It’s a no frills option, but the Blink Video Doorbell does exactly what it's meant to do, and as a tech traditionalist that's good enough for me

When it comes to the world of video doorbells, it really feels there is one brand that dominates the market. Most people I know with a video doorbell have a Ring model, and rave about the range of features it offers.

That said, I’m not one for jumping on a 'brandwagon', and I am a little dubious about paying for a ton of added features when I'd just prefer the basics done well. There are other video doorbell brands out there that are less expensive and have a reputation for being easier to manage; Blink being one of them.
