Reolink and Eufy win the categories they win because they earn them, and they lose the ones they lose. Ring makes lovely hardware. Nest takes a beautiful picture. I ran a Ring and its alarm for a while, and I used an Ecobee, before I ended up where I am now.

One is monthly subscriptions and the other one are issues with the cloud, which is why I've been recommending Reolink smart doorbells for years now. But, they just dropped version number two. This is the D340B battery and wired doorbell. They fixed all the major complaints from the first version and this thing might just be the answer to all of our doorbell questions. So, let's check it out.

So, if you're looking for just, you know, if you're already in the Reolink space and you want their doorbell, I highly recommend it. One thing I absolutely love about it is it comes with an indoor chime, which I don't know if other ones do, but this one it does. And it really like it really really works. If you can hear it throughout the house if you want to.

What you don't get is a microSD card, though Reolink were kind enough to send me one anyway. Which is the doorbell equivalent of, I don't know, buying a game console and realizing the controller sold separately. Design-wise, this thing is clean.
