Doorbell Video Camera Without Subscription

I am extremely happy with the video doorbell. Installation was easy and I like that this doorbell does not require a subscription to view the recording of events. As a bonus, I was able to add doorbell as a camera on my Lorex NR908X and that allows video to be saved on its hard drives. I am glad I did a little research to discover that this was exactly what I looking for.

I was tired of paying an annual subscription for a video doorbell that went off line a lot and did not capture people on my front porch. I have had the Lorex installed for a month now and it has not missed any activity on my front porch and I have never had to reset it. Best of all it came with a SD card, so no annual fee. I am very happy with it. It installed easily and connected to my Wi-Fi very easily. The app works fine.

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.

I’ve tried a couple of different doorbells to include Ring and Logitech. I became fed up with Ring and the push for a monthly subscription fee. I initially liked Logitech, but it was problematic since it would disconnect from the Apple Home and be difficult to reconnect. Finally, it refused to charge and stopped working all together. I wanted a doorbell where I didn’t have to pay to retain the images & that actually worked. I paid for the equipment and should not be at the mercy of the company for a subscription. The picture is great. The chime rings on my phone and on the house doorbell chimes. It does what it is supposed to do.

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!

Perfect accesory for the small video camera I have. Without this simple device I would have a great deal of trouble taking videos.

[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!!
