Amazing Camera, Perfect price, Awesome features and Great performance!!!
So I Just switched from the ring doorbell to the Kamtron doorbell camera and I'm not disappointed. So I will first say that the price point is amazing. I have a kamtron camera in the back yard which is honestly amazing! In which I choose the Kamtron as the Ring Outdoor Cameras can be a bit pricey. So for me it was a no brainer to switch to this camera. So here goes, I've listed a few key points below that I hope are helpful.* Installation - Installation was quick and easy as with their other products. The mounting hardware was very easy to install and took only minutes. There is also an option use the double sided tape, but mounting works best for my area.* Image and coverage - This camera provides great image quality and have a wide angle which covers a great portion of my yard an street. The angle is great for where I have it positioned because I don't get false motion as I did with my previous camera. Also at night I was very pleased with the image quality, its was still very sharp and crisp.* communication - This functionality is very user friendly and the call option is great. Communication is very clear on both ends, and I also like that there is a voicemail option.Overall the kamtron cameras are solid performers and you wont be disappointed! I will also point out that I have only tested this for a week or so, but I will say that I'm sure the battery life will last as I can't remember the last time I charged my other kamtron. Its probably been 5 months. so if your looking to secure your home with front and back yard cameras. Highly recommend all Kamtron products. The indoor security camera works great to. I bought two as baby monitors for my two niece.

A new product, practical and well designed. Just remember to carefully follow the instructions.
I just received this video doorbell. The packaging is very neat, with even a small toolbox containing the screws and fixing anchors, a screwdriver and a special key for the particular fixing screw to avoid the risk of theft. This special screw is delivered in duplicate, probably as a precaution. There are also 2 reset tools (like the ones for smartphones), 2 double-sided adhesives, a name tag holder and of course a fairly detailed manual, sufficiently legible but only in English. As indicated in this manual, it is useful to start by charging the batteries (2 very classic 18650 lithium types) for a few hours. This is done using a cable provided to connect to a USB source such as a phone charger, a PC or for example a wall socket capable of also providing the 5 volts required, as there are more and more of them available. According to the manual, these batteries give an autonomy of 6 months to a year depending on the use of the camera. I obviously couldn't check this in a few hours. It should be noted that the support of the camera allows the permanent recharging of the batteries if a voltage source of 12 to 24 volts (DC or AC) is available at this location, this can be the case using the power supply of an old doorbell.The chime itself is a small round black box, which plugs into a USB port, again for example on the phone charger mentioned above. This charger is not included in the package probably because it is now available in most homes. Note that this chime has no battery (unless you plug it into a power bank). Contrary to the camera, it is therefore inoperative in case of a power failure.It seems possible to link several chimes on the same camera in order to hear the ringing in a big house, or even in a lanai for example, but I don't know if they can be purchased separately.Getting started is easy if you follow the manual carefully (which is always recommended for products of this kind). It is possible to perform this start-up before installing the camera doorbell in its final location. I think it is highly recommended to check the proper functioning of the framing of the image.The first thing to do is to download the CloudEdge application that runs on iOS or Android. It was already installed on my Android smartphone so I just had to add the video camera door bell. The instructions are clear, don't forget to check that, during this operation, the smartphone is well connected on a WiFi 2.4G network so that the camera is recognized. Afterwards, if your WiFi router is mixed (2.4G and 5G), the smartphone can work in WiFi 5G and access without problem to the camera doorbell which will be connected in 2.4G. Naturally, all this will also be accessible on the smartphone during a trip, even if it is probably not essential in the case of a doorbell at home... This may seem complicated but it is not embarrassing and it is the case for all WiFi cameras I have the opportunity to use.It is then necessary to pair the doorbell to the camera if it is not already done, and then make sure that it is also recognized by the smartphone. I was able to do all this in a few minutes by following the manual.It should be noted that the smartphone application allows to check that the camera is at a location allowing a sufficient WiFi range. It also displays the battery charge. These details are appreciable.In use, several functions can be activated or not and sometimes set by the smartphone application:- the camera's motion detector.- the type of ringtone among 4 melodies and of course their intensity.- the sharing of alerts and videos with other users.- optional and paid storage in the cloud. I don't know its price because it didn't seem useful for this type of ringing camera. Note that it comes with a micro SD card of 32GB amply sufficient to store the videos left by many visitors.Another word about the other functions:- the use as an intercom worked the first time without requiring any adjustment.- It is the same for the night vision illustrated by one of the attached pictures.In short, I appreciate this video doorbell bell that seems to keep all its promises. The manufacturing quality seems to be fully in line with today's good standards. It provides sound and images (video or fixed) that can be used day and night. Many small details have been well thought out, in the manual and the accessories provided. Its design also brings a security of fixation with respect to the one who could be tempted to steal it or to remove the micro SD card which is well protected inside the camera (I also had difficulties to find it because it is necessary to remove the batteries to access it). On this subject, I also noticed that the WiFi connection and the radio link to the doorbell were restored when you put the batteries back in place without having to redo all the settings. This is also a good point.I probably took a bit long, but it seemed useful in the presence of such a new and quite technical product.Please also forgive my English language which is probably not perfect, as it is not my mother tongue.

Great doorbell
This is my 4th product by Kamtron. This Kamtron video doorbell is just as great as my other Kamtron cameras. This Kamtron video door bell comes with its own chime kit, mounting kit and tools required to install it. The doorbell hardware is well-built and comes with a face-plate that you install that the doorbell snaps into. You have option to screw faceplate to house or use 3m adhesive sticker. This doorbell has built-in night vision and I have no problem recognizing visitors near the door both at night and during the day.The installation is very easy. I installed the video doorbell with the same wiring from the old doorbell so it gets a trickle charge. Overall, great video door be that I highly recommend.
