It cost 1,999 CZK, now you can buy it for 489 CZK. A video doorbell with a 2K camera doesn't need cloud or wires

Few products have dropped in price as deeply as this doorbell. You can now buy the RETLUX RSH 501 on Alza for 489 CZK – it cost 1,999 CZK at launch and was still selling for 999 CZK recently. For less than five hundred crowns, you get a video doorbell with a 2K camera (3,440 × 1,440 px), night vision, a motion sensor, and an application in Czech.

👍 Take it, if you finally want to see from your mobile who is at the door, and you don’t want to pay more than a few hundred for it.
🤔 Hesitate, if you expect image quality and an app like Ring’s – here, the quality matches the price, and Apple Home is missing.
💰 Price tag: 489 CZK is a quarter of the launch price. You simply won’t buy a 2K video doorbell cheaper.

No monthly fees and no drilling into the wall

Two things make the RSH 501 appealing. Firstly, a SD card slot – recordings stay at your home, and you don’t pay for any cloud service, which is often an extra monthly charge for branded doorbells. Secondly, battery power (included in the package), so you can screw it in even where no doorbell wire runs; those who have a wire can connect it permanently via USB. It pairs with Tuya, Alexa, and Google Assistant, rings with 56 melodies, and one verified buyer briefly summarized the installation: “simple connection, great price-performance ratio”.

Not for two thousand, but yes for five hundred

Now for the less pleasant part: the rating on Alza is currently 3.6 out of 5, though only from three customers. The most critical review starts with the words “price matches quality :D” and faults the doorbell for the connection to the phone “being quite buggy”, the camera not being among the sharpest, and the app being average. This is precisely why it only makes sense now: for the original two thousand, we would have skipped it; for 489 CZK, it’s the cheapest entry ticket into the world of video doorbells. Whoever wants a simple overview of their apartment door, cottage, or workshop will get it for the price of two pizzas – and if it doesn’t suit, Alza will take it back within 14 days.

Do you prefer to save camera recordings locally to a card, or do you not mind paying for cloud storage?
