This
doorbell camera comes with everything you need to get up and running and
working in a few minutes, minus the first charging of the two 18650 batteries
that need charged overnight. The batteries in my other one last for months,
but does start getting shorter in the wintertime, which is to be expected.
The
1080p camera on this is great in both the daytime and nighttime. Very crisp and
clear but something to think about here, if you have a covered porch that is
dark in the day, then the people you see in the camera will be dark and just a
black image with the bright sunshine and daylight behind them. Just something
to think about.
This
does only connect to your 2.4 GHz WIFI and not your 5 GHz WIFI and is a must if
you want to use the app for storage and notifications. The app is called the “CloudEdge”
app and is on both the Google play store and Apple Store. You do have to
register for an account, but do not have to use the cloud storage if you don’t
wish to. The included 16GB SD card is more than enough to store your videos and
photos locally without having to pay for storage if that is the way you chose.
You can get the cloud storage if you want to make sure it is backed up in case
anything ever happens to the SD card? You also need to format the card before
you use it. That can be done on a PC or thru the app in the settings. That is
also a great way to clear the old videos off the SD card when it starts to get
full or you have too many to go thru and look at.
The
motion detection works great and sends a notification to the app when motion is
detected. You may need to change the sensitivity to it depending on where it is
located. Don’t want a notification every time a car goes down the street, or do
you?
One
of the reasons, I got this one was the external chime that comes with it. My 100-year-old
house doesn’t have a doorbell chime and my other video doorbell only rings on
my phone thru the app.
