But this gives you the functionality of a $200 system (Nest, Ring, etc) for ~zero cost, and not all property owners will approve a Nest camera on their porch.

- michaelt 2y agoThe way I see it, Nest and Ring are a $20 doorbell, plus a $10 range extender so you can hear the bell if you're out the back, plus a $170 home CCTV system because you're in a high crime area. Seems to me a QR code removes the $170 bit that was a key part of the Ring camera value proposition.
- quesera 2y agoThe "ring me even if I'm not at home" feature has some value also. And for people who do not live in high-crime areas, but might want the other features of a Ring camera, the value distribution would necessarily be different.
- rootusrootus 2y agoI'm in a very low (nonexistent, really) crime area and I like the camera on the doorbell. Not worried about anyone breaking in, but being able to tell at a glance whether it's a package, a neighbor, or a salesman ... that's valuable.
- aaronax 2y agoI wasn't thinking camera. Just a doorbell. https://www.honeywellstore.com/store/products/portable-wireless-doorbell-3-series-rdwl311a.htm https://www.honeywellstore.com/store/products/portable-wirel...
