Wyze - Wyze Video Doorbell (v1)

The original Wyze doorbell doesn’t have sd storage but the new one does, I have been thinking about upgrading but I can’t justify it because the old one still works fine it just doesn’t have local storage like all of my other Wyze cams

I had the Wyze doorbell launch edition. It was great for about a year and then I started having tons of problems with the cloud storage (which I started having to pay for and somehow got worse) I ended up the Wyze doorbell 2 which Has a MicroSD slot. It's been perfect for a couple years now and was like $50 for the video doorbell and chime module (hooks up to the factory chime box) I wish it supported the 110v wall wart chimes from the old one. I think I had to replace the SD card once but That's pretty minor.

The doorbell sucks, I hooked up outdoor cameras & a doorbell Pro, wireless doorbell. The others send notifications & events as their supposed to do, but the doorbell I'd more useless than a regular doorbell as far as smart event detecting or even event recording for all motion. We get nothing.  Their other cameras ain't bad but apparently they don't compare to wyzea doorbells *this doorbell roku has that is supposedly created & codes by wyze *originaly* doesnt come close to the 1st gen doorbells by wyze, so I'm  pretty sure their newer doorbells blow this roku doorbell away in comparison. I have used the 1st Gen wyze doorbells as regular security cameras placed up higher than a doorbell, where the outdoor cams should go & these record events 247 with no subscription,  they do way better with a subscription though, especially if you have any of the new ai models.  They have 1 camera that still sends the events to the Ai at wyze who then follows whatever protocol you set up for your events & the other one has AI on the camera & it acts immediately & can tell the difference between a passing a car & one pulling into a drive way or the difference with person walking by my house or one carrying a package to the door.  And will even tell you what kind of event they caught & recorded...Whereas roku can't even record events like the door being OPENED...so lame & mad I wasted her money on this whole system & prepaid a yr for it, now I gotta go pull them all down , order the same setup I have at home for her & find someone to take that subscription & it's crap equipment off our hands.  *sigh* 

Same, in addition to the wired doorbell cam.

Avoid Nest. Ring works, but I’ve also had a good experience with Wyze products. But any of these products depend on Internet connections to a Cloud server. You can increase reliability and lower costs with IP cameras and a small NVR.

Blink and Wyze have sd cards to record events. I’ve tried Wyze and Blink and prefer Ring with $9.99 subscription.

I use wyze cam doorbell with docker wyze bridge

We have a Wyze and are happy with it.

TP-Link's Kasa or Tapo devices are what you want. Get a large enough memory card and you'll have 24/7 recording for a month. Great quality video as well. I previously had Ring, Nest, and Wyze doorbell cameras, my Tapo doorbell camera is superior to those.
