Amcrest Smart Doorbell Pros:
- Local or cloud storage (you pick)
- Your not forced into a subscription which is fine with me
- Cheaper than most
- Comes with a screwdriver
- Easy Install
Cons:
- Cloud storage pricing is confusing
- I wish the security screw was torx and not philips
- Should come with a wedge to angle the camera
- Should have a third manual of instructions for the app setup.
This Smart Home Video Doorbell from Amcrest is great and it offers a ton of features without being chained to a monthly fee. Their cloud storage is also great and I love that it comes with a 1 year free trial which is unheard of. The cloud storage is very flexible and the plans are reasonable.
Overall this is a great video doorbell solution and I can’t wait to see what other smart home tech they come out with.
