As with a lot of smart home tech, choosing a connected doorbell can feel preposterous and impossible. There are numerous options, and if you don’t quite know what you’re looking for, choosing the right one can feel like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles. Thankfully, 2016 gave us a clear frontrunner with Skybell’s HD video doorbell. It’s the follow-up to last year’s excellent version, which made our list of best home gadgets for 2015. The latest effort separates itself from the pack with its crystal clear 1080P resolution, on-demand clip recording, free video storage and third party integrations like IFTTT and Amazon’s Alexa.
