Works well so far on IOS, disappointing on Android

Installed 2days ago. Installation and setup were fairly easy. Unit seems to work fine on Iphone 6S, but video will not play on Android tablet. All things considered, I like it well enough. I just wish there was some troubleshooting information available to make the videos work on my tablet. I tend to be closer to that than to my phone.

no inside chime

Even after plugging the base station a foot away from the router, the doorbell does not chime inside, only on the phone and (sometimes) my Apple watch. It did chime inside once or twice, but not since. Have reset WiFi connection (very strong signal) and it is set properly at 2.4 Ghz.

App needs MAJOR updates.

Aosu,

Please change these 3 things.

1. Ability to pause, rewind and scrub/drag the video frame by frame. This is basic and I’m not sure what developer wouldn’t think to include this. I shouldn’t have to try to hurry and press record to save a video, then go my album and try to watch it there. Which also takes ups unnecessary space on my phone.

2. Turn off the auto play to next video feature. If I want to play the next video, I can easily click on it.

3. Notification Previews — Needs a screenshot of the notification on the Lock Screen so I can decide if I need to open the app for viewing or if it’s a false alert and nothing is there. Again, this is pretty basic and is normal of my previous two doorbells.

Bonus: Indoor chime could be much louder. I have my receiver plugged in close the doorbell for best reception to the camera. Can barely hear the chime when I’m upstairs in a 3 story home.

What I can say, is the video quality is superb! Never have I seen a doorbell call so clear! Let’s channel some of the hardware efforts into the software and this doorbell would be 5 stars!

This App Has Been Around Long Enough To Be Better By Now

I suspect the few number of reviews, despite being around for 4 years, is people just giving up and moving on to other units. I can’t see a good reason why after that amount of time and customer input, that I’m unable to eliminate passing car notifications as “motion at my front door” when they are clearly NOT. Why are the passing cars sometimes the whole ride past, but other times just their bumper disappearing from view? Why I can’t get the full video of people actually walking up to my front door instead of when they’re right up on it.

The settings are absolutely useless. Even if I set the actually paved part of the street to “private”, the larger vehicles continue to set off the notification, and I frankly shouldn’t have to do that anyway. I want a view of the entirety of my front porch and street. I’ve set the motion detection to “close”. I’ve set the sensitivity to “minimal”. I still have to delete 50-100 cars passing by per day. Why can’t this thing learn from what I’m deleting? But I can’t get it to show me the actual person who parked their car in front of my house, unloaded a large parcel, and walked it up the sidewalk. I only see when they’re at my door leaving it and walking away. Not freaking helpful.

Though I find this video doorbell a bit heavy and unwieldy, I was prepared to review it positively if it had done what I expected. Hypersensitivity to traffic, but lack of sensitivity to actual human presence defeats the purpose I bought this for. That I can’t tweak the settings to correct for this is just not okay.

Thumbs nails

Love it today updates. Thanks

good

The privacy area function of the v8s doorbell is very good. After setting the privacy area, events in the corresponding area will not be recorded.

App is rough

The Aosu doorbell works great when it actually works, but I find myself waiting and waiting for the live video doorbell to load on my phone so that I can view it, and that’s only if I’m connected to wifi. If I’m using data, it simply doesn’t load, which essentially makes it useless in the long run. I’ll be selling it to get a better one, because this is getting old fast.

The app is so bad I want to give it 0 star

I can not delete the videos that was captured. The app give me an error. It’s unfortunate that I have to return this product.

Such a headache

I would not have bought the camera if I knew just how crappy the app was going to be. It seems like there is always a bug that needs fixing. Online support is quick to respond though!

Needs lots of improvements

The video controls are basically off and on. There needs to be a way to rewind, fast forward, view frame by frame, etc. These are basic video controls that aren’t there. There also needs to be a way to write the entire video to a file. The record function isn’t the solution, especially without the option to rewind the video. Video play back pauses every few seconds for the next video segment to load. When viewing all the events in full screen, there needs to be a way to cycle forward and back through the list of events or repeat the current event video, not just move onto the next one when the current one is finished.
If I would have researched better, I wouldn’t have bout the Aosu doorbell camera.
