Editor's Choice: Ring Video Doorbell 2The Ring Video Doorbell 2 has excellent video quality, supports a wide variety of smart home systems and its user friendly design can be mounted on any surface outside your home. VIEW DEAL ON The Home DepotTop Ten Reviews has reviewed video doorbells since 2015 and spent over 150 hours researching and testing seven popular models from five manufacturers. To determine the best video doorbells, we looked at a variety of factors such as video quality, usability, installation and features both standard and unique. The best video doorbells are user friendly and come with an array of features that make them convenient while improving security around your door. We examined 20 factors that affect what happens when someone rings the doorbell, accepting a call, in call controls and motion detection settings. We found August Doorbell Cam Pro and Ring Video Doorbell Pro easier to use than other smart doorbells. August's call notification was unique, acting more like a traditional phone call than a standard smartphone notification as with the other six doorbells we tested. The Ring Pro shines in a different way with some of the best motion detection options on the market. In general, the other products were all very easy to use, though RemoBell had fewer options for motion detection, smart home compatibility and was the only video doorbell we tested that must be rung to show live video. You can't look in on a live video stream because the unit goes into hibernation when nobody's around. Video and Audio QualityWhen someone calls at your door, the video doorbell is only as good as the video and audio in the call.
