Saw an advert for this earlier, like the idea of it.

Anyone got one?

Thoughts?

I had one but returned it, I did not like the cloud based model.

I wanted to record to my NAS, and Ring does not do that.

I'm now considering a Doorbird.

It's a lot more expensive so would expect it to be better.

I do like the idea of it though at £180 odd.

Oh, and another important question...

If your phone is on silent, are the doorbell alerts silent as well? This would be very important for my wife who is a schoolteacher; it would be Very Bad Indeed if her phone rang during a lesson.

That's right, works like any other notification, you can change how you are alerted like you can a text message for example.

I like it, it works well, and I'm pretty sure it's already put off an opportunist looking for car keys as I caught him at 3am standing by the door (motion detection as he didn't press the bell). I asked him what he was up to and he legged it. House across the road broken into same night and their Golf R was taken. Would you believe that the police weren't interested in the footage!?
