There’s a reason we’ve chosen Ring as our overall winner! The Ring Video 1080p HD video doorbell has everything you could ask for to protect your home. Your experience will be nothing less than premium with improved motion detection, audio privacy and crisper night vision. Connect to existing doorbell wires for constant power, or opt for the built-in rechargeable battery. With the Ring app, you have complete control and access from anywhere. The app offers a live feed — this way, you’ll be able to fully relax while you’re away, knowing you can check in on your home at any time! With the Control Center in the app, you can add and remove devices and users. Whether you’re at home or on the go, Ring allows you to greet your guests with real-time notifications.

If you’re an Alexa user, we have good news for you! These devices are compatible, so you can set the doorbell up for hands-free monitoring. Your Echo or Fire TV device will alert you when someone is at the door, and you can see and hear everything that’s happening outside.

We’re also fans of the optional Ring Protect Plan (a subscription that’s sold separately), because it allows you to record all your videos, review what you missed for up to 60 days, and share videos and photos.
