ADT’s use of Google Nest Doorbell, one of the smartest video doorbells right now, propels it to the top spot.
Updated January 15, 2025
copied!
Doorbell cameras started as standalone devices designed to give our home security an extra boost, but as security companies soon realized, they are better as a part of a comprehensive home security system. That’s why nearly every security system now integrates with doorbell cameras one way or another. And in our expert opinion, it makes sense to consider a security system’s video doorbell compatibility before buying it, given how important front door security is.
At the top of our list when it comes to security systems that work with doorbell cameras is ADT. The main reason is that the doorbell camera is made by Google Nest, so you know it’s high-tech. But another reason is ADT’s Trusted Neighbor feature, which makes good use of the Nest Doorbell’s facial recognition. Besides ADT though, we like that SimpliSafe and Frontpoint are easy to set up; that Vivint’s doorbell has state-of-the-art features; and that Ring offers an overwhelming number of options. Learn more about them here.
From Anthony Travaglia, Retired Police Officer, Home Security Expert:
“Having a doorbell camera is a great way to protect your home from burglars, home invaders, and package thieves. There are a couple of different tactics criminals use. Some like to knock or ring the doorbell to make sure no one is home. These burglars typically don’t want to be seen. They want to get in and out quickly without detection. While another tactic, usually used for home invasions, is to knock or ring the doorbell hoping someone will answer. Once the homeowner opens the door, they will push their way into the home and hold everyone inside captive while they conduct their crime.
Unfortunately, these types of criminals sometimes aren’t there just to steal property. During these types of home invasions other crimes can occur like battery, assault, and even murder. Knowing who is at your door with a doorbell camera is a good way not to fall victim to these crimes.”
We want to make trustworthy and unbiased recommendations, so we personally test the security systems we review. When we test a system, we buy the equipment with our own money, set them up in our homes, and assess them over weeks or months. This lets us get a feel for the features, app, response time, and overall effectiveness. This approach allows us to make accurate and honest recommendations.
We give each security system we test a fair treatment by installing them in the same environment. We use a 2,200-square-foot house owned by one of security experts as our testing ground. Using a real house gives us the most accurate results compared to testing equipment in a lab.
We go further by buying the same system components and installing them in identical locations around the house. Here’s what our testing setup looks like:
We also drew from our extensive experience in the industry to narrow down the most critical factors for security systems with doorbell cameras. These are the factors we identified as top priority:
After carefully examining dozens of systems using these criteria, here’s how we arrived at our top picks:

Every recommendation is based on first-hand product experience and a thorough understanding of the home security industry. Now, let’s learn more about the best security systems with doorbell cameras.
The red glow around our Vivint doorbell’s button serves as a warning that it’s armed and ready to record unwelcome guests.
ADT is a great home security system – good enough to earn a spot at the top of our list of best home security systems. The company has been around for 150 years – how’s that for a reputation? You get solid, reliable equipment, and professional monitoring that relies on a dozen different monitoring centers scattered around the country. And while ADT has a long history, it continues to innovate, pushing the boundaries of the industry. During our recent ADT tests, for example, we experienced ADT’s DIY installation options and the option to self-monitor.
Let’s not be coy, though. The reason ADT is at the top of this particular list is because it offers Google Nest video doorbells. Google manufactures some of the smartest cameras on the market. You can find more information in our Nest Doorbell review, but it can do things other entries on this list just can’t. Yes, ADT is a great company, but choosing to partner with Google managed to make it even better.
One big reason that we love the Nest Doorbell is that it has facial recognition. No other doorbell camera on this list has it, but they should. The front door is the ideal place for a camera with facial recognition. For instance, we were able to customize alerts so that we’d get notified specifically when our house cleaner is at the door. That way, we can unlock the door for her. By the way, our ADT system also includes a smart lock, so we don’t need to leave the ADT+ app. That’s the beauty of a doorbell camera that works with a smart security system.
Now, if you think that’s impressive, there’s a feature we like better called Trusted Neighbor. It uses the same components – the Nest Doorbell, a smart lock, and the ADT app – but automates the whole process. That means when our doorbell sees our cleaner, it kicks off a process that verifies her identity. And once it’s sure that it’s her, our ADT system disarms, and the front door unlocks.
Don’t worry, there are safeguards in place. For example, we set Trusted Neighbor so that it would only let our cleaner in on Tuesdays between three and four o’clock in the afternoon. That’s the time she normally comes. You can also create rules, like to only let a certain trusted person in when there’s an active smoke alarm.
That said, Trusted Neighbor doesn’t work like magic. It took us about a week to introduce our faces to Nest Doorbell’s facial recognition before it accurately recognized us, who it sees everyday. For our cleaner, it took about a month of once-a-week visits. We recommend not using Trusted Neighbor until Nest’s facial recognition accuracy is up to about 90-percent.
Pro Tip: Nest Doorbells can set you back around $200 when you buy them from ADT. But we recommend keeping an eye on the ADT website as they regularly offer new customers exclusive deals, including free video doorbells.
Traditionally, ADT’s prices have been the main drawback from investing in one of its security systems. Recently, though, ADT has dropped prices across the board. Below, you can see how each of its professionally installed systems compares and just how much the costs have fallen.
| Feature | Secure Home | Smart Home | Video and Smart Home |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital control panel | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Contact sensors | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Motion detector | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Smart door lock | No | 1 | 1 |
| Smart plug | No | 1 | 1 |
| Remote arm/disarm | No | Yes | Yes |
| Indoor camera | No | No | 1 |
| Video doorbell | No | No | 1 |
| Remote livestreaming | No | No | Yes |
| Customizable alerts | No | No | Yes |
| New Monitoring Prices | $29.99 | $44.99 | $44.99 |
| Old Equipment Cost | Starts at $599 | Starts at $919 | Starts at $1,049 |
| New Equipment Cost | Starts at $499 | Starts at $778 | Starts at $1,586 |
And those price cuts are just for starters. Right now, ADT is throwing in a free Nest Doorbell and a free Nest Cam (battery). Plus, the company has recently introduced an entirely new line of systems that don’t require professional installation. You save by setting them up yourself, but their up-front prices are also significantly cheaper. A Build-Your-Own system is under $200, though you don’t get the free Nest cameras with that deal.

SimpliSafe’s video doorbell offers reliability, ease of installation, and affordability. You can use it on its own, but it’s most effective when you integrate it into a SimpliSafe security system. With SimpliSafe’s new Fast Protect monitoring service, professional monitors employ your cameras to verify every security alert. That means police respond to emergencies faster. You don’t have to sign up for Fast Protect. True to its origins, SimpliSafe still allows you to self-monitor your home security system for no money whatsoever. Go that route, though, and this doorbell is just a doorbell. Not a terrible doorbell, but let’s call it an average doorbell.
FYI: When we tested the Fast Protect Monitoring for our review of SimpliSafe, the response times were extremely fast (about 20 seconds on average), and the technicians were all very helpful and professional.
SimpliSafe isn’t Nest. For example, SimpliSafe doesn’t offer facial recognition or person detection. It compensates, though, with motion detection and detection zones. When we tested the SimpliSafe video doorbell, we found that its wide range of vision, and its unique pan and zoom feature let us see everything — even packages set underneath it. And it had enough smart features to limit the number of false positives. It didn’t eliminate them entirely, but it was enough to keep us from getting headaches from its alerts.
One of the primary drawbacks is you have to hardwire the doorbell. Before you mark SimpliSafe off your list, though, you should know that the company provides one of the easiest self-install systems on the market. Even if you’re not handy, you should still be able to get this device installed. It’s all about following the instructions. Oh, and turn the power off before you start. You don’t want to get zapped like we did.
And as far as pricing goes, this doorbell is right on the money. At just $169, it’s an option for most budgets; when you consider what you’re getting for that price tag, we think it’s more than affordable. And speaking of pricing…
Another benefit of going with a SimpliSafe system is its affordability. We have more on this in our guide to SimpliSafe’s pricing, but here’s a quick breakdown of their security bundles:
| Package Name | Number of Components | Price |
|---|---|---|
| The Foundation | 4 | $244.96 |
| The Essentials | 6 | $274.95 |
| The Lighthouse | 7 | $464.93 |
| The Hearth | 9 | $394.91 |
| The Beacon | 10 | $669.90 |
| The Knox | 13 | $469.78 |
| The Haven | 14 | $509.86 |
Also keep in mind that SimpliSafe is always running a sale. We’ve been covering the brand for years, and we’ve rarely seen SimpliSafe charge full price for new customers. If none of these bundles work for you, though, you can always build out your own system using individual components. Here’s how the prices look with that option:
| Component | Cost |
|---|---|
| Entry sensor | $14.99 |
| Motion sensor | $34.99 |
| Glass-break sensor | $39.99 |
| Outdoor camera | $189.99 |
| Smart Alarm indoor camera | $139.99 |
| SimpliCam indoor camera | $99.99 |
| Video doorbell | $169.99 |
| Water sensor | $19.99 |
| Smoke and carbon monoxide detector | $59.99 |
| Smoke detector | $34.99 |
| Temperature sensor | $29.99 |
| Panic button | $19.99 |
| Key fob | $24.99 |
| Extra-loud siren | $59.99 |
As far as monitoring goes, SimpliSafe is one of the best no-fee security systems out there; they allow their customers to self-monitor their systems with no additional cost. If you’re looking for professional monitoring, though, there are two options. The Fast Protect Monitoring that we mentioned above is $31.99 per month, and standard monitoring is just $21.99 per month.

| Smart platform integration | Alexa and Google Home |
| Equipment Cost | Packages starting at $249.96 |
| Monthly Monitoring Cost | From $9.99 |
| Contract Length | Monthly |
More than any other company on this list, Vivint takes a white-glove approach to home security; when you use any of Vivint’s cameras — the doorbell cam included — you’ll see what we mean. They place a heavy emphasis on customer service and they offer high-tech equipment with all the latest home automation capabilities.
Now, we’re DIYers at heart, but we can appreciate the advantages of white-glove service. When we tested Vivint, we didn’t mind putting our feet up and letting someone else take care of the installation. Likewise, it was nice to have all the home automation capabilities Vivint provides. For instance, we paired the Vivint system with our Amazon assistant and used voice commands to control everything. These kinds of features make life easier. No surprise, then, that Vivint is number one on our list of the best security systems for Alexa.
Vivint has a great professional monitoring plan, but the company doesn’t want you to have to wait for emergency personnel to arrive. So the video doorbell doesn’t just send an alert to a monitoring station. It includes active theft protection. What does that mean? It means that bright lights come on and an alarm sounds the moment the doorbell detects that something is amiss. We can’t guarantee that these features deter every porch pirate, but if we were looking to snag a package and those kinds of protections went off, we’d be gone in a flash. All-in-all, Vivint offers some of the best professional monitoring in the business,
There’s a price to pay for Vivint’s quality, though. First, there’s a literal price, and it can be pretty steep. The doorbell alone costs around $250, and you can’t just order a doorbell. Vivint requires you to invest in a complete system – sensors, cameras, the works. There are less obvious costs to a Vivint system as well. In addition to purchasing a system, Vivint requires you sign up for a monthly professional monitoring plan. None of your equipment will work without it. No switching to another company and taking your shiny new doorbell with you. When you’re done with Vivint monitoring, you give up your equipment, so it helps if you know for sure you want to stick with the company for the long term.
FYI: We had trouble seeing something in the distance, so we cast the live stream to our FireTV via Alexa. The image quality was superb, and we had a better view of the Uber Eats driver making their way to our front doorstep.
Ringing the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro
We’ve kind of hinted at it, but we’ll just come out and say it: The main drawback here is Vivint’s price. Put simply, this is a pretty expensive system. In all, our equipment cost over $1,000 when we were testing everything out, and their professional monitoring costs between $29.99 and $44.99 per month. If you’re willing to pay these prices, though, you’re going to be getting one of the most technologically advanced home security systems out there.
Again, it can be difficult to price Vivint systems to the penny, partly because Vivint custom-builds every system and partly because Vivint doesn’t like publishing its prices. Even so, we can give you some idea of what individual equipment pieces cost.
| Component | Price |
|---|---|
| Smart drive (storage) | $250 |
| Car guard | $200 |
| Smoke detector | $100 |
| Carbon monoxide detector | $100 |
| Smoke alarm and carbon monoxide monitor | $100 |
| Smart lock | $180 |
| Garage door controller | $100 |
| Smart thermostat | $170 |
| Lamp module | $50 |
| Doorbell Camera Pro | $250 |
| Outdoor Camera Pro | $400 |
| Ping indoor camera | $200 |
| Indoor Camera Pro | $200 |
| Spotlight Pro | $250 |
| Water sensor | $50 |
| Flood, freeze, and heat sensor | $50 |

| Key fob | $50 |
| Tilt sensor | $50 |
| Monitoring Options | Professional only |
|---|---|
| Installation | Professional |
| Smart Platform Integration | Alexa and Google Home |
| Equipment Cost | From $599.99 |
| Monthly Monitoring Cost | From $40 |
| Contract Length | 48 to 60 months |
When we tested Frontpoint, we were impressed by the high quality of the equipment. We were equally impressed with how easy it was to set all our equipment up. The fact is, Frontpoint is one of the best DIY systems out there, and the whole process only took us about 30 minutes from start to finish.
That’s the thing about Frontpoint, though. It’s one of the best wireless security systems in the industry today, a system that manages to combine the best features of DIY systems and professionally monitored systems. Yet, Frontpoint isn’t as well known as it should be. That’s not great for Frontpoint. Every company wants more name recognition. It’s good for you, though, because it means you can often get affordable prices on a top-tier system.
Frontpoint used to outsource its video doorbell manufacturing to Skybell. Not a bad company and not a bad device. Manufacturing its own equipment, though, has allowed Frontpoint to take more ownership of its systems. It’s also brought the video doorbell’s price down a notch, since there’s no middle man taking a cut of the costs. You can get a wired and wireless version, both with all the features you need to keep you safe.
As a starting point, these cameras are pre-programmed and ready to go right out of the box. Sure, you can adjust all the settings, but it’s nice not to have to worry about that when you’re just trying to get all your devices to communicate with one another. Motion detection, for example, is already set at low sensitivity when the doorbell arrives. It isn’t going to trigger every time a leaf falls in your yard, which cuts down on false alerts and can drain your video doorbell’s battery pretty quickly.
Unboxing the Frontpoint Doorbell CameraIn addition to sensitivity settings, Frontpoint’s doorbell also features energy-saver smart video analytics and activity zones that allow you to focus on specific areas of the frame and exclude others. You can also set times and days you want to receive notifications so your phone won’t be buzzing after bedtime.
FYI: We were shocked on one very cold winter night to find that the doorbell camera was still working. In fact, it will operate in temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Similar to SimpliSafe, you can select a Frontpoint package or build out a system from individual components. We have more in our guide to Frontpoint’s costs, but here’s an overview of the packages the company offers:
| Name | Equipment | Regular Price | Sale Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultimate Home Security System |
|
$1,351.83 | $419 |
| Premier Home Security System |
|
$771.90 | $169 |
| Starter Home Security System |
|
$541.91 | $79.99 |
Do a little comparison shopping, and you’ll find these prices are similar to what SimpliSafe charges. That makes them more affordable than full-service companies like Vivint and ADT.
Here’s what you’ll pay for individual Frontpoint components:
| Component | Price |
|---|---|
| Carbon monoxide sensor | $65.49 |
| Door or window sensor | $19.24 |
| Doorbell camera | $109.99 |
| Extra keypad | $30.24 |
| Flood sensor | $24.74 |
| Garage door tilt sensor | $24.74 |
| Glass-break sensor | $41.24 |
| Indoor camera | $65.99 |
| Keychain remote | $17.59 |
| Motion sensor | $38.74 |
| Outdoor camera | $126.49 |
| Outdoor smart plug | $27.49 |
| Premium indoor camera | $109.99 |
| Smart door lock | $109.99 |
| Touchscreen | $82.49 |
We’ve already mentioned that Frontpoint straddles a line in the industry between DIY systems and full-service systems. That’s true of the company’s pricing as well. While Frontpoint equipment prices are lower than most full-service companies, for instance, its monitoring prices are similar to those full-service companies’ prices. Fronpoint offers just one plan, and it costs $49.99 per month, which is a bit higher than what ADT and Vivint charge.
| Equipment cost | Packages starting at $79 |
|---|---|
| Monitoring options | Professional |
| Monitoring cost | Starting at $49 per month |
| Contract lengths | Monthly or 36 months |
| Installation options | DIY |
| Smart platform integrations | Google Home, Alexa, and Siri |
Ring’s video doorbells are what popularized this category of security equipment in the first place. In the decade or so since that first model hit the shelves, the company has been improving its offerings.
Ring isn’t just a video doorbell company anymore, though. The company now manufactures a complete range of home security equipment, from entry sensors to smoke detectors. In addition, Ring now offers home security packages as well as professional monitoring. They’ve been expanding them, too. Of course, Ring remains one of the top video doorbell brands, but has also become a major player in the security system market at large.
Most of the companies on this list offer just one video doorbell model. Given Ring’s background, though, it probably won’t surprise you that it offers quite a few. You can pick up the original Wired Video Doorbell, for just $49.99, putting it within reach of almost any homeowner. If you’re in the market for something more high-tech, though, the Video Doorbell Elite provides advanced motion detection, customizable motion zones, a 160-degree field of view, and two-way audio with noise cancellation for $349.99. Between these two options, there are plenty of other middle-of-the-road doorbells, both hardwired and battery-powered. Read more about these options in our guide to Ring’s video doorbells.
Ring Video Doorbell 3, Installed
When we were testing out the Ring Alarm system, we were impressed with the quality of the video doorbell we were working with. We went with the Ring Video Doorbell 2 — one of their higher-priced pieces at $229.99. We appreciated the crystal-clear 1080p HD video and the massive 160-degree field of view. We could see everything we needed to from our stoop out to the street. The two-way talk left a little something to be desired — we thought it was a little laggy. Though, to be fair, we have yet to test a video doorbell where that isn’t an issue.
One of the nice things about Ring’s large selection is that it’s easy to find a doorbell or an entire system that is within your price range. If you’re just looking to get something basic, a starting point for improving your family’s safety, you can buy a single video doorbell for just $50. By itself, that will improve your home security exponentially. On the other hand, you can invest in complete 14-piece systems for around $330, or upgrade your doorbell camera to a top-of-the-line Video Doorbell Elite with all the bells and whistles for $350. Check out our complete Ring Alarm prices page for more cost analysis, but here’s a quick rundown of Ring’s most popular alarm systems and costs.
| Package | Price |
|---|---|
| Ring Alarm 5-Piece | $199.99 |
| Ring Alarm 8-Piece | $249.99 |
| Ring Alarm 10-Piece | $259.99 |
| Ring Alarm 14-Piece | $329.99 |
| Ring Alarm Pro (Base Station Only) | $249.99 |
| Ring Alarm Pro 8-Piece | $299.99 |
| Ring Alarm Pro 14-Piece | $379.99 |
And for good measure, here’s a list of their current doorbell prices as well:

From Anthony Travaglia, Retired Police Officer, Home Security Expert:
“Having a doorbell camera is a great way to protect your home from burglars, home invaders, and package thieves. There are a couple of different tactics criminals use. Some like to knock or ring the doorbell to make sure no one is home. These burglars typically don’t want to be seen. They want to get in and out quickly without detection.

While some folks think that video doorbells are a bit of a gimmick, there are actually plenty of real-world security benefits to using them. Here are just a few:
The data backs this up. Here are some eye-opening statistics on the benefits of installing a video doorbell.
Here’s a sample of Nest Doorbells’s image quality.
There are several things to keep in mind when you’re shopping for a video doorbell. Here are some of the most important considerations:
Pro Tip: If you plan on using SD cards, note that a 128GB option stores up to 24 hours of continuous footage at 1080p resolution. If you want to record video in 4K, we recommend choosing a 256 GB card or higher.
Want to get the most out of your new video doorbell? Here are few pointers from installation to day-to-day operation:
With these tips in mind, you’re going to be well on your way to integrating a video doorbell into a more comprehensive security system.
We tweaked Ring’s sensitivity and notification settings to our liking.
The following are some common features found in home security systems that include video doorbell cameras:
Remote access is a key feature of the best home security systems with doorbell cameras. And it’s incredibly powerful. You can view your doorbell camera’s live feed on your smartphone from virtually anywhere in the world. Just log in to the companion app to access, monitor, and control your home security and automation setup. Welcome to the future.
Here’s another value-packed feature of doorbell cameras. Video recording captures suspicious activity, break-ins and burglaries, and even environmental hazards. Some high-tech doorbell cameras offer continuous recording, while others record intermittently when triggered by activity. A security camera with video recording, combined with a cloud storage plan, is your ticket to a safe home.
Vivint Doorbell recording in the Vivint App
Knowledge is power. That’s why mobile alerts are so popular. The best home security systems with doorbell cameras include mobile alerts in their suite of features. If and when your camera detects activity, it automatically sends you an alert so you can take action. If it’s a good guy, great! But if it’s a bad guy … it’s time to make him pay.
Simply put, entryway sensors make the security system — they secure the perimeter of your home. Without the advance warning of a sensor, anyone could walk onto your property. (Or in reverse, your wandering toddler could escape out an unlocked door.) Magnetic sensors come standard with all systems, and when active in “arm” mode, the alarm will sound the moment a door or window opens. These add to the protection offered by a video doorbell camera.
Here we are installing the new and improved SimpliSafe Motion Sensor.
Now that your entryway is secure with a doorbell camera and sensors, it’s time to round-out your home security system with motion detectors. These devices are strategically mounted throughout your home to monitor activity inside. If they detect movement, the alarm sounds and alerts are sent. Rest assured that if there’s any motion or commotion, you’ll be the first to know.
Doorbell cameras are the foundation of smart home security, but the more devices you can connect your doorbell to, the more secure and convenient your life is going to be. With that in mind, look for home security systems and doorbell cameras that support a broad range of home automation ecosystems and features. Can you operate your door locks remotely? Can you control when your lights come on? Can you open your garage door and turn off your thermostat with just your voice? In addition, you want a system that allows you to control all your devices – including your doorbell camera – through the system app.
Two-way voice comes with the best home security doorbell cameras. At work but have a visitor at your front door? No problem. You’ll get a mobile alert, allowing you to open the app and talk with the person remotely. If it’s the mailman, have him hide your package. If it’s a burglar, tell him to skedaddle. If it’s your mother-in-law … you’re on your own.
Night vision is another great feature that comes standard with many home security doorbell cameras. Some night vision cameras are black and white, while others boast full-color imaging. Both types leverage infrared technology to record crisp and clear video as if it were broad daylight. Impressive tech-forward functionality aside, night vision just sounds cool.
Ring Doorbell Camera Night Vision
Live view, live stream, live feed — whatever you call it, just be sure your doorbell camera has it. This feature lets you tap into a real-time video feed of your doorbell camera. Simply log in to your home security system’s companion app, open the live view option, and get comfortable. This feature is especially powerful when combined with two-way voice.
