SkyBell was good in the beginning and then went through a dark time of no updates to the app, no support and no firmware upgrades. They now have a new app and are seemingly trying to get their shit together. I still got rid of my SkyBell.
I have a hikvision doorbell now that is linked to my nvr. So far there hasn’t been an issue with it sending out alerts but im positive it’s calling home to China
Why do you say it's calling to China, did you packet watch or you're assuming with good reason? Actually genuinely curious I've been looking at hikvision I've heard they have really good equipment. I know they are used professionally.
@Imajustlayhere @j4k3 @Steveanonymous it's state-owned.
@zsoltsandor lmao that's a very good reason I agree
