During testing, the Eufy Video Doorbell Dual impressed us with its sharp footage (including crisp night vision) and twin cameras that give you a clear view of both visitors and packages. You get instant notifications when someone calls, and your videos are saved on an internal SD card so you can check them out for free any time.

We noticed that it's chunkier than some other video doorbells we've tested, but that's a small quibble considering how much you're getting here. Take a look at our full Eufy Video Doorbell Dual review for more details.

What if you still want a Ring, but not a subscription? Well, you can use a Ring doorbell without a subscription, with basic features like two-way chat and live view available free as part of the basic feature set, but you'll need to sign up for a Ring Home plan to review video recording and unlock features like person-recognition.
