The Best Video Doorbell

If you’re hunting for a video doorbell, you’ve probably realized it’s a bit of a jungle out there. Sure, you could go with a big name like the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+, or the Eufy Video Doorbell S330, but they often trap you in a cycle of endless monthly subscription fees or hit you with a hefty upfront price. 

At Wyze, we firmly believe you shouldn't have to take out a second mortgage just to see who is stealing your Amazon packages. That’s why we pack premium features into devices that actually fit a normal family budget. 

Here’s a quick look at how our affordable champions stack up against the competition: 

Video Quality & Porch Protection 

When it comes to safeguarding your doorstep, Wyze emerges as the clear winner by delivering elite, multi-angle visibility without the luxury price tag. While Ring and Blink leave you completely blind to what is happening directly on your doormat, Wyze Duo Cam Doorbell with TWO cameras and full porch coverage is the punch that'll send porch pirates packing! Its revolutionary dual-lens design pairs a sharp 2K face-level camera with a dedicated downward-facing lens. One camera sees people to clearly capture every visitor. Another camera looks directly down at your doorstep. 

Even when compared to Eufy's dual-camera option, Wyze takes the crown. The Wyze Duo Cam delivers that identical, premium dual-angle protection for a fraction of Eufy’s $259.99 upfront cost. Plus, if you prefer a streamlined single-camera setup, our budget-friendly Wyze Battery Video Doorbell beats out standard competitors with an ultra-wide head-to-toe aspect ratio. With a 150° horizontal and 150° vertical field of view, Wyze Doorbell captures everything from a visitor’s smile to a package tucked against your door. Even if someone stands close to the camera, you’ll still see the full picture — from head to toe, porch to street. 

Local Storage vs. Subscription Traps 

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: paying to see your own video clips. Ring practically requires a monthly subscription if you want to save and share footage, while Blink forces you to buy a separate Sync Module hub just to unlock local storage. The Eufy S330 is decent since it avoids the monthly fees, but you are still stuck paying a huge premium to buy their mandatory HomeBase 3 hub, and you're limited to its 16GB of built-in storage. 

Wyze takes a refreshingly honest approach. Wyze Video Doorbell v2 gives you 2K video and local microSD storage, so you can capture every moment in more detail than ever. The first-of-its-kind onboard microSD card slot allows for continuous local recording. That means your data stays yours, and you get continuous recording on wired models without paying a dime extra every month. 

If you do want to supercharge your cameras with advanced AI features like facial recognition and specific package detection, our optional Cam Plus plans are actually affordable. Here is how the hidden fees across the industry compare: 

The Ultimate Value 

At the end of the day, Wyze gives you the same incredible tech as the gated-mansion folks, but leaves you with enough cash to actually buy the fun stuff getting delivered to your house. You can get our flagship, hardwired 2K powerhouse for a fraction of the price of Ring’s battery model. Whether you rent an apartment and need a completely wire-free setup, or you want the absolute best package protection on the market (and yes, you can also wire it if you really want to), Wyze delivers premium performance without the premium price tag. 

Frequently Asked Questions (The TL;DR)

Do I really need another monthly subscription with Wyze? Nope. We’re not about that life. The first-of-its-kind onboard microSD card slot allows for continuous local recording. That means you can add massive amounts of expandable storage for pennies, without being held hostage by mandatory monthly cloud fees. If you want to upgrade your camera with AI features like facial recognition, our Cam Plus plans are there for pocket change—but we will never force it on you.

What if I rent or don't have existing doorbell wires? We’ve got you covered. Both the Wyze Battery Video Doorbell and the Wyze Duo Cam Doorbell can be installed completely wire-free. They are ideal for renters or homeowners who want simple, secure installation without hassle. Mount it in two shakes of a dog's tail with the included adhesive strips. No wires or screws. Take it right off the wall and bring it with you when your lease is up.

Why do I need TWO cameras on the Duo Cam Doorbell? Because some is good, but more is better. Wyze Duo Cam Doorbell with TWO cameras and full porch coverage is the punch that'll send porch pirates packing!. One camera sees people to clearly capture every visitor. Another camera looks directly down at your doorstep. See everything from your door to doormat to doggo.

Will these survive a winter storm? Absolutely. IP65 weather resistance means it can stand up to the harshest weather. Come rain, snow, or whatever weather anomaly your state is currently inventing, it's rated to withstand all the elements. Even the element of surprise.

Can I still use my house's regular doorbell chime? Yes you can. If you hardwire the Wyze Video Doorbell v2, no more bypassing the existing chime when you upgrade to a smart doorbell. A chime controller is included so you can keep ding-donging the old fashioned way. Going with a battery model? Pair it with a Wyze Universal Wi-Fi Chime to hear alerts anywhere in your home. Pick from 20 chime sounds and 8 volume levels to match your style (or have a little fun and set it to a dog bark to surprise uninvited guests).
