 Tom here from Warren systems, and we're gonna talk about the unified doorbell I think this is a really cool lineup in terms of if you already have the other protect systems This is one more piece to add it's treated like a regular camera But it has a few other enhanced features because the other unified cameras have a microphone This has a microphone, but this also has the ability to talk back to people So we're gonna do a little review of this device share my thoughts on it and talk about the total price Not what this device costs and what I mean by that is what it takes to get this set up It's not a standalone device. So if you came here wondering if it was sorry It's not it does require a system that runs unified protect so I'll be talking in beginning here about the total cost of ownership first if you could take a second to click that like button and If you'd like to learn more about me or my company head over to Lawrence systems calm If you'd like to hire short project there's a hires button right at the top if you'd like to help keep this channel Sponsor-free and thank you to everyone who already has there is a join button here for YouTube and a patreon page Your support is greatly appreciated if you're looking for deals or discounts on products and services We offer on this channel check out the affiliate links down below They're in the description of all of our videos including a link to our shirt store We have a wide variety of shirts that we sell and new designs come out Well randomly so check back frequently and finally our forums forums dot Lawrence systems commas where you can have a more In-depth discussion about this video and other tech topics you've seen on this channel now back to our content So product costs we do see the $1.99 down here And that is something I want to make sure that's read really well here because this seems to be a common question The unified protect is required to run this product with full functionality We recommend using it with unified dream machine unified protect network video recorder We're going to be using a unified network video recorder for this But I just want to make sure that's a clear upfront prerequisite. This is not a just a $1.99 device It's $1.99 as long as you already have the other devices that run protect I just want to make sure that is up front on there for people thinking This is a better price than some of the competitors out there. I don't think the price is unreasonable I just want to make sure people understand you can't just get this But what is IPS rated built-in display so you can actually chat back and forth on the display We'll show how that works real-time two-way audio with echo cancellation. Yes It does have a microphone and speaker built-in motion detection weather resistant and of course the unified protect integration We jump over here to the data sheet and you can see the IPX rating is IPX for Mount materials polycarbonate viewing angles all the little details are in here and yes It does have a built-in IR LED elimination So it does have night vision essentially so you can see someone in the dark with it resolution of sixteen hundred twelve hundred and thirty frames a second and Down through here. We have the specs like the Wi-Fi the factory reset button. There's really not much else to it There's pretty much. It's a basic setup now the advantage right off the bat here though with unified protect is going to be It stores everything locally. This is a niche ubiquities kind of you know work themselves into of providing a device that offers Local storage as opposed to cloud storage and it also means there's not a subscription fee attached to it So when I say back to the cost besides having the protect device to store it on in the camera Well, that's it You don't have to pay monthly forever for the device But you are still able to get notifications sent to your phone You're able to have two a communications over your phone So when you're not at home and someone rings the doorbell you can still have that conversation So you still get that feature of while you're at home or while you're away They don't know who's ever ringing the doorbell because you're able to interact with them But now you don't have to pay a subscription fee for that service That's I think the real big advantage they have over a lot the other ones out there now as far as what comes in the box There's a I will show them physically But I'll also just listen out here because I've already misplaced this little pushpin here No big deal. Don't worry. You can get this off just with an ink pen, but it comes with some screws it comes with a couple anchors and This right here and it has instructions how to do this is it will not only ring your phone But if you have a chime in your house It has that option to actually ring the old style chime now They in the instructions they tell you cut the power off definitely do that don't electrocute yourself And here's your two different install options one of them is just with the transformer Which is what we're gonna be doing. I don't happen to have a chime So that's what this one over here And if you do have a chime they got this little device that you add on there So it will ring the chime as well Then they go through and they have the installation instructions how to set this up and they made these nice little connectors I'll show you when we're hooking it up that made it really easy to do For plugging the wires in so you can screw the wires right down to the screws on the back of this But you can also use these little push connectors Which I chose to use because it just looks nicer and a little bit cleaner and that's these right here as shown That's how we're gonna be hooking it up This is you know all the stuff that's included in there now They also have a little spirit level that comes on there so you can level it when you're doing this So if you're not you know, you don't have a level handy nice thing is that's built in They tell you what type of drill to use put it in peel off the spirit level because it pops off it's just on a sticky and It also has this thing called the wedge and the wedges so you can instead of having it straight head on it can Be at a little bit of an angle because maybe that's more convenient for how you want to mount things and then once again They show same insulation but doing it with the little wedge essentially of putting it on there And I like at the end turn the power back on that's an important thing because if you're sitting there going why is it dead? Well, you do have to power it back on that's a Good step to leave in there turn on device now as far as a setup We are gonna walk through that I disconnected this from our network So I'm gonna walk you through how it sets up, which is actually really easy They made that part intuitive so you don't have to be very technical to set this up But one more prerequisite you already have the unified protect system I just happen to have like a cloud key gen 2 plus in my hand here But you have to have the protect system We'll be using anyone back here set up and configured on the same network that the Wi-Fi that this is going on is On that's an important aspect of it because if you put this on a different network Well, you may end up with problems So I do recommend putting in on the same network and it's pretty easy to do we'll walk you through the steps And how to get that going all right, so now let's plug it in and go through the setup on this Now a quick note about how empowering this is we ran over to the hardware store and picked up a Transformer for a doorbell. I didn't happen to have one of my building already and this is not PoE It is a Wi-Fi only. I wish it did have a network option Maybe a future version will but right now this is what we have available So let's go into the app and show you how the setup works now that we have it all powered up Now the device is ready to be set up and as soon as I opened up the app and connected to my nvr It said hey look I found a new device a doorbell camera, so we're gonna go ahead and click add Select the camera set up cameras connecting the camera locating networks And it does this all over Bluetooth by the way paste in the Wi-Fi password and Connecting to Wi-Fi it's really straightforward on the setup It's gonna take a second here to establish and it'll join to our network and momentarily Set up complete pretty fast Now we have the device we can name it We can install it with or without time box. We're gonna choose without and There's me looking at the camera You can wave to it. I can see it actually. I'll face it this way now and From here, we're gonna actually show you how we have notifications show up on it and What they look like so You can see it by looking up close. You see the little display We have that go back to the overhead and now I can have a conversation and we'll move this outside We can get a better view, but it's gonna start looping because now I'm talking on both We'll actually set this back down and also show you Stop talking and we'll press the text button here and we can say Hello YouTube and you can see whatever we pipe here. We have test save Custom message and you can just type a custom message whatever you want and Send it and those will just display right across there And that notification as you notice will actually swipe this down comes across the top of my phone so when I press this There we go. It says there's a doorbell and Let's me have a notice there and we can swipe it back down This comes up across the top of the phone pretty simple So we're gonna go ahead and stick this outside so we can get a little bit closer look But first let's take one more close look at the back of this to show you how the hookups look So it's really basic. It's just these two wires Like I said, they got these little push in there and this is nice I mean you can run the wires direct and screw them down But this is much cleaner the way they offer this and the same thing with the hardware they provide Which is this device here for hooking it up to your chime if you have one same little push-end connectors Now this is to take one quick look though at the wedge and how this actually goes on so we have this part here So it's going to set flat Oh, by the way, it does have a light which is not particularly useful in my opinion It's not very bright it faces down kind of illuminate your porch, but It does have the IR inside of here, so it will illuminate with the night vision So this is not part of you know any night vision. That's all built in right here But the wedges in case your door isn't necessarily right next to it Maybe it's offset and you want it to face more towards your door. That's where it has the wedge This is the other backing that you can use this is the one we are going to be using we're doing a flush mount And this is a comment. I will have about it now first watch what happens when I power it down It will do a countdown. So we're gonna pop this out Shutting down and the nice thing about this while it's shutting down. I still have a video feed and The reason that's important. I'm gonna make evident to you So shutting down is what happens when it goes through the power off and so we unplugged it It's powered off, but there was you know about five second countdown And I think that's important because one thing I noticed about these cameras I don't know how much this is an issue and also I noticed if you notice in beginning I mentioned I don't know where the little push pin is don't worry I don't need it because all you need is a large system ink pen or one of equivalent size and that little Tab that snapped in here and you can open this up my thought And why I don't know if this is a real problem or not is wow that was easy So if this is mounted and someone wants a doorbell They can press the tiny little button in there and just remove the doorbell But because there's a battery in there It's last few moments would be hopefully someone running and looking at it themselves They go through and now you have some type of evidence while they're running across the yard with your doorbell Until it comes either out of Wi-Fi range or that four second countdown comes down So I would recommend if you install one of these and you are worried about that scenario that after you put this on Wherever you're going to mount it to that you cover this little bottom piece So where it's mounted flush the door putting any little thing It can be even some type of screw that goes underneath just to block access to that if you know are worried about it easily coming off I don't know how much of a concern it is, but it's something. I thought I'd mention anyways Alright, let's go ahead and get this hooked up outside so we can get a better view of the video and understand it a little bit deeper I have the doorbell temporarily mounted This is arms length away. There's cars driving around and this video is directly from the doorbell I'm doing it outside so you can understand the microphone understand how it works Maybe you hear an ambulance in the background, but it works This is the recording audio and let me stand about this far away Which would probably really not sound as good as if I was this close to it, and you figure people are this close to your door And I also wanted to make sure there's plenty of ambient noise so you can see the camera Understand the ambient noise and see just how wide angle it is when I'm standing about arms length away So as I said that video was right from the doorbell And I think you can hear people standing in front of the doorbell quite well the microphone picks up good Even with the ambient noise and an ambulance going by it's still pretty good quality for both the video and audio really nice wide angle The downside is the other person when you're using your phone to talk back to them If there's a lot of noise going on it's hard to hear and of course we're on a main street So there's a lot of traffic, but it's not particularly loud. So that's one downside of it They don't have a very big speaker on there So just keep that in mind But of course too if you could just articulate read the screen and send them a message like you know leave package at the door Or whatever I think you've pretty much reached the goal But at least comment that yeah, it was not easy to hear when my staff was trying to talk to me over the phone Getting back so that's that's one downside I have found about this. I don't know if that can be fixed I don't know if they can adjust that in firmware make a little bit louder But either way that's the way it is now inside of unified protect is the last piece We're gonna cover and this is really cool Inside of here. It's treated just like a regular camera We have the ability to have status sounds on or off inside of here when you're changing the settings Have the time overlaid the camera name overlaid Recording options motion events I wouldn't record always or maybe we only record on a motion event like that So it's just like any other unified camera. It also supports motion zones So if we had the street for example, we'll grab it over here And we'll move this down. So maybe we want to create only a zone where This is in view but not people in the street So we know when people are coming up but not that these are some abilities You have to fine-tune the motion of where and you can have multiple zones where you want it to capture And it's gonna be important especially if you are on a busy street where you don't want every card going by to create a motion event because it makes it harder to find things the time-lapse feature which is part of The unify system so we'll go over here and we'll go a camera that has more time-lapse video on it What time-lapse means is not necessarily a time-lapse as much as a way to quickly jump through and See times when people came and went and packages when they're moving so you can jump to an area in the video I like this feature quite a bit and the camera once again is supported on there. So back over to the camera device I go to the door here and finally I will mention they have the ability to set up RTSP streams So if you wanted export to something else But no it does not support other more standard protocols the only options are these RTSP streams or Using it inside the unify protect system. That's really it then we have the option to reboot Disable the chime if you had a chime on there and disable the microphone Which would completely defeat the purpose of this So I'd probably recommend leaving a microphone enable final last thing I will mention is the Magic video tube, which is how we display things that are behind us now The magic video tube I've done a video on this before and we can go here and we're going to create a view So we go to live view and we're going to edit this view save and Now we have a live view. That's for the doorbell cam. So that will go back over here and Go back to the UFP view port next I got a separate review. I've done of this and then we can change it to that And now when we look behind me The TV that's got that hooked up is now displaying the viewport So that's actually a nice feature because it's once again tree like any other camera on the unify system I can add it to my you know constant running display of camera views So I can see who's at the door So if you wanted to put a monitor up there You can leave the front porch monitor along with any other unify cameras in your protect system and put them All on there so I think that's a pretty cool feature overall and the unified viewport I know people thought well once again, it's another kind of expensive device at $1.99 But compared to some of the other commercial options out there. I'm gonna say it's a pretty reasonably priced So once again, we start building this all out as one big ecosystem and you've already got the unified protect device You've already got the NBR. You've already got you know, so many of these unified cameras It's kind of like well if you're gonna have a doorbell You may as well get the unified one and complete the ecosystem now I've done a separate review of the overall protect ecosystem and I over overall I'm gonna say it's one of the easiest ones to use and I've Handfold of the ones especially when you look at the commercial ones granted You're gonna start getting exponentially more features, but those often come with descriptions more expensive licensing fees And this whole system doesn't so adding more cameras is as simple as buying more devices and adding more doorbells Is as simple as buying more doorbells and you can put a few of them out there Maybe you have more than one entrance you want to cover and it's not sending it to the cloud So you're able to you know have it all stored locally all the videos local It's easy to download the video and find the clip you're looking for and you know save it for whatever reasons you want But like I said pretty neat system you can get it all on the unified site I believe it's all out of stock right now, but when it's in stock keep checking back and they'll have them available I don't know when they're coming to Amazon Once off so really new it takes a while sometimes to trickle down to get over there Thanks, and thank you for making it to the end of the video if you like this video Please give it a thumbs up if you'd like to see more content from the channel hit the subscribe button and hit the bell icon If you like YouTube to notify you when new videos come out If you'd like to hire us head over to Lawrence systems comm fill out our contact page And let us know what we can help you with and what projects you'd like us to work together on If you want to carry on the discussion head over to forums not Lawrence systems comm or we can carry on the Discussion about this video other videos or other tech topics in general even suggestions for new videos They're accepted right there on our forums, which are free Also, if you like to help the channel in other ways head over to our affiliate page We have a lot of great tech offers for you and once again.
