Customer Reviews

Swann Buddy Video Doorbell & Chime (Wireless, 4K, Night Vision, Motion Detection, Two-Way Audio) is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 42.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Setup, Works Great, No Fees I've had this doorbell for a week and so far it's been fantastic, I had it up and running in less than 10 minutes. You'll just need a phillips head screwdriver if you want to screw the mounting bracket into a wall (although they also included double sided tape if you don't want to drill), plus a smaller phillips head screwdriver if you wish to lock it to the mount. I stumbled on Swann's doorbell as I didn't want to pay monthly storage fees to Ring or Arlo. Swann's one has a 32GB card in the back and a day of free cloud backup as well so I'll never have to worry. The video quality is great & I like that I can move the chime around the house to hear it better if I'm in the garden.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Setup, Crystal Clear View. After a week with the SwannBuddy 4K Video Doorbell, I'm genuinely impressed. The setup process was straightforward, involving minimal effort to get it up and running. The clarity of the 4K video is exceptional and it is easy to see whoever is at the door, even at night. The wide 165° viewing angle makes for some hilarious screenshots when people stop to look at the doorbell. The product did need a firmware update straight out of the box, allow 10 minutes or so this. Curious as to what battery life will be, but so far, it's barely changed since install.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera image quality is pretty good, even at night with its built-in IR emitter. It's perfect for what I need it for. The other thing I appreciate is the different settings it gives you which helps you a lot with getting your setup just right, such as only detecting motion on selected parts of the camera. That way you can keep it from activating from a tree moving in the wind but still catch people walking up to the house. Even if people don't ring the bell I still can get a notification on my phone. They also have been constantly updating the software/firmware to add new feature

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice camera quality but lack advance features like supporting Alexa/Google Camera quality and night visions are great and works great with app. You may need to purchase larger memory size card but no mention of whats maximum size card it supports. Also does not support Alexa or Google which allows to view video on Alexa Echo screen.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Laggy as…….. I bought this doorbell and set it all up as per the instructions, but it’s so laggy through the app, in have very fast internet connection so this isn’t the issue. I have the software on my phone and on my built in AirTouch 5 system and most of the time I don’t get any notifications to say someone has pressed the doorbell or by the time the app loads that people has left because it takes so long for the app to load. Waste of my money buying this should have gone another brand.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The app for this security camera is amazing. Ring could take a lesson in the functionality of the services they offer. You can schedule your camera to be off when you are home and on when you are gone. There is even a usage log to see your highest trafficked times of the day. The audio and video are pretty clear as well. A Little laggy but could just be my network. Overall I think it is a really good product. I don't know much about the brand or its security from hackers. I took a star away for the appearance. It kinda looks like a kids toy and I don't really like that the intercom/speaker is separate. Other than that great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I should have got this sooner [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just installed us a few weeks ago and I absolutely love how easy it was to install and that it’s compatible with my smart phone. It also has high resolution, video quality, wide field of you, and even has amazing features like motion, detection, and two-way audio.  I love that people walk up to our door, knowing that they are being recorded, and that I can view in real time. This is such a lifesaver, and I even feel safer away and at home. I could not recommend enough. This is so easy to use and is even better than I had hoped for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New 4K Buddy Doorbell Purchased this doorbell and will say one thing…BRILLANT!! The fact that this doorbell not only has amazing 4K resolution, I love that it gives me full view of my entrance. The set up was so fast and simple and bang I was receiving alerts as soon and my deliveries started. Highly impressed and would recommend to anyone.
