Kangaroo has quickly become one of the go-to options for affordable home security with its easy DIY home security system and smart features. If you're considering Kangaroo for your doorbell camera, you might be wondering about the benefits of subscribing to our services. Kangaroo subscription unlocks several additional features that enhance the overall functionality of your security system. Let's take a look at the top 5 benefits of Kangaroo's doorbell subscription.

1. Enhanced Surveillance and Alerts

A Kangaroo doorbell camera subscription elevates your security with advanced features like:

  • Person Detection: Distinguish between humans and other motion triggers, reducing false alarms and ensuring you're only notified about relevant activity.

  • Full Event Capture: Record the entire event, not just a short clip, providing a comprehensive view of what happened.

  • Motion Detection Zones: Customize the areas where motion sensor triggers alerts, focusing on critical zones and minimizing false alarms from pets or passing traffic.


I actually like the ability to have my camera doorbell send me an image through Wi-Fi so I can see who is at my door I love this app very much and the ease-of-use to me this is more affordable than ring or any other doorbells with cameras at least that I'm aware of it right. The fact that in the beginning it can be free no payments with awesome that you can still use it however we have the option to upgrade it with a monthly payment which is also awesome, keep up the Great work kangaroo. - Michael, Kangaroo PlayStore Review


2. Two-Way Audio and Siren Control

Communicate with visitors at your door and deter potential intruders with these features:

  • Two-Way Audio: Speak to whoever is at your door through the Kangaroo app, whether you're at home or away.

  • 3 Custom Self-Recorded Siren Sounds: Personalize your alarm with unique siren sounds, adding a distinctive touch to your security system.


Pretty happy with the system, monitoring and the coverage. Camera's are effective and the app makes it easy to arm my home. Thanks Roo! - Anthony, Kangaroo PlayStore Review


3. Extended Cloud Storage and History

Keep a detailed record of events with extended cloud storage and activity history:

  • 30 Days of Cloud Storage: Store video recordings for up to 30 days, allowing you to review past events and download important footage.

  • 90-Day Activity History: Access a comprehensive log of activities for up to 90 days, providing valuable insights into your home's security.


The app is user friendly & responds well to the camera. It promptly sends alerts when activity is picked up, stores 30 days of video to the cloud, & it's easy to delete those that you don't need. Setup is a breeze-the chime plugs into any outlet & you choose the functions & sensitivity you want. I bought the doorbell cam with the chime when they 1st hit the market over a year ago & have never been disappointed. Compared to the higher priced security systems, I give it an A+ rating. - Sharon, Kangaroo PlayStore Review
