Best Video Doorbell for Memphis Homes: Alarm.com, Eufy, and Ring

A package lands on your porch in High Point Terrace while you're at work. Or the doorbell rings just as you're getting supper started. Being able to glance at your phone, see who's there, and talk to them can make an ordinary Memphis day easier.

I get the “which is best?” question at least once a week. For a first doorbell camera, start with two simple questions: Do you already have a security system you like? And are you comfortable paying a monthly fee to keep recordings?

Quick comparison: Alarm.com vs Eufy vs Ring

• Alarm.com ADC-VDB775 — about $225–$250 before install; provider monthly plan; best if you want doorbell, alarm, and locks in one app
• Eufy E340 — about $150; no required subscription; best if budget and DIY matter more than all-day recording
• Ring Wired Doorbell 4K Pro — about $250; ~$5/mo for saved video; best if you already use Ring cameras

Which video doorbell is best if I already have Alarm.com?

Alarm.com’s ADC-VDB775 is worth a look if you already use a compatible alarm system. Doorbell video, your alarm, and compatible locks can share one app, so there’s less switching around. The camera is 4MP, with on-board video analytics, 2-way audio, and motion and package detection. With an SD card, it can also do continuous recording. Expect roughly $225–$250 for the camera before installation. The tradeoff is an ongoing provider-priced service plan, even with the card. Ask your security company for the complete installed and monthly price.

Which video doorbell is best if I don’t want another monthly bill?

Eufy’s E340 is a good starting point when avoiding another monthly bill matters most. At a regular price of about $150, it saves activity clips in built-in storage without a required subscription. A second camera looks down toward packages, which helps when a delivery sits below the main view. The tradeoffs: it records clips rather than all day, and a battery-only setup means remembering to recharge. Connecting doorbell wiring helps keep the battery topped up. This is a DIY install—you’ll handle support when Wi-Fi drops or the app acts up. If you’re tech-savvy and watching the budget, it’s worth considering.

Which video doorbell is best if I already use Ring?

Ring’s Wired Doorbell 4K Pro, regularly about $250, may suit a household already using Ring cameras. It stays in the same app, and wired power means no battery to recharge. Check your existing doorbell voltage first—this unit wants about 16–24 VAC, more than many older analog bells deliver. An electrician may need to bump the transformer, so factor that cost in. Live view and talk are free; saved video is about $5 a month for a one-device plan, stored online.

Does Memphis wiring and Wi-Fi change which doorbell I should buy?

Often, yes. Around Memphis, the house matters as much as the camera. An older Midtown porch and a newer Collierville entryway can have very different wiring and Wi-Fi coverage. Step outside and check the signal at the door. Have the existing doorbell power checked, too—an old bell that still rings may still need a transformer upgrade for a camera. An electrician can handle that part. If Wi-Fi is weak, ask about a model that uses a network cable for both power and connection.

Common questions about video doorbells in Memphis

Do I need a monthly subscription?

It depends on the brand. Eufy can store clips without a required plan. Ring lets you watch live for free, but looking back at saved video usually needs a small monthly plan. Alarm.com is typically tied to a provider service plan—ask for the full monthly number before you buy.

Will my existing doorbell wiring work?

Not always. Many Memphis homes still have transformers sized for a simple chime, not a camera. Ring’s wired 4K Pro, for example, often wants 16–24 VAC. Have the voltage checked before you order, especially on older Midtown and East Memphis porches.

Is DIY or professional install better?

Eufy is usually a DIY path—you own the setup and the troubleshooting. Alarm.com installs are typically handled through your security company, which helps when you want one app for alarm, locks, and video. Ring can go either way, but voltage upgrades are electrician work either way.

What should I check before I call the install finished?

• The view includes where packages actually land on your porch
• App alerts work the way your household will use them
• Good locks and porch lighting are still part of the plan
