This is our first doorbell camera and it was so easy to set up. The instructions were really clear and not having to mess with wires is a nice plus. It is capable of being hardwired which I think eventually I will do, but being able to just take it out of the box, charge it, and mount it was super nice. I got the Ivy colorway to match our dark green front door and it looks premium. Doorbell guy · lowes.com
