Once I verified that the Chime was powered up, it was immediately paired to the doorbell and setup was complete. The August View Doorbell Camera captures sharp and colorful daytime video at 1440p, and the motion sensor does a fine job of detecting motion with very few false alerts. Setup is easy and you can have the doorbell work with August smart locks or trigger other smart home devices using IFTTT applets. That said, the View's inability to maintain a 2. 4GHz Wi Fi connection is troubling, and the iOS app needs tweaking. Until August gets these issues ironed out, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 is your best bet for a completely wireless smart doorbell. If you have existing doorbell wiring or don't mind running wire out to your door, check out our Editors' Choice, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. It's a bit more expensive than the August View, but it supports Alexa and Google Assistant video streaming, and its monthly cloud service is more affordable. Be aware of everything that occurs on your doorstep with the doorbell camera. Receive push notifications on your mobile device anytime someone rings the bell and you’ll be able to view your live footage and communicate with whoever is there. Take it a step further by using your camera’s motion detection settings to alert you to any movement on your entryway, or choose specific areas that you want scanned for movement.
