Ring
The motion detector feature of the doorbell is one of the coolest features in this video doorbell. The user will be informed of any activity in the vicinity of the device by the Ring app and the high definition night vision camera is activated spontaneously. The app is available on iOS and android compatible devices.
The user will be able to know who is at the door, as there will be an alert sent to the app. The user can interact with the visitor using the microphone and the speakers on the gadget. One more reason for the user to be happy about the bell is that if it gets stolen, the company will replace it without any extra cost.
Skybell
The manufacturer of the Skybell claims it to be the only video doorbell that would give the user an on demand video through its app. They also mention the operating temperature of the bell between -40 to 150°F, the widest in the competition.
As soon as the wireless video doorbell is rung, there is an alert on the user’s smartphone. The user can interact with the visitor from his smartphone, no matter where he is. Additionally, there are features of night vision and motion detection in the Skybell. The user through the smart app can even turn of the sound of the bell from anywhere.
DoorBird

The motion sensor of the Doorbird will inform the user on his smartphone of any activity near the door, the user can also choose to sound the alarm. When the visitor rings the DoorBird bell button, the iOS or android smartphone of the user would get an alert.

Vivint doorbell camera
