This new budget-priced alternative to the Big Name video doorbells offers all the features you need: good quality 1080p video, live streaming, two-way audio, motion detection etc. It serves perfectly well as a video intercom and home security camera.
Included in the low key but attractive box are a wall mounting kit, 16gb micro-SD card, USB charger, an external USB powered chimer and a well written and easy to read User Guide. Build quality seems fine and the unit is rated as IP65 waterproof, which means it should be fine in all UK weather. All you need to set it up is here in the box and you should be able to get it up and working in just a few minutes.
Setting it up is easy enough using either of the two methods offered by the CloudEdge app which has to be registered with an email address before use. When configuring it make sure your phone is connected to a 2.4ghz network and is using the Doorbell hotspot method make sure that your phone has not defaulted back to the home network. Also, during my tests with this method I found that the doorbell had already connected in the background to my home wife before the connection wizard had completed, so check for this if you have a problem. When connected correctly you will get a steady blue light on the doorbell status LED ring.
Once connected the doorbell can be powered either by the two supplied 18650 rechargeable batteries or using a mains adapter kit, sold separately. I would advise using the adapter kit if possible as heavy use of the device will wear the batteries down although they can be charged through USB without needing to remove them from the case.
Video and audio quality are excellent and the delay between ringing the doorbell and the chime ringing is low with an alert message popping up on your phone screen almost as fast. The app records all events and will record pictures and images both to the app itself and the supplied 16gb micro-SD card inside the unit. You can also have a two-way conversation with no need to press a Talk button. The only real criticism I have is the lack of integration with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT.
For the £84.99 price, this is a very decent alternative to the more costly Big Name market leaders.
