Smart video doorbell reviews

Last updated: 25 November 2025
Fact-checked

Checked for accuracy by our qualified fact-checkers and verifiers. Find out more about fact-checking at CHOICE

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.
