Frustrating no one reviews doorbird. It's a pretty great product overall. I am disappointed in their night viewing on the new model D1101V.

The IR ring causes some serious wash-out. I'm angry that there was no offer to fix it, and by time i installed it it was too late to return. Day view and even night view with a porch light is great. Does SIP calling as well. I would NOT buy it if you want night recording 24/7 with it, it does hook to the NVR for 24/7 recording. That IR washout problem is just pure garbage, and it can be fixed with some tape. I'd love to shame them into fixing it, everything else about it is great. It really soured my opinion from the others I've bought from them. (D2101KV, D2103V, and D101S)
