Very classy and works well with others
There are a lot of features! Combine this with the door lock and you’ve got one heck of a set up!By the way, running this, it’s really Apple home and SmartThings. I am fairly certain it would be very seamless with Home Assistant because they have sort of an agreement to make it work wellIf you combine with the door locks, and maybe you don’t need them but you get to even have facial recognition. I’m learning more but there’s just a lot to it. My house is already pretty decked out and I’m really aiming for a very cohesive and professional look and layout. The idea is to sort of prove that you can have a system that is just as good and hopefully even better than some of the gold standard products where you actually need to pay the organization to set it up and they generally will build drivers for you if neededI’m running SmartThings along with Aqara, which does a great job hooking it up nicely to SmartThings and it forms a Zigbee to matter bridge. This video shows up on SmartThings nicely and maybe I can update more later on.Since I have Apple TV 4K, I went ahead and hooked everything up with that as well. It’s not my primary one but since my lock can open with NFC on my phone, I went ahead and hooked it up to Apple for that reason. But I can tell you that this runs seamlessly with Apple as well. Video shows up very nicely, etc.

Terrible Battery Life, Doesn’t Work Wired
I’ve never written an Amazon review before but felt compelled to warn others from making the same mistake I did. I’m coming up on 6 months of owning this thing and it’s been a frustrating mess of an experience.The doorbell “works” when on battery power, but you lose access to most of the features you’d actually want a smart doorbell for, and critically, you’ll have to budget for all the batteries you’re gonna be buying to keep this thing going. As other reviews note, this thing goes through batteries at a ridiculous pace. It’s 6 AA batteries every time you need to replace them, and even on the most restrictive power saving mode, where the thing is almost just a regular doorbell, it’ll still get nowhere near the advertised battery life.So wiring the thing would solve all problems right? You would think, considering Aqara says it’ll work with just about any transformer, almost any kind of voltage, AC, DC, no problem.Or so they say, it’ll work marvelously for about a week after you wire it, all the functions running and no more low battery spam. Then, it’ll simply just stop working. The doorbell consists of two parts: the actual doorbell, and a chime repeater you place inside the home that the doorbell wirelessly connects to. Some time after you go wired, it’ll stop connecting to the repeater, and the doorbell becomes a useless brick on your front door. The doorbell won’t ring, you won’t receive any alerts, and you can’t access the video feed.Go online and you’ll find hundreds of posts from other owners with the same issue after wiring the doorbell. Contact Aqara support and they’ll give you increasingly ridiculous suggestions to get it working again. Reset the doorbell, not working? Ok turn off night vision, no? Turn off accidental deletion protection, turn off tamper protection, and so on. One of these will magically fix it, which I suspect is merely coincidence, since you’ll get about another week before it’s broken again.Clearly something is wrong when using this thing on wired power, and Aqara either can’t figure it out or refuses to.In short, if you aren’t going to use wired power, and you’re ok with having a monthly battery budget just for your doorbell, then get this. Otherwise, look for a doorbell that actually works like it’s supposed to.

HomeKit enabled and easy to set up. Battery life not good, use hard wire power.
I really like this doorbell to be honest. I cannot give it 5 stars because the SIX AA batteries lasted only 48 hours. This caused me to go do some additional research and it seems I’m not the only one with this issue. The way I dealt with it without returning these was to run a 24vac adapter from the wall outlet to the doorbell and that has worked very well. Unfortunately I don’t have existing wiring (at least working wires) at this house and I’m not going to pay a bunch to instal it. But running the adapter wire worked well for me. So with that major caveat I will continue with everything I love about the doorbell.HomeKit compatibility is a must for us as we run a smart home with 80+ devices. We have 17 cameras and have tried lots of types from Blink to Eufy and some other hardwired older ones as well. I have been trying to slowly move toward only HomeKit enabled cameras for a while now, and Aqara is a brand I really appreciate. I have their door locks on both our exterior doors, and the G5 outside camera as well. The doorbells (aside from power issues) are fantastic additions to our camera collection and replaced the Blink doorbells we had previously. I will say, I never changed the two AA Blink doorbell camera batteries over the years, and they were detecting motion and recording all the time. So I’m not sure why Aqara’s 6 AA batteries couldn’t keep up. But I do appreciate that they sent those 6 batteries in the box, that was a nice gesture.The video is of good quality, and looks good both night and day. The tamper alarm works perfectly, I set it off myself when trying to adjust the mount. Aqara’s in app functions are helpful, though I prefer to use HomeKit for most of my interactions. From that perspective, the Aqara doorbells are definitely an upgrade from Blink, which for some reason refuses to integrate with HomeKit or Matter in general. Good on Aqara for prioritizing that, and I will be getting more cameras from Aqara in the future.Lastly, a small hint for Aqara. I got two of these, one for the front door and one for the back door. The fact that you can only pair the doorbell with the chime unit that it ships with is a little bit sad. I would have liked to have paired both doorbells with one of the chime units so I didn’t have to run and power two chime units for the same home. But that is a minor complaint. It doesn’t matter a whole lot other than having to power two of them at the same time, but it really does seem unnecessary given that I’m running the chimes though the HomePods all over our house anyway.

No suelo escribir reseñas pero si sirve de algo decir que… Funciona perfectamente con HomeKit, compré tarjeta de memoria y transformador para conectarlo a la corriente, (por cierto asegurarse que tiene que ser “DC” corriente continua), de momento y hasta que tenga tiempo para hacer la instalación lo estoy usando con pilas. El producto me tiene maravillado y creo ha sido un gran acierto. Vale su precio!!!

I bought two of these, one for the front and rear door. This has been a great little camera which records to a hub that is kept inside the house. I have mine set to record 24/7 and I get about 5-6 weeks of archival footage. Reviewing the video is very simple – basically just drag the timeline and once I stop scrolling it starts playing within a second or so.The “privacy” filter lets you set areas that are blacked out (which are not recorded and do not trigger motion), but it would have been nice if you could have defined motion tracking areas without blacking out areas for recording. This wasn’t really a problem and I only knew of this because I have other cameras that have this ability so I’m missing a feature that I didn’t really need, but as this is software issue, a future update could change this.I love that I can assign any audio recording as a custom “ringtone” to each doorbell. It makes it easy to determine who is at what door, or if you have audio editing skills you could add dogs barking in the background of a ring, etc. For fun, you could get a recording of a doorbell being rapidly pressed for a long while and if you secretly use that, a single press will make anyone at the door seem very rude. lolMy only complaint is the camera slides onto the wall mounting bracket and a single screw holds it in place to keep it from sliding off, except that screw is on the right side of the doorbell/camera. This means if the doorbell is placed just to the left of your door trim, the trim could block your access to that screw. For my one doorbell/camera I could only mount it very close to the door trim so I had to either remove the trim or as I did, I custom made a very tiny angled screw bit to get to the screw. They should have put the screw on the bottom.Update: have had almost a year. Had an SD card for bit it wasn’t camera’s fault. Once replaced it started going again. I use old doorbell power, not batteries so it just works. There are a couple weeks in the year where for 15 minutes a day I get a lot of false messages when the sun is in the perfect spot, so wish android app had a pause notifications for just a few minutes. I have in both front and back doors and both record 24/7. Only issue with units is the backdoor sometimes has a 10 second delay from when you push the button to when it rings. Doesn’t happen on front door. This has been more reliable than any previous doorbell cam and it didn’t require a subscription. Would buy again.

Objectivement un produit fantastique que je recommande à tous, surtout et surtout pour ce prix.Compatible Apple Homekit, qualité d’image incroyable, reconnaissance faciale assez efficace (bien qu’il ne reconnaisse pas ma femme sans maquillage) et possibilité de parler à distance.Si je ne devais remonter que deux points un temps soit peu négatif :- Possibilité de l’alimenter par pile ou en direct, mais si en direct il vous faudra un petit transformateur (220 à 9 de mémoire), ça ne coûte rien (4 à 8€) et c’est petit, mais ça nécessite un espace vide tout de même et c’est à prévoir- Si vous êtes deux et qu’une personne sonne, vous recevrez tous deux une notification et serait peut être amené à parler en même temps, créant une cacophonie, rien ne préviendra que vous parler à deux en même temps sauf la tête d’incompréhension de votre interlocuteurMais ce sont de faux problèmes, le produit reste top !Il semble que la reconnaissance faciale puisse s’allier avec la serrure intelligente de la marque, j’aimerais tester mais je n’y suis pas encore.

Da tempo ho voluto trasferire la mia domotica sull’ecosistema Apple. In particolare, per il videocitofono mi ero indirizzato sul prodotto Netatmo. Purtroppo questo brand si è rivelato estremamente inaffidabile e sono andato incontro a continui “sganciamenti” dell’apparecchio. Ho investito soldi su un access point esterno ma non è cambiato nulla. Temo che della scarsa qualità del prodotto Netatmo se ne sia accorta la stessa azienda, che l’ha tolto dalla produzione. “Digerito” il anno economico, dopo un po’ di approfondimenti in rete, mi sono orientato sul prodotto Aqara. Devo dire una esperienza completamente diversa. Il setup è stato velocissimo, il tempo maggiore è andato via per il montaggio. Attenzione perchè il videocitofono si connette alla vostra rete wi fi attraverso il modulo suoneria, che quindi è un vero e proprio “bridge”. Quest’ultimo si connette al videocitofono con il protocollo radio zigbee, quindi deve trovarsi – ovviamente all’interno dell’abitazione – a distanza non superiore a 5 metri dal videocitofono. Verificate quindi se avete la possibilità di questo setup, io l’ho poggiato sul mobile tv in cucina a poca distanza dall’ingresso. Il videocitofono va a pile (quindi potete montarlo da soli) mentre il modulo suoneria ha una presa usb c, con cavetto annesso USB A – USB C, quindi potete collegarlo ad un vecchio alimentatore del cellulare come ho fatto io. Se volete connettere il videocitofono alla rete considerate che va a 12-24 volt, quindi serve un trasformatore (meglio rivolgersi ad un elettricista in questo caso).
