Some misinformation in the other posts; we bought this from Woot a few weeks ago and installed it a day or two after we received it. There was one tiny scratch on the plastic, otherwise it was perfect. And the price is very good. This is version 2, not 1. It connects to your existing doorbell if you have one, and the electricity keeps the battery charged. The old doorbell continues to work as it used to, but now Alexa will announce that someone’s at the front door, and will alert you if motion is detected even if they don’t ring the doorbell. If you have either the Alexa video monitor or a Fire table which operates in “show” mode, you can see who is at the front door. If not, you can see who’s there on your smartphone or tablet with a couple of clicks. You can talk to whoever’s there and listen to their repsonse. The video is 1040 HD. You can’t view prior videos unless you subscribe to a $3/month service. We didn’t.
In short, this an excellent price for a very good video doorbell.
The only downside for me was the creepy paranoid neighbors chat option, which lets you see everybody living nearby who has a Ring doorbell and heard a strange sound overnight. No thanks.
