These Eight Popular Smart Doorbells Are on Sale for Black Friday
Before purchasing smart cameras or other smart technology, most people start with a smart doorbell. The good news is that they’re better than ever, with exceptional coverage of the area in front of your door, night vision, high-quality video and artificial intelligence features. Smart doorbells make it easy to give people access (or deny access) to your home. Need to let your neighbor in to feed the dog? You can set this up from your phone and then revoke it when you no longer need their help. Plus, you can see who’s at your door (and decide whether you actually want to answer), know when packages have been delivered, and interact with those at the door when you’re not home using two-way video. .
During Amazon’s Prime Day in October, these smart doorbells are up to 60% off. (I haven’t tested all of these models.)
