The ability to see and communicate with visitors at yoru door makes life so much easier. I’m getting one for my grandma who has a knee problem – this would really help her.
How does the battery hold up during a Canadian winter?
I kept my eye on it since their crowd funding campaign as it looked promising but didn’t want to contribute at that point because so many failed projects that over-promised and never delivered. So when they finally had an actual physical product I was ready to order. I just wanted to clear up some things with them before because I had some privacy and safety concerns. The video doorbell is connected to your home Wi-Fi but the recorded video is uploaded to their servers (cloud). I wanted to know if it was possible to redirect the recording to a local (home) network or if that option is at least in the works for the future firmware updates. Also, constant upload to cloud would count towards a monthly data limit some people have with their internet provider. Since they ignored my repeated inquiries I realized that they don’t care much about (potential) customer support and so I decided to stay away from this particular product. I like the idea but their customer care doesn’t inspire confidence.
I wanted local server recording for similar reasons, additional reasons are:
1. The internet in Australia is pretty poor. Upload speed is pathetic.
2. Our main “provider” often disconnects your service to give it to someone else. Local recording meas I still get a copy even if the internet is down.
3. The cloud solution is not free. $3/month or $30/year. I don’t need it.
