Video Door Bell
 

Can anyone recommend a video door bell that doesn't require any wiring and easy to install please?

Thanks.

Eufy

Another vote for Eufy. Depending on what functionality you want then if you go the eufy route you may need a a Homebase and also you may depending on where you’re mounting it need an increased angle wedge.

I have the Ring View Cam which replaces a peep hole which is good cuz most of the electronics are inside the house. Most battery doorbell cams can be easily stolen

Re: Video Door Bell
 

I don't have a Eufy doorbell but I do have a couple of Eufy cameras and they're excellent.
As for doorbells I use Aosu (off Amazon). Cheaper (and arguably more reliable) than Ring, easy to set up and works really well. It also has an anti theft alarm.

Can anyone link me to any please?

Thanks.

https://en-uk.ring.com/products/door-view-cam this is what I have. The reason I prefer this model is it fits through the door with the battery on the inside of the house. A lot of the models can have the battery removed by just removing a tiny screw on the bottom

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Can anyone provide links on Amazon or Currys etc where I can buy what they recommend? Thanks.

I just want one that's good quality, easy to setup with no electrical wiring like some ring doorbells require.

Mine is a couple of years old so no longer available, but this looks like the current equivalent:

I have a ring 3 doorbell. Decent quality. Runs off a rechargeable battery.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Have Ring even I could set it up ! Got second battery for it so never out of use.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

I bought a Blink doorbell with the sync box 2.

no subscription required, I can review all clips remotely.

Batteries last about a year.

I have a white LED streetlight and as such I don't need to use the IR on the camera

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Used to have Ring, but when they put the subs up to £4.99 a month (from £2.99 a couple of years ago), I moved to the back of the house as a movement sensor/video cam (no clips stored), and replaced it with Blink Cam on the front of the house, and the clips are stored (as an option, you can still store them to the cloud for a sub) on a base unit with a USB memory stick - no monthly subs.

Update - just saw that Hom3r was posting the same thing at the same time...

Re: Video Door Bell
 

I've been looking on Amazon and the 2 brands I've narrowed it down to are either blink or iegeek.

Just wondered on members recommendations on these brands here.

Thanks.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

blink all the way, get it with the sync 2 module, you will never need a paid sub.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

I have this setup. My only grumble with it is the lack of compatible chime. It's linked to the Echo dot in the kitchen, which is fine if within earshot, and also my phone - which is fine if it's not on silent. But it's definitely not as practical as having a high-pitch, standalone chime in the hallway that can be heard anywhere in the house.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

I get round this by using our old standard doorbell (which has a speaker in the hall, and can be heard throughout the house), and a Blink camera next to it.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Don't have video, don't have a doorbell. If anyone wants my attention , they can knock on the door politely and wait. I might or might not respond. Bit old fashioned I know ;)

Re: Video Door Bell
 

And you could always get the butler to snap a few candid daguerrotypes of any miscreants lurking around the doorway in your absence. :D
In all seriousness they are really useful and most seem to work pretty well.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

That was one of the reasons I changed to ring. Didn't want to go down the echo route . Not bothered about the annual sub to record everything :rolleyes: can hear bell in most of the house.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Well I revieved the doorbell and low and behold its faulty.

I set the cam up and it logs onto my Wifi thats fine, during the process then it requires u to scan a QR code on the cam from the phone screen, it scans and plays and very nice tune and then spends 2 and half mins attempting to find the camera and fails.

I tried 22 times and failed so i will send it back for something else, can anyone suggest one with easy setup? Im now deteriorating and not as mentally with it when it came to IT as i once was and Georgie just doesnt have a clue.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Some doorbells can only use 2g wifi and get confused if there's a 5g signal there as well. Does your setup have 2g and 5 g separate? if not that may be one option. Personally I'd send it back and get the Blink offering (or possibly Aosu which I have found to be really reliable).

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Yes 2g and 5g are seperate, it even asks you to choose the network u want to choose and the network password.

Im thinking of buying this Blink one.....

Along with this blink flash drive......

Re: Video Door Bell
 

Looks a good price. As long as you can definitely store the footage locally on the flash drive you won't have to go down the subscription route once the free trial ends.

Re: Video Door Bell
 

When I was looking you needed an echo smart thingy to hear the bell , didn't want one. Mine found and uses my virgin WiFi could use the "door bell" WiFi if I so choose. Very happy with it .Good luck with what ever you go with:cool:

Re: Video Door Bell
 

I got the blink one with a 64gb flash drive and blink mini cam to use as a chime for the door bell. So far so good.

:tu: Hope it behaves for you.
