For audio quality, we gave pass/fail scores based on how clear and loud a call was on the mobile app as well as the built in speaker on each unit. Although there were small differences in audio quality, we found each unit sufficient for brief conversations with someone at the door. Ease of InstallationMore than anything else, easy installation relies on what comes in the box with the smart doorbell. We gave higher scores to products that come with printed instructions, screwdrivers, masonry drill bits, levels, battery chargers and extra parts where applicable. Ring is the only company that met all of these requirements, setting a high standard for the competition. We found that it takes between 10 and 20 minutes to install most video doorbells, though it can take longer if you're not experienced with electrical work. In most cases, you only need a screwdriver to install a video doorbell, though you may need to drill some holes beforehand. If you're installing it on a doorframe, make sure there's enough space since video doorbells aren’t as slim as normal doorbell buttons. If the prospect of finding your doorbell transformer, turning off the power and manipulating electrical wiring to set up a smart doorbell is too much for you, some retailers offer installation services. Another option is to hire a licensed electrician to do the work. How Much do Video Doorbells Cost?You can expect to spend between $100 and $250 on a video doorbell, with most units costing around $200.

If you know what you need going in, then you won’t pay extra for features and equipment that you won’t use. Most wireless security cameras on the market are for indoor use. At first glance, indoor security cameras may seem all alike, but they vary in key areas, such as when they film, video quality, video storage, and size. Cameras can film continuously, only when triggered by a build in or connected motion detector, when you schedule, or when you remotely access the camera. They may or may not include a built in motion sensor. Cameras vary in the resolution quality of their film, in their field of view, and in key features built in microphone, light, night vision, etc. Security cameras typically offer two options for storing videos, either on a local SD card or on the cloud. Sometimes cameras offer both. For cameras that use the cloud, you may have to purchase a subscription to the cloud storage service, or the cloud may only come with monitoring. In rare cases, companies will offer stand alone cameras like SimpliSafe’s SimpliCam that offer free video streaming that you can access from your phone or computer.
