Upgraded to New SkyBell Hardware
Set up was a challenge since we had our iPhones and WiFi network connecting configured to the Old unsupported device. It was a pain in the backside but finally got it to work. We had to wipe all data in the app and reinstall and reconnect to configure the new device. It is fixed now. Thx

Every now and then the bell needs to be reset in order to work

Not very user-friendly it needs to be updated. I donβt really get why you canβt put in user-friendly software have the thing not glitch and make it easier to sign into Wi-Fi. Iβd buy another one when this dies if you could do that, but apparently Iβll have to go to another manufacturer supplier.
Exactly what was ordered
SkyBell is the only company that hasnβt switched over to subscription services after it was purchased. I have a home camera that stated it was free, but then it only gave you notification after a few years, not videos.
Avoid SkyBell that requires Monitoring
I chose SkyBell because I wanted a video doorbell without expensive monthly monitoring fees.
If you're shopping for a smart doorbell, be careful before signing up with a monitoring company. Many companies sell doorbells that require a monthly subscription for features you may not need.
Before you buy, make sure the doorbell can be used with a free app and doesn't require a monitoring contract. SkyBell offers a free service tier for its standalone doorbells, although some dealer-installed or Alarm.com versions may require a paid monitoring plan. Read the fine print before purchasing so you know exactly what you're getting.
Do your homework, compare your options, and don't assume every doorbell needs a monthly fee. You could save yourself a lot of money in the long run.
