XTU J7 Smart Doorbell Review: Is It Worth It?

Can a budget doorbell really double as a security camera?
In this full hands-on review, Tim installs and tests the XTU J7 Smart home Doorbell, a wireless video doorbell with HD video, night vision, and cloud/SD card storage. It’s compact, affordable, easy to set up—but is it actually secure?

We walk through unboxing, setup, waterproof testing (yes, with a hose), app configuration, and real-world usability. We also highlight hidden costs, flaws in the design, and whether it’s suitable for rural properties and farmhouses.

💬 Includes:
✔️ Setup and install
✔️ App walkthrough
✔️ Security camera functions
✔️ Cloud vs SD card storage issues
✔️ How to make it teenager-proof 😅
