If you own one of the best video doorbells, you'll know how incredibly useful they can be. Not only do they allow you to 'answer' the door when you're not home, but they add a level of security that can put anyone's mind at ease. A lot of models can also sync up to other smart home products, including the best smart bulbs and best smart speakers.
However, some users find that unexpected costs arrive after using a video doorbell for a month or so. Companies either request more money to extend video storage, or even require a monthly subscription for users to access further features. With recent news that Ring and Arlo have increased their monthly subscription charges by up to 60%, many video doorbell users have been left feeling disappointed and well, a little conned too.
