£179 / ring.com
The fact that Ring has made four versions of its standard wireless doorbell – plus quite a few other variations besides – tells you it knows what it’s doing when it comes to these devices. And you certainly get plenty of features for a good price with Ring No.4.
Most crucial is the ability to check who’s at the door from wherever you and your smartphone happen to be in the world: that’s the whole point of investing in a smart video doorbell in the first place. This is all handled very capably, with crisp video quality (and night vision) as well as two-way audio so you can speak to your visitors.
