Battery vs. Wired: Which to Choose?

• Installation

  • Battery model: Wire‑free, ideal for renters or homes without existing doorbell wiring.
  • Wired model: Requires connection to your home’s doorbell system but eliminates the need for recharging.

• Video Quality

  • Battery: 960p resolution.
  • Wired: Sharper 2K video with a slightly wider 166° field of view.

• Video History

  • Battery: Up to 3 hours of event‑based history by default.
  • Wired: Up to 6 hours of built‑in video previews.

• Long‑Term Investment

  • If you already have wiring, the wired version generally offers better long‑term value due to higher resolution and longer preview storage.
