Wyze Video Doorbell Pro

Verdict

Wyze Video Doorbell Pro is the stronger pick for most people, offering a tall, detailed square view, smarter features, an included chime, and good overall value at its price, though its fisheye distortion and easy-to-remove mount slightly reduce polish and theft resistance.

Pros

  • Price & value 2 reviews 4.8
    Reviewers see the Wyze Video Doorbell Pro as one of the best budget values, combining an included chime, a tall 1 to 1 video view, and strong smart features at around ninety dollars, often edging out cheaper rivals on overall capability.
  • Chime 3 reviews 4.7
    The included plug in chime doubles as a Wi Fi extender, providing reliable indoor alerts without extra purchases while also helping keep the doorbell’s connection strong.
  • Field of view & framing 3 reviews 4.7
    Its square 1 to 1 view provides a clear head to toe perspective and shows packages at the doorstep, with reviewers appreciating how much of the vertical space it captures compared with older widescreen designs.
  • Video resolution & detail 2 reviews 4.5
    The Pro model’s 1440×1440 square video looks sharp for a mid priced doorbell, giving enough detail to recognize faces and read the doorstep scene clearly up close, and its strong dynamic range and tall view help with identification, though the fisheye style and softness at longer distances can slightly blur fine detail.
  • Installation & Mounting 1 review 4.5
  • Object & person detection 1 review 4.5
    Person detection works consistently, with approach and doorstep clips tagged as person events, helping owners quickly find the most important recordings without digging through generic motion alerts.
  • Power Options & Compatibility 1 review 4.5
  • Wi-Fi range & stability 1 review 4.5
  • Notifications 2 reviews 4.3
    Notifications benefit from the dual band extender chime, which strengthens the wireless link so motion and button press alerts tend to arrive quickly for a battery powered doorbell.
  • App, software & firmware 1 review 4.0
    The Wyze app delivers timely alerts and helpful smart features out of the box, and when paired with the low cost Cam Plus plan it adds more intelligent detection without feeling overwhelming, though connecting to live view after tapping a notification can take a moment.
  • Audio 1 review 4.0
  • Delivery package monitoring 1 review 4.0
  • Quick-reply / pre-recorded message usefulness 1 review 4.0
  • Recording 1 review 4.0
    The camera reliably records motion and button press events during everyday use and tests, saving clips of deliveries and visitors so you can review what happened even if the live view feels a bit slow to load.
  • Subscription 2 reviews 3.8
    Wyze’s optional Cam Plus subscription is inexpensive at around two dollars a month and adds smarter detection and recording features, making it a good value add on for owners who want extra intelligence without high ongoing fees.

Cons

  • Battery & Charging 2 reviews 3.0
  • Design aesthetics 2 reviews 2.8
  • Lens distortion handling 1 review 2.5
    The doorbell’s wide angle lens uses a fisheye style that expands vertical coverage but introduces noticeable warping, so while you see more of the porch, straight lines and fine details near the edges can look slightly distorted.
  • Theft & Tamper 1 review 2.0
    Because the battery powered unit mounts to a simple bracket, it can be removed fairly easily even with an extra screw, so it offers limited deterrence to someone determined to steal the doorbell.
