@@paulhibbert £91 kinda overpriced still considering a security cam with capture software is less than £30.

[@jonsmith9045]

Unifi also has a camera like this. No solar but it has a little screen that you can put messages that nobody will read because nobody is accustomed to seeing a message on the doorbell. Best feature, if you couple this with a doorbell that can play MP3 you can have the imperial March play each time and with a little delay and getting to the door quickly you can have a soundtrack to whenever you open your door. Couples with a flood light by Unifi you can also trigger a light to turn on down the walk before the motion sensor couple pick you up normally.

No home assistant is a no go.

[@somemovingpictures]

If the EZVIZ is mounted with adhesive pads, it would be very easy to lose: 1. The package on your porch. 2. The EZVIZ unit. 3. Any evidence of the incident. That makes it a no go.

[@biggusdickus5986]

Use screwsthen dont lose.

[@yonkocommander5531]

If you actually attached your camera doorbell with adhesive pads then the issue isn’t isn’t the EZVIZ, is your dumb ass.

[@zephsmith3499]

He did say it can be mounted with screws, so the adhesive mounting is an option we can avoid using.

[@indymind]

The aqara camera is battery powered, similar features to this with no subscription but includes 7 days cloud storage. It also stores the data in the base unit not the camera. Reolink is the best on the market for wired. Works seamlessly with Frigate.

[@ruspj]

instead on only using their cloud storage it would be great to allow owners to direct the storage to their own equipment. they could offer a storage option/device similar to a raspberry pi zero which could easily be less that £50, or allow users to direct it somewhere like their dropbox account. i dont think its acceptable how manufacturers dictate where you can store data from a device you own.

[@SearchingForTone]

Thank you so much for the Kind advert at the end 😎🤙 Im glad it was on such a classic video, the Anakin bit was awesome, and glad you brought the head explosions back 🤣They are not easy, I had done one in my first videos. For the camera, I may have to switch going to measure to see if I have the space. My current one the notification and screen pop are so long the burglar has already bludgeoned me to death and threw on a pot of coffee.

[@JoshsSmartHome]

Nice thorough review as always Paul. With that said, this isn't the dorbell for me.

[@rhysphillips8532]

Nice video, Paul, which led me to buy this. I had no end of trouble installing it, the app was slow and a lot of the text was in broken English, and it just didn't wuuuuuurk. Swapped it out for Eufy, and so far... it just wuuuuurks!!

[@meishseeks]

The how much that i laughed at the back passage joke , is probuarly way to much for my age 🤣🤣

[@DrFiero]

Even my RING camera (don't judge - I've had it for years) has an easy SNOOZE feature. At least that's something that can be added by an update - not like they gimped up the lens or something.

[@tullgutten]

If you want snooze but the app doesn't support it. Have an extra button (or just in the app) and a relay of some sort, and make it so for every notification the relay must be off. Then you create your button press to keep the relay on for 10 minutes before it goes off again. This is how i make "advanced" and less annoying alerts and functions in Tuya since it is a very simple app.. So most of my "Scenes" and tap to run have at least two necessary conditions that must be satisfied (before i used it to turn on ventilation and it just beeped hundreds of times an hour when it was already on, now it doesn't activate any more before the fan is completely off and I've set it to be on 30 minutes for every activation) It was a life changer for me too get this working as the app never gets support like that.

[@davidw717]

Aqara Video Doorbell is by far the best on the market. Surprised you don't have it as you like Aqara.

[@wilty5]

Aqara needs to either add another camera, and or change the orientation of the camera to make the view of the porch better for viewing packages etc

My nest doorbell camera feed is recorded using Shinobi 24/7 with no subscription. Running Shinobi on UnRaid docker.

[@Offcut55]

I have a Ring doorbell and for some reason Amazon seem to have a delivery driver block on it? As I never seem to catch them leaving the package in front of the door instead of our safe space plus they never push the bell either! But to be fair we do have one that has come a few times and he is a polite man that will do everything we request.

[@johnszatkowski6898]

One thing you made no mention of is how exactly the solar panel hooks in the camera and how long of a cord comes with the solar panel? Reason I ask is my porch has a rook over it and my battery doorbell never gets any sun so, I installed a solar panel that came with 13feet of cord, so I could mount the panel on the roof and keeps my doorbell cam topped off!

[@ReneNieuwenhuis]

I bought this camera a month ago for 99 euro incl solar. At this moment the battery is 100% full, I get messages in a few seconds. There are no cons found so far.

[@slow17motion]

Why is anyone buying Nest or any of these when you could buy Reolink? Yes, it works with HOME ASSISTANT, but when you want security cameras all around your house--Reolink is cheaper and has the reliable NVR to record everything that's connected to it.

[@dluik]

Was thinking exactly the same!

[@kevpaulsen]

Be careful! While Google Nest Aware lets you add multiple cameras for one price, your bill for data with your ISP may jump up another tier since the cameras are always feeding video back to Google and that can cost you more money.

[@cltimbes]

I really don't know how you pulled it off, but my Alexa went off at 4:00 a.m. telling me that a wanker had just posted a video that I had to watch now. That's quite a disturbing way to be woken up! 😂 🤣 seriously though another great video thank you!

[@garethnaylor1283]

Great video Paul, thank you. how far can the solar panel be separated from the door bell unit? How does it connect. would want to relocate the panel in the sun say 30 cm away from the base unit as otherwise it would be in the shade under my porch.

[@rooflessdriver68]

I thought the same thing as my nest doorbell is on the right of the door frame, so the panel wouldn't work if its attached like Pauls. looked on Amazon shows it can be separated to either side or above, but no distance details.

[@zephsmith3499]

Another commenter (4 above yours on my screen) reported 40cm of separation.

[@magnusnelenius649]

No RTSP and no HA integration is a no go for me, otherwise it seems to be perfect. You said you tried, does that mean the instructions mention it so it maybe will be fixed in a FW upgrade?

[@frchguy]

Hello, first of all , great video as always. One question: is there different model of this camera because on Amazon France, it only costs 109.99 euros (94 ,£) ! ?

[@davidaspinall4872]

I have bought the ch1 chime with it from amazon, what is It I am reading about solar panel and wired chime compatibility? The ch1 us wireless and is acting as a repeater, no physical wired chime connection to the bell Is the chime I have bought and paired with the doorbell the chime in question and I shouldn't use the solar panel? Also I had to set up the device again and didn't get the option for power method, where is the setting to switch between solar battery or mains?

[@albie9999]

Looking through the user guide for this .... does this only record human movement? My current front door camera (CloudEdge I think) has option for motion detection, such as cars .. as well as human detection ... so I use it as a kinda security cam as well ... cannot see an option for that in this EZVIZ product?

[@mikef3324]

Me too, works fine and indoor hub is far more secure. 3 day storage isn't great for me. If you get a lot of notifications e.g. recording 32mB will fill up faster than 3 days.

[@mbirth]

07:45 You're sure it isn't "Lingering detection", i.e. only notifies if somebody *lingers* in front of your door for a few seconds? I know the Aqara has this to not ping you for every single person just walking past your door.

[@mikeys4u]

Wyze doorbell I get 14 days free cloud storage, no subscription. Starlight sensor, and a free tortoise. Still haven't bought a wyze camera to review. Still asking after 3 years.

[@paulhibbert]

I'll be totally honest, this is tricky. If Wyze don't sponsor me then I lose out on the vast majority of my income. I would have to turn down a sponsor to then spend my own money on a doorbell I don't need. I don't know why after all these years Wyze haven't made contact 🤷‍♂️

I'm watching Star Wars in episode order and was amazed that Anakin didn't face any consequences for slaughtering the Tusken Raiders. It should have been a defining moment but it was a non-event. I don't even get why Padme loves him. He was initially creepy towards her and stayed creepy. I'm very disappointed in the stoyline and a lot the dialog. I fondly rember the original and can probably quote lines from it. Although I've seen some of the others I don't have any fond memories, as if they were blah, and I still feel the same way. Will see what happens when I get to the original. Will I be disapointed in that too?
