Why we rate it
First off, it's wireless, which means there's no fiddling about with unnecessary wiring and connections during set-up.
It gives you instant notifications when anyone presses your doorbell or when motion is detected, and even lets you pair it with other devices (that are Alexa-enabled) for further hands-free notifications.
Using HD video, it offers a crisp playback which lets you see, hear, and speak to anyone from your phone or tablet — a handy feature for when you're not home.
Plus, it comes complete with night vision and adjustable motion zones which allow you to focus on specific areas, as well as the ability to save and store videos for future viewing.
As the latest model to hit the market, there's a bunch of new features, too, including Head-To-Toe View, which lets you see even more, Person and Package Alerts, for notifications whenever a visitor or parcel arrives and Colour Night Vision, for a clear view of what's happening after dark.
If that wasn't enough, it runs on a rechargeable battery (which is now longer lasting than previous models), comes with a mount for easy installation and handy removal tool for when you need to charge the device.
And to top things off, it's the sleekest looking video doorbell we've come across.
As far as value for money is concerned, this doorbell has everything you could want, and is even more of a bargain now that it's currently on sale for £59.99.
We would recommend you shop fast, though, as we suspect this model to sell out *very* quickly...
What the reviews say
Brand new to Amazon, while there aren't many reviews, shoppers who have purchased the latest design are beyond happy, describing the new and improved doorbell as an "upgrade", stating the "battery life is great", and the audio is "crisp".
We anticipate many more five-star reviews to soon come reeling in, especially if the previous model is anything to go by — the Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) has over 39,000 reviews and bears an impressive 4.5 out of five star rating. Shoppers have described it as a "fantastic product", with one even claiming it's the best doorbell camera "by a landslide".
Buyers have said that it's added the perfect layer of added security to their homes, and that they can't quite believe "the quality and capability" of this little doorbell.
Many say it's a "must-have" for anyone looking to upgrade their home security system.
