Discover the range of video doorbells and their features


Video doorbells have become a popular part of the modern smart home. They combine convenience and security by allowing you to see, hear and talk to visitors – no matter where you are. With features such as motion detection, night vision and integration with voice assistants, you can easily keep an eye on who is at the door and quickly respond to visitors or deliveries.
In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider before choosing a video doorbell and which types and features are available on the market.
The article presents a selection of video doorbells from various manufacturers and in different price ranges. The aim is to provide a comprehensive insight into the most important features, technologies and design options so that you can more easily find a model that suits your home and needs. The information is based on publicly available product descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.
Factors to consider when buying a video doorbell
Several factors play a role when choosing a video doorbell – both technical and practical. Here are some of the most important considerations.
1. Power supply and installation
Video doorbells can be battery-powered or connected to the existing doorbell wiring of the house. Battery-powered models are easy to install and flexible in placement, while wired models often require a bit more work but do not need to be recharged.
2. Video quality and field of view
Resolution is crucial for how clearly you can see visitors. Full HD (1080p) is standard, but some models offer 2K or 4K for extra sharpness. A wide field of view – ideally over 150 degrees – ensures that you can capture the entire area in front of the door.
3. Motion detection and notifications
Most video doorbells have motion sensors that send a notification to your smartphone when someone approaches the door. Advanced models can distinguish between people, animals and vehicles, helping to avoid unnecessary alerts.
4. Audio and two-way communication
An important feature is the ability to talk directly to visitors via the app. Make sure the model has clear sound and noise cancellation so that the conversation runs naturally – even in wind or traffic noise.
5. Storage and subscription
Video doorbells store recordings either locally (on an SD card or base unit) or in the cloud. Some manufacturers require a subscription to access stored videos, while others offer free local storage. Consider what best suits your needs and budget.
6. Smart home integration
If you already use smart home devices such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa or Apple HomeKit, you can choose a video doorbell that is compatible with these systems. This enables voice control and the display of live video on smart displays.

Different types of video doorbells
Video doorbells come in many variants that differ in features, power supply and connection options. Here is an overview of the most common types.
1. Battery-powered models
These models are ideal for anyone who wants an easy installation without cables. They can be mounted quickly and moved if necessary. The battery needs to be recharged regularly, but many models have long battery life and fast charging.
2. Wired models
Wired video doorbells are connected to the existing doorbell system of the house, providing a constant power supply. They require a bit more installation effort but do not need to be recharged. This type is suitable for permanent solutions and larger homes.
3. Wireless models with base unit
Some video doorbells come with a base unit that connects to the internet and stores video recordings locally. This can provide more stable operation and better security, as recordings do not necessarily have to be uploaded to the cloud.
4. Models with advanced AI and facial recognition
The most advanced video doorbells can recognise familiar faces and send personalised notifications. This technology makes it possible to distinguish between family, friends and strangers, increasing both convenience and security.
Different brands of video doorbells
The market for video doorbells is shaped by several well-known brands, each with its own strengths and focus areas.

Ring is one of the best-known brands and offers a wide range of video doorbells in different price ranges. The products are known for their user-friendly app, reliable cloud storage and integration with Amazon Alexa.

Frequently asked questions
Does a video doorbell require Wi-Fi?
Yes, most video doorbells require a stable Wi-Fi connection to send live video and notifications to your smartphone. Make sure the signal at the door is strong enough – if necessary, use a Wi-Fi repeater.
Can I use a video doorbell without a subscription?
Yes, many models offer local storage on an SD card or base unit, allowing you to save recordings without additional costs. However, subscriptions often provide access to longer video histories and additional features.
Are video doorbells protected against hacking?
Most manufacturers use encryption and two-factor authentication to protect your data. However, it is important to choose a model from a reputable manufacturer and keep the software up to date to ensure maximum security.
How easy is it to install a video doorbell?
Battery-powered models can usually be installed within minutes using double-sided tape or screws. Wired models require a bit more work, but most manufacturers provide detailed instructions and installation videos.
Can I use a video doorbell in a block of flats?
Yes, but that depends on the building rules and Wi-Fi conditions. Battery-powered and wireless models are often best suited, as they do not require modifications to shared installations.
