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. Design: Aesthetics may be a concern. After all, you're bolting this thing to the front of your house!The Ring Pro looks the most like a traditional doorbell, and Ring even includes four faceplates, so you can choose which matches your house's trim or paint one exactly the shade you like.
