Not all doorbell cameras are created equally. Although price is a huge factor for many people, it’s not always an indicator of how many features a doorbell cam has. Instead, here’s what you should look at when deciding which doorbell camera to buy.
Doorbell cameras are powered with a battery, hard wiring, or occasionally there’s an option of both, like with Wyze’s video doorbell. A wireless doorbell camera is powered with an internal battery, which is great if you’re renting your home or you don’t want to mess with your home’s wiring, but you will have to change out or charge the battery regularly. If you opt for a wired option, you won’t have to worry about swapping out the battery, but you will have to take on the daunting task of reconfiguring your home’s existing doorbell wiring.
Once that major decision is out of the way, there are a few smaller choices you’ll need to make. Doorbell cams offer local storage, cloud storage, or both. Local storage is more private than cloud storage, but it’s also easier to physically steal and run away with. Cloud storage is convenient because it’s online and accessible at any time, but you often have to pay a subscription fee for access.
Some doorbell camera brands also hide other features behind a subscription paywall, so also pay attention to whether the camera you’re looking at can be used without a subscription, or what the various subscription options are, if any. Typically, subscriptions for doorbell cameras offer extra storage time for cloud files, more specific movement detection, and more alerts.
