Doorbell or camera ?

Doorbell - is very disappointing
I have spent a lot of money with Reolink NVR plus cameras, and solar cameras, now I have got the doorbell on the NVR
Great…. It is not a smart doorbell, just a tidy camera, you get a notification along with all of the other phone notification's….. why does the smart phone not have a visual and audible alarm that indicates there is someone at the door?
Just disappointed and considering alternatives to Reolink

Yes we all agree that the door bell was a very big let-down hope the Feb. FW update will make a defence

I already had Reolink Nvr system and loved it

So I watched you tube reviews like :

This Is The King Of Video Doorbells
Everything Smart Home

This is the ONE to GET!
LifeHackster <<<I'm not sure what doorbell they were reviewing but it definitely wasn't the one I'm using

Then spent a full day running a Poe cable to the front door and removing a perfectly good ring doorbell to find out the Reolink doorbell was a huge disappointment that was released far too early
