Frequently asked questions
Can I film the sidewalk with a video doorbell?
Laws vary by state, but recording public areas is generally allowed while recording audio may require consent. Set privacy zones to block out neighbors and the street.
Do I need a subscription?
Not with the models in this guide. They store recordings locally.
