YaleSmart Video Doorbell [NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED] Full HD Live View & Two-Way Audio - Motion Recordings - Customisable Privacy Zones - Night Vision - Real-Time Call - Works with the Yale Home app

Work perfectly with the cameras

Cameras work with Yale Home app and have built in storage. They are easy to install following the instructions on the app. “Human detection” or “any movement detection” can be selected and seems to work well - pet detection is only available with a subscription. Can be operated automatically on arrival or departure from house.The main downside is that if you want to switch on or off manually there is no main arm or disable function on the app. which switches all the cameras on and off (you can use the automatic arrival and leaving function to put into or out of privacy mode ) - each camera has to be switched independently- not a huge deal but probably could be easily fixed by changing the app ( spoke to Yale and they said they would probably be doing it but they didn’t know when).All in all a good camera from a well known company so hopefully the app and support will not be withdrawn which is what happened to my previous neos brand cameras.

There are two issues I have with this product:-1. Compatibility - This is yet another product from YALE that requires its own specific APP to work, I have several other YALE products (CCTV, two types of Internal Cameras, Door Locks) all of which only operate in their own APP. In addition YALE will not support APPLE HOME which would have been a great work around to get all the security devices onto one usable application.2. Slow - all these products take an age from clicking on to getting a picture a lot of buffering, this makes it useless when getting a notification that a delivery driver is at your door and activating to be able to talk to him to give any instructions (the delivery driver has normally long gone before the cameras are active) - I know this is probably something to do with my internet service, but to be honest I don’t have any slow or restricted internet even at peak times)I have contacted YALE and the responses seem to be mostly ‘It is what it is’ and not really an engagement in resolving issues.

Great little bell but it needs to be louder and ring for longer. You might have to get two if in a larger property. It's mains powered so why not?

Once I downloaded the correct App, the camera was straight forward to install & easy to use.Yale Help centre were most helpful.

nice product and work with my alexa

Chime worked well but the Yale doorbell was slow to switch on the camera.

Hoping a branded power supply holds up better than the unbranded ones I've previously used that typically die after a few months. Looks well made and exudes more confidence than the others, time will tell
