Description

With the Skybell HD doorbell, you can talk to any visitor at your door through your smartphone or tablet. Download the free app (iOS and Android) to see who's at your front door on the screen of your device. It works through the integrated HD camera in the doorbell. When a visitor holds his or her finger in front of the doorbell button, you receive an alert on your smartphone or tablet. The doorbell works via WiFi, so you'll receive your alerts anywhere. Thanks to the integrated microphone and two-way audio, you're in direct contact with your visitor. The doorbell also has an integrated motion detector that you can set up to send an alert whenever someone is in front of your door. Take pictures, record videos, and store them in the cloud (at no extra charge).

Note: The app is only available in English.

Review is 7,3 out of 10.

Very functional video doorbell, installation moderate

small and
price compared to other video intercoms
great picture and sound
Installation difficult due to virtually no space for wiring

The design is fairly universal, but the other competitors did not appeal to me at all. Good WiFi connection is really necessary. (possibly extra Wifi-AP provided inside the hall, for example) I had an expensive (audio) intercom, but I finally removed it. It couldn't really stand the rain. Compared to 'professional' intercoms, the wall mounting is not of the better quality. There are bigger holes in the Skybell (probably for sound) but not really IPX4 in my opinion. The confirmation is simple. But no space is provided for extra installation convenience when connecting the wires. If you work without an external doorbell, you have to install a resistor next to the power supply yourself. Not so obvious for everyone. If you work with an electronic ding/dong, you must install an extra interface with your ding/dong. You expect a doorbell to last for years. I doubt he will make it. In any case, I'm going to look for a rain cover and an extra mounting plate against the wall to better hide my wires. In a year or so I'll be able to tell you if the Skybell still works. But it's doing a fine job now. Sound and picture are fine. The motion detector also responds well. So currently very OK.

Review is 6,7 out of 10.

Android app not good enough

Very wide viewing angle
free one week online storage
also at night color image
an existing bell (gong) is required, or a 10 ohm . resistor

Because it had free online storage, I chose this one. This works well and you get a nice overview of the detected moments (doorbell or movement). However, you get the default notification tone of your android device. So you never know if someone is actually at the door or if an email comes in... This can be solved by downloading the old version of the android app and sideloading it (main reason why I returned this product). After installation I did not get it online. And there is no clear manual, the website is also limited. The help forum was clearer, and the helpdesk responded very quickly. This problem was solved by bad contact during assembly. So you must already have a bell hanging to use this product (this is also the case with the nest hello), even if you set the app in the app that it should not go off. Placing a resistance of 10 ohms between them also solves this problem.

The angle of view is very large, ideal, but because of the straight mounting on the wall, the entire street was also visible to me, so I got a notification every time a truck drove by. Setting sensitivity per zone is not possible with this cam.

Just after my purchase, the Nest Hello was released, which is technically better (but also more expensive, especially if you want to save online)

Meanwhile, I switched to a cheap wireless push button connected to my home automation, and a cheap china webcam (xiaomi mijia 1080p). By combining these I have a cheaper, reliable solution.
