Not everyone needs a home surveillance doorbell camera that does it all. If you’re only looking for a decent-quality video on a simple doorbell, you can find inexpensive models that work well enough. For budget-minded shoppers, look to spend about $50-$100. Most doorbell cameras under $100 must be connected to existing doorbell wires. If you don’t mind a little wire cutting and twisting, you can find a great camera that will last longer than a year or two.
