SkyBell HD

I have several different video doorbells and frankly this one is not worth it. Plus your forced to do a monthly charge for video storage. Other have as cards in them other have a bridge and a storage unit that plugs in the house . You can access those any time any where. This app doesn’t show me the latest movement. It shows me hours ago. It takes for ever to log in. When the door bell is pushed it takes minutes to connect with the person at the door! What a waste of time. It need to be instant! Yes I’m In my house yes in the same Network and yes full strong 300 WiFi!!! It’s o ly the fault of the skybell. Slow! Costly and antique.

Does not connect. No support either.

What a waste! Everything changed when they want you to migrate to the new HD app! Well tech support and calling was useless, all they said was to change my password and that’ll fix the problem?! Email after email from Mike was like did we fix it? No because your answer is Password fixing? Threw the whole doorbell out and we bought a google nest!

The skybell camera app has MUCH to be desired! I turned off motion notifications; I don’t get notifications but it still records motion! I turned down sensitivity but it still senses motion! I have hi speed WiFi, but 4/3rds of the time when the door bell rings I can’t see who’s is at the door on the app! I guess I would be complaining more if the app didn’t work at all!

It’s hit or miss if I EVER see any data from my app. Very frustrating. This is probably the cheapest and most ineffective door camera I’ve ever seen. I am for sure going with another option. I’ve had it for 5 years so it’s not like I haven’t tried or given it a chance

What a waste. I work in tech, but this thing is such a bummer. It takes sooo looong to connect—if it does at all. Firmware updates change one’s settings to boot.

Worked great for a couple of years and now it’s junk and doesn’t do anything.

Can never livestream when I receive a notification! I’m getting dried of this horrible cam! Ring has been amazing since I can’t rely just on this doorbell I placed some ring cameras in my window

I’ve had the SkyBell for years and it’s always worked great. As of a few weeks ago it completely stopped working and now I only have a flashing light. I hope customer service will help me find a solution, if not I will have to uninstall and purchase a different one instead.

Favorite thing about the skybell is that there is no sleazy subscription “service” to view my own videos, so based on that alone this is the best doorbell camera available that I know of. Amazing to me that some people are dumb enough to pay infinite monthly fees for stuff like that, btw. Would love to see them expand into similar offerings like garage cameras, porch- and carriage-light cameras, homekit compatibility, a roku channel or something so I can see who’s at the door on my tv, etc. However, it is pretty cheesy that they lied about having a temperature sensor, and though they did honor their warranty on my first one which was defective, they told me that its replacement had no warranty at all, so I guess it’s just luck that the replacement is doing ok so far, otherwise it would’ve been a complete ripoff.
