Blurams Smart Video Doorbell sends automatic voice responses to ringers via A.I.

Smart doorbells make it easy to keep an eye on your home and respond to visitors whether you’re actually in the house or not, but Blurams wants to take this a step further. The new Blurams Smart Video Doorbell uses artificial intelligence (A.I.) facial recognition to provide automatic responses to visitors.

The video doorbell can recognize individual visitors and give customized, preset responses to each person. Think of it as your own personal doorman. A virtual butler, of sorts.

There’s an added benefit to the facial recognition: The Bluram Smart Video Doorbell can recognize you when you come to do the door and automatically turn on the lights in your home, start your favorite playlist, or even set a pot of coffee to brew. It does this through integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, but it can also work with IFTTT.

From a technical perspective, the Bluram Smart Video Doorbell competes with some of the higher-end doorbells on the market. It provides 1080p video streams straight to your mobile device and will send push notifications whenever the doorbell is pressed or the passive infrared sensor detects motion.

The two-way audio allows you to hold an actual conversation with the visitor if the automated responses aren’t sufficient. You also receive free lifetime cloud storage. The Bluram Smart Video Doorbell stores 72 hours of video data with no hidden fees. You’ll also receive a one-month trial for 15-day rolling storage with purchase.

The Bluram Smart Video Doorbell is a great choice for renters, too. It can be installed in no time at all thanks to 3M glue, but you can also use installation screws and hard wire it if you don’t want to deal with the rechargeable battery. If someone tries to remove the doorbell, it has its own siren and lights. It will alarm and flash red and blue if someone tries to forcibly remove it.

The Blurams Smart Video Doorbell is available now for $100 on Indiegogo, with an expected retail price of $150 after the campaign ends. If you’re interested in grabbing one for yourself, there are special offers for early adopters — but be aware of the risks with any crowdfunding campaign.

Check out these Ring video doorbell alternatives that don’t require a subscription

Ring is one of many companies that lock video doorbell features behind a monthly paywall. Unless you're forking out cash every month, you won't have full access to everything your device can offer. The brand also recently instituted a price hike -- and some shoppers are so frustrated that they've started looking elsewhere for their security needs.

If that's you, or if you'd like to find an easy way to cut down your spending this year, here's a look at four Ring alternatives that don't require a subscription. Some of these may offer optional subscriptions, but even if you don't pay, you'll have access to a wide range of features that aren't free on Ring.

Ring first started rolling out its Pro lineup in 2021, offering premium features with products such as the Stick Up Cam Pro, Floodlight Cam Pro, Spotlight Cam Pro, and Wired Doorbell Pro. Three years later, the team is still adding new products to the family, with Ring officially launching the Battery Doorbell Pro on March 6.

The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro features many of the same specs as its wired sibling. Capable of recording in 1536p HD+ and with support for Audio+ (allowing crisp two-way communication), it's one of the most premium video doorbells in the Ring catalog. Ring says the device features enhanced imaging sensors to provide more accurate colors and the ability to provide color night vision when the sun goes down.
