FAQ

Do I need a subscription to use a smart video doorbell?
Some brands (like Ring, Nest, Arlo) require a subscription for cloud recording and advanced features. Others (Eufy, Aqara, Blink, Wyze) allow local recording and core features without monthly fees.
Are video doorbells easy to install?
Yes! Most models include everything for DIY install, whether battery-powered or wired to your existing doorbell. All picks include step-by-step guides.
Do they work with Alexa or Google Home?
Most modern video doorbells support Alexa and/or Google Home for alerts, video display, and voice control. Apple HomeKit support is rarer but available on some Eufy and Aqara models.
How long does the battery last?
Battery life varies by model and usage, but most top doorbells last 2–6 months per charge. Wired models never need charging.
Is local video storage safe?
Local storage is private and secure, but if the doorbell is stolen, the video may be lost. Some models offer both local and encrypted cloud backup for extra peace of mind.
