Amazon Video Doorbell With Additional Camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking to upgrade my doorbell with a camera. This really easy to use and install. I am already an amazon Alexa user and it was pretty easy to integrate into the ecosystem. I feel more secure when leaving my home in the morning now.

This is a great doorbell that compliments an Amazon prime subscription. It helps deter package theft simply with its presence. It also works to annouce whose at the door if you have a familiar visitor and google home. I can't wait for Google Aware for the whole home security package!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best video doorbells I have ever used. It has great quality, and the video doorbell camera is very clear. Clear and easy instruction setup and integration. I really feel like the Eufy doorbell works great. It has great footage and the motion detection is one of the most accurate I have seen for video doorbells.

Excellent doorbell camera. Provides full video before and after actual event, unlike the Eufy that we replaced. Love the simple door bell chime that can be plugged into any outlet, including a nice selection of tones. All-in-all, very happy with this purchase, easy to install and more reliable connection than our Eufy requiring the limiting HomeBase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The picture and video quality of this Ring doorbell is outstanding. I got this to replace a security system I will not mention that I have had for that last several years and was paying way to much money for. The quality between the two doorbell videos are day and night. This camera is crystal clear and it actual picks up video of what i need it do, not just a bug flying by but misses somebody running through my yard. Set up was super easy. I really can’t get over how great the quality of the videos are. Great doorbell camera.

As I'm writing this, I'm still extremely happy with the performance and video quality of the doorbell camera! You see, less than 24 hours after I had installed this doorbell, a neighbor had a truck ramming into her house, ending with, well, a "bang". The doorbells ability to capture crystal clear video and amazingly detailed audio caught not only each impact, but every word yelled by the defending individual. This camera not only makes me feel much safer (especially when bundled with the Lorex Fusion NVR, more on that in a moment), but it also helped my neighbor when the police conducted their investigation. Even the officers were impressed with the quality of the camera. Well designed, and elegant to boot! Now, the only flaw with this camera, is that extracting video footage from it can be a bit problematic. The doorbell will not record continuously, as the NVR does. Setting the doorbell up with the NVR was a bit tricky, but once I was able to figure out what device it is on my WiFi network, and use the username "admin" with the password given at setup, it all clicked home. Some direct-from-Lorex documentation would help in this situation greatly. Ease of use, other than that, is excellent. But it needs to be easier to extract the video in Avi or Mp4 formats (both came up as corrupt on multiple attempts). Even using the miniplayer to convert it through screen record didn't help. I had to supply the video in native Dav format with the player. My guess, is that audio confuses the transcoding a bit? Otherwise, 10/5 stars! Great product! Thank you Lorex!!

I was skeptical of the quality of the video and accuracy of the alerts including face recognition, but I have to admit, this doorbell camera is great. I plan on adding the Google Home Hub to make this the ultimate doorbell and security camera. Great product! Installed during a cold snap around -35 celcius and it works flawless at those temps which are beyond the listed threshold.

The best video doorbell made! 4K Clarity and smart features! You will love it!

I got a UCEC cable from Amazon, the coiled one, and apparently it was causing timecode noise to appear on the camera's video track. Sony support suggested I try a new cable. This is the replacement and now the noise is gone. Woo hoo.

I'd been using a cheap video tripod I got off Amazon for video shoots for a while and I always felt like it was too much for my mirrorless camera. Also I'm way quicker and more familiar with my Benro Mach 3 tripod. It was a great discovery to find Benro makes a lightweight video head that will work on my Mach 3. All that's left is to figure out who might be able to use my old video tripod.
