BOIFUN J1X review
A 5 MP doorbell on a 166° lens with a chime in the box and a voice changer on the two-way audio. BOIFUN states human detection and Alexa compatibility through its own skill.
The conclusion The most complete box in this hub — chime included, 5 MP, very wide. Buy it knowing the brand has no long record.
The most useful thing in this box is not the sensor. It is the chime.
A doorbell that only rings a phone is not a doorbell
If the phone is charging upstairs, or in a coat in the hall, nobody knows
anybody called. Several doorbells in this hub sell the chime separately, and
it typically costs a third of the price of the bell. Here it is included, and
it plugs into any socket in the house.
The lens
166° and 5 MP. That is one of the widest views in the hub, and it shows a caller head
to foot together with whatever they left on the step. The trade is softness at
the edges and some curvature — a wide lens always spends something for the
width.
The brand question, honestly
BOIFUN has little published firmware history, and Alexa support comes through
its own skill rather than through a native integration. Both are risks a
doorbell owner carries for years, and neither is visible in a specification
comparison. What can be said is that the hardware in the box is more complete
than anything else at this price.
Who it suits
A household that wants the doorbell to ring in the house as well as on a
phone, and is comfortable with a smaller name.
Availability
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Human detection rather than any-motion alerts
Compromises
Small brand with little firmware history
Alexa integration depends on a third-party skill that may or may not persist
No published battery runtime assumption
A very wide lens softens the edges of the frame

The questions we are asked
Why does an included chime matter?
Because a doorbell that only rings a phone is not a doorbell. If the phone is upstairs on charge, nobody in the house knows anybody called. A plug-in chime restores the thing a doorbell is for, and buying one separately usually costs a third of the price of the bell.
Is a voice changer a gimmick?
Not entirely. Answering a caller from a train, or at night, is a situation where some people prefer not to be recognisable. It is a small feature, it costs nothing, and the people who want it want it specifically.
Is 166° too wide?
It is at the wide end, and it shows the whole doorstep. The cost is softness at the edges of the frame and some barrel distortion. For seeing a parcel and a caller together it is the right trade; for identifying somebody at the gate beyond it, it is not.
Our score

2K 4MP · 150°×150°×180° 1:1 view · HDR · local person, vehicle, pet and parcel detection · dual-band
The second-generation battery doorbell: the same square head-to-toe frame with HDR added, and detection that Reolink states runs locally on the device rather than in a cloud service.
Best for: A bright doorway where a caller is backlit, and an owner who wants nothing leaving the house.
2K 4MP · 1:1 head-to-toe aspect · dual-band Wi-Fi · card to 256 GB · two charging methods
Reolink uses a square 1:1 sensor rather than a widescreen one, so the frame is as tall as it is wide and shows a caller head to toe with the step included. Local storage to 256 GB, with no subscription required.
Best for: A doorstep where the parcel matters as much as the caller.
Ring's current battery doorbell at 2K, with a stated six-times zoom for reading detail at distance and a built-in battery charged over USB-C once the doorbell is released with the supplied tool. Recording requires a Ring Home plan.
Best for: A household already on Ring, where the doorbell should share the alarm and cameras' app.
