the 199 dollar doorbell can Pro is august's new-and-improved smart buzzer relying exclusively on a wired connection for power the doorbell can Pro has a high-definition live video feed motion detection a two-way intercom and compatibility with nest and Amazon Alexa devices Alexa show me the front door while this doorbell does look a lot like its predecessor it actually adds in an integrated floodlight to assist in low-light conditions so while it doesn't technically have night vision you can use the app to adjust the light to low medium or high to help when it's dark out you can also pair an august smart lock or smartlock pro to your doorbell cam pro if you want to unlock the door directly from the apps live video screen even though the doorbell cam pro delivers crisp HD video prompt motion alerts and works well with the manufacturers other products and third-party partners august's early lead when it comes to features is now gone ring in particular has caught up to August by adding live streaming and a lower-priced cloud storage service August still charges $5 per month whereas a ring subscription costs just $3.00 monthly and skybell continues to offer free cloud storage don't get me wrong the doorbell cam Pro is still a very good option particularly if you've already invested in other August devices but rings skybell and an upcoming smart doorbell from nest make the doorbell cam pro less of a slam dunk
