When I first purchased and installed this door bell, it worked fine. Really starting to regret skybell all together now. For something that originally worked great out of the box and had no flaws and did everything exceptionally well, it’s baffling how a reputable company can take something so positive and screw it all up. Well now I’ve waited a whole month and the only thing that has happened as the skybell motion sensing has gotten even worse. They said this time that would be closer to two weeks.

I was told that yes I would have to keep waiting because it was taking them longer than normal and that they were having to do the upgrades one by one.

#SKYBELL HD UPGRADE#
I was told that others were having a similar issue and that I need to let them upgrade me from version 5017 to 5025. About a month ago I called SkyBell customer service not once but twice. All it does is activate the camera when the button is pressed but I can walk in and out of my front door ten times and it will never detect me or my roommate. When I first installed this 3.5 months ago it worked great! I mean it never missed picking up motion and anytime anybody got anywhere close to the doorbell bam! Camera on! Now it’s just an expensive normal doorbell. Like a number of others that have already reviewed this doorbell I had a similar experience. Does the cameras receive firmware updates causing reboots randomly? Any chance there will be updates to the App and firmware soon? I can’t really complain though as skybell is one of the few cams that doesn’t require a subscription which I really like and appreciate. Also I’ve noticed random disconnects from the cams to the iPhone app even though I have WiFi extenders everywhere and WiFi signal is strong. The app stopped getting updates over a year ago and it sometimes crashes and locks up.

It would be nice if night mode had a option to disable the lights so to see the actual night video instead of reflections from the led lights which drown out the pictures beyond 3-5 feet. Silicone works good around the sides to seal up bc I have spiders living in one of mine setting the motion off lol. One of the cameras motion sensor plastic cover has fallen off but still works. After a few years I had the plastic bracket just fall off and SkyBell sent me a replacement.
