Wyze Video Doorbell Pro

Based on 58 comments across 3 communities
TL;DR
Owners are split on this doorbell, but frustration outweighs satisfaction. The loudest complaints are battery life that falls well short of Wyze's six-month claim, notifications that arrive late or not at all, and recurring connectivity problems that leave it offline. The owners who are happy point to the low price, decent video, and easy battery-powered install, but reliability is the recurring dealbreaker.

34% of 58 verified owners recommend the Wyze Video Doorbell Pro.

The only way to reboot the device is to unmount the doorbell and hold down the power button on the back on the device. My Doorbell is wired and always topping up the battery so turning off the breaker does nothing.

I have the Wyze Video Doorbell Pro. Installed in Oct, charged it for the first time late February. It did better than I thought it would for battery life all things considered.

I got one for my Wyze doorbell pro and it’s plugged into the power points on the back of the doorbell then they should give you a pack of mounts to route the cable and nail it in the wall

Switched to Wyze Doorbell Pro. I didnt have any problems with it but it wasn't anything to brag about either, just a simple video doorbell.

I'm very happy with my wyze products after almost 2 years now. Cheap and reliable.

Even if you have Cam Plus it will still just randomly not record events and "forget" you have it. Wyze Video Doorbell Pro is probably the worst smart home product I will ever own.

The Wyze Video doorbell pro is great. [Link](https://ca.wyze.com/products/wyze-video-doorbell-pro) You can use it for free and get 12 second clips or pay the $1.50 a month for person/package/vehicle/dog everything detection.

I had the Wyze Video Doorbell Pro before that and it was okay, but it didn't support SD card recording and used a wall plug chime that I could barely hear throughout the house.

Only one I do not use a memory card in is the doorbell cam and that's because it doesn't have that option so I pay for an annual Cam Plus subscription solely for it only.

I have to recommend wyze. They offer the doorbell pro which doesn't require previous wiring. I recommend it not because it's the best out there, it's good but not the best for sure.

Wyze Video Doorbell Pro. Its battery powered. Have to charge every few months. I live in a building and have one attached to my door. Not perfect but pretty good. Not sure you could fit it in a lockbox and does need to be close enough to your WiFi/bluetooth to connect.

The first Wyze product I gave up was actually the doorbell (Video Doorbell Pro). I would almost never catch someone in time by the time the app opened and loaded the feed. It was embarrassing.

Mine has been working great for over a year, and in the last 4-6 months, the video stopped working and gives me the IV-2004 error code. The chime works, I get motion alerts, etc; but, no video.

I recommend Wyze Doorbell Pro as a good, affordable option. I've loved mine. Battery operated so it does require being taken inside and charged every few months.

After some time and updates my door cams have begun to get longer battery life. It's still not great but 3 months is reasonable. The only thing I'm doing is recording less and lower sensitivity.

I literally just stuck it to my door with command adhesive. You could do it on stucco if the adhesive tape flexes enough to conform to the stucco.

Wyze Video Doorbell Pro: well the "charge on the internal battery" only lasts about a month, the Wyze company doesn't offer a replacement for the security screw

I just got one a couple months ago and got it set up and working but ended up disabling the motion notifications. I don't use cam plus either on it, and it was badgering me with notifications when I was outside in the drive doing things. I do like that it records all motion events as I can review them later, and I still receive notifications if someone rings

I have had multiple doorbells - Google Nest Battery (two of them currently), Wyze Video Doorbell Pro, and Aqara G4 Doorbell - and the Nest is by far the best.

I have installed the Wyze doorbell and eventually got the Doorbell Pro and both are just as easy to install. I only needed 2 wires for both, and the install is very simple.

Once I got the pro it’s been the best most reliable doorbell I have owned. (Owned: Wyze doorbell, Ring doorbell, ring doorbell 2, and Wyze video doorbell pro)

they work with the combined 2.4ghz/5ghz network that the Wyze Video Doorbell Pro won’t connect to. The neighbors on both sides of me have ring cams and got perfect video all night, but it unfortunately doesn’t show my car.

One thing that has been bothering me with Wyze Doorbell Pro is the delay and unreliable notifications, or way too many notifications.

Reddit▲ recommend

I love my video doorbell. I have a wyze pro, but lots of other options. My cat has even figured out that if she jumps at it she will get let in.
