I'm sorry if this has already been covered, but I couldn't find anything in the search.

My parents are in their 80s and they want to install a video door bell.

We bought a Ring Doorbell2 and were so unimpressed that we took it back.

The app didn't pop up on the phone or tablet as we were lead to believe it would and the volumes were no good at all.

My Father has quite poor hearing, so was struggling to hear what the person at the door was saying, despite the settings on Max.

Can anyone recommend a video doorbell that:

1. Is easy to set up and use by an octogenarian.
2. Loud enough to hear what the person outside the door is saying.

An App function is not a necessity, a stand alone screen in the house is fine.

Any help appreciated before father goes onto Amazon and buys the cheapest/most overpriced POS that "sounds good"

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't very clear.

The biggest issue was the intercom volume was very poor.

My father was struggling to hear the person at the front door as the volume wasn't very good, even for me to hear.

Thanks

That might be an option but he really wanted a video camera, too.
