I’ve never seen anything this good before. When you purchase a LiveView you get this device, and when you go out to the range or you’re practicing at home, you simply take the LiveView, put it on the little stand, right on your golf bag, or simply put it on a stick on the side, and you’re able to see yourself live, instantaneously as you’re swinging. Right? Feels and reels are two different things, and this is where LiveView comes into play. You need to see what your swing looks like. You guys hear us say in the videos all the time, you need to be able to see yourself on video. LiveView is the best feedback source, the best training aid in golf. I want to talk to you today about a LiveView. And we can't help loving it a little more for how easily it integrates with the August Smart Lock Pro, as well as a host of other smart home systems.Get Exclusive Pricing for Your Live View Pro While it doesn't have the highest resolution, its Hindsight feature ensures that you'll see people approaching your door.

The August products work together seamlessly, and it's great to be able to control everything from one app.Īmong the smart locks we tested, August's worked with the most smart home systems: Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home/Assistant, Honeywell, Nest, IFTTT, Xfinity, Wink and more.Īugust's locks are compatible with a ton of smart home products, and the doorbell camera pairs perfectly with the lock.Īugust includes a 30-day trial of its Video Recording subscription. (August also sells a $79 Smart Keypad (opens in new tab) that lets you give visitors time-sensitive codes to unlock the Smart Lock Pro, if they can't reach you to unlock it for them remotely.) All of this works really well, and the Smart Lock Pro has other cool features, like the abilities to lock itself after a set time and to unlock itself when you get home - carrying your smartphone with you, of course. If that's important to you, Ring is your best bet.įrom the live view in August's app, you can tap a button for two-way audio and even unlock the compatible August Smart Lock Pro from the same screen.įrom August app's live view, you can tap a button for two-way audio, and even unlock the compatible $229 August Smart Lock Pro (opens in new tab) from the same screen. (This can't be scheduled, however.) Motion alerts can be turned on or off, and adjusted with a sensitivity slider, but you can't specify certain zones in the camera's field of vision to watch for motion. One nice touch is the ability to turn off the indoor chime when you don't want the doorbell to make any sound at all.
The rest of the cameras in our test present videos in landscape mode, which seems more natural.Īugust's live view has a narrower field of view than the other cameras we tested, focusing on the area right in front of the door.Īugust's well-designed app launches quickly, supports multiple devices and users, and looks great. Again, though, August's videos are actually in portrait orientation rather than landscape. However, the video quality is good enough, and certainly better than that of Olive & Dove's720p RemoBell camera.
#LIVEVIEW PRO REVIEW 1080P#
Unlike Ring's doorbell cam, which records at a sharp 1080p resolution, the August Doorbell Cam has a resolution of 1280 x 920. One clever feature is HindSight, which captures a couple of seconds of video before motion is detected so that you're more likely to see people actually in the frame.
This makes them fit your smartphone screen, so you don't need to rotate your device. Because they're shown in portrait orientation, August's videos actually come out looking a little square. That said, the square-shaped Doorbell Cam Pro (2.9 x 2.9 x 0.9 inches) also looks the least like a "normal" doorbell, and a couple of delivery guys actually skipped the whole thing and just pounded on my door instead.Īnother shortcoming of August's camera is that its 120-degree field of view didn't show as much of my porch as the Ring cameras, which boast 160-degree viewing angles - the widest of the doorbell cameras we reviewed.
