Nest Doorbell (battery)
The Google Nest Doorbell (battery) delivers a wide, crisp image, and includes person, package, and vehicle detection for free, along with three hours of local storage. However, you have to remove the whole thing if you want to recharge its battery, and Google doesn't make a chime that pairs with the device.
