Wouldn't be without our Ring.  We have the second version called Ring 2.  That being said, we had to up the wi-fi gb with our provider to provide enough coverage/strength for all our wireless devices once it was added.  We don't keep the data or wi-fi on, on our phones, so bought the Chime doorbell, which plugs into an outlet.  It was cheap--around $30.  When someone comes within range or rings the doorbell, the Chime goes off.  We can then talk to the person/see what is happening by connecting to wi-fi on our phones.  We pay for yearly storage, which is $30 (?) a year.  We hardwired ours in, but if you don't want to do that, all you have to do is use the battery option.  ETA:  you can also choose different sounds for presence notifications and doorbell notifications.  If someone (or a bird!...lol) comes onto our porch but doesn't ring the bell, we get one sound.  If someone then rings the doorbell, a second different sound is emitted.

We're getting one installed. It's a camera, with audio and motion sensors. You are notified when someone approaches your home. It can be set to sensing cars, people, and animals.
