The only thing about those type of video doorbells is that you lose privacy and the cops can watch it. It’s best to have a closed circuit system not connected to the Internet.

Its like big brother lurking outside your front door. Who would not want that…
you did not rat out your neighbor you’re doorbell did. As a carpenter who has installed these I can say the quality is very poor. Cheep plastic parts held together with glue. disposable Chinese electronic devises that will lower the quality and reliability of your home.
Those who would trade their freedom for security deserve neither.
