When choosing a smart video doorbell you need to consider a range of factors such as wireless network support, existing hardware, battery, video quality, camera, functions and price – and that’s before you even get started navigating the complexities of privacy and security. 

To help, we test a range of smart doorbells from popular brands such as Ring, Google and Eufy, to find the best performers for your home.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings that the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.

Our interactive comparison table shows the viewing angle for each smart doorbell as well as the video resolution.  We also show you the storage capacity, Wi-Fi support and durability to water and dust, plus their performance for video quality, sound and security.

Hi, I'm Denis Gallagher. You might know me from such things as gadgets, phones (landline and mobile), cameras and home entertainment gear. While I've produced tests for ceiling fans, gas heaters, vacuum cleaners and BBQs, these days the digital home is where the heart is. Before CHOICE, I learned how to break technically complex subjects down to understandable and entertaining chunks. I hate seeing companies take advantage of consumers and at CHOICE I get to fight back on your behalf. Life before CHOICE included being assistant editor for Your Computer magazine in the mid 1990s and later editor of a design magazine called PIXELmag. I also contributed photography and tech articles to SMH, PC World, PC Authority, and Green Guide. After indulging my passion for golf as assistant editor at Golf Australia for a couple of years, I thought it might be time to get a real job. Arriving at CHOICE just before Christmas 2006, everyone was on annual leave so I basically sat alone at my desk till mid-January 2007. I've been pretty busy since then, though! You can find me on LinkedIn.
