Works great!
Does everything as advertised well and comes with everything you need. I'm not sure how it would work in old homes, but my home is a little over a year old with all modern wiring with a simple mechanical chime. It was very easy to install. Just shut off the breaker, pulled old doorbell switch off, drilled 2 holes for the backing plate, connected the 2 wires, and was good to go.At first, I didn't install the chime kit and noticed my chime was acting sporadic. If you have a mechanical chime, you have to use the chime kit. Was really easy to pop the cover off and install it. Only gripe there was trying to find a place for the box to fit inside under the cover. My chime is very common and popular. Nothing special. They could have put a little more thought into the shape of it so it would fit easier without interfering with the chime. I got the cover to sit flush, but if you look real close, you can see where the chime kit box is pressing against it. Maybe there's a spot I missed that might have been better, but its whatever I guess.Another thing. Turn off DHCP in the settings and assign it a specific IP on your network. If it disconnects, which it will with power outages etc, you will have to go through and find its new IP and reconnect if you are using it with blue iris or a nvr. It worked well with my Amcrest NVR, but I recently outgrew the 8 camera limit on it and wanted something better so I now use it with Blue Iris on a old computer I have. Neither have had issues connecting to this, displaying live feed, recording, or 2 way talk.It is extremely sensitive to movement, but I live out in a pretty rural area so it doesn't bug me. I actually wish my other cameras were just as sensitive as this one.The picture quality is pretty good. It is nothing crazy, but it is more than enough to get the job done. I'm not one to hyper analyze the picture quality. The only thing I do wish is that the viewing angle was even wider than it already is. I know it would look like a fish bowl if it did, but I wouldn't mind being able to see more. The viewing angle is pretty wide and it does fish bowl a little, I just wish it was even more so lol.The Amcrest Smart home app is actually really nice. I use it for the doorbell specifically. I don't know why Amcrest can't just do away with their other app and just use it for all their cameras. I could never get the smart home app to work with the NVR or any of my wired IP cameras. I digress though...If you are looking for a solid and easy doorbell camera that doesn't have a subscription and that just works, get this. I have enjoyed all my amcrest products so far except the NVR. Blue Iris changed my life lol

UPDATE: Died again, zero stars. Died after less than 6 months. UPDATE: 4.5 rounded to 5
The media could not be loaded. Update 1-11-24Died completely again. Pushing the button makes it turn off after a brief tone. Then it power cycles and comes back up after about 90 seconds. I MADE SURE the transformer was one that Amcrest agreed would be compatible. This is really disappointing. My entire camera system is Amcrest and over all I have had little problems. But this doorbell of theirs is just terrible. I mean two dead units after nearly identical usage times? DISAPOINTED! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!Update 3-2-22So the RMA process was somewhat lengthy. To forestall any problems with my transformer I bought one that they recommended and wired it in. It is working for now. The troubleshooting process only stopped when I took said transformer and wired it directly to the doorbell and it still not working. Before that I was given 3 different firmwares, told to wait a day (several times) for the capacitors to charge, turn off nightvision etc etc. That was somewhat annoying but understandable. The RMA had a quick turn around even if it did take 3 days to get to them.New unit is working as good as the first one was in the beginning. So we will have to wait and see. 4.5 stars atm rounded up to 5.I was at 8.75/10 now I'm at 2/10Worked very well for about 5 months before it started giving me problems. Now it won't stay on if you push the button. Video attached.Camera quality is decent. Field of view is really good.i just wish there was a plate that allowed for angling DOWN the unit as I get tons of sky with my doorbell placement.Nightvision isn't fantastic but pretty good once people are in range. I always have lights on so I never use save for testing.App integration was easy and it hooked up easy to my BlueIris software. Motion sensing with the amcrest app was pretty good. Got lots of cat alerts as humans though.The two way talk feature is very adequate. Not perfect sounding but you don't need high fedility audio to tell the delivery driver NOT to put the electronics near the sprinklers....Anyway I've started the RMA process after a lengthy series of emails to tech support. We will see how that goes svs I will update about that.
