    You CAN connect it to a NVR as a channel. You have to do it directly from the NVR (connect mouse and display, add channel).

    The only issue is some functionality like quick reply, time lapse, and others no longer work. Flaky.

    For me this was one of the better options on the market. I don't have wiring run, it wasn't feasible to setup a transformer and run the wires. So a battery powered option was a major factor. I like that there is no monthly fee. Overall it works pretty well. The camera itself has good clarity. It is good about detecting people and packages. Its really nice having a doorbell. I had to play with detection settings to reduce alerts from cars just driving down our street. But after mapping out the exclusion zone its working well. My primary complaint is that the wireless connection is rather slow. I have fiber internet and have a strong wifi connection where the doorbell is mounted. But its got a terrible delay. So having a conversation is not really possible remotely if you aren't home. Honestly even loading it after an alert takes ages. Hopefully some updates to the app or firmware will come out to improve some of that. My other complaint is that the battery life is considerably worse than advertised. I got less than 2 months on the 1st charge. But with the election cycle going there was extra foot traffic and we have also been getting a lot of deliveries due to the holidays. Overall its proving to work. I was just hoping it would be a little better. I would have been fine with it being quite a bit bigger to improve the battery life and antenna. Things for the development team to consider in the future.
