I got both this doorbell and the Ring Peephole Camera. The HD Doorbell was superior to the ring in almost every way. Better aspect ratio, better picture quality, no subscription required, free chime, better at detecting motion, no connection issues (live view always came up instantly whereas the Ring almost always had delays or connection issues). However, I ended up returning the HD Doorbell for one reason (which admittedly is overly nitpicky) - the battery is internal, so when it runs out of juice, you need to charge it for several hours and you are essentially without a doorbell. Another small gripe I had was there is no way (other than activating the alarm which emits an annoying noise) to have audible motion alerts through the chime.

Pro - easy install, maybe 30 minutes Cost, easily beats Ring Notifications are quick and I see the person coming up the walk Awesome picture/recording very bright even at night No cost recordings - they are stored on a micro SD card in the chime Connected to internet quicklyCon - so far noneI had Ring previously and the recording was always the person walking away. HD Doorbell shows the person walking up to the door and it is bright and clearWas not real happy at first with battery life but I removed a flag and the battery is now lasting for a much longer time. Also helps to set the area to monitor - I just do my driveway and walk

This video doorbell was one of the best purchases I’ve made in 2020!The picture is very clear. Night vision is just as clear as day vision (it is black and white though).It’s also very adaptable to the owners needs. I have set parameters to prevent cars driving on the street from setting it off. I have also adjusted the volume of the inside doorbell, and made my HD Doorbell perfect for my needs.The best part is, you don’t need a monthly subscription to view recordings. The HD Doorbell has a micro as card slot to record all motion detected.The battery is rechargeable, it take a little while to recharge but lasts about two weeks on one charge. (Depending on use. It lasts that long for me.)If you’re on the fence about which video doorbell to get, this one is the one! It is perfect!
