Clever dog smart doorbell - any good?

Morning techies,

Does anyone have any experience of the clever dog smart doorbell and cameras?

Clever Dog

This would be an alternative to Ring. Potentially. Specs look OK, it's reviews I'm after.

Cheers

It seems to be a Chinese brand, Amazon reviews of their cameras appear mixed. Nothing on their wifi doorbell, probably d/t being a new release.

If you're looking for an alternative to Ring doorbell, then I would highly recommend Skybell. I think they were the first (or one of very early) makers of wifi doorbells. They're not cheap but unlike some other smartbell manufacturers, they don't charge monthly/yearly fees. You get unlimited firmware updates & cloud storage for life, which might explain the high upfront cost. Had my Skybell for nearly a decade now, very happy with it:

Thanks for that, it does look pretty good. Can you add additional cameras?

Any problems with the sky door bell & cloud usage in UK?
Did you purchase in the UK or from the US website?

Yes you can have multiple Skybell units installed in a home, the app lets you rename them if req'd.

Bought the 1st gen Skybell from Skybell USA directly many years ago. A few years ago I upgraded to the Skybell HD Trim and bought this from Amazon USA - I don't think Skybell USA offer int'l shipping anymore. Never had any problems with using the Skybell (any version) in UK, cloud usage works perfectly
