WYZE Wired Doorbell Camera v2(existing doorbell Wiring Required), 2K Security Video Doorbell, Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Package Monitor, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant. Free Expert Setup

Fantastic doorbell camera. Tons of options and settings. Picture quality is top notch.
Works perfectly. As long as you follow the instructions step by step, the install will be smooth. Programming through the app was smooth and there’s a ton of options. Love that you can add a memory card and store the footage locally. The video quality is crystal clear and you won’t have any issues seeing what you need to see. The night vision is fantastic as well.There is a free subscription that offers limited access to the apps options but you can still get everything you need from it. The paid subscription isn’t really necessary but even if you want it, it’s ridiculously cheap. The paid subscription adds AI for helping with categorizing the motion and doorbell events into categories like people, vehicle, pet, etc. And you get unlimited notifications of motions and doorbell events. The free subscription uses a 5 minute cooldown between notifications.I highly recommend this doorbell camera. It’s just been dependable and worked perfectly since day one.

Not for Security
I purchased my first Wyze camera in ‘22; that camera no longer works consistently. I was pleased with the actions of that camera so I purchased five more in December 22 and had them installed outside my house in January 2022. Within 10 days, the new shed camera went off-line. I quickly learned one of the main drawbacks of these cameras: you have to access the camera to put it back online. So up to the top of my 15 foot ladder I went. It took a while, but I was able to get the camera back online. It stayed connected for about three days before going off-line again. I left it off-line for about a month before repeating the process. The shed camera no longer works because it will not connect. It recorded video for roughly 4 weeks over a span of five months.One of the cameras purchase was a Zoom camera. It does a great job of zooming, it is crisp. But again, I can’t get it to stay online. Therefore, I had to remove it from where it was installed and place it within easier reach. This defeats the purpose of it being a security camera because everyone has easy access to it. There was a period of time last fall when the cameras began acting correctly, after switching to Fios. (Thought the shed cam was just a fluke.), In August ‘24, purchased 2 doorbell cameras and the vacuum in January’25. All three of those products seemed to work at first. But one of the doorbell cameras has not worked since April; it’s now, August. Even after unplugging and restarting, it does not work. The vacuum cleaner which is superior to IRobots, began going off-line in the first month, just like all of their other products. I contacted customer service, but was unable to get any thing to work. Of course they no longer support any of the cameras that I purchased.Wyze knows, that the business of going off-line is a major problem. Before you even consider purchasing this, read the reviews on Reddit and other websites. Longtime users, such as myself are not happy with these cameras. Everything has a lifespan of one to two years, if you’re lucky.For the doorbell cameras, very similar to Ring, by the time the doorbell has rung & it comes up on your phone, the person has probably already left. It takes a good 20 to 30 seconds. At this point when someone rings the doorbell it doesn’t even show up on my phone.I’ve had two incidents where I really needed to have security cameras that work. The farmer next-door decided to spray fertilizer pellets while myself and 10 others stood outside my house talking. We were probably 15 feet from the field, but those fertilizer pellets sprayed 50 to 60 feet beyond the field. Neither of the two doorbell cameras nor three cameras pointed towards the field picked up nine people running and ducking for cover behind cars, while being pelted with hard pellets just a bit smaller than BB!!!‘s. I braved the barrage, jumping up and down and waving my arms trying to get him to stop and notice what was happening. This went on for approximately four minutes and NONE of the cameras recorded these events. I really needed the video so that the farmer could see how long I tried to get his driver to stop, how people were laying down behind cars in my yard, etc. Instead, I had to rely on my phone camera, showing cars covered in fertilizer, after the event. On the second event, someone did donuts in my yard the doorbell camera that no longer comes online and the front yard camera did not pick any of this up. As a matter of fact, they didn’t even pick up a DoorDash driver dropping food off on the front porch in front of the doorbell.I wish I could have the $800+ that I invested.I absolutely do not recommend Wyze doorbells, or any other Wyze products. While they look good at first, the technology is low quality; security cameras that go off-line and cannot self reboot are not security cameras.

With the good experience I have with the Wyze cameras, I was keeping an eye out for the Wyze doorbell. Unfortunately, the older models did not fit my requirements so I have not bought one. Grabbed one when this came out.I connected it wired, as I have an existing wired analog doorbell. My previous veideo doorbell was able to use the analog chime I had, so when I connected this, it also was able to use the old analog chime. I did not have to plug in an extra chime, nor did I have to worry about batteries or charging the unit.And since it is Wyze, it shares the same app wuth the Wyze cameras. So, no learning curve there.A lot of people who owns cameras or doorbells all say their units are clear and detailed. I find that Wyze still is the best bang for the money. Yes, there are a few that are better, but priced 2x or 3x as much, and for very little improvement. I have both 7 different brands before I settled with Wyze. Those brands fell short in clarity and detail.

This have 24v only beware

Didn’t need to subscribe, I’m alright without the extra features. Recording to SD card is OK, motion detection is OK, managed to reuse my existing mechanical chime, and possibly HomeKit integration would be possible later. Only thing not so good for me is that RTSP support is not built-in. But overall it’s still a good value doorbell cam.
