Massive disappointment with the new PoE doorbell I just received.

After watching an countless Youtube shills promoting the doorbell (and waiting nearly a year more before it became available), not one of them mentioned this is NOT a proper video doorbell. This device is nothing more than a camera with a button to trigger an indoor chime.

It's possible to setup phone notifications via email or the app but these are wholly insufficient. They are delayed too much to be useful. A custom sound helps on the phone but these are missed when on silent. Even in the best circumstances when you are immediately aware of the notifications, you have to fumble with the phone to get a live view & converse with the visitor. By this time, most visitors are gone.
