Wyze video door bell $30 + $6 shipping - preorder
Here is a cheap video doorbell at a fraction of price for a Ring:
https://wyze.com/wyze-doorbell.html The downside is that you must already have an existing wired doorbell, I believe for its power. It sends push notifications to your cellphone and 12-second recordings are stored for free on their cloud. Sorry, I can’t get the pics smaller unless I host it someplace .

For this doorbell, looks like local storage won't be an option. So far, looks like everything is staying here in the US with AWS encryption, so from that standpoint seems interesting. I don't have a Ring doorbell but might try this one out. |

What is the deal with their plans though? Just got a new spot and was liking what Ring had to offer (minus the entry price). Also, unsure if I want to wait until Jan for this..

Wyze's philosophy is to provide home security/health tech at a fraction of the price of everyone else. They didn't like how the big companies were gouging consumers. They knew the cost of the products didn't warrant the high prices the products were selling for. So they wanted make the tech affordable to the masses. They've done just that. Their products are just as good or better than the big companies for far less money.

I bought 2 of their cameras on a whim maybe 3 years ago, I now own 8. Absolutely solid product, constant upgrades & free cloud storage at very good price. Have never had an issue controlling them from my phone while overseas.

I currently have four cameras. And may get more, including the doorbell. I only had one problem getting a sensor to mate with a camera and upgrading the camera firmware solved that.
Also, they have electrical sockets that you can program on and off. I'm thinking of getting some for my office and home theatre to turn things off automatically at night so I don't use so much juice.

I love my Wyze Cams! I have 10 of them all around my property in weather resistant clamshell housings. They’ve been flawless for the last 1.5 years. Great products, great app, great company! Unbelievable price! I would be happy with these cameras at twice the price!!

Easy enough to pick up a transformer and wire it in....
I’m mixed on my wyze cams and their performance. Moving people are not easy to identify. Ring is better but way more money - still affordable - but more for the camera and the service

I’d get a Ring too but I kept hearing how thieves like stealing them. If there were a good looking anti-theft cage of some sort for the Ring, I would’ve had one by now. The cages I see available online just look ugly to me.
Yeah, I know how the company would replace stolen Ring doorbells for free, but I don’t like the feeling of being a victim. I’m hoping that the Wyze camera being so much cheaper that they don’t attract thieves. Who wants to steal a cheap camera? .

I plan on mounting a few outdoors in the waterproof housings. I need something for my driveway and side of the house. I have a different brand of indoor cameras covering the front of the house but there are a couple of blind spots even though they pan and tilt. So far so good. If the doorbell cams are as good as this one, I'll be pleased. Still have to conduct some more tests, but so far so godd.

Just so you guys know, when Wyze cams record their 12 secs. of video (which is not adjustable at all) they need a 2 min. "cool down" period. To me, they are useless if something moves in the cams. view and all you get is a 12 sec. clip. Then for the next 2 mins. you'll get nothing.

I know this is an old thread but I signed up for the in stock notification and never got one......Did anyone pick up and install and if so how is it working for them? My wife is one me about installing a couple or Rings, one at the front door and one at the garage door bell but I've ben slow rolling waiting for these.....I'm resistant to the Ring because it's my understanding you give up all rights to the footage.

I ordered one last September based on this thread, and it arrived in the mail last week. They are maybe not as polished as a Ring, but it seems to be doing just fine in basic use. Not much in the way of installation instructions beyond a video showing the physical install - figuring out the app isn't rocket science but you are basically on your own.
One of the doorbell choices is a really obnoxious dog barking, and an even more irritating 'panic alarm' sound. And since you can change the doorbell chime remotely anywhere you have a cell phone signal... well initially it can be really fun to bug the wife when you aren't at home. Based on what I saw on their site last week it looks like they are still OOS, and have only been supplying units to pre-order customers so far. Would I buy one again based on the price as compared to a Ring? Definitely.

Are you talking about Amazon's Blink? I didn't know they track you. How does that happen? Also, I'm grandfathered in so no $$.

I have one and installed it. My thoughts are this:
Pro's -Hell of a deal for $30 -It is small and clean looking. -Alert detection is good, false alerts are minimal compared to ring. -Picture quality is solid and frame rate is respectable. -Free 12 second clips via the cloud, no monthly fee if you just want motion alerts. Cons -No wired chime option, you use the provided chime and must bypass your wired one. -Currently it has a bug and CamPlus person detection/longer video etc is not supported even though it offers it, they are working on it, but if you sign up it locks you out of all playback. This will be resolved, but worth noting for anyone about to set it up. |
