"home false sense of security" :P

[WRXtranceformed]

My discounted Skybell ($137 on Amazon) finally showed up last week while I was on the west coast and I installed it this weekend. Should have listened to the MM peanut gallery in the first place, it is a vastly superior piece of hardware than the Ring units we had and the picture quality is much, much better especially at night. The app is worlds better and instantly connects to live view without glitching. The only complaints I have are that the doorbell itself is really big and the circle shape is weird, so I have to refill and repaint some old holes in the door trim now. The second is that the motion sensor seems to be finicky, it doesn't have the programmable zones like Ring had and isn't nearly as sensitive. For some reason it picks up motion better on the medium and low settings than it does on high sensitivity.

Either way, for less than $150 and free cloud storage for whatever it is, like 2 or 3 days it's leaps and bounds better than the Ring units
