Wyze Video Doorbell Pro

The Wyze Video Doorbell Pro offers two power source options: an internal battery or a standard 16-24V AC doorbell power supply. The battery option provides up to six months of battery life, although some users have reported that the actual battery life may be shorter than Wyze's estimate.
