How is recording for security?

I know the doorbells are for seeing when someone is calling, but I’m also wondering how it is for security as well. My door is about 1M away from where people walk past on the pavement. Will it trigger when someone walks past all the time? What I want suppose, or only when doorbell is pushed? I’d like to use it for security and calling feature. I’d imagine the battery would deplete quicker, but I’m ok with that for security feature. Happy to charge, or even buy a replacement battery for those times. Does anyone else use it for this purpose or purely as the doorbell callers (I bless there is security camera, but I have Blink camera as well). Is it programmable as it would probably get triggered off neighbour as well. Just looking at the sale there is a doorbell for £59 at moment. Thanks
