• Subscription 4.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.8

• Chime 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.5
  The system offers flexible indoor alerts via the included plug-in or hub-style chime, support for mechanical and digital chimes, and Alexa speakers, with reviewers praising the multiple selectable ringtones, adjustable volume, loud volume that carries through larger homes, and the ability to add extra chimes or Echo devices around the home.

• Field of view & framing 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.5
• Privacy 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Reviewers see the doorbell’s local, hub-based video storage as a privacy advantage over cloud-reliant rivals like Ring, since core features work without sending footage to third-party servers or signing up for a monthly subscription plan.
• Security policy history 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Reviewers describe the unit as compact and unobtrusive, about the size of a TV remote, yet still visible enough at the doorway and solid-feeling in the hand.
• Weather & temperature tolerance 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
• Storage 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
  Footage is stored locally on the HomeBase or built-in memory, typically around 16 GB, so recording continues even if the internet goes down and owners like avoiding mandatory cloud fees; they do need to clear older clips periodically and there is no SD-card backup for power outages, but keeping video on the hub also means recordings are safe even if someone steals the doorbell itself.
• Complete kit in box 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
  Buyers appreciate that the package includes the doorbell, HomeBase hub, mounting bracket, wedges, a release tool, chime functionality, a charging cable, and even a warning sticker, so most have everything needed to replace an old doorbell without extra accessories beyond basic tools.
• Low-light & Night vision 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
• Motion-detection customization 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Users can fine-tune motion behavior with sensitivity controls, custom activity zones, adjustable clip lengths, and timing between triggers so the doorbell watches only chosen areas and balances nuisance alerts against battery life.
• Audio 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
  Two-way audio is generally praised as loud and clear, making it easy to talk with visitors at the door without opening it, though some owners notice a small delay that can cause people to talk over one another if they do not take turns.
• Object & person detection 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.3
• Design aesthetics 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Reviewers describe the doorbell as solid and well finished, with a premium-feeling housing and optional wedge or flat mounting plates that help it look neat and purposeful by the front door.
• Light adjustability 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Wide dynamic range and HDR generally keep faces bright and recognizable in shaded or backlit doorways, but bright backgrounds can still appear somewhat blown out in tougher lighting, and its exposure balancing is often viewed as a bit less refined than Nest’s even though it works well for most porches.
• Reliability (general) 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2
  In everyday use the hardware is described as dependable, with alerts and live view working consistently, though a few users have run into software quirks such as the app logging out, brief interruptions in notifications, and occasional playback glitches or dropped frames when reviewing clips.
• Battery & Charging 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.1
  Battery-powered setups typically see anywhere from about six to eight weeks in very busy doorways up to about three to six months in lower-traffic homes per charge, and while owners find periodic recharging, which takes a few hours, a mild inconvenience, they note it only takes a few hours and that hardwiring the doorbell to existing power eliminates battery concerns entirely.
• Notifications 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.1
  Most reviewers see notifications as fast and dependable, with doorbell-press alerts arriving quickly and live view typically opening in just a few seconds, though some note that motion-based alerts can take closer to eight to ten seconds to appear and occasional app logouts or brief delays before two-way talk connects can temporarily interrupt responsiveness.
• App, software & firmware 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.0
• AI features 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Built-in AI on the doorbell analyzes body shape and facial patterns to focus alerts on people at the door, and reviewers say it can even generate thumbnail images of visitors’ faces and helps filter out obvious non-human motion like insects or pets, though it is not flawless and can still misclassify some motion in tricky scenarios.
• Quick-reply / pre-recorded message usefulness 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  The doorbell’s quick-reply feature lets owners trigger preset or custom pre-recorded messages from the app, which many find handy for acknowledging deliveries or visitors when they cannot speak live.
• Ongoing ownership costs 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
• Theft & Tamper 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.8
• Motion detection performance 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.7
  Owners generally find the motion sensor reliable at spotting people approaching the door, with many noting that it begins recording quickly enough to capture visitors as they come into view, though clips and alerts can still trail real-time activity by several seconds in some cases and very long visits may require multiple motion-triggered clips because each recording has a fixed time limit.
• Smart-home integration (Alexa, Google, Siri, HomeKit, Matter, Thread) 3.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.6
  The doorbell works well with Amazon Alexa, including using Echo speakers as extra chimes, and integrates with major platforms like Google Home and, on supported models, Apple HomeKit, but owners note limitations such as slow video loading on smart displays, inconsistent HomeKit support, and a lack of integration with Samsung SmartThings.
