About this deal

Like the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K (Wireless), which appears further down in this list, the Video Doorbell Dual is battery-powered, making it suitable for renters or DIY novices. Even better, it ships with a base station that offers 16GB of local storage for videos recorded by the doorbell, so no subscription is required to get the most out of it. Press and hold the Chime match button for 2 seconds, the indicator light will illuminate to indicate pairing mode. First, try resetting your doorbell to see if this helps the video features come online. If that doesn’t work, most other video issues are caused by internet connection problems or not enough bandwidth. Try clearing some devices off your Wi-Fi and see if that helps fix the problem. Video doorbells' best feature is that they can answer the door when you are not in. By this we don't mean they physically open the door; they enable you to tell delivery drivers where to put parcels, for example.

Audio: A good doorbell camera should have a built-in microphone so you can hear chirps and chatter. Most also feature a speaker for two-way communication, allowing you to talk to whoever shows up at your door. On test, we found the video highly detailed thanks to the 2K resolution, and a 4:3 aspect ratio means you can see the person's full length on your doorstep. It was extremely simple to install, and we found colors in the footage were more subdued than rival doorbells, and the video could lose detail in very bright situations – but it excelled in darker settings. There's also no Homekit support, but it does integrate with Alexa and Google Assistant.If this is happening to you, first make sure you’re on a 2.4 GHz network, as many doorbells will only work on the 2.4 GHz band. If that doesn’t work, try resetting your router — we have a guide here that can help if you’re not sure how to do it. Make sure that your video doorbell app is updated if necessary. Reboot everything and see if things can connect again. Enter the QR code sharing interface, save the displayed QR code, the QR code will expire after 24 hours. Video limitations: Although most doorbell cameras support a 1080p or even 2K resolution, we’ve found the images are never as sharp as what you’d get with a typical smartphone camera—especially for subjects at a distance of a dozen feet or more. Also, streaming high-resolution video chews up internet bandwidth, so be sure your home network can support it. Setting up the Ring Video Doorbell 3 for testing (Image credit: Future) Why do I need a video doorbell? Wired doorbells draw power from two wires that connect to a transformer that steps down your household power to between 16 and 24 volts. If your home doesn't have doorbell wiring, you can still wire it yourself using a plug-in transformer or hire an electrician to perform the setup. Either way, the process requires some drilling to run wires from the inside of your home to an exterior location.

If you don’t ring the doorbell within ten seconds, the chime indicator will automatically turn off. Where it betters, its rival is with colorized night vision. The camera takes ambient light areas within its field of view and applies a simulated color to them – tinting the sky blue, for example. Of course, it doesn't create a full-color picture, but in our time with the product, we certainly found that it made night-time footage easier to decipher. Video doorbells come in all shapes and sizes. The least expensive models tend to be bulky and available in only a few color choices, while many of the more expensive models are inconspicuous and available in a variety of finishes. Battery-powered models are typically larger than their wired counterparts.
