Beyond its mainstream features, the setup utilizes existing doorbell wiring and adds the Zmodo Beam as a dual Wi Fi extender and Wi Fi companion to the bell, which pairs quickly to the downloadable Android and iOS smartphone app. Once it’s installed, the 720p camera helps capture up to 8GB of video storage with an option for a subscription based cloud backup service that combines with night vision, so you can see and remember who is at your door no matter the time of day. While it doesn’t offer true “HD” video capture at 1080p, the Zmodo offers just about every feature a smart doorbell shopper could want at a price that’s too good to pass up. Additionally, the RemoBell is water and weather resistant it's capable of withstanding temperatures 0 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The included Cloud system for storing video is good, but it requires a small monthly subscription fee and with no local storage, it’s a must if you want true security. Fortunately, each subscription works for up to five viewers, so it's possible to have multiple household members connected. Looking past storage, alerts come instantly via apps for both Android and iOS. While the lack of a desktop app is disappointing, the RemoBell offers great value, four months of battery life, inexpensive storage options and a great installation process. This smart doorbell camera was an immediate hit with one tester because it was easy to install: “Thanks to the battery pack,” she explained, “you don't need doorbell wiring to install it, and you can place it essentially anywhere around your door. ” Other highlights, according to one reviewer, were its “reliable” motion sensing capabilities and its corresponding smartphone app: “The Ring app is well designed and effective,” she said, “providing rapid notifications and letting you view recorded videos with ease. ” On the other hand, one tester wasn’t a fan of its “bulky” design and didn’t like that you have to pay a monthly subscription fee.
