We’ve had ieGeek wireless security cameras for a while now and are very happy with them. So, when it came to choosing a video doorbell, a unit from ieGeek that uses the same app made sense. The facility of a subscription-free backup to the cloud, albeit of limited size, was attractive too. So many other video doorbells have severe limitations without a substantial monthly outlay. While the ieGeek app leads you through the video doorbell setup process very well, we did run into one snag. Our WiFi hub combines both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels under one SSID. As a result, our WiFi did not appear on the available connections list in the app. We had to temporarily disable the 5GHz channel and try the setup process again. Our hub then appeared on the list, we were able to connect successfully and the device remained connected even after the 5GHz channel was re-enabled. Other than that, setting up the unit and its associated chime was pretty straightforward. We’re very pleased that an alternative fixing method (adhesive strips) was supplied with the doorbell. The ‘ideal’ mounting spot on the wall was already in use, so we fixed the doorbell to the adjacent doorframe instead. Here, we get a WiFi signal level in excess of 80%, which is fine. Our unit is mounted roughly at shoulder height, as this seems to give the best view of an adult by our front door. The picture from the camera is very good, both during the day and at night when it switches to black and white mode. The attached photos show the installation, plus sample views both in daylight and at night. We did run into an issue with the Motion Detection setting though. For some reason, switching from ‘Off’ to ‘On’, or vice versa, is not immediately accepted by the unit. You have to take some other action, such as Live View, before the setting changes successfully. Once you recognise this quirk it’s not a big issue, but the extra step should not really be necessary. I’ve reported the issue back to ieGeek and, true to their excellent customer service, received a response that it will be investigated. It will be interesting to see if a firmware or software update is forthcoming. So far, the battery life seems good. It dropped a little quickly to begin with, but I guess that’s inevitable during setup and installation. I may add to this review after a couple of months with an update on long-term battery life. In conclusion, we’re very pleased with the ieGeek video doorbell, as we are with our two ieGeek security cameras, and would happily recommend them to anyone. Had it not been for the minor issues detailed above, we would have given the unit five stars instead of four. If those issues are addressed, we’ll happily upgrade the rating to five stars if we can. Update: We still have an issue with the Video Doorbell and Security Cameras not immediately accepting status changes such as turning on or off Motion Detection. Until you do something else, such as Go Live or View History, the changes are not actioned by the device. Also, we’re puzzled why you need an Internet connection if you are accessing the ieGeek devices from another device on the same WiFi network. This issue came to light when our ISP had a server fault. While we could access all of the ieGeek devices via the mobile network, we couldn’t via WiFi. I’ve ‘reached out’ to ieGeek’s support about this but, unusually, had no response over a week later.
