Wired Video Intercom System, 7 Inches Video Doorbell Door Phone System, HD Camera Kits Support Unlock, Monitoring, Dual-Way Intercom for Villa Home Office Apartment

I needed a way to see who is at the front door but I did not want to put a viewer through the door. I also did not want to use a smartphone device because I don't always have my phone when I answer the door. I also have no need for seeing who is at my door when I am not home. This device is quite simple. When someone presses the doorbell, the screen is activated and shows you who is at the door. I mounted it right next to my front door. I did not want a battery powered camera because I will forget to change the batteries. This device is powered by a cord that plugs into the wall and attaches to the back of the screen. Another cord comes out of the back of the screen and goes to the back of the camera. Therefore for this to work you have to have someway to route a wire from the outside camera to the back of the screen and from the back of the screen to an electrical outlet. Fortunately, the screen is on a wall which is shared by the garage, so it was no problem to make a hole in the back of the screen and have it go through the wall into the garage. For the outdoor camera unit, I made a hole through the wall and routed the wire around the top of the door frame, then into the garage and then into the back of the camera. I am going into detail here because you need to give some thought about how the wires will be routed. The user manual is poorly written and the illustrations don't completely match the layout of the outlets on the back of the screen. But it was not too hard to figure out where to attach the two wires. I like this device because it is simple, it works, and it is a lot less expensive than a "Ring" type system. The system can support two screens from one camera and can also support a door unlocking device.

The outdoor unit is actually attractive and not too big and seems sturdy enough with the metal housing. The monitor is OK and that's where you connect the power, which in turn powers the camera. It comes with a cable, about 10' that will connect the camera/doorbell to the monitor. I ended up cutting this cable and connecting the leads to a 50' cat5 cable so I could place the units where I needed them. Be sure to get connectors to connect the leads to whatever cable you'll be using to extend. They do provide additional very short leads but these turned out to be less useful for my particular installation since the cat5 cable was thicker than the one provided and would not sit under the monitor. As it was, I used a pair of washers on each mounting screw to add further space between the back plate and the wall so there would not be too much pressure on the connector in the back of the monitor, since the cable had to run from the back of the unit along the wall. This would not be necessary if the cable ran inside the wall. The sound quality could be better - it's a little thin sound on both sides when speaking and it reminds me of a drive through. It's probably because the speakers are really tiny, kinda like a built in speaker in some 90's pc's. The camera does seem to have a wide angle lens which gives a good view of whoever is at the door and you can adjust contrast and color on the monitor. There are a variety of ring tones to choose from, but the sound again, is meh. But it is loud. Oh boy is it loud. It is a real doorbell. Luckily you have three settings - loud, louder and air raid. Setting the volume is a little tricky, so be sure to read the operation manual - which is another issue. The manual didn't appear to match the unit - particularly the monitor looked very similar, but not quite the same. However what you need it for is wiring and operating instructions. In this regard, the manual did not fail. I gave it five stars because the product delivered AT A REASONABLE PRICE POINT. However, there are not enough levels of adjustment for ring volume, the manual didn't match the pictures (...did I get the right product? ...the right manual?) the connectors in the back of the units mount perpendicular to the plane of the monitor (versus parallel which would reducing cable stress when cables are run ON and not IN the wall) and the sound quality is not great but it works. But if you can get around these issues and just need a straight up video doorbell with no wi-fi connectivity or anything else and you don't mind getting a little creative in the setup, this is a good little unit. Another plus is that you can add a second camera/door bell. Note that I'm not using the electronic door latch open function, which it also has.

The problem with door-to-door solicitors has gotten a lot worse in our neighborhood lately. We need to know and answer the door without using a cell phone. This system is simple, effective, and provides the perfect solution for my family. When someone rings the video doorbell outside the door, the video intercom monitor will chime and will display in real-time, a high quality video of the person whom we can clearly see and communicate with (via the display monitor) if we choose to. We have the system installed over 3 weeks now and it has never had any major issues. Both of the camera and the intercom monitor are well built with good quality material. IMHO, the system is well worth the money.

Works well.

This is like toy. The manufacturer has way to go to make this good product. It works less than 7 days and both front and indoor units stop working. During those few days it works, my daughters was calling it “self ringing bell “ keep ringing even no one is in the front. I hope the company is working to improve it.

My students love it. I like it interfaces with our other unit and our electric door locks.
