hello and welcome to the home automation
channel now today i'm going to be
reviewing the top three video doorbell
now this one here is the ring Pro we
have the skybell and we have the dbell HD
live now i'm going to be reviewing some
of the basic features as well as some of
the more advanced features and I'm gonna
be doing this right in front of you you
can see exactly how it works now how's
this working you wonder i have these
three mounted on a display board and
behind it is a 16 voltage amp
transformer that is helping them come to
life and be able to show you the
side-by-side comparison
alright this is the transformer and
you'll notice that the dbell HD Live comes
with an AC adapter so for our first
test what we're going to do is we're
going to make sure that the actual bell
ring
alright so the first one here is our
Ring Pro I hold it down myself to myself
okay and I just happen to have my ipod
here i click on it because I got a
notification and here we are
it takes you right to the screen where
it's going to show you who is at your
door so that one right this is our first
one now for our next one is a Skybell so
again and here we are
I happen to have it pop right up here so
as you can see the picture is already
showing and we're seeing who is there
now for our next one it is the dbell HD live and I
press that button and it automatically
opens up and you have to swip to accept it
and there we are now first I'm going
to mention what they all have in common
so while quickly lift them off for you
now brings up there always need to
install i'm going to give them that you
are also able to utilize all of these
with your Android and your iphone and
they also have 2 way audio so you can
talk to whoever is at the door which is
a nice fun fact they have motion
detected alert with that man
earlier and that alerts your phone or
your tablet I you could also have
multiple users now what that actually
means is that if you have a large family
then they can all answer the doorbell
with their phone but that's right they
don't even have to get off the couch all
of the doorbells have HD camera and you
can see live video from your phone or
your tablet whatever is paired to it now
they also all have night-vision using
infrared LED technology and they all
email a timestamp picture when someone
rings that bell right now we're going to
compare the differences so these 3
have different viewing angle now the
first one here is the ring pro it is a
160 degrees we also have heard dbell
here which is 160 degrees this Skybell right
in the middle of the sky Bell is a
hundred and eighty degrees so in this
discrepancy the sky bell wins now we're
on for next difference and that is to
look at the motion sensor and email
functionality of each of these devices
now what happens is your to get an email
with a picture and emotion what triggers
emotion so you can find out more
information about who's at your door
let's check out the first one shall we
the dbell HD live so as you can see i'm
actually getting motion sensor report
right now and I will be checking my
email to see if I got that for our next
one we're going to use this is our skybell
so I'm trigger a motion sensor and again
i'm being alerted that i am getting
motion but again i will need to check my
email to see if I got that for a third
one we are moving onto the Ring Pro
and again i have triggered the motion
we're getting a notification that way i
will be checking my email to see if I
got that a few because we're going to be
logging in shortly
the next we're going to look at cloud
video recording now all of these have
that option that you are going to get
the footage sent directly to your I
cloud however in two out of the three
cases this is a free
service but for the ring pro they have
actually charged and use this as a
monthly fee and i personally don't feel
that you should ever have to pay monthly
for something that should be
complementary my next comparison is
looking at where doorbell has never been
before so if you have existing wires
all three of these can be plugged in
using those existing wires
however if you have a situation where
there are no existing wires and you
still want to use it only one of these
devices will be able to accommodate that
and plug directly into the AC and that
is the dbell HD live
alright so for a lot of our viewers out
there you may not want to have your
doorbell connected to your Wi-Fi
well that is not a problem and one out
of three of these devices is able to
accommodate that and work through your
cable and that's through ethernet port
and the winner of this one is dbell HD
live so if your camera isn't straight in
front of you you can actually angle it
so it has 30 degree option and that's
what are 30 degree angle here now only
two out of the three devices can do that
and that is our dbell hd live and our skybell
now some of you will notice that when
you ring the bell on these one it will
bring directly on your phone but some of
you might want your house to ring as
well now only one of these three devices
come with a chime included which will
rain the interior of your house and that
is the dbell HD live now another fun fact
is that comparing these installation
wise one is easier than the other two
now if you live in Canada it happens to
be cold around but so i definitely
appreciated the fact that the dbell HD Live
life has an AC adapter which allows you
to be able to do the entire installation
from the comfort of your home the sky
bell and the ring pro do not have an AC
adapter now I was very pleasantly
surprised to see that one of these three
had a OneTouch configuration setup and
that was the dbell HD live for the next
one
our sky Bell actually had me go threw up
five stage process
which involves be putting in my email
and personal information and for the
ring pro it was even more complex nine
states process with had again my email
personal information my home address and
the list goes on
so in comparing them I definitely like
the one touch setup for a lot of you
security is a major concern so motion
and audio are paramount concern to you
not only one out of three of these
devices was able to accommodate both
motion and audio and that is the dbell HD
live the other two you owe me do with
motion
alright so for a lot of you staying on
the security concern you want to be able
to have the video happen
24/7 for months at a time before the
video loops back around that can only be
done one of two ways through NAS or
through network video recording and that
requires a built-in protocol called ONVIF
and only one out of three of these
devices have that capability and that is
the dbell HD Live How much is this all going
to cost me you might wonder lets check it out
up now this one right here the ring
pro is available for 249 dollars at Best Buy
which is not including the chimes and
hidden fees that comes per month our
next one is the skybell and that one is
$199 again
best buy and also not including the chime
and the monthly fees our third one in
dbell HD Live which is available for $129
online
including the chime and no monthly fees
now that concludes my comparison of the
top three video door now let's say I
already have the ring pro already installed
in my house i'm going to fork out
another hundred
and change for a new doorbell probably
not but i am in the market for getting a
new doorbell will i consider the HD live
doorbell
absolutely
well i hope you enjoyed that comparison
