Wyze - Duo Cam Doorbell

Lots of options out there and lots of good quality products across brands. I personally have Wyze doorbells. I'm also in the Wyze ecosystem for lots of other things, so it works for me. I have 5 of their v2 doorbells and one of their new Duo Doorbells. The Duo has two cameras (one points down at your doormat, essentially. Do I need it? Probably not, but pretty neat. All of them have a local SD card installed for 24x7 recording. No subscription required, but I do also pay for the Cam Plus Unlimited subscription for the AI detection and cloud recordings to supplement the SD cards. The v2 doorbell is around $45. The Duo is new and is around $90. The Duo comes with a WiFi chime. The v2 does not come with a chime, but they can ding the WiFi chime that came with the Duo. They can all also ding your mechanical chime if you have one. And of course you can alert G Home or Echo devices and also your phones.

Wyze is expensive? The v2 doorbell is $45. The new Duo is $90. You can use both without a subscription.

Wyze is. It perfect but best I’ve used for free I have both wired v2 and wirelsss / both rock solid for staying up and recording and voice /sound / alerts

Wyze has been flawless for me and latest model can do either wired or wireless. And dual person / package cameras. [Wyze Duo](https://www.wyze.com/products/wyze-duo-cam-doorbell)Local SD and cloud options.

I think Wyze is love or hate for people on this sub.. but I have a bunch of their cameras, including the Doorbell Duo, because I think they have a great price-to-quality ratio. There is an optional subscription that gives extra features, but they work just fine without it.

Try the Wyze duo cam. I love it. Works great

Doorbell works perfectly fine with Frigate. I've had mine going for 2+ years. There were some reolink issues historically (and I've had some issues with my Duo 2) but the doorbell is not an issue in Frigate or BI.

My TL;DR: Given a choice between a Wyze anything and a Nest I would go with Google. Longer: Used a Nest doorbell and external cam for seven years. Sold my home. Bought a new one that already had a Wyze smart lock and Doorbell cam with remote doorbell. I kept the smart door lock and upgraded to the current Wyze dual camera door cam. I also subscribed to the Wyze service. While the hardware is lovely, the software from Wyze is terrible. The doorbell after being in market for some time doesn’t tell with th smart lock. It routinely misses “events” it has no 24x7 recording feature so you can’t just scroll back in the timeline to missed events. The doorbell chimes are all mid and you can’t upload or use your own or program it. The integration with smart home stuff both HomeKit and Google home are terrible in that they frequently fail to connect. Finally it has lost connectivity when I go to check it at least once a month th over the past six months. The Wyze is a waste of money and effort. The Google stuff may not be ideal, but it at least always worked as expected and even without paying for the service you still had a few hours of content to line you could scroll back to. Which was really necessary because it n ver failed to pick up people or events.

Were you able to resolve this issue? I am having a similar problem, the mechanical chime is sounding at specific times (maybe related to unknown automations) and with certain notification (motion for car lights at night). Edit: I spoke with Wyze support. The only way to use the Duo & manual chime is if you are upgrading from the V2 doorbell with an “chime support” component. It is only available when you hit the V2 bell and not sold separately. https://preview.redd.it/qc4gsdapkzae1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb30c27189b92152dcf70cbf86f23ff843194e60

I use wyze cam doorbell with docker wyze bridge

We have a Wyze and are happy with it.
