WYZE Doorbell Camera v2, 2K Security Video Doorbell with Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, 24/7 Video Recording*, Package Monitor, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant, Wired. Free Expert Setup

Our previous video doorbell by LaView quit working, so I started looking for another video doorbell that would fit our needs without breaking the bank. I have to say that this Wyze video doorbell exceeded my expectations. Installing it was quite easy (since I I had done the previous doorbell). Unlike some who have complained about the doorbell module, I didn't have any issues installing it on my mechanical doorbell per the step-by-step online instructions, and it works perfectly fine. The video quality far surpasses the old LaView doorbell, and the fact that I can see color at night (night vision is off) is a great bonus. In fact, it works so well at night with the night vision turned off, that I can even see the homes across the street in color in the dark. The field of view also works well for our purposes...we can see our entire front porch. I am using an SD Card for storage (not the cloud services), and that is also working fine so far. The only concern I have is that this doorbell doesn't have any type of anti-theft protection, but that is not an issue in our neighborhood.The two-way communications also work great...we were at dinner one evening and a neighbor rang the doorbell. The app on my phone notified me, and I was able to quickly bring up the app and have a conversation with them while 10 miles away from the house. They could hear us fine, and we could see them, and the sound quality was like a regular phone call.I consider the Wyze Video Doorbell an excellent value and will certainly consider their other products in the future.

I gotta say, for the price, this little Wyze doorbell punches above its weight. Setup had a few hiccups — have had to reset my router and flip my breaker box twice in the last 2 weeks (not kidding) — but once I got it dialed in, it’s been awesome. I think issues may have been from adding new cams to the system... But I prefer Wyze because they're cheap, local, adjustable and I don't mind a little DIYThe 2K video looks great, notifications are fast enough, and the live view loads pretty quick. I use it daily, and it works fine with my other Wyze cams. Is it perfect? Nope. But for thirty bucks, I’m not complaining. It looks sleek, the blue ring is super clean, but also goes stealth mode really well (can turn off the lights on it) and you can barely tell that its a smart doorbell cam.Was easy to mount and install, and the chime works great - but most of all really good at sensitive smart detection and alerting me when people are at the front door.If you’re cool with a little DIY troubleshooting (which imho is all cams these days really), it’s 100% worth it.

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.

The Wyze doorbell was easy to install and works great with the app. The video is sharp during the day and still clear at night, which helps me keep an eye on deliveries and visitors. I like that the doorbell shows a full view from head to toe, including packages on the ground. The motion alerts come in quickly, and the two-way audio is clear without any lag.The doorbell looks sleek, fits well by my front door, and feels solid. I didn’t need any extra tools to install it, and the app made everything simple to set up. Overall, it’s a good option if you want smart features without paying premium prices. It works well and gives peace of mind.
