In one aspect, a method is implemented for controlling a doorbell camera having a doorbell housing and a doorbell button mounted on a front cover plate of the doorbell housing. The doorbell housing contains a camera module, an LED indicator, a processor and memory including programs executed by the processor. The doorbell camera is electrically coupled to a remote chime via a bypass unit powered by a transformer that provides an input AC voltage. The remote chime is configured to ring in response to a user press on the doorbell button. A supply monitoring signal is generated based on the input AC voltage to indicate whether the input AC voltage is greater than a supply threshold. In accordance with the supply monitoring signal, the LED indicator displays on a surface of the doorbell housing one of a set of predetermined visual patterns, thereby sending a visual message to a user of the doorbell camera to indicate whether the input AC voltage is low with respect to the supply threshold.

What?You may be saying to yourself, “I thought this article was about how RING dominates the market with a superior device. ” Overall, I do believe that the RING video doorbell is a superior doorbell among its competitors but there are some individual qualities of other video doorbell devices that stand out, like video clarity and when it comes to video clarity or resolution, I reserve the first place to Skybell HD doorbell. It has excellent daytime video at 1080p and 5x zoom but its color night vision stands out in a crowd of RING imitators. All other doorbell cameras mentioned here will switch to an infrared mode at night in which we are all familiar with. Stand in front of any other doorbell camera at night and it will bathe you in a greenish or blue tint with your eyes reflecting a bright glow. The Skybell HD unit uses a slower frame rate at night to capture true color in very low light conditions giving you a more accurate account of the color of someone’s clothes at night. A feature I expect to see available in more security cameras in the future. I’m going to skip to the third best in doorbell cameras before we swing back to what I believe is easily the second best video doorbell camera when it comes to video quality. The Greet 2. 0 by Zmodo comes in third. I happen to use Zmodo products personally as back up cameras in indoor situations.
