Tip : after installing camera you point a QR code in front of it to register device. The instructions don’t make it clear you have to ring the doorbell and hold the QR code in front of the camera at the same time. After that registering was easy. A lot easier than registering the @mcrest doorbell that died after 2 years and was unreliable.
The biggest thing I love about this camera is the display is set up for 4 x 3 not widescreen 16 x 9. This has a much better field of view for us to see visitors at our door. The fisheye lens shows more but can be disabled in settings for a more straight on view.
This doorbell has 4 gig of internal storage included. No need to buy a micro SD card. The video and pics are 1080p and good quality. You can adjust how sensitive the motion detection is and even move lines around to create a custom zone. Only movement inside the zone you create will set off an alert.
I had to bypass my mechanical doorbell and have all power from the doorbell transformer go directly to the camera. I plugged in the included auxillary doorbell close to our front door. The app lets you change the ring chime and even the volume.
If you want a security doorbell camera but hate paying monthly fees this is the one for you. There is an option to pay for cloud video storage but it’s not required at all. So far this is the best no monthly fee doorbell I’ve ever owned. Highly recommend.

Started out reliable, now, not so much. **Updated 11/30/2022
**Update 11/30/2022 - 13 months after purchaseYeah, big negative on this product. It only deserves a 1 star and that is being gracious. This thing has become so unreliable on detecting movement that we end up silencing/turning off notifications more than we leave them on. Sure, the ability to pull up the camera and watch it is great but not the reason anyone would buy this. It's to catch movement in case something happens. I've done everything Eufy has asked me to do to try to get it to work (rearrange my porch, create custom zones on the camera, sent them data, etc) and none of it has done squat for detection accuracy and reliability.**Update - 10 months later:I've contact Eufy twice over this time to try and work on getting my motion detection issues figured out and resolved. After sending the data they requested and doing some troubleshooting, they decided to send me a new unit at no charge. They even let me wait to return my old one until after the new on arrived so that I wouldn't be without some kind of camera/doorbell.I swapped the units out and, unfortunately, my motion detection issues persisted. They finally recommended that I clear out some flower pots/stands I had within view of the camera and that did help a good bit but I still get false detection's, motion not picked up but I will say that it's not as frequent. I'm not really happy that I have to rearrange my porch to suit the camera. I've since put the flower pots back where they were and am just dealing with it.I also inquired if they would ever add a wedge-like option to allow vertical tilting of the camera for people, like me, who have vinyl plank siding. (see image) They offer a 15 degree wedge to allow the camera to be tilted horizontally, which works great but nothing for the vertical angle. As a result of the camera being slightly tilted up, I can't see the immediate area around the base of my door.Despite these issues, it is still a very decent device that is worth the price. Their support has been pretty good, which is hard to come by these days, so that does help to offset some minor shortcomings of the device.Unfortunately, I will not ever even consider any of their larger video surveillance products because everything comes in that horrid white. The doorbell comes in black, which is great, but everything else is shiny white. So until they decide to offer black in more of their product line, count me out.-----------Original Review---------------Purchased 11/4/2021: First installed it and it was great with the motion detection but now, it seems everything BUT actual motion from people (deliveries, guests) triggers it. So the confidence in this product is severely waning. I've played with the settings to tweak it but nothing is really getting close to how it was when it was first installed. So I dont know if they changed the software or what has happened to it but it's a little disappointing.I do like the build of the product and the fact that all the recordings are contained within the device and not the cloud.They provided a 15 degree angled plate that you could mount the camera on if you wanted it to be a little more biased to one side or another. This foresight would have been great if they provided a similarly angled plate for people who have plank style aluminum siding. Because of the plank side that is angled, the camera sites tilted slightly up and just looks like a sloppy install job. I've considered a 3D print job from a friend but haven't gotten around to it.I won't buy again for my other doors that need camera surveillance and might end up swapping this one out for a different one.

Great value for this item
I didn't want to review this product until some time passed. I absolutely love this product and recommended it to several of my friends who also bought it. I love that there are no subscription fees. The image quality is very good and it was easy to install. My husband installed two other doorbells in addition to ours. He had problems with installing one but it had to do with the internet at the house. He then set it up at our house and brought it back to our friends and it worked perfectly and continues to do so. The motion detection works well. The sound quality is very clear too and the doorbell chime can even be changed for birthdays and holidays. While there aren't that many selections compared to other brands, I find it adequate since that's not it's main purpose. It does that exactly what it says it does. The only thing we've noticed, which is like other reviews is that there is a small lag on the connected devices such as phone. It rings a minute or so later. I don't see that as a huge deal but there is a slight delay. I love this camera that I bought another and am looking for more to build an entire security system.CroMamaGreat value for this item
