Reolink D340W + Chime

The Reolink D340B + Chime is an easy-to-install doorbell that lets me keep an eye on my entire front yard. Thanks to the extra doorbell chime, I can hear it anywhere in the house, but I do need a good Wi-Fi signal at my front door.

Installed in a flash The doorbell is battery-powered, but the box also includes wires to connect it to my regular wiring. It also includes screws and a wedge to hang the doorbell at an angle. There's no adhesive strip included, so I do need to drill holes for installation. After charging the doorbell, I turn it on and scan the QR code on the back of the chime. Installation is very easy using the app. After a few simple steps in the app, the chime works, and I can watch the live video.

Sound signals and notifications The chime for this doorbell is included. This means I not only receive a notification in the app when someone rings the doorbell, but I also hear a sound inside the house. The chime is plugged in and works immediately when I plug it in. I use the buttons on the side to adjust the volume and ringtone. This chime produces a loud sound, so I can still hear it upstairs.

Even when I'm not home, I know exactly when someone is at the door. I receive a notification via the app on my phone when there's motion or when someone rings the doorbell. The doorbell distinguishes between people, animals, packages, and vehicles. Because I live on a busy street, I only choose person detection so I don't get unnecessary notifications from passing cars or cats entering my garden. I experience virtually no delay when someone rings the doorbell, but you do need a strong Wi-Fi signal at your front door. Otherwise, the video and audio may stutter.

Doorbell and security camera in one When I watch the video on my phone, I can see my entire front garden. It also records sharp images, so I can clearly see the details. Thanks to its wide viewing angle, good image quality, and the smart notifications I receive through the app, I also use this doorbell as a security camera for my front yard. I save the recorded footage to a micro SD card so I can review it anytime. I can also get a cloud subscription for video storage, but it's not required.

It works fine in itself, but the picture quality is a bit disappointing. Especially at night, it is not as good as the previous one I had.

Fits seamlessly with the other cameras installed here. Installation is a piece of cake; the app tells you exactly what to do.
