winees Video Doorbell Camera Wireless Smart Video Doorbell with HD 1080P, Indoor Chime, 170° Wide Angle View, Direct to Wi-Fi No Hub Needed, Waterproof, Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Easy Installation

At first I was excited to get another product of this company because the indoor camera worked so well. But the doorbell even a year later fails to be successful and the connectivity doesn’t work. So if you only want a doorbell that looks like a camera then get this. If you want a working product, don’t.

I loved the overall result of this camera.

The set up process could’ve been a lot easily easier. It’s a little confusing compared to most other wireless set ups for a multitude of devices that I’ve dealt with. They directions were lacking quite a bit on installation and set up. However overall the device seems well-built and it functions. Has quite a bit of features. so far I’ve only had it in for two days and I’m happy with the purchase I just wish I had to use a little less cuss words when setting it up and installing.Update they have discontinued this hire model that was wired looked like a ring doorbell.After I write the above good review we had a cold snap of weather and right after… no more camera. It’s done, over. I assume because they stop selling it. They either had plenty of problems or figured out it was a loser or both. One of the biggest things is if you do get lucky and find one that’s good you can’t contact the winees people at all easily, because there’s no links to contact the seller or phone numbers for warranty any of the such so, I guess I have to write this off as an $85 loss .

Battery did not even last a day and the doorbell now will not connect at all. I have tried to reset it several times and it still is not working. Doorbell only worked for about a hour.

The doorbell camera is looks very great in our front door.Its wide view angle is fantastic and the night view is also good.About the connectivity i don't know but our doorbell does always go offline and don't detect motion very much unless you wake it up via app. So its main use in the house is just a doorbell! Felt a little frustrated with it. We adjust wifi and everything but can't seem to figure what's the problem.And also it needs a micro sd card. Or could just go buy the developer's cloud storage itself first month is free.The chime is good, well functional can be served as night light automatically. The volume on the highest one is loud enough for you to hear when someone is at the door.With the two way talk audio we haven't tested it yet because the doorbell kept on going offline.Overall for it's price range it was a okay. But if you want good connectivity and live view without lag . Will let you decide if this fits on what you are finding or not.

Didn’t set up correctly the first time so I had to unpair it and now I cannot get it to reconnect to my phone

It doesn’t stay charged longer than 3 to 4 days and it doesn’t work anymore after trying to reconnect it

A smart doorbell camera should allow to see who is at your door, in an instant, even when you are not home.It should provided instant alerts when someone is nearby or rings the bell.It should allow to listen and speak to anyone on your doorstep.It should have the option to record and it should be easy to install and setup.It should also deliver instant and accurate alerts.If battery powered, it should be able to distinguish between a person and vehicle driving by to avoid wasting battery.The WINEES doorbell manual is very clear with easy to follow setup instructions.It has voice prompts when turn on, reset and ready to setup.The easy instructions allows for a fast setup and installation.You could see who is at your door when at home and away with the smart app.The app is very intuitive and easy to use. It looks very similar to other smart doorbell apps.Alerts are delivered in a timely manner (within 3 seconds) and they are mostly accurate.The WINEES smart doorbell allows to speak and listen to anyone at your doorstep with the built-in mic and speaker.The picture is very clear on a well lit environment and just ok in low light conditions.There is an annoying lag when having a conversation with someone at the doorbell. It does not matter how good the WiFi signal is where the doorbell is located. Even at 10 feet from WiFi router and with 98% WiFi signal strength it did not improved the video feed quality.The WINEES smart doorbell could be setup (PIR) to receive alerts when someone is at the door and it could record motion detection if a MicroSD card is installed.There are 3 levels of motion and they all work very well.There is a cloud subscription available but not required for the WINEES doorbell to work. A Micro-SD can be installed to record locally.To install a Micro SD card, the 2 internal batteries must be removed. That also requires opening the batteries doors using a Phillips screwdriver. A Phillips screwdriver is included in the box.The Micro-SD card slot does not have any indication of the direction to insert the Micro-SD card, but it goes facing up.The batteries are standard 18650 Li-ion 3.7V 9.62Wh, that could be easily found online and replaced when they not longer hold a charge.The WINEES smart doorbell could also be powered by a previous bell wiring.To charge the batteries the smart doorbell must be removed form the base, since the USB charging port is located on the back of the unit...that was not a smart location to place that port.Many similar smart doorbells have the USB port accessible without the need to remove the doorbell, in case you want to keep the doorbell in place while recharging the batteries.There is a chime included that plugs into an outlet. The chime was already paired to the smart doorbell and it has more than 50 chimes available.The chime has 3 volume settings and it is pretty loud on the highest setting.The chime also serves as a night light motion sensor. Its light turns on when movement is detected and automatically turns itself off.At night will be near imposible to see the doorbell button, unless PIR is enable, since the doorbell light goes on when motion is detected, the bell button is pressed or when the app is in used.LED use little power, so the smart doorbell button should be lighted, especially during night hours.The WINEES smart doorbell delivers accurate motion detection and it can store footage locally, it has a nice viewing angle but the video quality is ok for a 1080p device.When it comes to smart doorbells, there is a lot of competition, so there are other units with more features, better image (2k), better performance with no video lag, customizable responses, and they cost about the same.
