“We should definitely be concerned about this surveillance network that is being built, this public safety infrastructure that is being built, that isn’t going through a full proper process,” Maass says. The Ring Doorbell makes it easy to know who is at your door at any given time. And if you don't have your mobile device nearby to check for alerts, you can easily ask Alexa to let you know. All models of the Ring Video Doorbell are compatible with both the Amazon Echo Show and the Amazon Echo Spot—the two smart displays made by Amazon. The Ring Doorbell is also compatible with Amazon Echo Dot. If someone rings the doorbell, Alexa will make an announcement. However, since the Dot is a speaker with no video screen, you will not be able to view the Ring Doorbell camera on your Dot. Once connected, you can see, hear, and talk to visitors through one of your compatible Echo devices. If your Ring devices don’t appear using the connection method listed above, you can ask Alexa to help with that by saying, "Alexa, discover my devices. " While in the Amazon Alexa app, tap Devices and then click on Discover to automatically sync your Ring Doorbell to Amazon Alexa. If you’re having trouble connecting or are experiencing long connection times, you may want to consider buying the Ring Chime Pro.

Nest Cam Indoor doesn't require a paid subscription to view live video, get sound alerts and motion alerts. However, you need to pay for Nest Aware subscription to record video, download clips and create time lapse videos. The Nest Cam Indoor's two year warranty is the best in our review.
