Pros and cons

According to our doorbell expert

The doorbell has an SD card slot to store footage, so you don't need a cloud subscription.

Thanks to dual-band WiFi, the chance of connection problems with the internet is very small.
This smart doorbell isn't easy to install, so we recommend you use a professional installation service
You need a strong WiFi signal at your front door to use this doorbell, so use a WiFi booster to create a strong WiFi network at your doorbell.

Description

The Foscam VD1 is a smart doorbell that works on the power grid with the ability to store camera footage locally. The doorbell has an SD card slot, so a cloud subscription with extra costs isn't necessary. The footage of the doorbell has a 2K resolution, which is of better quality than Full HD camera footage. In addition, the doorbell detects faces, so you only receive notifications when people are in the picture. You still need a subscription to also enable facial recognition of familiar people. The doorbell has dual-band WiFi, so there's a smaller chance of connection problems. Because the Foscam VD1 works with Alexa and Google Assistant, you can also view live footage on the screen of your Nest Hub or Echo Show.

Image quality top, rest less

Onvif support
Notifications way too slow

Great picture, even in the dark. Deal breakers, however, were the notifications that came in far too slowly. Tried everything, wired/wifi, qos adjusted in router, battery optimization off etc... No effect. Sometimes push, other times not/much too late.

Don't buy until Foscam makes major changes to the firmware.

The doorbell transmits a video call much too late or often not at all when the doorbell rings. Totally broken firmware

The essential of this doorbell, receiving video calls when ringing, does not work.

Poor night vision

Beautiful design
No subscription required
night vision

The doorbell is easy to connect. The camera provides a good image during the day, but unfortunately not at night. This is the reason I do not recommend this video doorbell.

Ensure a strong and stable WiFi signal

To stream live footage from your smart doorbell, you need a strong and stable WiFi signal at your front door. Walls and doors limit the wireless signal. Read how to get WiFi at your front door here.
