1.Wired Power Source
Will you have an electricity hookup running to your doorbell? If not, we'll hide the doorbells that require this.
2.Works With Existing Door Chime
Some doorbell cameras can be hooked up to work with your existing (mechanical) door chime.
Wiring work required.
Use a chime device or smart speaker.
3.Needs Recharging
Some doorbells - even if you wire them up to a 'trickle' charge - require you to swap out the battery or take the doorbell down and recharge it every now-and-then.
Wiring work required.
Avoid the wiring work.
4.Video Storage
Most doorbell cameras charge a monthly subscription fee for storing recordings in the cloud. Some offer local storage without a subscription.
Stored on device or memory stick.
You can always pay the subscription or just have live video only.
5.Platform Compatibility
