This is the best video out for this project!! I have looked at several. I am so excited about my new purchase that I have done everything I can to pre-stage the installation. I think this will be my perfect solution as an apartment dweller.
I have watched this unboxing before and I liked it was checking on line again to see if I was missing something had to change batteries but I am having reset issues. I really love your videos. You get to the point a paid actor wouldn’t do as good a job. Thanks 😊
Maybe install it on a bedroom door so the hallway could simulate what the field of view would be like in apartments with a corridor leading to the door. I also wonder how it would work on doors with a security/screen door installed.
You might want to consider showing people how to convert a standard camera into a door cam. There are a number of cheap way s to do it like using $20 wyze came and $2 over the door hook. You just mount the camera onto the hook. The power cord is small enough to go between the door. Or you could mount the camera on the inside looking through the peephole.
all these doorcam or ringcam have a hit and miss. I don't think the doorcam is bad at all. The height of ur door is the problem. My door is perfect for this because i know people with this cam and love it. The motion is really quick and i can get this cheaper with amazon discount. I also have solar lights as well so and that will help with the cam quality at night. I did think the echo show took too long to show up the video. great video
Did they send you the 3? I want to see a review of that one. Nobody else has reviewed it on here. You have the best review for these cameras! Remo, send him the 3
i started thinking I just needed a single wyze camera then watching many of your videos I realized that what I real need is a proper NVR system, probably with a combination of 8 and 12 MB reolink cameras The missing piece of the puzzle is what doorbell to use to have continuous recording and if possible using the nvr memory itself. Thank you
You need to test the porch pirate when coming from your garage, not just the long walkway. If they assume you have a door camera, they will try to take the approach which offers the least detection time. So if they come from the garage, the camera may only get their back by the time they get up to the package, grab and turn around to leave. So also test at a brisk pace. not running, but very fast walk. Heck, maybe even running. I am not a porch pirate, but I suspect they are not walking slowly when they go to grab items. I suspect they are also not sprinting because that will bring attention to themselves.
My door cam 2, which I purchased new, came with no: batteries, hardware, allen wrench and window sticker. I think I got someone else's return. On top of that, after hours of trying with two different phones and a qr scanning app, the camera would never scan. I am exchanging it, hoping I just got a dud because I really love the idea of the easy install and the additional security.
Hello, excellent job on your demonstration! Question: We can’t find the Pairdeer Industrial D size batteries that came with the unit. Can we use any other kind?
Can this work as a stand alone? Does it work without internet or wifi once setup? What is the bear minimum it requires? If internet is required, is the live view over the internet or WIFI when locally on-site?
Wow that speaker audio is horrible and night vision even with outdoor lights seems on par or worse than a Wyze cam. We renters always need more options but oof not this at least not at $200. Thanks for reviewing it.
Hi! do you know if there is a 190° field of view camera over the door no wifi needed, since my door is the last one at the end of the hallway and is facing a wall not the entrance of the building?
You're actually saving a lot of money by buying expensive hardware, but not having a subscription fee. You can buy a Ring doorbell - but at $14 a month for a year - that's $168.
I am betting, based on the size of that thing, that the strata council, if you live in a condo, will just tell you to remove it because it alters the exterior appearance and there's not much you can do to argue that.
Does anyone know which UDP & TCP ports need to be opened on WiFi Routers for the App to find a DoorCam 2 or DoorCam 3 ? Worked out of the box using Cox internet supplied Wi-Fi router, but not on an Aircove Router (yes I turned off the VPN) I can't find any specs on ports. These work great, but support is lacking. Feel free to reach out to me, I will test and report results.
I wonder if there is battery quality screen in the app. I certainly don't want to buy alkaline all the time when I can use my rechargeables. But I know rechargeable quality falls off faster than alkalines do.

How's your overdoor camera doing 10 months on?

laughed when testing the audio quality. sound like star war troopers 😂😂. but secure design if we get high Door 🚪 haha. thx for review :)

That’s a good idea...I’ll be making a video about no drill or screw installs..thank you.

Hey lifehackster what’s the best 4K turret camera NVR system u recommend?
Reolink is a good choice for the money.
The porch pirate test is a great idea
Thanks.

Wonderful wonderful video review!! So comprehensive! 🙌👏👏👏
Thank you so much for all the work
Nice video Lifehackster. This unit won't be much use up North, since most homes has a stormdoor.
I'm sure it will be of use to indoor apartments.
Very informative, thanks!
Good Job !
Many Thanks From Belgium !

Nigh vision quality is poor as wall as the audio, but it an ok solution for renters and detection seem to be quick..
Yes..motion detection is pretty quick.
What will happen after the 3 days free ?
I just found you on amazon first and then here. Really convinced me to buy but can it uploaded to more than one device?
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Hello, excellent job on your demonstration!
Question:
We can’t find the Pairdeer Industrial D size batteries that came with the unit. Can we use any other kind?
Great video, but did not mention the price.
Thank you! Another good product ideia but need some improvement at least at the microphone 🤦🏻♂️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
can you review 12MP POE system
I am pretty soon.
The night vision is bad
And the speakers to
Could be a lot worse
Hi nice video what type of power supply it used?
Are you going to do a review on new ezviz doorbell?
I’m not sure yet..will see.
How do I install DoorCam 2 in South America?
Can you help me with the time zone?
How long does the batteries last? Can it be connected via bluetooth? So you have 3 days to download videos for free, how much does it cost after that?
Can this work as a stand alone?
Does it work without internet or wifi once setup?
What is the bear minimum it requires?
If internet is required, is the live view over the internet or WIFI when locally on-site?

You are welcome
Let's say you're at work. Can you get alerts pretty quickly and can you make changes to your settings when you are at work?
Yes
Can u watch it on ur fon when u are away from home or travel
Yes, you can as long as your phone is connected to the internet.
Hi! do you know if there is a 190° field of view camera over the door no wifi needed, since my door is the last one at the end of the hallway and is facing a wall not the entrance of the building?
can you use non-alkaline D-Cell batteries alkaline batteries sometimes leak
how should I hang the camera on the door when in Europe other doors are used that have the shape of S. it is unusable!!!
I was interested but only until I saw the price :)

@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking I use a wyze cam v3 as my door cam and is comparable or beats this on all fronts.

Where can I get this to buy
It looks better with night vision off.
Hi dear. How to reset door cam 2 ?
If you're a renter who can't drill holes.
Later:you could drill it right in the door 😁
Lol..
@@LifeHackster great videos👍appreciate the effort you put in

$199 😂 No thank you 😂
Why does my remo + live view only for 1 minute then stop the live view
Audio playback and cam playback were no good!!....ez pass 👎
Not for Europeans, I asked their customer service, no selling to Europe.
Does the wyze cam outdoor support 128gb? Plz reply
I think still 32GB
@@LifeHackster never mind tried putting 128 gb into it and while wyze dosent officially works with it works perfectly fine
I hope So I’m goin through something right now with my neighbor
Don't just target renters us squatters need security also

It does show in the app, he explains it himself…
