, visible and infrared light to enter the lens assembly 704. In some implementations, the camera opening or transparent area 712 has a size substantially larger than that of lenses of the lens assembly 704. By these means, the camera opening or transparent area 712 of the front cover plate 708 does not become a limiting factor for a margin of a field of view of the doorbell camera 106, and the size of the lens assembly 704 determines the field of view for the doorbell camera 106. Stated another way, the margin of the field of view is limited by physical features of the lens assembly 704, rather than by the camera opening or transparent area 712 of the front cover plate 708. Such a substantially large camera opening or transparent area 712 enables a substantially wide angle view for the doorbell camera 106 when a wide angle lens assembly is applied. In some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a substantially opaque area that is distinct from the substantially transparent area of the camera opening 712. An interior surface of the substantially opaque area is painted with dark color ink e. g. , black ink. The dark color ink could be transparent to infrared light, such that the substantially opaque area is opaque to visible light and transparent to infrared light. In an example, the interior surface of the front cover plate 708 is entirely covered by the ink except the button opening 710 exposing the button top 706 and the substantially transparent area 712 covering the lens assembly 704.

While it doesn’t offer true “HD” video capture at 1080p, the Zmodo offers just about every feature a smart doorbell shopper could want at a price that’s too good to pass up.

While the lack of a desktop app is disappointing, the RemoBell offers great value, four months of battery life, inexpensive storage options and a great installation process.
