One of the best video doorbells around, the Ring Video Doorbell is a delight to use. It offers 1080p HD video along with two-way talk, so you can easily check up on your home from anywhere, and you can even chat with anyone you see on your property right though the camera. It’s possible to adjust the motion zone settings so the doorbell only focuses on the areas you need to protect. You’ll then get real-time mobile notifications any time someone comes over. It also has infrared night vision so it works in low light situations, and you can use Quick Replies to chat with a delivery person. It also works with Alexa, so you can hear audio announcements when anyone presses the doorbell or triggers the sensors.

It’s possible to adjust privacy zones as well as audio privacy as needed, and you can always receive notifications via Alexa any time you need to hear something.
