Why We Like It
The main appeal is the combination of a 2048 x 2048 4MP doorbell view and the included Home Hub. The 150° horizontal and 150° vertical field of view is useful for seeing both faces and packages near the doorstep, while the hub adds a more organized local-storage setup than a doorbell alone. The kit also keeps everyday use simple with dual-band Wi-Fi, two-way audio, quick replies, app alerts, and flexible battery or supported wired installation. For buyers who prefer local recordings and fewer ongoing service costs, this bundle has a practical feature mix.

Detailed Review
The Reolink Video Doorbell Battery with Home Hub is built for shoppers who want a front-door camera with local storage and smart alerts in one kit. The doorbell records 2048 x 2048 4MP video at 15 frames per second and uses a 1:1 view, which helps show visitors and packages in a taller, head-to-toe frame.
The doorbell supports person, vehicle, package, and visitor detection, along with two-way audio, quick replies, and app notifications. It also supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, which gives more flexibility when placing it near the front door.
The included Home Hub is the strongest reason to choose this bundle instead of the standalone doorbell. It includes a 64GB microSD card and supports two 512GB cards for local recording, while AES-128 encrypted storage adds a useful privacy layer. The hub can also help centralize compatible Reolink cameras, making the kit more appealing for shoppers building a small home security setup.
Installation is flexible because the doorbell can run on its rechargeable battery or connect to supported existing wiring for trickle charging and mechanical chime use. Battery life will vary based on settings, recording frequency, temperature, and Wi-Fi conditions, so real-world results may differ from lab estimates.
- Choose it if you want a Reolink doorbell kit with local storage, smart alerts, and a wide square view.
- Think twice if you need always-on continuous recording or broad third-party NVR support outside Reolink's setup.
