Set the doorbell

HE Bextgoo P5, comes to us with everything necessary for its implementation. Even vehicles. Of course, it will be necessary to use a drill for installation. And yet no need for cables or outlets, we need to check that our WiFi network reaches the installation area. If not, we can solve this with a network amplifier.

Once these preliminary checks are done, all you have to do is download the CloudEdge app. We can find it completely free on Google Play or in the Apple App Store.

This application is very easy to configure. Of course, as is usual with most such devices, only supports 2.4GHz network. It is common for our router to support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks. In my case I am using Mesh network and 2.4GHZ has a specific name and a different password. You should check it on your router.

Home bell on your mobile phone

It is very simple to use once you set up everything, both the app on the mobile phone and the doorbell on the wall.

Each time the doorbell is pressed, it will ring like any traditional doorbell throughout the house. But this is on Bextgoo, also on our mobile phone. We will receive a notification and when we open it we will receive an incoming call. This will allow us to see (and hear) who is on the other side of the door.

We can talk to our interlocutor from our mobile phone and even change our voice. Although it defaults to original audio output There is a possibility to change our voice. Something that little ones will definitely find hilarious.

Of course, this wireless doorbell includes: surveillance function. When the function is activated, we will automatically send notifications to our smartphone every time the door is approached. Without having to press the doorbell.

All these recordings can be stored on a MicroSD card, and when viewing live we can do this using Alexa and Google Assistant.

It also includes a for our safety. tamper warning. If someone tries to manipulate the doorbell or remove the memory card the installation needs to be disassembled, an alarm would go off and we would get a warning on our mobile phone.

Bextgoo Q5: Is it worth it?

After trying this for a while Bextgoo P5 It seems to me that it’s worth it if you need one of these smart doorbells. Especially if it’s your first home automation device and you don’t need integration with other devices.

It is true that, as with most devices of this type, we cannot receive the call directly when you press the doorbell button. Is necessary turn on notification in advancesomething that can be configured.

Moreover, Plug is not included in the sales package. A necessary thing to charge the device and operate the doorbell. This is also USB type A, and most of the chargers we have are USB-C anyway.

But, won’t let us down on a daily basis. Its independence is excellent (for months), it is waterproof, and the doorbell is strong enough for us to wire into our home. We can also share its use with the rest of the family through the application.
