I first installed it gave several updates.
Update since installing doorbell.
I have been in constant communications with BOIFUN to sort out issues. They have been extremely helpful and the support they are giving is second to none, some of the issues are better but it is ongoing. They have given excellent service. Connections are much improved, recalling videos are good and images can be downloaded over the internet, videos are improved but still a bit incomplete where I do not always see the person entering or exiting.
good quality product easy installation, however had slight glitch with audio sound( turns out MY fault)
emailed admin thinking this would be a waste of time, WOW what a fantastic 5 star service I got!
there response immediate (allowing for time difference) identified the fault everything sorted quick time
doorbell working perfectly. this company & there products 100%.
For the price this video doorbell does what it says on the tin!
Great picture and sound quality via the app, although it is a little sensitive on the motion detection even on the ‘Low’ setting. Had to turn off the binging and bonging as i couldn’t seem to adjust the volume level of the notifications and it picks up the cars going by at the end of my quite long driveway.
Just a little tip – the little stickers that come with it don’t really stick very well! I tried them first to save screwing into my uPVC door, but the whole thing fell off very soon after! Have now screwed it in!
All in all pretty good value for money and would recommend.
Really good doorbell with clear picture in the day and at night. The app works well and is easy to use. It took a while to pair the chime but once I realised you just press and release the reset button rather than holding it, it worked perfectly!
Does exactly what it says on the tin this is an excellent buy for me the only downside of it it seems that you can only pair one phone to this item which is a shame for I have two and both are important to me, all in all, it is a very good buy
Appears to be well made. Physical installation was simple, but the software is a little awkward to use when trying to share with other members of the household.
I’m 78 years old yet found the instructions clear and was able to set it up by myself
Thanks Hilary from customer services you was a huge help! 🙂
I was 50/50 weather to buy this product.
It’s a good camera but it’s a good 6/10 seconds out so I get alerts after motion is detected so when you open your alert 9/10 times you will see nothing there at all as the camera will take the picture after the motion has passed
I’ve been using this for a few months and now the app is stating I cannot watch video alerts
Example – milkman arrives at 4am I click on the video and it says video not available, I’ve reset it and reset the sd card and still cannot watch previous alerts only see a still image which is less than helpful.
The battery on this is really bad! It needs charging up every 2 weeks, the app and the camera are not in good sync, you can press the doorbell and the notification will sometimes alert after around 20 seconds if not at all. If the app isn’t open on your phone you won’t get the alert until you open the app so sometimes you miss your visitors/delivery people.
The video chat is really bad. You can’t hear one another so trying to tell the delivery people where to leave your parcel is more difficult and annoying than missing your delivery in the first place.
Overall it’s a good camera to keep you at ease but just not that practical for actual use
I think the doorbell is great for the money and it does many things that the more expensive makes do.
I personally like the fact that you don’t have to rely on the cloud for the storage. You can use it via the included SD Card. Viewing the camera Live doesn’t require the cloud either. So for me that’s i great plus.
I did find initially it mentioning about the distance to the router. But i managed to move my router a little and it resolved the issue.
Am really pleased with the purchase.
It works well. A high tech wifi door bell with excellent video quality.
The door bell is excellent for answering, recording the call. Anywhere your from your mobile phone receive, monitor and answer the calls is great. The device door bell is great deal for security reasons for any door and keep safe homes. I recommend you this door bell for your house to keep your safe and sound.
Fairly straightforward to install. Having a little difficulty adding the bell
Easy to setup and I can answer the doorbell from my cellphone. Would have preferred a mains only (rather than usb)
door bell, but at least the bell an be moved into another room.
I have been using this for a couple of weeks now and it is working flawlessly. Set up is easy and I had it up and running and installed in about 15 minutes. It seems to hold a charge quite well and has been running for almost 2 weeks since the I charged it and is still showing good battery levels.
No subscription required is a great plus.
First time I buy wirless video doorbell and I am really surprised from quality and the way how it work. Instructions are very clear if you follow step by step. I have already WiFi cctv on the front of the house and had some issue with signal so was wondering if wi-fi signal will be good enough but after set up with my smart HUB and test on the front door signal was 81%. APP is very easy to use and there is a lot of options to modify by your needs. Price is fair and strongly recommend this product.
This product has a wide scope and is able to also record in night time in very clear imagery. The only thing that is annoying is the batteries do not last too long and recharging them is awkward
Great product clear image did take a while to connect to the Internet. Got the ring tone to my phone, after a while it stopped and started to it late. The secure screw fits into the base, but when it’s attached to the wall the screw will not secure it was like it was to short. So its been sorted out for a refund.
Easy to install and it has a great view of the front of the house. The motion detection is very sensitive so it picks up lots of movement outside. Picture it gives is very clear. The battery is the only slight downside as we had to charge it after only a month of use.
The door bell has been installed for over a month and needs charge twice per week . Not ideal at all , I have it set on lowest motion detection , maybe picks someone up 3-4 per day . So no way near the advertised battery life you get . Very annoying
Free SD card and no monthly sub fees. All working . Tried other video door bells and this is best so fa
Very easy to set up, worked straight out of the box. I can’t imagine what else you would get or need by paying more, this works, clear pictures. You can also easily share with family members so anyone can answer the door. Excellent product.
Delivery came quick and it was pretty straight forward to set up and connect to phone once i downloaded the app. All seems to be in good working order.
My only issue with it is that i have been unable to connect the chime i’ve tried and tried pressed the reset and paired it to my phone, however when i press the door bell it the chime still does not make a sound. Volumes up it is placed close to the front door but yet i am really struggling to get it to sound when bell is pressed . Notifications still sound on my phone but i would like the chime to work too so all in all i would give it a 4 out of 5.
Very good and well built device
I was looking for weeks without any luck as there are so many out there my deciding factors are
Good camera
Fast response time
Internal chime
Slim
Good app
Night vision
Human detection
Long battery life
And above all easy installation
In this device i have got all what iam looking for, price wise not the cheapest but in comparison with other brands i think it is a good deal.
One down side is the app inability to select the detection area and deleting files could be simpler.
Great piece of kit can’t wait to get it up and running thanks it’s working now and it’s great feel really secure when away from home knowing its working so easy to install and great WiFi signal
Easy to set up and works well. Very pleased with the product. I needed to get a Wi-fi booster to be able to use at the front door. This is not a product fault though and is to do with my network, I knew the signal was weak in that area, but as soon as that was installed it worked a treat.
It is good for the order price. The only problem is it does not show a clear picture of people . It looks slanty and when speaking through the phone to the camera the voice delays. Overall. It is good for the price and additional security for the home
Great door bell camera. My WiFi is about 7 meteres away from the door and it connected perfectly. Very easy to set up, crystal clear and the motion detection works as charm. I mounted it using the double sided tape it came with. Very happy with this camera. Cannot recommend it enough. Sleeping much better now I have this installed. 5 stars
I really love the product and the simple functionality of it! It just makes our life’s easier if we’re busy or out shopping. I’m the personal caregiver to my mother and this is a lifesaver.
Thanks
Unfortunately this didn’t work for me because of the signal strength where I live. This company went above and beyond to try to help me. Even though the problem was mine and not theirs. As long as you have a strong signal in your area I would not hesitate to recommend them.
I had a AnyHome bell for 3 yearsit was OK but it hadrun its course. This is much better and clearer view.
Great sturdy door bell, easy to install, clear pictures & video, most of all it fixes to the wall or door frame & the bell fixes securely inside it’s base so it can’t be removed & taken. Special key to be able to remove for charging the batteries inside. Well impressed with it.. so pleased I purchased it..
This is a very capable piece of equipment.
It’s high definition and will make for peace of mind in terms of security. We really like the option to hard wire the product so we don’t have to charge the batteries. We also like the card and cloud storage facilities. This really ticks all the boxes.
Fitting the door bell unit into the housing is very fiddly and could do with being adapted. Otherwise instillation was easy to complete.
Nicely packed, and very easy to install.
Downloaded the app to my iPhone without any problems.
From unpacking to completely install took about 15 mins.
Really impressed how the doorbell can even be used as a live security cam, through the app.
So pleased with the product, recommended it to fellow workers.
After reading several bad reviews of this I am left wondering why. It looks good and is easy to set up and everything works. I had to set some app preferences on my phone to get it to go and I also had to read the instructions to pair the ringer!! I’m a bloke and reading instructions goes against all our training, it’s madness.
All said and done it’s a good bit of kit and doesn’t involve any monthly subscriptions to cloud based storage unless you want it to. I’m going to leave it until Christmas to buy my partner one.
Good quality , no false alarms . Works very well . Doesn’t lag . Easy to install with good instructions and tools
Pleased with this. Good value. Great to see what the delivery peeps are doing and speak from afar to advise not to leave parcel on front step.
Only draw back is the tiny tiny screw that attaches it in the holder. Lost already
Brilliant Doorbell and amazing security! So so easy to install, so easy to download the app and get it all started. Motion detector is really good and I also get notifications when there is a motion or someone at the door on my Apple Watch if I don’t have my phone to hand which is a plus for me!! I definitely recommend!
Very easy to install and set up. The instructions were easy to follow and the equipment/tools that comes in the package is helpful such as the mini screwdriver. It provides everything you will need. The anti theft screw is also a big advantage. The footage is very clear and overall I am happy with the product. Only issue is that the battery drains quickly.
I have now managed to set up a on timer for the sensor you need to set up a session before midnight then another after this stops you getting alerts every time you walk out your front doo
l returned it as its too dear with battery being purchased I contacted seller he had put no battery included but l missed it when l first read the sales report they gave me a full refund thats why the 5tars very pleasant contact with selle
The reason I only give this product a 4 star not 5 is purely because I have not had it more than a month yet so still early days BUT its a 4 because it was very easy to set up, packaged very nice, looks quality, feels strong and very happy so far. I will be keeping you informed within the next couple of month….
(Update) 4 star to 5 star, can’t fault this product!
As this is my first smart doorbell I have nothing to compare against. All I can say is I cannot fault anything about it. Straight away I could tell it was a quality item. Comes with everything you need to install and use (after you have charged the unit). Instructions for fitting are fantastic. Alerts are almost instant. Picture quality is great. Battery life seems like it will last a good few weeks before it needs charging. Don’t hesitate to purchase this item. You will not be disappointed.
Secondly the bell only works if plugged into a a USB port, which if I plugged it in to my computer we wouldn’t hear it downstairs, so I used an old smart phone charger as we don’t have any USB ports downstairs and it worked fine.
Otherwise really pleased with the product and it seems to work fine and I like having a memory card in the doorbell.
Wire the positive + to the left connector and the negative to the right connector, that’s as you are looking at the housing attached to your house from the front.
Wire that to a standard 5v USB phone charger, I used an iphone charger.
You can buy USB to 5.5 mm adaptors meant for security camera installs.
The app reports battery power and 100% and has been doing so for weeks, I fully charged the batteries before install and as an experiment ran them down a bit before turning on the power source, brought both batteries back to 100% and “full bars” on display.
Forgot 12volts and anyway round wires, did that, unit makes a chunking noise one way and other way round does not charge. Hope this helps a few people out.
Other than that works well, but obviously there’s a bit of a delay on the doorbell between push and report on your phone, nothing that bothers us, very useful as one is on mums house who is disabled so we can take care of callers for her.
Gave 4 stars as instructions around power are misleading.
I have recently purchased this product to give it a try, and so far very impressed. No problems with it connecting with my phone, it comes with an indoor chime (which with Ring you have to pay extra for), it also comes with a memory card so you can use the motion detector and store the videos at no extra cost (again with Ring, this service is a monthly fee)… so overall, would totally reccommend this product.
Also the after sales customer service has been great in the fact that they have been in contact with me to make sure that I am happy with the product (and that all components turned up), and to check if there are any issues that I needed help with.
Very easy to install on door, setup, and connect.
Amazing quality and works so easily and understandable. Love it and got great deal on price very very happy after researching and reading many others.
5* – Fast professional delivery & excellent product packaging.
5* – Excellent Instruction Manual, App and Guide Process.
5* – Robust solid product manufacturing quality & good price.
5* – Initial Camera quality but 4* given since the camera and functionality is as yet untried for me but the first
impressions are looking extremely good, although i will update in circa 1-2 mths of practical use.
Please Note – My router is at the back of my house well away from the Front Door and the App did tell me that the front door wifi signal is strength is too low to work reliably and this despite my have several high quality BT wifi signal extenders. This does not necessarily reflect on the product however despite this the camera and intial functioning of the units seems unimpeded by this so i guess only time will tell.
I am quite happy I dont have to pay yearly subscription fees to Ring (my ring chime died off and are expensive to replace)
So far, the only con I could think of is the availability of replacement chimes, if at all required…
Update:
Although everything is good, the image quality is not upto the Mark. It isn’t as clear as Ring definitely
This doorbell is worth every penny cheaper than the rivals but the same quality easy set up the only fiddly bit was the security screw at the bottom(10 attempts to get it in) but apart from that simple set up picture quality great, personally would recommend this to my friends
Pleased with the door bell so far. Only had it 2 days. Great quality of video and sound for the price. Only issue is It keeps activating when traffic passes outside in the road, which means we get constant activations, bit annoying. Be great if we could adjust the distance from which it alerts us. Overall pleased with the purchase so far.
My only comment is I could not find any instructions as to how to place or fix the chime to something. Perhaps it just stands on its own in a convenient place easy to re charge when the time comes. Not a problem. Great product. Easy to fit.
Looks good. Tells visitor in no uncertain terms they are being recorded.
Very easy to set up, connect, and pair with Wi-Fi system. Just make sure you have a signal by the door where it will be held in place. Also make sure you know what height to set the doorbell. Before making it permanent!
Obviously use this product on the front door very smart looking nice slim design good picture good intercom instructions could be a little bit more clearer but once I got my head round them the setting up was easy would recommend this product to most people
Only major problem is to do with motion detection – it is meant to detect human bodies at two distance settings (3m or 5m). This doesn’t work – it picks up passing traffic at >11m. We’re near a busy road so it goes off at least ten times an hour and this drains the battery. We now switch off motion detection during the day when we’re at home (the video bell still works).
And to save recharging the batteries every two or three.days, I have hard-wired it using a generic 18v bell transformer from Amazon. One tip if you do this – make sure you get the lugs at the top of the unit in place when you put it back in the bracket – otherwise the electrical terminals won’t make contact.
One other thing to watch is that terminal screws and security screw are small and fiddly – easy to drop and lose them.
Seems good quality. The unit is quite a bit chunkier than others on the market but it’s also a lot cheaper for the same job. Easy to set up and share with other users. The 15m motion sensing range is far too great for most UK homes so I’m not sure if this will be problematic – would be better if adjustable. Lastly, the instruction book is ok, but the translation to English could be a lot better?
Update:
======
After further testing over several weeks – I can say for sure that the biggest problem is not WIFI signal because the connection to our Phones (both Android 9.x & Iphone 10) has been rock solid. Anyone complaining about WIFI must look at their WIFI equipment as it is not a issue for this device. I have a large home with latest BT Home Hub and no additional extenders and the video doorbell is about 5-7 meters away through at least two walls and the signal strength in the CloudEdge app is never less than 65%. Both HD & SD are perfect. Iphone looks better than in my Android handset (guess – Iphone 10 Hardware is better than Xoimi HW).
Also Latency is better in the Iphone compared to the Android H/S. Overall – the latency can be improved and is the biggest weakness (although it is just about acceptable in Iphone).
For the price paid – then the latency is acceptable (otherwise if it was any dearer – then one star woulf be deducted for that). But – based on my research , it seems that there is some latency delay with even the more expensive devices and hence its a common issue – yet to be fully resolved.
The other issue is that the CloudEdge App does not automatically open the alerts when they are sent. The Alerts are fairly fast – but because you need to open the app – about an additional 10 – 20 seconds pass. But most deliveries or visitors do wait for response and that still works.
Overall its a solid 4* – but considering the overall value for money and the fact that I can hardwire and record the video in a custom setup means a 4.5* for me – hence I will leave it at 5* for now.
This is a great product. Really good quality camera, PIR monitoring works well, feeling secure knowing who is at the door. The alerting works well in the phone and also my watch, so when you are away from the house(lockdown allowing ), you are aware of who is at your door. Easy to install and connect to Wi-fi and door bell repeater.
Keeps disconnecting from WiFi and the battery will only charge up to 72% when the charge stops and the charging light goes off.
Update on 1st December; supplier has agreed to replace the doorbell free of charge. Hopefully this should resolve the problem.
Really love the quality it has some good weight to it so feels quality . Very easy to install and charge camera /bell and lasts for weeks not recharged it yet and be on for 3 weeks already . Great alerts on my phone and chimes are quite loud too all in all very happy and feel a lot safer due to camera on my work van and ca
I opted for this as i had a few people using Ring and they all complained about it.
I read through the reviews and decided to put my faith in this. It hasn’t disappointed. Instant connectivity, camera is clear, audio is exceptional and chimes are loud enough for my town house.
Also no payment for cloud storage as the SD card does all the work.
RING have got some competition on their hand.
Wanted a camera for my home but was weary of doing any DIY.
The Boifun Wireless door camera was ideal because it provided strong double sided tape for fixing to my uPVC door securely.
Set up was easy via the app, and it connected easily to my wifi, providing crystal clear images with a selection of options.
The included and ready installed SD card is very useful for storing those moments you need to keep.
Very happy with my purchase and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this great camera.
Also due to being disabled I often have difficulty in answering the front door before a delivery driver has run off with my parcel!
This seemed like a good option to cover both issues……and I was right!
It was very easy to install, the app talks you through the process. The video quality is excellent and you have the option of activating a motion sensor on 2 different sensitivity settings so you know who is coming onto your land. I have mine on the lowest setting and it detects someone walking onto my path in the front garden but people and traffic in the street doesn’t constantly set it off.
So far, it has never lost connection and the battery life looks good. I have just returned from holiday in Greece and it worked perfectly, I could access live video monitoring and I received all my alerts with no delay. So long as the doorbell and phone has WiFi you maintain a good connection.
So far I am very impressed with this system and would definitely recommend it.
I had a card in the box that said I was lucky and was one of only 5% of customers who could have a doorbell extender or a wifi extender. I contacted them by email for the wifi extender as mine sometimes shows only 32% strength. They said they will send it, but only after posting a 5 star review and sending them a screen shot (they are in China) !!
The camera does work well, it’s good quality and I get notifications through the App, so I can see what’s going on at the back of my house. The image quality is pretty good in the daytime and at night. It would be good enough to identify someone. I would recommend it, 72 (as on a deal) is a good price for this unit, I’m not holding my breath on receiving the wifi extender, but they are quick to reply if you did have a problem.
I got this doorbell to upgrade from an older digital doorbell that kept getting stuck when ever anyone rang the bell. I’m pleased with this product, it’s sturdy and well made. Everything is included in the package to install either wired or wireless which is pleasing. I have installed wirelessly and it’s working well. The app isnt too bad once you get used to it. Set up was pretty easy as the instructions are comprehensive. Pleased with this purchase.
This one from BOIFUN looks the same as others I have tried but it is different in many ways……This one actually works.
The motion detection on it is better than previous ones I have tried. It obviously wakes up from standby that bit quicker and as such I am getting the faces of people as they walk down the path, not the backs of their heads as they walk away.
set up was so simple and the app works ok. Would rather have the ability to delete footage as I see fit rather than have to rely on the loop around function (or formatting the card), but not the end of the world in all fairness, just let the doorbell do it’s thing. live view is great.
Only niggle is that sometimes the video/sound sync is ok (1 to 3 seconds), other times it is bonkers out!!!
Watched a video clip the other day and I got in my car and drove away….all in silence…..then the next video clip kicked in with my wife talking to the postman accompanied by MY soundtrack from the previous clip….door closing, car door closing, car starting up, driving away. THEN, after my wife had closed the door and the postman had walked away, their conversation started for around 20 seconds.
My point being, on this occasion there was a TWENTY SECOND DELAY between video and sound.
Not brilliant for evidential purposes but it wouldn’t take a genius to subtract the sound track to make it match what was happening on the screen by offsetting it .
It hasn’t been a problem since that one instance.
The wifi box is around 8 feet from the door bell. Maybe a wifi extender might ‘boost’ the signal.
Anyhow. This doorbell is better than the KAMTRON and the RING bells I had installed before.
I had to download you so friendly app called “CloudEdge”. Straight forward easy to use, I have charged my both parts, main and chimney unit.
It came with glue strips but doesn’t feel secure as payed quite a lot and last thing I want someone just take it. So I have secured mine with screws even had to do screw holes on my door, at least it’s much secure.
Positives :
-Came with batteries.
-Came with memory card,
-User friendly application
Need improvement: works only with 2.4ghz wifi, could be better if works with 2.4 and 5ghz. Not big issue but could save me time with installation.
Overall great product, fast connection and visibility. Have a look my pictures and video to see real size hope this will be helpful to decide if item suitable or not for personal needs. If so please push below helpful button 🙂
The quality on the video is excellent. It’s full HD with 1080p resolution. The night vision mode is also really impressive, and useful as not great lighting outside our house.
The app is so easy to install on your phone, and you can get to use the doorbell straight away. There are several really good functions, such as a motion sensor so if anyone walks up to the door it sends you an alert with a picture of the person that has triggered it, and this can be set to low for anything within 3m and high to pick up movement as far away as 5m – but there can be a lag with the software occasionally.
I was worried about potential theft of the device, as didn’t want it to go missing – but it comes with a security screw which keeps the doorbell safely in place.
Highly recommend this product for the price and quality, compared to others on the market.
I have been after a video doorbell for some time and after some research came across this product. Delivery was very quick, beating the delivery estimate by days. The setup instructions in the box are very detailed and link with the instructions on the associated mobile App well, the entire setup process took no longer than 10 mins.
Installation of the doorbell was easy, I did not hardware the bell but instead chose to use the inbuilt batteries.
The picture quality when set to HD is very impressive, both at day and night. The App is intuitive and allows you to search through all the events that the camera captured. I have motion detection turned on and any time someone approaches the door, even if its just the postman it is captured! I am then notified that motion was detected via the App and can review. If a visitor arrives, I can see and talk to them through the App no matter where I am. This came in useful to tell a delivery driver to put the parcel by the side of the house instead of the front!
One of the features I like the most about this doorbell is the ability to share it. My wife has the App on her phone and its shared so that she can answer the door via the App if I am busy and visa versa.
The doorbell is a nice design and presented well, not as big as others which is a bonus and looks good in place.
Good wifi connection through many walls and about 10m away from the router, no drop outs and response quickly (2.4Ghz)
Comes with tools and fixings.
It also has the option to be powered externally by a 5v power source.
App easy to setup, straight forward instructions. A recommendation would be to disable battery optimisation on the app (if using android) as I found this makes it respond almost instantly when the phone is sleeping, although it still responds quickly without disabling battery optimisation, I also customised the notification tone so I can distinguish the doorbell from other notification sounds.
Night vision excellent, the entire area can be seen clearly at a wide angle.
Low latency of audio and video.
Included memory card is large enough for most people’s needs, but is expandable if required.
Battery life is very good, even more so if you dont use motion detection like me.
It can be charged in place without removing the battery by a covered micro usb port on the underside.
Included chime unit is powered by usb and has 4 selectable tones.
Very nice device.
Extremely easy to set up and install. Instructions are clear and very easy to follow, it took me less than five minutes to get mine working.
The doorbell has a long lasting battery that is rechargeable (wire included. It requires no mains power or wiring. I have a long USB wire so I’m able to charge mine, when required through the letter box, you could also use a Powerbank. Alternatively you can just unscrew the security screw and remove the bell from its holder and charge inside. I’m just lazy. The security screw ensures that no one can steal the doorbell and a tool to fit and unfit it is provided. The product comes with all fixtures and fitting so you have everything you need to secure the device to a wall or door.
The device comes with a bell that is usb powered and can be fitted into any device with a USB socket. Once the doorbell is pressed both the bell and your mobile device or tablet ring. On your device or tablet you get the option to decline, answer or play message. It works like a dream and you can see the video of the person before answering. The device also has a SD card to record those people who have tang the bell.
This is a great doorbell, great functionality and an excellent bit of security to any home. An absolutely brilliant device that’s fun as well as functional. Really love it.
In the Box
instruction book, rechargable batteries, memory card, mounting screws and sticky pads, internal chime unit, 2 sets of locking screws for securing it in the door mount, name tag and a screw driver, torx key and pin key .
setting up the door bell was super simple, the app that is needed to use the door bell is very user friendly and explains every step.
The quality of picture you get in both day and night vision is fantasic. A really clear and crisp image.
The App has several really good functions, such as a motion sensor so if anyone walks up to the door it sends you an alert with a picture of the person that has triggered it.
We charged the door bell over night when it arrived with us and have ran the door bell for 72 hours and it is still at full battery. we have the motion sensor feature on and have been using the door a lot. So when they say 8 weeks of charge i believe it.
highy recommend this door bell to anyone looking for a video door bell system.
