Before you get smart cameras or other smart tech, most people start with a smart doorbell. The good news is, they’re better than ever, with exceptional coverage of the area in front of your door, night vision, high quality video, and AI features. Smart doorbells make giving people access (or denying access) to your house easier. Need to let a neighbor in to feed the dog? You can set that up from your phone and then revoke it when you don’t need their help anymore. Plus, you can see who is at your door (and decide if you want to actually answer it), know when packages are delivered, and interact with those at the door when you’re not home using two-way video.

During Amazon’s ongoing October Prime Day, these smart doorbells are discounted as much as 60% off. (I have not tested all of these models.)
