It can be boughtdirect from Reolink’s online store(which ships worldwide) or fromAmazon.
There are also Reolink chimesthat let you hear the doorbell easily from anywhere in your home.
These cost $19.99 / 23.99 / AU$49.99 each.
It’s also not clear how to hardwire the doorbell if you do not have an existing doorbell circuit.
I admired the nicely illuminated doorbell button and then… All the while the doorbell is bellowing like a Eurovision score round.
Who thought all of that was a good idea?
Far worse is the ease with which the doorbell can be removed from the mounting plate.
While the app is uncluttered and easy to navigate, some of the configs could be labeled more clearly.
Reviewing video is also a bit clunky as it only displays the current days captures.
Occasionally, it does not connect at all, which is very frustrating.
It goes some way toward redemption for having such limited home automation capabilities.
The night vision is darker than on other doorbells which is a bit of a double-edged sword.
I have mixed feelings, ultimately, about the Reolink doorbell (battery).
Should you buy the Reolink Doorbell (Battery)?
The Reolink supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB and only captures video when movement is detected.
In theory, this should mean that you will have video that goes back a long way.
Reolinks limited home automation options make that difficult.
you should probably investigate every notification
The slow response will annoy and the battery will drain quickly.
It also can be used without a subscription, though one is on offer.
This model is wireless only.
All doorbells were accessed via their accompanying applications during the testing for this review.
The attempts to connect toGoogleHome andAppleHomeKit via Homebridge were time-limited to an hour each.
