In bright daylight, the camera showed sharp details, providing a clear image of everything in the room. The Flir FX doesn't have the same clarity in ambient daylight, but still produces excellent video. In nighttime video tests, the Flir FX was a close second behind our top performer, Belkin NetCam HD+, though its video clarity weakened beyond 10 feet. Setting up Flir FX is unusual, as it doesn't work until its batteries, one in the camera and one in its base, charge for at least 30 minutes. However, no other security camera in our review has a battery backup. We didn't like that the mobile app makes you hunt for the button to view video, which isn't as convenient as putting it on the main screen when the app opens.

I thought the expandable and weather resistant design of the Blink XT System made it a versatile surveillance solution for both indoor and outdoor use. The Amcrest UltraHD is a good option for use in low light surroundings and for keeping video file sizes down to a minimum, thanks to the H. 265 compression technology. I also included the Wyze Cam Wireless due to its Motion Tagging and Smart Sound Recognition functions. The former is used to display visual outlines of whatever it's tracking, while the sound recognition feature allows the unit to recognize the frequencies produced by many carbon monoxide detectors. Finally, I added the Morvelli FHD22 for its sleek appearance and powerful CMOS sensor.

RemoBell also runs on batteries and can be installed anywhere. But it doesn't connect to existing doorbell wiring, which means the doorbell won't chime inside the house, only on your smartphone. The August Doorbell Cam requires 16 24 volts of electricity and can replace only a wired mechanical doorbell. Field of View: Do you want a narrow view of just the person at the door, or do you want to see everything around your entryway?The Ring Video Doorbell 2 and Ring Pro boast 160 degree viewing angles, which let me see my whole porch and driveway. The RemoBell and August Doorbell cams have tighter angles, of 120 degrees. Video Resolution: The higher the resolution, the sharper the image, which will make it easier to identify people at your door. Both of Ring's doorbells record video in 1080p, while the RemoBell and August Doorbell Cam record in 720p HD. August's resolution is actually 1280 x 960, but that's not quite "full" 1080p resolution. Night Mode: The video doorbells we tested take different approaches to capturing video at night. The August Doorbell cam uses motion activated LEDs to light the area in front of the camera, so it can capture colors a little better. The RemoBell and Ring's doorbells use infrared night vision to see in the dark, but the result is monochrome video.
