I was most impressed by random security cameras and video doorbells. Its just wifi, a video module, a plastic box and some components to glue it all together. Before buying one nothing is disclosed about monthly fees for limited cloud storage. Desktop clients are missing. Some how the sum of technology +1000 euro phone +Gbit internet adds up to a doorbell so slow the visitor is long gone before you get to respond verbally or in person. That is, if the notification is audible at all. The old vintage video doorbell displays the video feed pretty much instantly. The old vintage intercom allows you to talk to the visitor immediately after picking up the horn. If you lower the volume or mute my stereo or my tv, should that action also mute the doorbell???
