If you're looking for a budget-friendly smart doorbell, and don't mind going the pre-owned route, this (Like New) Blink Video Doorbell is now $27.99 (down from $44.99)-its lowest price yet, according to price trackers. Prime members get free shipping, while non-Prime shoppers need to hit the $35 minimum threshold for free delivery.

That "Like New" tag means this device has been refurbished, tested, and certified to work like a fresh-out-of-the-box unit. And to back that up, it comes with the same one-year limited warranty as a brand-new one (so you're not rolling the dice on reliability).

Available in black or white, the video doorbell connects via 2.4 GHz wifi and offers wired (16-24 VAC) and wireless (AA battery-powered) setups, with Blink claiming up to two years of battery life-though real-world performance varies depending on settings and use. Its 135 horizontal and 80 vertical field of view gives decent coverage (although it's not the widest out there) with 1080p HD video quality and infrared night vision for after-dark monitoring. It also integrates well with Echo Show devices for live feeds, lets you chat with visitors via two-way audio, and supports custom Alexa routines. That said, it doesn't work with Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, or IFTTT, which could feel limiting, notes this PCMag review.

Like most budget smart doorbells, cloud storage requires subscriptions. You get a free 30-day trial, but after that, a $3 per month Basic plan is required to save and share motion-triggered recordings and keep video history (up to 60 days) for a single camera. If you have multiple cameras, the Plus plan ($10/month) covers unlimited devices. If you don't want to deal with subscriptions, there's an option for local storage, but you'll need the Sync Module 2 and a USB drive (up to 256GB), which are sold separately. Without a subscription or the hub, you can still use live view and two-way audio, but only in response to a doorbell press or motion event-no on-demand access to saved footage (so if you miss an event there's no way to check what happened). At $28, this is an easy buy-but if you want full functionality, you might end up spending more down the line. A new Blink Video Doorbell + Sync Module 2 bundle costs $69.99.
