The one and only: Yobi B3 Video Doorbell

Staff Favorite

Yobi's B3 Video Doorbell has the distinction of being the only HomeKit option currently available in North America. This wired doorbell features 1080p high-resolution video with a wide-angle, 180-degree Fresnel lens, two-way audio, and pairs directly to the Home app without an account or separate app. In our review, we found it featured fantastic reliability and lightning-fast response times, but it comes with some significant caveats: It does not record video nor does it support HomeKit Secure Video.
