resistorīecause it had free online storage, I chose this one. Furthermore, talking back and forth takes some getting used to, but once you have mastered this it is all very easy.Ĭompared to the Skybell HD is recommended for complete installations with internal station or via Ethernet cables, price quality is OK.Īn existing bell (gong) is required, or a 10 ohm. You are of course dependent on Skybell's servers. There is sometimes more than 5 seconds between ringing the bell and the notification on your mobile phone. Once the bell is installed you will not see it hanging and it does what you expect.

The specs state that the material is plastic, but misleading. The Skybell website sells the bell as 'Skybell HD silver', here it is sold as 'Skybell HD Aluminum'. IP65 should be able to withstand rainstorms and water jets, the plastic thing I have hanging on the gate doesn't make me believe it, wait and see. You pay a lot of money for a small gadget that feels really cheap. I chose the American Skybell HD, the American electronics have always charmed me, moreover you can use their servers for free for the stored recordings.Īlthough free, only the sun rises for that. To make a choice, it is difficult to find the right bell between the bubble forest. So currently very OK.Ī WIFI doorbell to see who is at your door anywhere is a gadget that too many manufacturers see solace in. In a year or so I'll be able to tell you if the Skybell still works.īut it's doing a fine job now. In any case, I'm going to look for a rain cover and an extra mounting plate against the wall to better hide my wires. If you work with an electronic ding/dong, you must install an extra interface with your ding/dong. If you work without an external doorbell, you have to install a resistor next to the power supply yourself.

But no space is provided for extra installation convenience when connecting the wires. There are bigger holes in the Skybell (probably for sound) but not really IPX4 in my opinion. It couldn't really stand the rain.Ĭompared to 'professional' intercoms, the wall mounting is not of the better quality.

I had an expensive (audio) intercom, but I finally removed it. (possibly extra Wifi-AP provided inside the hall, for example) Good WiFi connection is really necessary. The design is fairly universal, but the other competitors did not appeal to me at all. Installation difficult due to virtually no space for wiring
