Doubt any of you in the comments did this yourself
Thank you for this video.
One question – why does the wuss in this video have a stupid, useless mask on in HIS OWN HOUSE?????? Talk about virtue signaling!
good quality video and product I hope it is the best
To which entity – or entities – does this technology transmit the data it collects? The so-called "internet of things" promises convenience but it is practically guaranteed to provide information its users freely give to companies that will monetize it. Beware!
Read Fahrenheit 451
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.
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.
Awesome!!!Big Like
