Doorbell Camera With Local Video Storage

Doorbell works great and does everything you’d expect. I love the fact that it’s local storage and does not require a subscription like Ring. Picture and audio quality is great.

So far this doorbell has met or exceeded my research notes I made before purchase. Definitely like the local storage rather than depending on Cloud Internet access.

I am impressed! Installation was easy and straight forward. The functionality is great. The video doorbell alerts you to someone approaching, and the video recording begins before they even arrive at your door! Video resolution is superb, and the local SD card storage and optional cloud storage makes video playback very simple. Very pleased and glad I made the decision to go with Lorex!

I like having my own local storage and not having to pay extra for it.

I needed a second surge protector as the amount of disk storage needed for local backup of my photography and video portfolio has grown over time. Making sure all of your computer gear and years of work are properly protected is essential and something that most people seem to overlook.

We purchased the Nest Home doorbell at our local hardware store and installed it ourselves, with help from a family member by texting and relaying pictures of stages of the installation as we went along. Hindsight, I would suggest having this installed professionally, if you have any doubts at all. We are very pleased with Nest Home!!! A very clear image and many features that we are pleased with!

[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!!
