Video resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels gives the EZVIZ DB1 excellent image quality. You’ll mount the power kit in your in your doorbell chime, connect the DB1 to the wires that powered your old doorbell, and use the EZVIZ app to finish setup. The DB1 depends on your home having existing low-voltage wiring from an existing doorbell, and there’s small power-adapter in the box.

Installing the doorbell is a relatively straightforward process. The oversized camera lens in the middle ensures no one will mistake it for anything other than a surveillance device, even if the equally large button at the bottom makes it clear what visitors should push to announce their arrival on your doorstep. The DB1 is bulkier than many other video doorbells we’ve evaluated lately. Several other aspects of this video doorbell, however, leave us significantly less enthused. The EZVIZ DB1 doesn’t have a top-shelf feature set, but its $150 street price will garner attention, and it has a unique feature-a microSD card slot-we’d like to see other manufacturers copy.

EZVIZ, best known for its home security cameras, now has a mid-range wired video doorbell.
