How it works
1. The maker's spec table
Every figure comes from the manufacturer's own product or spec page, linked on the product card. Ring doesn't publish IP codes for its cameras and several lock makers skip battery life, so those cells show "Not listed" and score as the weakest value. Where a maker says a feature needs a paid plan, we quote it.
2. Different jobs, different weights
Doorbells and cameras are weighted toward resolution, color night vision and local recording; locks toward fingerprint, keypad, Wi-Fi and security rating.
3. Match it to your home
Check your doorbell wiring, door thickness and backset, and which smart-home system you use (Apple Home, Google, Alexa, Matter), then check the price on Amazon. Commissions never change the order.
