Is 2K or 4K video actually worth it on a doorbell?

Reviewer consensus

PCMag and CNET both note that 4K (as on the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro) genuinely helps with digital zoom and reading license plates or package labels, but the bandwidth and storage costs are higher. For most porches, reviewers agree 1080p–2K is plenty as long as the lens and HDR are good.
