The Aosu R1 Ultra is a great subscription-free video, albeit with some minor flaws
TechRadar Verdict Buying a video doorbell usually comes with a rental agreement to store useful footage in the cloud, but the Aosu R1 Ultra sales pitch is slightly different. Clips land on the included AosuBase Mini with an 8GB capacity and 60 days of loop recording where nothing vital is paywalled. Daylight video is sharp, and AI detection holds up, but there are some caveats.
