After reading many reviews I decided to purchase this product and was very happy with it. Does exactly as it says and definitely great for security at home. Would highly recommend this product as I have had no issues. Motion detection is great and night vision is definitely high quality. Very pleased with my purchase.
I am very happy with this camera especially given the price the quality is really good the soubd is really clear you get notifications when some one walks by your door as it has a sensor I love it and it gives me a lot more piece of mid knowing I can check ob home anytime I want when I am not there its the best I recommend this product. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is the doorbell ringer is a bit random it plugs in the main socket but doesnt appear to be doing anything other then that fantastic.
Good value, good quality images for both day and night, adjustable to what motion settings. Feel much safer knowing I have it too as it links to my phone too. Can’t fault it.
It is a good product. Easy to setup. Long battery life. It can be used at least one month after fully charge. I am highly recommended to buy it.
Very impressed with the quality of the video and images very clear very pleased with my purchase.
I do like it. It was easy to install and set up wasn’t bad at all. I haven’t had to recharge it yet, so we’ll see how long the batteries are good for (66% after a week). I think the charge could be better, but the motion detector keeps going off, even at the lowest setting. The instructions say to not point it toward the sun, but that’s a problem when your house front faces West. It also detects cars on our street about 50 feet away, but doesn’t detect when we drive out of our driveway. We get anywhere from 70-100+ alerts a day. I also noticed that the app is a little fickle making changes to the motion sensitivity (It reversed itself after I save it). Good video quality. I haven’t tested talking to someone yet.
with the remote bell and mobile alerts you can hear doorbell anywhere in house (and away too). Camera good. human detection good. best thing? no subscription. keeps only the few most recent alerts free in cloud. pic qual good.
Really impressed. The setup was easy, simple to install and the application is very intuitive. The Camera definition is excellent and motion sensor has superb range. The only thing I’ve found is that, because it the motion sensor is so sensitive, the battery does need recharging every couple of weeks
I got this as a security measure for my elderly mum, and didn’t want to pay a subscriber fee like you do with Ring. This was amazingly easy to set up, I had it ready to go within 15 mins. Even my mum could do it as she is, by no means, technically minded. The setting adjustments are all done by phone. I’ve given 4 stars for the motion sensor simply because it would be nice to be able to personalise the setting rather than have low, medium, and high, so that I can get a more accurate set of notifications. But for what I bought the doorbell for, it works just fine. Would definitely recommend this for people who don’t want to shell out loads of money but want the security of a video doorbell
I like the product and it works well for us.
I would like to know what the size of the screw that goes in the bottom of the doorbell to keep it secure in its case. It’s so tiny and easy to loose taking in and out. Need to buy more!
Edit – sent it back for full refund – when it works it’s fab but 3 days later it’s useless
Excellent doorbell camera
Camera range is really good as is picture quality wasn’t actually expecting it to be as good .the range of motion settings were also impressive.
Only downfall is the app is slow .
What a brilliant bit of kit …
I could not be happier .
It’s sleek and easy to fit , just 2 screws into my outside wall and the bell just slots in.
It is easy to set up with my smart phone and works extremely well via the app.
I would recommend to anyone .
Easy to setup, clear image, chime was simple to pair, video clips are 3min max I think, you can view the camera on the app screen for about 20 min at a time, audio seems fine but not really use it much. The free cloud storage can fill up if there’s lots of activitie which if it’s in the 3day loop you’ll need to delete some to make space for more. Notifications seem ok presenting an image. PIR notification are sensitive even on low. See the uploaded video for a run through.
Does what it says in the box told my mum about this and she has brought one great camera great price
absolutely brilliant! Never miss a delivery now as phone gets a notification of motion or someone is at the door. Picture is fantastic day and night and fantastic area span. Covers my whole cul de sac! Easy set up and long lasting batteries
Everything is great with this doorbell and it makes you feel safer in your home
Great video doorbell without the need for subscription. Excellent picture quality. Long battery life. Chime included. Easy to use and set up.
This door bell was easy to set up.
Great if you need to communicate with delivery guys at your door.
Clear picture day an night.
Don’t get put off buy the cheap price as it is as good as you need.
Option to change settings are limited compared to others however this also is a bonus as it’s set up straight from the box.
Motion alerts can be adjusted.
Overall happy.
One of the best one I ever tried, connection is stable and the notification is very good. I have it on lowest setting sensor, because my road is quite busy. This unit is worth every penny.
This is a good door bell camera and works great. I would recommend buying the battery charger otherwise charging in unit can be a bit slow.
Baught this camera door bell for security and is excelle
Battery lasts a very long time for me (I’m not in and out much, on a quiet street and have motion detection set to low), 3 days free cloud storage (and can download), motion detection is pretty good, don’t get many false triggers (set to low), good size, easy to setup (including the ringer), good picture quality (even at night) and looks good. Audio isn’t great (constant clicks).
So far I am happy with it. It is doing what it says it will do. It sends notification with eash motion it detects especially when it is on the high motion.. The Only think is I thought the chime would go off with each motion defected But not the case.. otherwise i am ok with it.. i would def recommend..
great product for a great price.
easy to set up and use with a good value for money cloud storage solution.
as good as the more expensive competitors.
i will be purchasing some of their cameras for my garden which can be linked into the same app.
Serves the purpose gives notification on phone appropriately. Camera quality is also good.
The chime is decent too. It would have been great if Chime sound could have been little louder. (not a big problem though). I am happy with the product.
It has been only 3 weeks , but nothing less than a five star at this point. Easy to install, superb performance, long running battery. So far only 13% battery consumed in 3 weeks. I have not taken any additional cloud storage the default free one is very good. You can see the videos for last 3 days. Excellent value for money
This photo shows the great quality in night vision mode great doorbell video took about 15-20 minutes to attach to wall and then set up so easy live it I definitely recommend this one
Brilliant all round night vision perfect will buy another one in the future
Don’t like little screw that holds it together and battery re charging means taking the whole bell off. Otherwise works OK and simple to use.
I use whenever I am having delivery and other door bell keep breaking
Picture is crystal clear. Good value for money. Highly recommended to anyone on a tight budget.
This has a good area of vision and detection. There is a slight time lag before it activates the phone, but this is due to the wireless link via the router. I am very satisfied with this bell.
Wow, how fabulous this VANBAR T8 is..
Super easy to install and use. Amazing video quality and clarity.
Unbelievable camera. I now have the whole of my front door on video when anything moves in there.
App also super user-friendly to use and manage.
Have had this doorbell up for a week now, we live on a incredibly busy street so I have turned the motion notifications off, but the quality and playback is absolutely fantastic as you can watch all recordings back. Still on 50% from its first charge. Super impressed with it.
Firstly, the packaging is neat, stylish and and not wasteful. So much products these days that over do the packaging.
The product itself is made well, slightly larger than something like the Ring bell but it’s not like I need the extra 2-3cm it takes up on the wall! It comes with all the screws + fixings needed to install on the wall. There’s effectively a sleeve that you put the doorbell inside and then a tiny screw on the underside to secure it in place. The app is free, with free cloud storage and is very efficiently created. It may not be as fancy as other apps but it does the job perfectly. You can set it up for motion detection and as a doorbell with a range setting for sensitivity. I can’t compare the battery life to any other product but from my use, it’s pretty good. Had it installed for several months now and it uses about 30% battery per month I.e. full charge would last between 3-4 months depending on use, maybe less if you use the live motion function a lot more (which uses more battery). But 3-4 months is pretty good in my eyes. The camera is very clear in day and night mode (the night mode not in colour) and the sound quality is clear too. You can also speak to the visitor through the app using it like a walk-in-talkie – a great feature.
The (relatively minor) negatives:
– the way to fix the bell in to the sleeve with small screw to the underside, doesn’t feel very secure. Would be a great improvement if there was a secret fixing solution or maybe a security screw of some sort.
– the recordings list on the app isn’t very refined (text over laps in some cases depending on screen size) but given it’s a free service, I really don’t care!
Verdict: If, like me, you want an affordable alternative to Ring, go for one of these. I got it on sale for 50 pounds which looking back is a. Bargain for how great it is.
It’s very good for the price.battery last about 3 weeks before needing a recharge. Picture quality is really good overall very happy with it.
Pros
1. The video quality is excellent both during the day and night.
2. Doorbell chime clear & volume setting is changeable with many different options.
3. Intercom is clear.
Cons
1. The video takes a while to load up when someone rings the bell (3 secs or so)
2. The motion detection is quite sensitive so I turned mine off, it would detect at its lowest setting about 3 meters away.
I personally wouldn’t use it as a security camera as it’s quite sensitive if you have pedestrians or very close on street traffic. I only use it to see who’s at my front door when someone rings though so for me it’s no real bother.
Battery life seems fine so far though can imagine it being reduced substantially if the motion detection is being turned on all the time.
Hope that helps in your purchase!
This camera is brilliant quality for the price. Super easy to install and set up and so far it’s been exactly what we needed. We found it best to tweak the settings over a few days to find the best motion sensitivity for outside our home.
So far couldn’t be happier with it. Good quality, great price and does exactly what it says!
This was a replacement/ upgrade for my existing doorbell from same company but this has iCloud storage included. The video sound and quality is brilliant. So easy to set up and if you do need help from previous experience the. Customer service team are brilliant and really helpful
It easy to install and get working. I only took a few moments. For someone who was not sure what to do it was very easy. It has great detection and quality is very good and you can clearly see the picture. Great for making your home feel safer when away
Was a bit sceptical about this video doorbell when I purchased it but am so pleased with it.Picture and sound quality is very good and was simplicity itself to set up.
No monthly subscriptions either.
It is a great advantage to be able to speak to delivery drivers, post office and friends at the door when not at home.
Slightly concerned about the security of the doorbell where just one tiny screw secures it to the holder, but at least you could identify the person who took it, and when, if ever it happened.
I would definitely recommend this product, very pleased with it.
I’ve only just got this up and working but I’m impressed so far. It’s quite straight forward to set up and the picture quality is really clear too. I’ve had to turn down the motion detection down to low though as I was getting notifications non stop but can’t fault it so far. I’ve only used the adhesive strip provided to put it on my front door but it’s stuck really well.
You can reduce or extend viewing according to wether your home or away fabulous produc
Affordable,easy to install,great features.this is a great product for everyone.I will be fitting another one on the in laws shortly
I honestly can’t rate this product highly enough it’s brilliant, great picture quality and sound quality. Has made my life so much easie
This product is so easy to set up. I would recommend
Simply mount the doorbell in place where you want it and as long as you have Wi-Fi connectivity in range you don’t need to worry at all. Download the app, connecting the doorbell to the wireless using the app and before you know it the doorbell is working flawlessly.
The doorbell has a chime included which is handy to have in the home incase your phone isn’t at hand but the great thing about this is once the app is setup, you get alerts straight to your phone whenever someone rings the door and you can instantly see the live stream. The device can also be set to trigger phone alerts upon motion which makes the doorbell become a security device.
Overall value for money is excellent, cheaper than branded counterparts, good quality, battery seems to last a long term, great field of view and good quality video, even works well at night. Overall a great device and well worth the money.
It is very wonderful, easy to install, and a clear picture with a sound, so I feel safe before opening the doo
Does every thing I want for better peice of mind good security at a good price plus battery life is good once fully charged picture quality very good
Easy to set up, very pleased with the quality of picture & sound.
Arrived very quickly but there was an issue with the interior chime not syncing. Contacted customer service and got a replacement sent out straight awayreally easy and all sorted now, works grea
There are a good choice of door bell tunes, my son loves to pick a different one every few days!!
It’s great you don’t have to pay for extra for iCloud storage, there was an incident at my neighbours door one evening as someone looked suspicious and I quickly downloaded the video and sent it to him to see if he knew the person
So glad I went for this one
Fabulous clear video, easy to follow installation instructions.
Love it. Fab customer service.
Cheers
Received my video doorbell yesterday, I put it on charge for the 8 hours suggested. I fixed it to the wall, this was very easy to do. I am overall pleased with the quality of the video camera, it connects to the internet and the picture quality appears to be good. I haven’t had much picked up at the moment but it’s new and i’m not sure how to set the range quite yet. I would recommend this doorbell.
The product was very easy to install. Day and night videos are very clear and the camera is weather proof! Strongly recommend.
For a video doorbell it’s a really good quality and the battery last ages. On the app you can keep an eye on the battery level, and the sound when talking to visitors through it is good too. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t want to to pay through the nose for a video doorbell. Since getting this I haven’t missed anymore deliverys or the electricion when they have been called out.
After a few hours to charge was easy to set up and install. (Only tip is to be careful when screwing in the tiny security screw in the bottom as if you drop this it’s very hard to find.)
All family are connected on the app and after a bit of adjusting it works great. We initially set it up and were getting alerts when trees moved in the street so it takes a little playing with.
Great product for the price, easy to use with the app and low subscription rates for data storage.
over all the product looks good easy to set up with little trouble, well made my small criticism is the retaining screw is far to small
Very easy installation. Great picture quality. Sensitivity ready to adjust. However, it is only the base that is screwed to the door frame, the camera/bell is just clipped into place. Very good alerts and ability to screen shot.
I was a bit dubious compared to the price to other well known products, but so easy to download and set up on your phone, picture quality is excellent, notifications on your phone are precise and a doorbell with so many tunes. Night vision is so clear too with a good perimeter. All in all an excellent purchase.
This doorbell camera is smart-looking & compact in size.
Setup is easy & quick.
Picture quality is excellent for it’s 1080p resolution.
It is supplied with two batteries which last a long time.
There is no need for a memory card because I’d records to the cloud.
Overall I am very pleased with it, and happily recommend it.
The camera gives a great image both day and night.
Get quite a delay sometimes though from the doorbell ringing and getting a notification.
For the price I couldn’t believe the quality of the pictures and the audio it’s so clea
I was a bit aprehensive when I purchased this, device due to the low cost compared to others on the market. But once fitted, there has been no turning back. Reliable, good detection distance and the picture is good too, although the night one could be a little clearer sometimes.
Would now like to find an outdoor camera that uses the same software, so I could link them.
Very easy to install on the door frame I have plastic doors so I used the double sided Sticky pad provided (there are scrws provided in the kit but I didn’t want to make wholes in the frame ) picture quality is good and sound aswell Been on the front door for 6 days and the battery has only used 4%
This product is stylish, super easy to Install and easy to pair with WiFi. Image quality is also amazing. I don’t have complains untill now. Therefore, 5 plus stars .
After comparing numerous Video Doorbells I came across this Beauty. I read all of the other reviews and decided to take the plunge and buy one.
I was not disappointed. The instructions are very clear and the setup is so easy.
I wanted a camera that would give a clear picture both in the daytime and at night and this delivers. The quality is great and the night vision is spot on with no pixalation or distortion.
The notifications are instant to your smart phone via the user friendly app.
The app itself is easy to navigate. Within the App you can set the camera sensitivity and area coverage. You also have a 3 day free cloud storage that you can download at any stage so you can keep your videos. There is an option to upgrade at a cost but with a 3 day storage with options to download the videos i dont see any point in upgrading.
Give this camera a go you wont be disappointed.
Easy to install and to set up on your phone
Excellent product at a fraction of the cost of big brand names everything about it is fab from speedy delivery to ease of set up and picture quality. Highly recommend
So far so good, the previous device I had lagged massively when picking up motion detection this was alarming for me as that is one of the key features that attracted me to this product. Very pleased I exchanged for this.
Bought this as I was having problems with a new neighbour. Really impressed how quickly it came. Well packaged. Easy to install. You have to down load an app to pair it to your phone. Lucky I had my daughter to help me! Good range. Lots of bell tunes to choose from. Great night vision. You can save recordings. Best 50 I spent.
It took a while to connect to the internet at first so patience is needed if your wi-fi is weak but once I moved our booster it works perfectly, picture quality good day and night notifications on phone and watch ( Apple ) happy and feel secure
Given it’s price compared to other heavily advertised video doorbells I was unsure what to expect, However i was pleasantly surprised by its ease of installation picture quality and set up I would recommend this product it does exactly what’s described perfect so fa
This is such good value for money. The instructions are super clear, it’s easy to hang up (I’m a not very DIY-y girl and did it ALL on my own ) and the customer service is second to none. Special shout-out to MIYA!!! She is awesome. Would deffo buy again and recommend to everyone I know.
One thing which could be improved on the app would be the ability to omit zones for the motion sensor as I get notifications when someone comes to my neighbours door too as it is adjacent to mine, but this is a minor thing.
There are loads of these on the market but for the price this is really good quality and I would recommend it.
Great value for money
Wide range camera
Adjustable motion detector range
This VANBAR is excellent for the cost. Easy to set-up and install.
Very clear picture day or night and it is simple to use, you can even download the video onto your device.
I would like VANBAR to add software for a Mini Mac so youc an access it from your desktop computer but that’s icing on the cake.
Overall I’m very impressed with it for the price.
My doorbell cam broke so brought this, found this one alot better. Easy to install, decent picture and good motion senso
The motion detector is very sensitive. When someone rings the bell the connection is a bit slow but over all I am satisfied with the product. The picture quality is good even night time. Recommended product.
Great product, great value. Works really well. Wifi not fantastic but that could be our thick walls. Can’t view live unless on same wifi. Motion sensor really good.
Picture quality is superb. The app is easy use.
Notifications to your phone are great. I bought this afyer missing a few parcels being delivered.
The plug in chime is very loud and clear and offers lots of tunes to pick from.
Ive recommended this to a family members who habe already bought one for their self.
10 out of 10.
Installation of this door bell is really a cake walk. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, Video quality is pretty good. The app is really easy to use and can be easily setup. you can then share it with others in your house so all of them will receive the notification at the same time. Battery comes with the doorbell and the backup is also very good. Can’t complain about anything so far so far so good and right on the money!
Simple instructions and operation ref level of motion detection and notifications. Early days but battery life seems okay. Picture quality and range of vision is good.
I am very pleased with the purchase.
We felt we needed more security, the motion detection and picture quality is good for this! Drill a couple a holes, it’s mounted on the wall next to our front door, best place in my opinion and so easy to fit. Had a month, not charged batteries yet, it’s on low setting.
Easy to use and easy to set up on phone with good clear pictures, very happy
Setting up with our phones was less easy as the we couldn’t get the notifications to work until an app update came through after 48 hours; they are now working.
A few minor connection issues, but this was due to WiFi issues. Repositioning the network extender nearer to the bell improved the connection.
The motion detection, by default, is set to high. This was causing many false alarms. Medium is little better in our case, although low appears to be working well. It would be better, IMHO, to have a smaller granularity of adjustment.
The bell fixing is designed to be flush with the house wall.
In our case, we have grass immediately in front of the house, with a driveway to the right.
Without adjustment, it is not possible to view the full driveway (see picture 2).
I have now mounted the doorbell over a wedge (picture 3), which allows me to see the driveway (picture 1).
It would be ideal if there was a way to angle the bell provided.
The doorbell comes with two rechargeable batteries – and these are charged by a USB connection on the back of the bell – this works… but it is necessary to remove the bell from the holder [ie take it out of service] whilst it is charged.
As the batteries are not standard AA/AAA size… it is not possible to charge them elsewhere (except if you buy a second doorbell!)
However, once adjusted, the camera is good and the two-way microphone allows you to talk to a visitor.
We haven’t actually had someone ring the bell since installation…. so I can’t comment on how that works at present… Will update this review when that happens…
I would recommend this doorbell to anyone. It’s easy to install and the picture quality is brilliant. After sales service is second to none. Very good value for the price I paid.
If I had to say something negative, the only thing that I think could be improved is the push button on the bell. There’s nothing to highlight it and at night it’s more tempting to push the camera, as it stands out more. A simple led in the button would have made it much easier to see. Small gripe I know, but nonetheless it’s worth mentioning.
Seriously, other than that, it’s great. I love it and have had hours of fun watching the video capture of family members entering and leaving the house. It’s better than YouTube….
