Before Dringbell, you had 3 bad choices: have no doorbell, have an analog one that can't keep up, or buy a €150 connected one that causes more problems than it solves.
Ring, Nest and Eufy run on battery. Recharge every 4 to 8 weeks by removing the device, and far more often in winter (cold cuts battery life in half). During the 5h charge, you have no doorbell.
⏱ ~12 recharges/yearDrill, level, wall plugs, wiring if it's a wired model, finicky wifi setup. Count on 1 to 3 hours, or an €80 handyman. And forget it if you're a renter: your landlord won't want holes in their render.
💰 +€80 for installationA visible €150-200 device screwed to the outside catches the eye. Removing it takes 30 seconds with a screwdriver. The statistics confirm it: thefts of connected doorbells have skyrocketed since 2022.
⚠ €150 up in smokeRing charges €4.99/month for 1 camera, €7.99/month for several. Without a subscription, your doorbell can't even record a video or notify you properly. Over 5 years: €480 in subscriptions alone.
💸 ~€60/year minimumThe mail carrier rings? Marie in a meeting, Thomas working from home and Emma asleep are all interrupted at the same time. None of the doorbells on the market can route a call to the right household member.
😩 Meetings interruptedIP55, IP65, IP67… No rating holds up over 10 years. The doorbell freezes in winter, overheats in summer, becomes obsolete after 3-4 years once the maker stops updates. You buy it all over again.
🔁 Replace it every 4 yearsAn honest comparison. No manufacturer is sponsored, the prices and specs come from independent tests published by Les Numériques, Expert Reviews and oneSmartcrib.

See your visitor on video without being seen. Privacy by design, GDPR article 25 compliant. A feature no physical doorbell can technically offer.
The visitor states their category before it even rings: mail carrier, courier, neighbor, family…
Each member receives their own calls. The mail carrier rings Marie, Léa's friend rings Emma. Never again 3 phones ringing at the same time.
Noise removal, message transcription, anti-solicitor detection. No audio ever leaves your phone. The polar opposite of Ring, which sends everything to Amazon's servers in the US.
The mobile app is free, subscriptions go through our website. You pay a fair price, not 30% more for Apple and Google.
From clicking "Get started" to receiving your first ring: under 5 minutes.
