Best video doorbell rated 2021: Top smart doorbells to buy
Video doorbells are essential to any smart home. They not only make sure you can see who is at your door and allow you to speak to delivery drivers if you aren’t home, but they also keep an eye on what’s happening at the front of your house, making for great security devices, too.
There are a number of options available, all of which have some great features, but it’s worth considering that each company has different subscription options, as well. You’ll need to factor this into the overall cost if you want to see what your video doorbell records during its time on your door.
The main thing you’ll need to decide when buying a video doorbell, though, is whether you want a wired option or a battery-operated option. If you go for wired – like the Nest Hello – then you’ll need to get an electrician to install it if you don’t have an existing wired doorbell. The battery-operated options – like the Ring 3 Plus – can just be mounted to your door, but you’ll need to charge the battery or buy a replacement battery to switch over.
We have a separate feature comparing the options from Nest, Ring, Arlo and Netatmo in detail, but here are our choices for the best video doorbells, all reviewed and rated by us.
