AOSUDoorbell Camera Wireless, 5MP Ultra HD, No Monthly Fee, 2.4/5 GHz WiFi Video Doorbell with Homebase, Battery/Wired Powered, Work with Alexa & Google Assistant

Awesome Ring replacement. I bought this after first considering the newest Aqua video doorbell. But, it suddenly become unavailable after China paused trades with USA. Which forced me to look further for a no-subscription video doorbell. This installed easy, has great response time. Just as good as my Ring video doorbell. And awesome video quality. Connectivity went very smoothly. I have it powered by wire, which is what I wanted. It has its internal battery, which seems to charge slowly, not a big deal. After a day and a half it is at 94%. The durability of the unit seems good, no worse than my Ring unit. I wanted a unit I don’t have to pay annually for and I am very pleased so far. They seemed to have mimicked everything I had and used with Ring. The tones are not the same, but I can live with that. Not having the same alert tone as everyone else around me is a good thing.

We had the unit for 9 months and it works perfectly since day 1. The installation was easy, picture and video quality is excellent. Better than our old Ring Doorbell. Highly recommend.

I recently purchased the AOSU doorbell camera, and it has been a great addition to my home security. The delivery was fast, and the camera worked perfectly right out of the box—clear video, reliable motion detection, and easy setup.After about a week, I encountered a small issue where the local storage stopped working. However, AOSU’s customer service, especially Ann, went above and beyond to resolve the problem. Not only did she promptly send me a replacement camera, but she also helped extend my warranty to **two years**, giving me extra peace of mind.Thanks to this level of support, I’ve since invested in almost all of AOSU’s products to protect my home. It’s rare to find a company that stands behind its products like this—highly recommend!

I purchased this because I don't have to pay for a subscription. There is the option to pay for online storage. Set up is easy.It works well but sometimes seems a little slow. It won't always alert when someone walks by and when it does there's usually a 4-5 second delay. Meaning that by the time I can see who's on the other side of the door from my phone they're knocking again. There's less than 10 feet between the camera & the home base.I was having issues with my internet at one point, the service tech said doorbell cameras are notorious bandwidth hogs. He recommended I shut down the camera every so often to clear it out.The battery is great! I've only charged it 3 times in the last 10 months. It's been fine through all of our Southeastern weather. Humid. Hot. Hurricanes. Not a glitch unless the home base loses power. Even then when the power comes back on it doesn't have issues reconnecting.

Vibrant colors. Hard-wired so no problem with battery life. Sensitive detection capabilities. Faces West so lens is exposed to late afternoon sun but there's no blooming in picture. Installation was easy. Support was responsive. Don't give up if you first get an answer that does not make sense...escalate it and you will get an expert (THANK YOU, Nicole!). Wi Fi connection and app are reliable and consistent. Love the self-storage capability. Five stars!

Update:We've upgraded our rating to 5 stars and bought a second doorbell of this model for our other door. We like this doorbell that much. We've also added Aosu 4 solar security cameras with the separate (not attached to the camera) solar panels, so we're now all in with Aosu. Thank you Amazon for all of the Aosu deals. We saved a bundle.Why the upgraded rating for the doorbell? After fumbling around, we found all of the features in the app that we need to monitor the doors to our house. Video playback is still herky jerky, but we'll live with this trade-off for exceptionally crystal clear video. This doorbell model works very well.We're staying with the wireless option because our 'vintage' house requires more wiring than we care to invest in doorbells. The wireless works well with our mesh router and signal extenders with zero dropouts.We solved the battery drain in several ways. Turn off the blue doorbell light, it sucks power. Don't monitor the area 24/7, that sucks power, too. Doing these two things keeps the doorbells charged to 90-100% for months.HOWEVER, many thanks to Aosu for not hiding the doorbell USB port inside the mounting plates. Access to the USB port when the doorbell is locked in place allows for continuous charging with solar panels and solves the entire battery drain problem permanently.We attached 5W solar panels (available on Amazon) to the doorbells and added long USB male to female cables (also Amazon) to snake around the door frames and up to the solar panels on the roof. The solar panels now keep our doorbells fully charged. This option is something that Aosu could offer for anyone opting for the wireless doorbell version.It means that we can turn back on the doorbell's blue light and monitor 24/7 if we want. But we're already 'trained' in the above ways to conserve the battery, so not going OCD here...lol.We're not fans of the Ring community sharing (private people) and are glad not to be on that particular 'social media'. We're also not cloud fans (hello Crowd Strike?) and totally appreciate local storage, which we manage daily by deleting all videos. Seriously, we don't need to save videos of the mail carrier or package deliveries and clog up the doorbell's storage... :-).Initial Review:First off, thank you to all the reviewers. After futzing around for a year trying to figure out which video doorbell to buy, you guys helped with this decision.No regrets here. Wireless installation was a breeze and works well with our Samsung tablets. The images are crystal clear. We'll most likely hardwire for full-time observation because doing so drains the battery too quickly. Another possibility is a USB solar panel connected to the bottom USB charging port to keep the doorbell fully charged once we figure out the correct solar panel wattage.With the porch light turned on, we turned off the infrared for full color night vision and it's amazing even with our low wattage LED porch light. No porch light? Then you'll need to enable infrared, which also works as it should.Suggested Improvements: The Aosu app interface is kludgy and could be improved. An interface with a drop down set of menus, think any Microsoft Office application, would go a long way to making these products more consumer friendly along with easier to configure and maintain the cameras or some pop-up words to tell the user what an icon does. Because we just ordered the Aosu 4 cam solar security camera set on deal from Amazon, we're kind of dreading its maintenance with the current app interface.We're maintenance minded and like to be able to do things like check the battery life (not on the home card as specified in settings), delete old files (not able to do this with the incorrect directions in the online manual, but finally figured it out with an 'Activities' icon), check the WiFi signal strength easily (have to futz around in settings to find it and its buried in 'About Device') and delete notifications/messages (we don't need to see forever worth of messages and prefer to keep this list shorter or empty on a daily basis).We have a call into customer support because we'd like to be able to define where the Aosu app stores event files. We don't need to fill up our internal tablet storage when we have gigantic SD cards in our tablets just for storing data.Wish list? An app for our desktops - Linux and Windows. Given that the doorbell's hub is already on our network, then a desktop app would be an unbelievable bonus putting Aosu way ahead of everyone else. Because this isn't an NVR, Blue Iris doesn't support these cameras...yet...but we're trying.By tapping our Samsung tablets to the side of our 55" Samsung TV monitors we have the tablet's interface on the big screen. The problem is that it's not a KVM switch, which puts us back to the desktop app wish. Yah, we know, there are Android emulators for the desktops, but they're still not 'there'.All in all, as noted above, we like this doorbell so much that we'll be all in with Aosu security once our security cameras arrive. The single star ding is for the above suggestions for the consumer's experience and not for the hardware which works well.

These cameras are easy to install, charge themselves, and work wonderfully. They are high quality with an excellent picture and video whether day or night. They are an excellent value. I had an issue I needed help with, and the customer service was phenomenal! I love my cameras so much, I bought my mom the same set-up!
