Wisenet SmartCam D1 video doorbell review: Great video quality, but its facial-recognition feature is a joke

If you're considering buying a video doorbell, the Wisenet SmartCam D1 should be on your shortlist. The image is sharp, clear, and comparable to the Nest Hello,TechHive's current top doorbell pick. It's relatively good at ignoring passing cars and other spurious movement, but I found one of its key detection features--facial recognition--had a difficult time catching visitors. Like its competitors, the doorbell will send an alert to a linked Android of Apple phone when someone presses the bell. You can talk to whoever is at the door using your phone anywhere you have an internet connection. The sharp video from the SmartCam D1, coupled with a bunch of controls, is one of the features to love about this product.
