Amcrest 1080P Video Doorbell Camera Pro, Outdoor Smart Home 2.4GHz WiFi Doorbell Camera (Wired Power), MicroSD Card, PIR Motion Detect, RTSP, IP55 Weatherproof, 2-Way Audio, 140º Wide-Angle AD110-SH

Decent for the price.
Installation was fairly easy. The instructions themselves however don’t mention any voltage, whether it’s AC or DC power, whether a chime is hooked up on the other end, or anything else. It would be nice if this was present in the getting started docs to ensure compatibility.The faceplate has to be taken off to access the buttons or SDcard slot. With the faceplate off, they are not obvious, they are on the right side of the unit and there isn’t much in the way of markings. I missed them until I read the manual. This may be intentional such that thieves don’t steal your SD card or something, but doesn’t help with ease of use. I often set up things like this without instructions. This may also pose a problem if your doorbell is butted up against a wall to the right.The instructions had me download the Amcrest Smart Home app, and “follow the instructions in the app setup”. Upon installing the app on Android, I gave it the permissions it requested, but there were no other setup “instructions” to follow, it just dropped me at a login screen. I tried to use the FB login method at the bottom, and it gave a Facebook error saying “App not active. This app is not accessible right now and the app developer is aware of the issue. You will be able to log in when the app is reactivated.”, so I would avoid the Facebook login.Upon registering manually via email and logging into the app, I poked around and looked at the Account tab. I noticed that under my profile picture it had a name of “E7499”. At no point had it asked me to set up a name, so I found it odd it just assigned me random characters. Just ask me to set up my name. I had to go change it myself, not sure if it’s the name of my account or the name of the doorbell device, so I assumed it was me and made it my username. When I went to save the username, the “save” icon is some weird checkmark circle icon I’ve never seen before, so just know that means “Save”.Finally I went to the Home tab and clicked Add Device. It prompted me to scan a QR code, which I had not seen anywhere. It mentioned looking on the faceplate of the device, and I eventually found it on the body of the device UNDER the faceplate after the faceplate had been removed. I assume some people may not even remove the faceplate before attempting setup and this would confuse them, so be sure to remove it.After that, device setup was smooth and pretty easy, so props there. It is worth noting and It would have been helpful for the wifi selection UI to mention that only 2.4Ghz networks are supported, as a lot of people use 5Ghz or even 6Ghz networks nowdays. However, the Amazon listing does mention this prominently as well, so I also give this a pass.The rest of the setup continued to be smooth. For the timezone, I selected Arizona as I live there, and we have our own timezone and do not have daylight savings at any time of the year. Most apps will disable “DST” automatically and gray it out when the Arizona timezone is selected, but this app did not – hopefully it works fine. I continued on and did a cloud upgrade of the firmware. This was also straightforward and worked fine.They have a 1 year free trial of their cloud storage for video which has a rolling time frame, I think of 7 days if I recall correctly. It does require a credit card so you may get a mystery charge in a year if you forget to cancel it. The pricing was fairly reasonable for this service, however, and a 1 year trial is good and lengthly, which offsets some of the increased cost for this vs similar products.Video was clear, and motion detection and zoning works well.The operation of the doorbell since has been fairly straightforward, works as advertised. Note that the power draw is higher than I would like. I tried to run it off a USB power bank rather than doorbell power, and it killed it within 24hrs on a very large battery bank, so AC doorbell power is a hard requirement. This makes sense, as uploading and recording video is a power hungry process.

Wonderful
The Amcrest 1080P Video Doorbell Camera Pro, Outdoor Smart Home 2.4GHz WiFi Doorbell Camera (Wired Power), MicroSD Card, PIR Motion Detect, RTSP, IP55 Weatherproof, 2-Way Audio, 140º Wide-Angle AD110-SH provides an image at night and day well enough to make most details out. The 140 wide angle gives me a nice view of the porch, road and driveway. I did need to purchase a different mount since I have siding on my house that’s not flat. It’s easy to install and the directions are easy to follow. I wish it worked on the same app as the rest of my Amcrest cameras. Wish all worked in on simple to use app. In the over saturated market of camera and doorbell cameras this one is wonderful for the price point and Amcrest has never steered us wrong. We recommend them.This might be my doing from installing but when you ring the doorbell it rings outside then a few minutes later will ring inside.
