You Saw Their StoryIn AD, Trouw,Het ParoolAnd De Volkskrant.Here Are 7 Things There Was No Room for on the Page.

Before Finex, Luc and Teun delivered packages. Every day, they rang hundreds of doorbells, and every day, they saw the same things go wrong. Doorbells that responded too late. Batteries that were already dead. Connections that dropped out. People who only got a notification when the delivery driver was already walking back to the van.

They started Finex in 2022. A year later, their first video doorbell, the V1, went on sale. The V3 is the result of everything they’ve learned since then.

The second thing that bothered them was the subscription.

The V3 costs €109,95 at the introductory price (regular price €159,95). That's the full price. All features work from day one, and none disappear later, because there's nothing to cancel.

Here's what the same front door setup costs after three years with the two biggest brands:

Most video doorbells give you a wide, landscape view. You see the street. You see a face. What you don’t see is your doormat, exactly where the delivery driver just left your parcel.

Luc and Teun know that spot better than anyone. They spent years leaving parcels there.

The V3 has a 4K Ultra HD lens and a vertical fullscreen view with a 160° viewing angle. You see whoever is at your door from head to toe, and the parcel on the ground in front of them. At night, it automatically switches to infrared.

Remember doorbells that were slow to respond? The V3 runs on Finex's new F3 chip, making it up to 2× faster to respond. When someone's at your door, your phone lets you know while they're still there.

Speed is only half the story. A doorbell that goes off every time a car passes will have you muting it within a week. The V3's AI detection recognises people and packages, and you can draw your own detection zones around your door in the app. The garden path, yes. The street, no. When your phone alerts you, it's worth a look.

Not every front door has doorbell wiring, and not everyone wants to call an electrician. The V3 runs on a 5,200 mAh battery that lasts around 3 to 5 months on a single charge, depending on how busy your doorstep is. Already have a doorbell transformer (8 to 24V AC)? Connect the V3 to it and you’ll never need to recharge it.

It works on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, so it stays connected where older doorbells lose their connection. The app guides you through setup in about 5 minutes, with no special tools needed. And it’s IP66-certified, so it’s built for Dutch weather, all year round.

Finex didn't get to the V3 in one go. The V1 recorded in 1080p. The V2 moved to 2K and added the choice between battery and wired power. The V3 moves to 4K.

Each step came from the people who used the previous version.

A sharper image: 4K. See your packages: a vertical view. The V3 gives you both.

What started as an idea from two young entrepreneurs is now a Dutch security brand chosen by more than 100,000 people. The range has grown to include security cameras, solar cameras and smart door locks. The logo changed this year. Video quality went from 1080p to 4K.

One thing hasn't changed. Your recordings are stored on an SD card in your own doorbell, with up to 6 months of footage to look back on. You can connect up to 10 phones, so everyone in your household gets notified. And it works with Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings.
