If you want to add a smart video doorbell to your home, you generally have two choices: a wired unit that needs a pre-existing doorbell setup integrated into your house already, or a wireless solution. Up until now, that latter category has been dominated by Ring.
August is hoping to change that with the August View, a smart wireless video doorbell which does everything Ring can do, but just a little better. Since it's made by August, it also will easily integrate with its highly-regarded line of smart locks.
From the outset, the August View doesn't look like it offers much when compared to the Ring Video Doorbell 2. Both products essentially do the same thing: offer one-way video/two-way audio feeds of what's going on at your door which you can control from an app anywhere in the world. However, August is definitely offering just a little bit more.
For example, the August View has a 1440p camera resolution, while
The August View is also more customizable than what Ring offers. Altogether there are eight different faceplates you can choose from:
Unfortunately, these extra perks do result in a slightly higher price when it comes to the August View. The August View will sell for $230 — that's $31 more than the Ring Doorbell 2, which sells for $199.
However, that little extra is worth it knowing you'll get a big bump in video quality and the ability to pick the doorbell finish that really complements your home.
You'll be able to buy the August View from August's site and select national retailers on March 28, 2019.
