Description

Get in touch directly with the visitor in front of your door with the Skybell Trim Plus Alu. Connect this aluminum doorbell to your existing 12-volt wiring at the front door. Thanks to the integrated camera, you can see who's at your door via the app on your smartphone (iOS and Android) without opening the door. The integrated microphone and speaker ensure that you not only see your visitors, but interact with them as well. From anywhere in the world no less. The HD camera has a viewing angle of 180 degrees, so you'll always have a sharp and wide image. This also applies when it's dark. The motion sensor detects movements and sends you a push notification while your visitor hasn't even pressed the button. With a size of 12.1x3.6cm, this smart doorbell fits on every frame.

high-tech bell with very good image

very nice images, also in color at night
easy to install
works with old analog bell
scheduling old bell could be useful

I have been using the Skybell HD trim for 3 weeks now

The device gives a very nice image, even at night everything is in color and clearly visible. Camera works with 1080P but the recorded images are not, they are 1280x720. however, the image is significantly better than 1280x720. This was probably done to limit the upload bandwidth You can switch the motion detector on/off and set the sensitivity to 3 positions from sensitive to less sensitive. in practice, this means that the camera is sensitive to movement from far (a car drives past) to less sensitive, which means close and ensures that you get fewer incorrect messages.

app is easy to operate and you can give multiple residents access to the bell (1 administrator, the rest users) all images are uploaded to the cloud for FREE and you can view/download yours up to 7 days back

Installing the bell is relatively easy.

Do you now have an analog bell (ding/dong, or tring) old bell off, new skybel on. replace old AC adapter with new DC adapter Your old bell will work right away and you can even switch it on and off in the app.

Very useful if you don't want to be disturbed anymore or if you don't want your children to wake up if someone still rings the doorbell in the evening.

how does the Skybell HD work with your old doorbell. The plus of the adapter first goes to the Skybel, then to your old doorbell (that thing that makes noise) and then to the minus of your adapter. the moment you press the skybell and you have the old doorbell switched on in the app, it will shorten itself. This will send all the voltage to your old doorbell ringing) This works exactly as it should and very easily.

However, this operation becomes a problem if you don't have a doorbell or you now have a digital doorbell

Do you have a digital doorbell (the kind with melodies) or your doorbell is already on a DC adapter, then you have to pay attention. You then need an extra PCB (which you have to buy) that ensures that the digital gong rings when the push button on the skybel is pressed.

However, if you connect the Skybell HD and remove the old doorbell (the thing that makes the sound), you even need an extra resistance of 10 ohms/10 Watts. This is too difficult for most people.

Different sites in the Netherlands all give different advice. One site says replace AC adapter with DC adapter, the other site says no. One site says that you can only use the skybell with the DC adapter and that you have to remove your old doorbell.

This advice is not complete and I would therefore not look at it. My explanation above is correct.

So my advice If you currently have an analog doorbell connected to an AC transformer (this is the most commonly used setting in the Netherlands), the Skybell HD is an excellent choice.

Do you have something else and you are technically no problem. If you have something else and you are not technical, I would let this high tech bell shoot

Review is 6,7 out of 10.

Would have liked a little more security conscious for consum

Illuminated doorbell is nice to see, especially that you can adjust the RGB LED.
Audio quality is clear from the "talking doorbell"
Video is of good quality.
You are/will remain dependent on the cloud services that are offered. No functioning device without service. i

I bought this product thinking I could do a little more with home security. In my opinion, the needs, security and privacy of the end user should have been taken into account much more. The device is easy to tear off the wall. It is also easy to reset the device from the outside. If you want to "look" for a while, you can't go unnoticed because a bright white LED immediately switches on that cannot be turned off in the settings (manufacturer indicates that this is to be able to see colors in the dark). The images are stored in the "cloud" and you are/will become dependent on this service. I think the manual is more of an advertising brochure. Then google it to see if there is a good manual and how to connect it. Turns out there's a ton of information out there about the "Skybell HD", all the less about the "Skybell Trim plus". I have a digital "speaker bell" and not an "electro-mechanical". Then it becomes really difficult, a resistor of 10 Ohm 4 Watt would be needed (not included) that would have to be placed between the power supply, otherwise the warranty would become void. It was only after logging into the skybell servers (cloud) that I saw that there was an option to set up a digital or mechanical bell.

wifi doorbell with all desired functionalities

easy installation
good picture, even at night
replaces a doorbell button without replacing the mechanical inner bell
app can improve a bit

Easy to install wifi doorbell. Replaces the doorbell button while retaining the mechanical inner bell. All check whether your doorbell transformer can supply 12V 1A and whether you have a sufficiently strong signal at your front door. With the app you can temporarily switch off the indoor bell, view the images from the camera and use the skybell as an intercom. Viewing recorded images does require a bit of patience.

TIP: first connect the skybell to your computer with a mini-USB cable. You can then configure the skybell before disconnecting the existing bell. This trick is not in any manual!
