Features & Specs
We've standardized the way every brand thinks about their smart device features to make them easy to compare.
Wireless Installation Possible: No
This doorbell must be hardwired to your home's electrical system.
Requires Drilling: Yes
Wired doorbells require drilling as part of their installation.
Video Recording Storage: Cloud Storage
Ring doorbells store video recordings on the cloud, which requires a subscription. They can technically also store recordings locally, but it still requires a subscription (the highest Ring Protect tier), which removes one of the main benefits of using local storage. This option also requires a Ring Alarm Pro base station. You can't do both local and cloud storage, so if you choose local, your recordings are not backed up on the cloud.
