More front doors in your neighborhood will soon sport video doorbells as more homeowners and renters seek the security of 24/7 surveillance. An camera to help with outdoor security in your home, and users can tap into live HD video from anywhere. The latest devices feature a wider field of view, vivid night vision and prerecorded messages for visitors. A big selling point: Spotting package thieves.
In fact, sales of web-connected cameras of all types are going gangbusters.Global unit sales of cameras to consumers will surge by 20% yearly through 2023.That year, total revenue is projected to hit nearly $13 billion, much of it in the U.S.
Video doorbell vendors include Ring, Skybell, Google, Vivint, Eufy, Zmodo. Many models cost over $100. Users can see more archived video for a monthly fee.
Strong sales of smart-home cameras will spur sales of other smart devices for the home, since cameras are often the entry point to a more-connected residence.

More-complex systems will require expertise.
