If I could give zero stars, they'd be there. I picked the bell because of the modern look, that's the only thing that's hilarious. At the time of purchase it was hot news, so I couldn't even study on the internet the failure rate or shortcomings. But after two and a half years of use, I can say it's a disaster. Now it has died completely, I can't wait for a claim or replacement (and they already replaced one after my first purchase).
Key deficiencies:
1) the installation is a disaster, for a person who is a little bit technically savvy it is somehow possible, but when I see their advertising crap on the web "easy installation", I want to punch them
2) the wifi in range has to be extra strong or amplified through an extender, even if I stand next to the bell with my phone and watch streams in full hd on it, it's not enough for the bell, I don't understand why, the data streams are up but he's already on half the signal and drops out, in practice, it means the doorbell is disconnected and you don't even know it, or the delay from it to the phone (before it notifies you that someone's ringing) is so huge that by the time you get to the door, the postman's gone. it happened so many times that the poor lady knew she had to wait till I got home and came.
3) the motion recording takes place with a long delay, we have a bell on the side wall, a mailbox under it, when they bring leaflets and stuff them into the mailbox, on the video recording I can see the top of my head as the mailman leaves (the delay is more than 5 seconds), but maybe it's an intended fiction - that is, if you want your wife not to see what time you leave for a beer and what time you return, it's a blast if you run in front of the camera fast enough, not only will you not be on video, it won't even register the movement!
4) I don't know about androind, but for iOS devices you can't change the tune it plays from your phone when someone rings. and the melody is so tragically quiet even at the highest volume that even if the bell works and rings, it's easy to just not hear it (even if you have a tel. in your pocket)
5) to list all the shortcomings would be enough for a bigger book, I can't help listing at least the main ones, a few things have improved over the last year and so despite the persistent shortcomings I was hoping with a kind of naivety that they would gradually tweak everything, but now that it has died completely and I have to buy something new, I would like to discourage potential buyers of this good-looking zgarb, it's not worth the money and causes so much anger that I wouldn't give half for it anymore
only the appearance, that was the reason for the purchase
everything else

When it works, it's great, but unfortunately it doesn't always work: -(
After about a month the memory card started to fail and only the whole bell can be claimed, so I bought a new one because we can't have the wires pulled out here.
Stupidly enough, the doorbell regularly goes off if the sun shines on it, which is quite common with a doorbell and should be taken into account. The shot doesn't make sense, then the camera wouldn't see anything.
The bell occasionally cuts out and stops answering. So far, it has always rung and the doorbell at home has rung, I just haven't seen anything. I solved it with Shelly 1 in the switchboard and I can restart the bell remotely.
The bell was quite complicated to mount on the insulated facade, too bad it can't be screwed to a standard electrical box. But I knew this in advance and I was counting on it being a bit of a challenge: -) But mounting on the electrical box would be just as nice.
I see who's ringing
communication even remotely when I am not at home
super integration with iPhone/Pad/Watch/TV/Mac
Person detection works quite well
if the electronics fail, so far the mechanical bell has always rung
the memory card died after about a month
sometimes it crashes and needs to be restarted
overheats and shuts down (then turns back on)
Animal and vehicle detection does not work at all
cannot be screwed onto a standard electrical box

After my experience with the Netatmo bell, I am thinking of replacing it with a Ring bell. I know for a fact I wouldn't buy it again.
Very sensitive to Wi-Fi reception. Materially disconnected. There's a wall between the router and the bell.
Late reaction to movement of people, it usually alerts to movement only when the person is not almost in the frame anymore.
There's a rustle in the microphone.

Easy connection to any existing bell circuit (8-24v or 230v)
All the features the manufacturer describes are functional, useful and make sense
It is currently a new product and more features could be added over time, such as. the ability to restrict ringtones to certain times only (similar to the Do Not Disturb feature on your phone).
When the doorbell records people passing in front of the door in the case of a family house, it sometimes happens that the recording starts after the person passes in front of the doorbell and then you get a notification where no one is. It doesn't work like e.g. for cameras where in case of motion detection the camera marks and saves the recording a few seconds before the motion is detected because it is still recording and so you can see a meaningful recording. The bell starts recording only when it detects motion and does not know what the cannon did before.
