The night mode feature helps us tremendously since he is a black lab and hard to spot sometimes. The app also lets us swap through accounts easily to switch our viewing tablets and lets us know our battery percentage at all times. I’d highly recommend Alfred to anyone with a need to monitor their pet. Also, the motion detection feature along with instant notifications to your phone make it a solid choice for baby and house monitoring as well. I have used this app off and on for almost two years. I don’t like the recent upgrades that limited the amount of time movement is recorded.

When Abode’s motion sensors are triggered, it snaps a photo to show you what triggered it. The smart key fob and its three buttons — away, standby/disarm, and home — allow you to disarm as you walk towards the front door. We found that a lot more convenient than racing inside to beat the alarm’s 30 second window, particularly if you have an armful of groceries or a baby on your hip. The SimpliSafe system requires a professional monitoring subscription to receive alerts. That’s because it relies on a cellular connection rather than internet, so someone needs to send you an SMS text. There’s no option to receive automatic in app alerts. This also means your DIY security system is essentially a local alarm — meaning if a burglar breaks in, your alarm will activate, but the police won’t be alerted. You’ll have to pay for one of the professional monitoring plans to save yourself the task of keeping a constant eye on the video feed. That said, SimpliSafe’s plans are still some of the most cost effective in the industry its most expensive plan is still $10 cheaper than Frontpoint’s least expensive. Whether you choose to monitor yourself or have professionals do it for you, you’ll still be charged. Scout charges $10 per month just for DIY monitoring — there is no free monitoring plan.

You can't look in on a live video stream because the unit goes into hibernation when nobody's around. Video and Audio QualityWhen someone calls at your door, the video doorbell is only as good as the video and audio in the call. For video, we used a video test chart to evaluate clarity in daytime and nighttime conditions, giving scores based on which portions of the chart were easy to read. Every unit we tested produced great results, though the Ring Doorbell Pro had the best video quality overall. To a lesser extent, we also examined effective field of view and whether the video filled the screen. For example, the video doorbells from Ring each have a wide field of view, but the video has a fish eye effect that doesn't fill the whole screen and distorts the image around the edge. While it's not a huge problem for most people, some users, including us, might prefer fullscreen video. For audio quality, we gave pass/fail scores based on how clear and loud a call was on the mobile app as well as the built in speaker on each unit. Although there were small differences in audio quality, we found each unit sufficient for brief conversations with someone at the door. Ease of InstallationMore than anything else, easy installation relies on what comes in the box with the smart doorbell. We gave higher scores to products that come with printed instructions, screwdrivers, masonry drill bits, levels, battery chargers and extra parts where applicable.
