This isn’t a huge deal, but if you want to install it on your door trim where the existing doorbell might be, have fun getting it to fit. The Nest Hello Is the Perfect Sizeīecause of its internal battery, the Ring Doorbell is comically large compared to other video doorbells.

1080p would require a faster Wi-Fi connection, while 480p or even 720p would be ideal for slower connections.Īnd if night vision is on your want list, all three video doorbells come with that capability out of the box. Of course, your Wi-Fi connection will have a lot of say in the video quality you actually use.
You can customize the video quality of the Nest Hello and the SkyBell HD, while the Ring has no such customization and just sets itself to 1080p (or 720p on the first-gen Ring).
While it doesn’t quite get up to the 1080p resolution (instead, it’s 1600×1200), the colors look way better than the other two video doorbells, and the image looks a lot sharper. Out of the three doorbells, the Nest Hello definitely has the best video quality out of the bunch. The Nest Hello Has the Best Video Quality For example, I live on a fairly busy street, so whenever larger vehicles pass by, it triggers my video doorbell and tells me there was motion at my front door. Regardless, all three doorbells are susceptible to false positives, depending on where your house is situated. And on the Nest Hello, you can’t customize motion sensitivity at all. On the SkyBell, you only get Low, Medium, and High options, and there’s no customization when it comes to zones.

RELATED: How to Adjust the Motion Sensitivity on the Ring Doorbell You can set the sensitivity for specific zones and make one side more sensitive than the other, which can come in handy if your driveway is off to the left and you don’t want to get an alert whenever you or someone else pulls into your driveway-just when they’re at your front door. Motion sensitivity can be adjusted on the Ring and SkyBell HD, but the Ring is much more versatile in this area. Ring Has Better Motion Sensitivity Controls So unless you’re paying for that, then the Nest Hello will only detect whether it’s a general person or not, which is still a bit better than the other two video doorbell options. However, this feature does require a Nest Aware subscription, which starts at $10 per month. So not only can it detect people in general, but it can also tell you who exactly is at your door if it recognizes them. While the Ring and SkyBell can sense motion, the Nest Hello takes things a step further by being able to detect whether or not that motion is an actual person.įurthermore, the Hello can even recognize certain faces with a little help on your end. If you do decide not to connect the Ring to your existing doorbell’s wiring, just know that it won’t be able to use your existing doorbell chime, so you’ll have to buy an electronic chime from Ring.

However, the Ring Pro (which is smaller in size) and the Elite model must hook up with wires. Take note, though, that the Ring Video Doorbell 2 can hook up to your existing system it just doesn’t need to. If it’s easy enough to replace your current doorbell with a video doorbell in the same location, then this really isn’t a huge deal, but if you’re like me, a video doorbell unit wouldn’t fit where the existing doorbell is, so re-routing wires is required. RELATED: How to Charge Your Ring Doorbell When the Battery Gets Lowīoth the Nest Hello and SkyBell HD, on the other hand, must be powered by your existing doorbell’s wiring, as they don’t come with an internal battery. This makes the Ring the easiest to install. This means you don’t need to wire it up to an existing doorbell system-simply mount it anywhere you want and off you go.
One of the biggest benefits of the Ring Doorbell (and what separates it from the pack) is that it comes with an internal battery that can power the unit for months.
