Wyze - Wyze Video Doorbell (v1)

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

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.

Same, in addition to the wired doorbell cam.

We have a Wyze and are happy with it.

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.

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.

I changed out all my Nest cameras and doorbell with Wyze and do like them. You can see the live views of the cameras in Google Home on Android, but it is very slow to load. The Wyze app works a lot better and you would need that to view historic clips. I do occasionally view the live feeds from my Google hub displays and it usually connects withing a few seconds. I can also control turning cameras on and off via Home or Hubitat.
