WYZE Video Doorbell v2, Wired, 2K Video, Two-Way Audio, Color Night Vision, Works with Existing Chime and IP65 Weather Resistant, Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant, Black

Alexa integrations are broken
Update: I was contacted by support once more. After going through the same measures to “resolve” the issue, nothing has changed. Smart home integrations are still broken. Once again, support stopped troubleshooting and my logs were sent to the “team” but I’m assured they will not contact to resolve the issue, because they are too busy, but my logs might help to resolve future problems. The doorbell still does NOT function as a doorbell. Strangely enough, if the camera detects a person, it is able to trigger a routine. If the doorbell button is pressed, a routine is never triggered. This is supposed to be a doorbell with the added security of a camera, but it does not function as a doorbell. It seems as though their programming team is a joke and cannot make the button press trigger anything. It’s literally a camera with a non-functioning button attached until the “team” can figure out the programming behind a button press. I wish I didn’t pay for the subscription before assuming a “smart” doorbell would just work and especially worried that I moved all of our home’s security to the Wyze ecosystem. This is not the company to trust with the safety of your family. I’m going to cut my losses, toss all of it into the trash compactor and move onto a more trustworthy brand.———Original review (it’s not any better):I bought this doorbell because I have some other Wyze cams around my house and wanted to move everything into one ecosystem. I replaced my Ring doorbell and regret it. If you are like me and rely on Alexa notifications, this is not the doorbell for you. It functions to ring my house’s mechanical chime only after upgrading the transformer to a 16v 30VA transformer. Ring was able to trigger the chime before without upgrading the transformer. I have various Amazon echo devices around the house because we cannot hear the mechanical chime in most areas. The Wyze doorbell cam v2 does not notify through Alexa. It worked a couple of times then stopped. I have tried deleting the cam, adding it again, resetting services, upgrading firmware, literally everything. I reached out to support and after trying the same things I already have, I was told they would pass it along to the “team” but they are very busy and I’m unlikely to hear back. This thing is trash and support is useless. It looks like I’m moving to another camera ecosystem. Absolute waste of time, money and effort. A smart doorbell cannot be called “smart” if none of the “smart” functions actually function.

Works perfect with my old house existing wiring (house built in ’65). I tried using the included Doorbell Chime Controller however, from time to time the chime would ring on its own so I removed it altogether everything is fine for the past 3-4 months now.I have it set up to call my phone when someone rings the bell so if I am not at home, I can see and talk to the person at the door. Love this feature.I have also put a 256 GB memory card in it holds almost 2 months of videos.

Didn’t need to subscribe, I’m alright without the extra features. Recording to SD card is OK, motion detection is OK, managed to reuse my existing mechanical chime, and possibly HomeKit integration would be possible later. Only thing not so good for me is that RTSP support is not built-in. But overall it’s still a good value doorbell cam.

I upgraded from the previous version to this Wyze V2 Doorbell, and I’m really impressed! The image quality is much clearer, making it easy to see who’s at the door any time of day. The motion detection is a bit sensitive, but it’s better than missing anything important. I love that I can record and replay footage directly on the device — such a helpful feature! Plus, it integrates with my existing doorbell chime, which was super convenient compared to having a separate chime. Overall, a great upgrade with valuable new features!
