Halloween is nearly here, which means lots of spooky little visitors arriving at your door. It's a lot of fun, but if you want to see who's waiting before opening the door with a bowl full of candy, you need a video doorbell.

Video doorbells are great for boosting your home security and watching out for deliveries all year round, but sometimes there's a catch. Although the doorbell itself might be cheap, many manufacturers lock the most advanced features (such as package detection) behind a subscription paywall. Want to save your videos and check them later? You might have to pay for that as well.
