Which Video Doorbell Is Right For You?

Home Automation is everywhere in our modern day lives. Our homes connect to our devices and to our everyday activities. New technologies have recently made everything incredibly simple and easy to control from an app or a wall panel. There’s quite the competition when it comes to Home Automation technology that integrates directly into your phone. Video doorbells have become the newest craze, allowing you to see who’s ringing your doorbell without you needing to come to the door. They are also the perfect solution for when you’re away from home and need to know who’s on your property.

One of the most important things to consider when you’re planning to install a video doorbell is what setup your home will allow. They come in two main forms, wired and wireless. The wireless models work via battery power, which has an obvious benefit of not requiring electrical wiring experience upon install. However, there’s also a major downside to these versions, as the batteries can sometimes deplete and cause a bigger hassle than putting up with the one time hassle of dealing with the initial wiring. Wired options sometimes however aren’t viable in some setups, so make sure you know which type of doorbell you’d like to install.

We have one last option to throw into the mix. The SkyBell HD is a wonderful third option, that while not as popular as the other two brands, has a lot more features to offer. It features a very small circular design as opposed to the rectangular designs boasted by the other two. It also gives a 180 degree viewing angle, which is far wider than the competition. There’s no subscription fee for the device’s recordings, which are saved for seven days on the cloud. This is a huge plus compared to the other two. There’s an app that connects to the device, however there’s no web based option for viewing content. It’s incredibly easy to install the wired version, connecting directly to the existing doorbell wiring in your home. While it works independently of all your home’s other systems, most video doorbells act the same way, other than the Nest system which works with Savant.
