Great price but only for a few days.
You think
Yes. Way too expensive for what you are getting.
Also, can they record to your own device or are you required to subscribe?
Records to Synology NAS. Can subscribe to cloud if wanted.
I hope it could accept and sign the parcel for you. Otherwise I would get Ring LOL

Before posting a bargain
Is this really the best price on the web? Check for the lowest prices.
meh
xiaomi homekit + xiaofang camera does the same thing for less than $100
Can it open an electric lock?
Can it integrate with a smart lock?
Is it reliable?
That's OK. Lots of our customers are upgrading from a xiaomi system or similar.
Why the negative votes for the person above? Its fair that he can point out what he thinks are the pluses for his product.
I probably wouldn't buy this product it doesn't seem worth the price to me. I have a different setup (using cbus, and ring) that does very similar however, this still could be a bargain for the quality and features compared to other products.
@allanphillips: why does it need to? google home/alexa does that for me via a smart door lock from yale/kwikset/assaabbloy more secure anyway
@supabrudda: Well you're kind of right… they don't actually have a doorbell. The camera and homekit does not present a button for your visitor to press, or a way for you to communicate with them.
Having said that, some of my customers have complained about Xiaomo in general. Specifically - always need to buy an Australian adaptor, some notifications come up in Chinese, terrible speaker quality.
Price in title please
Sorry, added.
So how come it says $570 on the web page?
Different model
My postie would have carded and gone before I even fired the app up. Wouldn't pay that sort of money for it anyway……
or have a 90 year old postman
How long does it take you to get to the door? quicker than opening an app?
Probably about the same… IF the phone is near me at the time. I don't have the phone in my hand ready to click on an app at a moment's notice most of the time.
I have the same issue with my postman but now he knows and he waits a moment to see if i will answer on the ring door bell. I can then open the garage for him and he signs on my behalf.
my door bell cost me $49
my door bell was included in the house price
Can you answer it when you're not at home?
i dont answer it when im at home, so why would i answer it when im not home?
@tuzii: To check who is at your house. To let them in if you know them. To organise a time for them to come back. To tell them you are at home but can't come to the door if they look dodgy. To call the police if it looks like they're going to break in anyway.
@allanphillips: that technology is so ripe for hacking. Mind boggling for me that people expose their properties like this.
@wolfshooter: Legitimate concern. Other brands have been exposed to have security issues. Doorbird is secure.
@tuzii: I can appreciate your viewpoint @tuzii. I didn't expect such negativity and trolling. I thought if people weren't interested they would skip on to the next thing. I was going to do nothing, but then decided to engage with comments that were wrong or ill-informed, by just being direct and stating facts. Doesn't seem to be working out that well! Lol
@allanphillips: Pentagon, Whitehouse, FBI, CIA all thought they were secure as well.
Security claims are BS.
If someone hacks this, your front door is open = no insurance claim.
On which the previous owner / the builder has jacked up the price 200% hehehe
WOW
How is this a bargain? Why would I pay this outrageous price instead of buying a much cheaper Ring?
Reliability, performance, integration, and security.

How is unlocking your frint door ovee the internet secure?
How are updates/patches rolled out?
Who checks your source code (is it open source so the world can check it's secure?)
How long will patches/updates be pushed out for this device?
When it fails, do the door unlock or remain locked?
What sort of insurance do you offer in the event of a failure which leads to loss?
Negging because cheaper elsewhere:-

Done. One unit only available for $760 INCLUDING free shipping to anywhere in Australia. Code - D201ONEOFF - https://doorbirdintercom.com.au/products/doorbird-ip-video-d…
You're welcome.
Something makes me think you made that code with scorn pouring out of your mouth rather than a glint in your eye.
@thevofa: Anyone involved with ecommerce understands that sometimes this happens on eBay. I actually posted that code in good faith.
Only about $500 more than ring 2 https://ring.com/video-doorbell-2 It would want to be streets better than the cheaper doorbird model "The DoorBird D101 delivers sharp 720p live video and detailed night vision, but it doesn't record video and it's the bulkiest, priciest video doorbell we've seen."- from pc mag.
D101 is better than Ring, but closer to price. D201 is full stainless steel and larger.

Not according to these reviews where ring v1 scores 3.5 vs d101 2.5!

Unfortunately for you the word associated removes any impartiality.
Keep googling. There are many pages that rate the Doorbird higher and the Ring has significant security concerns that are well published. As well as the long list of feature differences.
You are right, me being associated removes impartiality. However I researched and tested several brands before launching a store, and I know I landed on the best one. Don't expect you to take my word for it, just thought I'd put it out there.
I'm sorry Dave, I can not do that.
Different model. D202 is cheaper. (They have the wrong picture for the wrong product)
Happy to offer the same discount for this model which will bring it down to $801 including free shipping. Stock arriving in a few days. Let me know and I'll create a code.
As well as the ridiculous price, its aesthetic looks are awful. Looks like something you'd see in a prison.
Most modern houses that have the front gate door bell have a similar hardened look.
I hope it looks like this because its made out of a tough metal.
Lot of people are ragging on this. I looked into these a year or two and the price is in the range for the feature set. Its not really a good comparison to a Ring device. I have one of those and it doesn't do everything this does and its not hardened against weather like this one is. Ring is good for what it does but its not comparable to this product.
So…your advice is don't knock it until you've tried it?
I agree, I checked out what was available earlier this year.
These are expensive as doorbells, but so are all of the "smart" doorbells. And they have all have slightly different design decisions - some will work over WiFi vs Ethernet, some use batteries vs AC or POE, some record to NVR vs the cloud, some are all upfront cost vs subscription plans, and so on.
It is what it is.
I could be interested in a couple of the units to replace a Ness Smartbell system (one Door, one Gate).
Looking for something that can do:
- Ethernet Port for data & POE Powered
- Support Relay for powered door strike and gate open/close
- Support at least 10 Accounts/Devices
- Store data locally on a NAS not on "the cloud" and a quality Web App to manage the accounts / view delete etc
- Quality Andriod and iOS client apps
- All Apps must support both Door and Gate devices (how does it do this?)
Other features I'd like
- NFC support for Tap to open the door strike for both Andriod and iOS instead of using the app
- Ability to page between Client Apps (eg not just to the HW stations)
Thanks
Hi jmone,
The Doorbird does all of the above.
Looking for something that can do:
- Ethernet Port for data & POE Powered - YES
- Support Relay for powered door strike and gate open/close - YES
- Support at least 10 Accounts/Devices - YES
- Store data locally on a NAS not on "the cloud" and a quality Web App to manage the accounts / view delete etc - YES to NAS (Synology), NO to web app.
- Quality Andriod and iOS client apps - YES
- All Apps must support both Door and Gate devices (how does it do this?) - YES. If you have multiple Doorbirds you have a list in the app. Select one and you see the video and can unlock the door/gate attached to that unit. Select the other unit and the key icon unlocks the door/gate attached to the 2nd unit.
Other features I'd like
- NFC support for Tap to open the door strike for both Andriod and iOS instead of using the app - No NFC at this stage, but some of the newer more expensive models have RFID cards and fobs
- Ability to page between Client Apps (eg not just to the HW stations) - Not completely sure what your asking on this one.
Thanks - follow up Q:
- How do you manage the setup of the Units if there is not a Web Server on the unit themselves?
- With the Ness you can page/call between the clients (eg make a call using the app from one phone/tablet to another - eg the Apps are aware of each other and act like room stations)
- Shame about the lack of phone based NFC (I know of some that work with Andriod but none with iOS)
- Is it only the Synology NAS or any share?
- Is there a flush mount and surface mount models?
The setup is done via the app. From the app you scan the Qcode that comes in the box and the app connects to the Doorbird. All settings are then managed in the app.
Sorry, calling between apps is not yet supported
I believe they are working on phone NFC
Currently supported are QNAP, Synology NAS; and Hikvision and Lilin NVR's.
D101, D101S, D201 (this deal) are all surface mount. D202 is flush mount.
no deal
What is the difference between d201 and d202?
Thanks.
D201 is surface mount
D202 is flush mount
what a joke
$800 for a consumer-market doorbell is ridiculous.
There may be a small market for such things, but it ain't here.
Bargain…. Bought 50
Ridiculously expensive
