The doorbell captures video in sharp 2K HDR resolution, featuring a 166-degree diagonal field of view and a 1:1 aspect ratio for a complete head-to-toe perspective. It utilizes six IR LEDs for clear black and white night vision and captures color video even in low-light conditions. Connectivity is handled via dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, integrating seamlessly with the Google Home app and supporting Google and Alexa voice commands.
