180 was nice and mine was angled down to capture packages at the foot of my door. But it was too tall IMO, I did not need 180. You get alot of the ceiling of a porch with 180...guessing why 130 now...

Respectfully disagree. It all depends how far away someone would be standing. If the doorbell is right next to the door, a person could easily take up the majority of the frame top to bottom. I could do away with 10-20 degrees from the top, but definitely not 45. Additionally, doorbells angled down look stupid. Left or right is one thing, but angling the entire thing downward is a non-starter for me not only for athletics but also function (pressing the button is slightly more awkward). If they're going to reduce fov, they should be angling the camera downward within the doorbell so the doorbell can be mounted straight, like it should be. It's all just wrong. A video doorbell is to see people and packages right in front of your door. Nothing else. The floor area directly in front of the door is most important for packages. If someone wants to see more than that, like the road or their driveway, they should get another camera. This change fails to make sense to me. It must be cheaper. That's all I can think of.
Does anyone know what the "diagonal" fov is for this doorbell? Sometimes I only see a diagonal fov value while looking at other doorbells, and I can't find a diagonal fov value for this doorbell.
