Ring Video
Doorbell 4
£175 / amazon.co.uk
K eep an eye on the price for this one: Amazon often takes around £25 off the Ring Video Doorbell during sales events.
But with or without a discount, the Video Doorbell 4 is a very impressive device, delivering 1080p HD video and working on dual-band Wi-Fi – many similar devices only work on the more congested 2.4GHz band, so the Ring is less prone to network congestion. It’s simple to install and use, but there’s a lot of tech inside to deliver clear video and audio over your Wi-Fi network.
COME OUT AND PAY
As with most security cameras there’s a paid-for subscription service, but the key features here are free: real-time notifications of approaching people, live video and two-way audio are standard and don’t require a subscription. However, you will need a Ring Protect subscription if you want to share or save images or videos: at £2.50 per month for the basic plan it’s not expensive compared to rival options.
