A little taller than <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/764714\/best-video-doorbell\/\">competitive video doorbells<\/a>, the extra length is mostly thanks to the inclusion of an extra downward-facing camera for keeping tabs on package deliveries (more on this in a moment). The doorbell sports a white chassis with a matte-black middle section and black trimming around the bottom lens.<\/p>\n<p>The top lens can capture video at up to 2K resolution, and while I wasn\u2019t able to track down official specs for the bottom lens, I\u2019m assuming it can get fairly close to full 1080p or better; mostly because when you put both video feeds side by side, they look nearly identical. And between both lenses, you\u2019re looking at up to 190 degrees of coverage, which the company claims is the best in the world.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Flip the doorbell over and you\u2019ll find the power\/reset button, terminals for your existing doorbell wiring, and a detaching mechanism for the mounting harness. Sandwiched between both lenses is the doorbell button, which leads us to the Chime accessory itself. About the size of an outlet-based fragrance emitter, the Lindo Chime is perfect for those of us without an existing doorbell system. When you press the button, the Chime emits three loud tones to let you know someone\u2019s at the door.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-151897\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/04\/7ef0c4bf.jpeg\" alt=\"The Lindo Pro Dual Camera Video Doorbell's Chime accessory plugged into an outlet.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Michael Bizzaco \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Lindo Pro is also equipped with three different kinds of monitoring tech, including PIR and radar motion sensors, on top of traditional motion-scanning <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>.

The company claims you\u2019ll get up to six months of use on a single charge, and you can easily recharge the cell using the included USB-C cable. For my own testing purposes, I went with battery power.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/445799\/how-to-install-a-video-doorbell\/\">official setup<\/a>, if you haven\u2019t already, you\u2019ll want to download the Lindo Life app (for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/lindo-life-dual-cam-doorbell\/id1625011336?at=1010l392g&amp;ct=rg151890\">iPhone\/iPad<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=14d03d76e0a6285761e58439513dfd19&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.lindolife.android&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Android<\/a>) to sign up for a Lindo account and activate your Lindo Pro. Next, go ahead and plug in the Chime to whatever wall outlet it\u2019s going to live in. Once the front-facing LED turns red, grab the Lindo Pro and press the power button until you hear a beep. Now you\u2019ll want to use the app to connect your Lindo Pro to your Wi-Fi network (2.4GHz only).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Throwing up the mounting assembly is pretty straightforward. Use the stencil to mark off where you\u2019ll be drilling pilot holes (if necessary) or inserting screws, and use the 15-degree wedge piece if you need to introduce a little more angling to the Pro\u2019s field of view. With the harness in place, simply slide the Lindo Pro in from the top, and you\u2019re all set to start using it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_Quality_You_May_Never_Even_Need_HDR\"><\/span>Video Quality: You May Never Even Need HDR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Max Resolution:\u00a0<\/strong>2K<\/li>\n<li><strong>Field of\u00a0View:\u00a0<\/strong>Up to 190 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>HDR:\u00a0<\/strong>Included<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery Life:\u00a0<\/strong>Up to 6 months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Lindo Pro shoots at up to 2K resolution, along with HDR for enhanced colors and contrast, and let me just say that the quality of the footage is quite superb. Simply put, the Lindo Pro captures some of the best-looking real-time and recorded video of any Wi-Fi-connected <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/755585\/best-security-camera\/\">security camera<\/a> I\u2019ve ever tested, and I\u2019m comparing it to big names like Ring and SimpliSafe.<\/p>\n<p>The front hall of my apartment building is a great testing space for video doorbells because of the super-bright LED sconces on the walls. Most cameras I\u2019ve tested in the past have a hard time contending with the big push of these powerful bulbs, resulting in footage that is often overexposed and riddled with artifacts, but that wasn\u2019t the case with the Lindo Pro. When viewing real-time feeds from both lenses, everything looked clear and crisp, especially in terms of color. From the gray walls to the navy-patterned carpeting, there was little detail lost in Wi-Fi-connected translation; and while there was a tiny bit of blockiness around the sconces and wall sections closet to the light source, it was just a slight loss of detail that\u2019s rather on par for the course when it comes to web-connected surveillance gear of any kind.<\/p>\n<p>And quite honestly, HDR (which <i>is<\/i> <i>not<\/i> toggled on by default) didn\u2019t do very much to correct the blockiness. In fact, in my time using the camera, I didn\u2019t really notice <i>any<\/i> difference between standard 2K footage and live views\/recordings enhanced through HDR\u2014during the day. But if you\u2019re dealing with a light-starved environment come nightfall, HDR can always help to fill in some missing details obscured by shadows.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Still, though, it\u2019s not a massive image quality booster, and I suspect that having HDR turned on is a quicker drain for the battery and a bigger pull on your network bandwidth. So if you <i>really <\/i>don\u2019t need it, I\u2019d keep HDR shut off.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Action_Solid_Performance_with_a_Few_Hitches\"><\/span>In Action: Solid Performance with a Few Hitches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As far as functionality goes, the Lindo Pro works like a charm. Whenever someone approaches the camera, you\u2019ll receive a notification on whatever device the Lindo Life app is installed on (more on the app below). I personally liked that these pings are also in the form of rich notifications, where you\u2019ll see a preview image of who or what was detected in your phone\u2019s notification blurb, along with descriptive text that describes the trigger (person detection, someone ringed the doorbell, etc.). Tapping one of these notifications will bring you into the event log of the Lindo app, where you\u2019ll be able to play back whatever footage was captured.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lindo claims that the Lindo Pro\u2019s response time clocks in at about three seconds, and I can totally stand behind this claim. Considering the ARM processor that the doorbell uses, Wi-Fi stability is the name of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> here. My own router is located about 30 feet from the door where my Lindo Pro was mounted, and at no point did I ever have any dropout issues, even with a door and a few interior walls standing between the doorbell and the router.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I also had no trouble with using the included Lindo Chime. Whenever the doorbell button was pressed, the Chime reacted almost instantly, sounding out three loud tones to let me know someone was at the door. Two-way chat worked very well, too. The audio was crisp and clear on both ends, and the in-app feature is quick and easy to use.<\/p>\n<p>Now as far as getting into the app goes (and I have more to say about this below), there <i>is <\/i>a little bit of lag time between tapping a notification and getting into the event log. It\u2019s only about four or five seconds, but in the event that you\u2019re trying to access footage, if there\u2019s an emergency afoot, you\u2019ll need to be prepared for some level of buffering to occur; and this carries over into the initial camera feed\/recording, too. Whenever I would first load a video clip or fire up the Lindo Pro\u2019s live view, the picture would sort of \u201cdownload\u201d as I was looking at it, filling in exposure, color, and contrast details within the first few seconds of image-launch.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like I\u2019m making it sound like things look super blurry at first sight, which isn\u2019t the case. But imagine this little nighttime scenario: An intruder approaches, issuing a notification to your phone. When you first launch the Lindo Pro\u2019s live view, it takes a few solid seconds for the feed to optimize, and in the time it takes to go from low- to high-res, the intruder steals a prized porch plant and takes off into the night. In-camera, you can see how tall they were and what color clothing they were wearing, but some blockiness in the head area makes it nearly impossible to know what their face looked like.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All I\u2019m saying is, in the world of security cameras, the more readily-accessible detail, the better.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lindo_Life_App_All_the_Tools_You_Need\"><\/span>The Lindo Life App: All the Tools You Need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Works With:\u00a0<\/strong>iOS and Android<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voice Assistant Compatibility:\u00a0<\/strong>Coming soon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever used a video doorbell app, or any smart camera app for that matter, the Lindo Life app should look and feel pretty familiar. The \u201cMy Home\u201d screen will give you a breakdown of all the Lindo hardware and supported third-party devices currently connected to your network. In the case of the Lindo Pro, you\u2019ll see a thumbnail of the last-viewed vantage, along with options for snoozing, a \u201cSettings\u201d button, and a top menu ribbon with motion detection, Wi-Fi, and battery level indicators.<\/p>\n<p>Tapping the thumbnail will put you into the Lindo Pro\u2019s live view, which is first displayed in portrait orientation, where the top feed is your standard wide-angle lens, and the bottom is the feed from the downward-facing camera. Turning your phone sideways (or tapping the \u201cLandscape\u201d button in the bottom-right corner of the top feed) will give you a much wider top-lens image, while relegating the package camera to more of a picture-in-picture display.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A ribbon along the bottom of the screen features five different commands. From left to right, these include \u201cSnapshot\u201d (for grabbing a quick photo of the current live view), \u201cRecord\u201d (for manually capturing a video clip), \u201cChat\u201d (for using two-way audio to converse with visitors) \u201cResponse\u201d (for delivering system-generated responses when you\u2019re not home or don\u2019t feel like chatting with the person at the door), and a \u201cSound\u201d on\/off toggle.<\/p>\n<p>Tapping the \u201cSettings\u201d button (top-right icon when in live view) will bring you to a dashboard chock-full of customizations and monitoring features. Right toward the top of the screen, you\u2019ll see \u201cMotion Detection,\u201d \u201cAuto Respond,\u201d and \u201cPower Manager\u201d settings. Tapping \u201cMotion Detection\u201d will allow you to toggle motion detection on\/off, adjust detection type and sensitivity, and create up to four Activity Zones (motion outside of these areas will be ignored). There\u2019s also a toggle on\/off for \u201cPackage Detection\u201d (which is currently being beta-tested and doesn\u2019t seem to work).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now when navigating between the live view and different settings panels, the Lindo Life app did an awful lot of buffering. And while these little load-ins didn\u2019t take more than a few seconds to get through, it was a little frustrating to have to keep waiting for certain menus to open up.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Back on the dashboard, tapping \u201cAuto Respond\u201d lets you pre-record a voice response that guests will hear whenever they hit the Chime button, and \u201cPower Manager\u201d will allow you to further adjust motion detection to maximize battery life. You\u2019ll also see options for \u201cVideo,\u201d \u201cAudio,\u201d \u201cPrivacy Zone,\u201d and \u201cNotification\u201d settings, and I recommend making a few adjustments here.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For starters, if you\u2019re all about getting the sharpest-looking footage possible, hop into \u201cVideo Settings\u201d and toggle HDR on (as mentioned, it\u2019s off by default). You\u2019ll also see some handy customizations for \u201cNight Vision,\u201d the best of which is the ability to keep the built-in spotlights set to their brightest output for optimal nighttime live views and recording.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Back on the Home Screen, tap the \u201cEvents\u201d button at the bottom of the page to see a log of all motion-triggered and manually recorded video clips, which can be filtered by event type and day of the week. Tapping a clip will bring you to a playback screen that replays the footage, with options to download and share the video.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s super-nice about the Lindo Pro is that you\u2019ll get three days of free video storage to Lindo\u2019s servers, and while it\u2019s not the 30 or 60 days you\u2019ll get from competitive doorbells, these one- or two-month event logs are usually tethered to a monthly subscription cost. That\u2019s not the case with Lindo, and if you <i>do <\/i>decide to sign up for the company\u2019s monthly membership, benefits include offline recording and a permanent collection of recordings and snapshots.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Overall, I found the Lindo Life app to include just about everything a video doorbell app should have, but be prepared for typos galore. For the most part, nothing will be impossible to decipher, but some item descriptions can be difficult to understand. I\u2019m a bit of a stickler for clean copy in control apps, and whenever I see lots of typos, I go on high alert. Why? Because in my opinion, a lack of lingo-driven quality assurance can often be a sign of a lackluster product or service. As far as Lindo goes, though, the tech and features are rock-solid.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Buy_the_Lindo_Pro_Dual_Camera_Video_Doorbell\"><\/span>Should You Buy the Lindo Pro Dual Camera Video Doorbell?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Lindo Pro Dual Camera Video Doorbell has truly got what it takes to become a go-to video doorbell, and don\u2019t forget about all the features you\u2019re getting that <i>aren\u2019t <\/i>locked behind a paywall. Now there are still a few bugs to work out, and while these are mostly in the form of the in-app menu and command descriptions and footage buffering, if you\u2019re all about a clean user interface and lightning-fast response times, you should know that these are the areas where the product needs some work.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the other side of the Lindo Pro coin: Lindo is one of the only companies that includes a downward-facing camera, opening your total vantage up to 190 degrees, which is pretty awesome if you ask me.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"rating\" style=\"width: 30%;\">\nRating: <strong>7\/10<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"more-info-hover\" data-nosnippet=\"\">?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"rating-info\" data-nosnippet=\"\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 &#8211; Absolute Hot Garbage<\/li>\n<li>2 &#8211; Sorta Lukewarm Garbage<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Strongly Flawed Design<\/li>\n<li>4 &#8211; Some Pros, Lots Of Cons<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; Acceptably Imperfect<\/li>\n<li>6 &#8211; Good Enough to Buy On Sale<\/li>\n<li>7 &#8211; Great, But Not Best-In-Class<\/li>\n<li>8 &#8211; Fantastic, with Some Footnotes<\/li>\n<li>9 &#8211; Shut Up And Take My Money<\/li>\n<li>10 &#8211; Absolute Design Nirvana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<p>Price: <strong>$170<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Exceptional video quality<\/li>\n<li>Simple setup<\/li>\n<li>Lots of great app features<\/li>\n<li>Package detection works well<\/li>\n<li>No paywall for cloud storage<\/li>\n<li>Chime is a nice addition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Some buffering issues<\/li>\n<li>Lindo Life app can be hard to understand<\/li>\n<li>No voice assistant compatibility (at this time)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
