I had been wanting to get a doorbell camera for quite a while. Almost spent $160 on a Ring doorbell, but decided to wait. When I came across this doorbell camera for $55, I originally looked at the rating and decided not to purchase it. But, after becoming interested in and purchasing an August Smart Lock, I revisited this camera. Just before I decided to go with this camera, August announced that they would be offering 24 hours of free cloud recording with all doorbell cameras. This is a MAJOR feature! I was really not excited about spending $160 on a Ring and then having to pay another $3 a month just to access recorded footage. To me, it was a steal to get a doorbell camera this cheap with included free 24 hour cloud recording. Got this camera installed today, and so far I really like it. It was not easy to install in my case because the siding where my doorbell was located was too small to fit the August Doorbell. It also could not hang over, because that would stop my storm door from opening. So, I had to screw a block of wood into the siding to raise the doorbell up over the stone on my house. It definitely would have been better if this would have fit where the old doorbell was, but that just wasn't going to happen. The August Doorbell Cam is 2.9 inches which was too big for my 2 inch siding. So, depending on your situation, be advised that there could be some extra work involved in getting this installed.After completing the installation, setup in the app was very easy. The doorbell connected to wifi quite easily and I was able to get right to the video. I was at first concerned about the quality of the video. When I watched the live stream, the video would be choppy and was not smooth. But, I did discover that live streamed video is recorded by August. So, I went back and downloaded some live streamed clips to my camera roll and they were smooth and good quality. Not quite HD quality, but adequate quality for recognizing faces. I think it is a great feature that August records video as soon as you start watching video live. Motion alerts also seemed to be very reliable and the recorded video with those was great as well. I also tested the doorbell function multiple times and it worked great. It rang the doorbell in my house and also made a chime sound and sent notifications to my phone. Despite being in an older home, I did not have any issues with doorbell voltage or needing to make modifications on that end. Overall, I am very happy with this doorbell. It is by no means perfect. I wish it had a slimmer design so I could mount it right to my door siding, and it would be nice if the video was a little crisper. But, considering the price, free cloud recording, bridge capability with the August Smart Lock, beautiful design, and reliable motion sensing to name a few things, this definitely meets and exceeds my expectations.If you are looking for a well priced video doorbell with lots of functionality and good looks, I would definitely recommend this doorbell!One more note: I am a big fan of Apple HomeKit. Almost all of the devices in my home are HomeKit capable, and I am really big on having them integrated through HomeKit. I did contact August before purchasing this doorbell and they did tell me that HomeKit support will be coming to both the 1st gen and the Pro. I know they promised it long ago, but they did tell me that they are continuing to work with Apple on bringing this integration and that there have been some delays that have made it take longer than expected. I am looking forward to this feature and I think it will be yet another benefit that the August Doorbell will bring over it's competitors.UPDATE 3-22-18:After using the August Doorbell Cam for some more time, I have decided to deduct 1 star from my initial 5 star rating. I previously mentioned reliable motion detection. Overall, it is pretty good, BUT, sometimes it misses the beginning of a motion event. Also, interestingly, somehow it often captures the very beginning of a car moving down our street from far away. I am reluctant to lower the motion sensitivity because when it was at 60%, sometimes it missed us going out the door altogether. August really needs to bring motion zones to the doorbell cam like ring.Also, I had an issue with getting connected to the doorbell and watching video after multiple days of using it without issues. It was connecting to the internet because when I rang the doorbell, I got a notification on my phone, and it was recording clips, but, I could not watch the live stream. It was just stuck saying connecting. I tried rebooting it and everything. No luck. I also noticed some buzzing sound coming out of my doorbell that was weird that I hadn't noticed before. Finally, I had to resort to removing it from the mount, re-inserting it, and then factory resetting it. Now all issues are fixed. I am hoping that won't happen again, but we will see. The day this happened, we had a power surge/outage for a few seconds, so I don't know if that caused the issue. I also am going to be setting up a new WiFi network with Google WiFi soon, and I am hoping that this may help improve the reliability of things. Our internet service gets 200 mbps down and 20 up, so the doorbell cam should be getting good speed. I will post an update after more time with this doorbell. Overall, I am still very happy with it considering the price and other things I mentioned.UPDATE 4-11-18:Since I had the issue with being unable to view the live video feed on the doorbell, I have not had any further issues. I also got a new Google WiFi Mesh network, which the August Doorbell had no issues with. Live streaming on the camera has been very reliable, with no issues at all. Having the free 24 hours of video recording continues to be a great benefit. This device isn't perfect in picking up every motion event, even with motion sensitivity at 100%, but for the most part it gets most events. I am still hoping for motion zones as well as HomeKIt integration. This are very important features! Will continue to provide updates as I have more information to give!
