Yale will be announcing a new video doorbell at CEDIA next week. This model is unique as it will support Z-Wave/Zigbee/Thread in addition to Wi-Fi. It also comes with a mountable LCD screen for dedicated door monitoring. Where it supports Thread, this will likely integrate with Nest products. This could be another alternative to Ring or Skybell. Take a look here for more info.

This is interesting. It doesn’t interface at all with the standard wired doorbell but instead looks like it replaces the peep-hole in your front door. Will be interesting to see how it works when they release it.
I want this. I also want it integrated with ST
Available now. Bought/installed the wifi-only version. YRV740-WI-693

- Video is accessible via smartphone (via Yale’s site) or micro sd.
- no on-demand recording from smartphone.
- works ok as intended, but really wish it could be integrated w/ ST.
- Has a proprietary rechargeable battery pack, charge via micro usb.
