It's the lowest entry point into smart homes.
Only if you put it outside the basement door
DaaaAaaD!!
I dont have a smart doorbell because I cant decide which to get. I am screwed by indecision if this is the lowest barrier for entry.
I don't want anything that records to the cloud, because then I don't control the footage. And pretty much all of them do that now...
The ones that support HomeKit do record to the cloud, but it's at least encrypted. There's failure points, so it's not a fool-proof system, but it's considerably better system than most cloud camera systems that will joyfully hand over your videos to the police without a warrant or store it in some S3 bucket that doesn't even have user level access controls.
In that it will appeal most to the people at the lowest end of the IQ range?
