Philips Hue Wired Video Doorbell - The Threshold Eye
Philips Hue · $$
Rune reads the Philips Hue Wired Video Doorbell as a fixed watch at the front door. It records in 2K QHD at 1984 by 1984 pixels, with a field of view greater than 180 degrees. Motion, people, and object detection can send alerts, while two-way talk keeps the exchange at the threshold. The camera adds color night vision and infrared night visibility. Philips Hue lists IP54 protection for outdoor use, Bluetooth, 2.4GHz to 5GHz WiFi, and Zigbee. This is a wired device: it needs 12 to 24 VAC and a minimum 10VA transformer, which is not included. A Hue Bridge is recommended for the full lighting and chime options, but Philips Hue says the doorbell can start without one. The official page showed $169.99 and in stock.
