Our verdict
The Video Doorbell Pro is a cheap, subscription-free battery doorbell that owners rate highly (4.85/5 on AOSU’s own review page, a source we weigh carefully). Owners praise night video and stable connection; buyer guides note tinny audio, a short wake delay and 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi. We found no independent lab test, so treat this as a preview.

What is it?
The Video Doorbell Pro is AOSU’s battery-powered 2K doorbell. It comes with a small aosuBase Mini that plugs in indoors, stores clips locally and relays the doorbell’s signal. There is no required subscription.
It costs $95.99 on the official store (list $139.99).
A note on evidence
We could not find an independent lab review of this doorbell. This preview draws on owner reviews, AOSU’s community forum and buyer guides. AOSU’s own review page shows 4.85/5 from 102 reviews, but those reviews are collected by the brand, so we treat them carefully.
What owners report
- Video: owners on AOSU’s community forum praise night video and say the connection is stable. A Reddit user found video and audio better than expected.
- Alerts: some owners say motion alerts are quick; buyer guides mention a short delay while the doorbell wakes from sleep, typical of battery doorbells.
- Audio: several users describe the speaker as tinny.
- Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz only. The aosuBase Mini boosts the doorbell’s own connection, not your home Wi-Fi.
Smart home and subscription
It works with Alexa and Google Assistant (live view on Echo Show or Nest Hub), but not Apple HomeKit. The optional AosuProtect+ plan adds cloud storage and extra AI features; owners say it isn’t needed.
Who should not buy it
- Apple Home users.
- Anyone who wants 24/7 recording: battery doorbells record events only.
vs rivals
- vs Ring Battery Doorbell: better app ecosystem, but most features need Ring Protect.
- vs Eufy Video Doorbell (battery): similar no-fee model with HomeBase storage.
Final thoughts
For under $100 with no monthly fees, the Video Doorbell Pro is a sensible choice if you live in the Alexa or Google world. We will update this review when independent tests appear.
