Speaking of motion, LifeShield claims that the doorbell can distinguish between people and other objects to help reduce the number of false alerts. The doorbell doesn't offer facial recognition though, which has recently started to emerge as an advanced, higher-end feature on some products like these. Personally, I don't think I'd miss it -- outward-facing facial recognition tech at your door can start to approach some thorny territory with regards to privacy, as Ring recently discovered.

LifeShield charges users $5 a month to view the past 30 days' worth of motion-activated video clips, or $10 a month for 60 days' worth. That fee covers all of the cameras in your LifeShield setup. If you don't want to pay, you can still view the doorbell's live video feed for free.
