Wyze - Wyze Video Doorbell v2

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. 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

Was coming here to suggest Wyze. We’re happy with our Pro v2. US-based company as well. SD records 24/7 and subscription is affordable if you choose to sign up (around $3/mos)

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.

I use wyze cam doorbell with docker wyze bridge

Used to have google/nest. Now have Wyze and happy.

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.

End of story. Reolink. If poor, then wyze. But get reolink.

Funny thing is that I have a full on 100% wyze setup and they are great. Reolink is just better, but wyze is fine. For the price actually it's really good.

Same. I do have one issue with the wyze bulb socket they refuse to fix but otherwise they work great!

Yep exactly. The problem is that you cannot control the lights independently of the camera. Setup is: Wyze switch Wyze lamp socket Wyze cam v3 The switch cannot turn on the lights without turning on the cameras. The switch cannot turn on the cameras without turning on the lights. The app says it can. It cannot. I saw a bunch of forum posts about this issue, so I'm not alone. Even troubleshot it with customer service, they agreed, they saw the forum posts... The still haven't fixed it. It's been probably 2+ years.

Wyze doorbell works well

Wyze is 100% subscription to be useful.

I had wyze for 8 years and a lot of devices. Wyze is worthless without AI detections for person/vehicle/pet/package/etc. You get countless alerts for "motion" of blowing leaves and shadows. Wyze is literally the only company that charges you for that while tapo, reolink, eufy offer it for free

From a practical point of view the Wyze doorbell and interior petcam we have have been great. It sounds like others might have some security concerns? So weigh the options I guess

Wyze is a small privately held American company and their products work well

Eufy or Wyze are my two go-tos

Wyze doorbell camera. Just use an sd card

We use the Wyze as a baby monitor. Works well, better picture than my ring doorbell, and it doesn’t have a service attached it to it, plus it is dirt cheap.

We have Wyze ones too - they work all winter long.
