Which camera(s) can I add to my AVD2001 wireless essential doorbell. I've got two video doorbells covering two external doors but I want to add an external camera to monitor the rear garden. I assume this would be cheaper than a third video doorbell.

The cheapest option would be the Essential Gen 2. But that is not available in all countries - where are you located?

Also, before purchase I suggest measuring your wifi speed at the camera location. You can use the Ookla speedtest app on your phone (disabling mobile data during the test). Ideally you'd have 3 mbps upload speed at the camera location.

Ok. Go into "add devices" and pick the essential cameras. If you see a section for Gen 2, then you can add a Gen 2 camera to your account.
