"Signify is using both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi options on the Hue doorbell, as well as a Zigbee radio to pair with Hue lights. You can configure the Hue doorbell to automatically turn on other Hue lights when someone approaches your front door, and it also comes with a plug-in chime that can act as a siren for the Hue security system. The chime is also a requirement as the Hue doorbell won't work with any existing doorbell chime."
"The Hue doorbell itself has a 2K image sensor with a fish-eye lens and a square aspect ratio. That's better than the resolution available on Google's Nest doorbells or even Blink's buzzer, but it's right in line with TP-Link's Tapo D225 and Ring's popular battery doorbell plus. Google is also rumored to be launching a 2K video doorbell next month."
The Hue Secure video doorbell is a wired device shipping in October for $169 to complement existing Hue Secure indoor and outdoor cameras. The doorbell includes 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi‑Fi plus a Zigbee radio for Hue light pairing and can trigger Hue lights when someone approaches. The package includes a plug-in chime that also functions as a siren for the Hue security system and is required for operation, as the doorbell will not work with existing chimes. The camera uses a 2K image sensor with a fish-eye lens and square aspect ratio, matching other 2K competitors. The doorbell supports Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, motion and package alerts, two-way talk, and free 24‑hour motion-activated video clips.
