A video smart lock puts a doorbell camera in the lock. That saves wiring and one device by the door.

## Trade-offs

- **Battery life:** a camera drains faster than a lock alone.
- **View angle:** the camera sits lower than a normal doorbell.
- **Separate devices** can be better if you already have a doorbell.
