Kangaroo's smart doorbell proves you get what you pay for

When motion is detected, the Kangaroo Doorbell Camera captures images, creating a two-second GIF-style clip that's delivered quickly to your phone. Instead of capturing videos, the doorbell stitches together GIF-like images when motion is detected or the doorbell is pressed. While Kanagroo's doorbell comes with basic features like motion detection, smart alerts, and night vision it lacks two very common smart doorbell functions: two-way talk and live video. For those reasons, comparing Kangaroo's doorbell to other smart doorbells is a bit like comparing apples to oranges, as it's designed to be a simple smart doorbell with limited features. It's still worth noting that the 70-degree field of view is narrow when compared to the 160-degree angles of other top doorbells we've tested from Nest and Eufy.
