Porch Pirates & 4 More Reasons You Need a Doorbell Camera
Your front doorway is a busy place. It’s no wonder that doorbell cameras are now a smart home must-have, thanks to their ability to show you who’s at the door, no matter where you are.
Because our touchless doorbell cameras can be fully integrated into your smart home security system, they’re able to work with other devices in your home and your mobile phone. That gives you and your family more ways to incorporate your doorbell camera into your everyday life.
Answer the door from anywhere
A doorbell camera gives you a safe, smart way to see who is at the door, no matter where you are. When a visitor rings the doorbell, you get a notification on your phone. Your smart doorbell’s camera will transmit a live video feed of who’s at your front door. You’ll also be able to chat with them through the app.
Although you can see your visitor, they can’t see you, and you don’t need to indicate whether you’re home or not. Given that burglars often ring a home’s doorbell as a precaution, this makes your video doorbell a great crime deterrent.
Protect a package from porch pirates
Your doorbell camera is automatically activated when someone approaches your home, before they even ring your doorbell. You’ll be notified when it has been activated and be able to see when your packages are delivered. That way you can ensure that your precious deliveries do not sit too long on your front porch where potential thieves can spot them.
Adding a smart lock to your home security system you can go a step further and unlock your door remotely. This allows deliveries to be secured inside of your front door.
See and share suspicious activity
A video doorbell is also a full smart home security camera, ready to capture and send you footage of suspicious activity in your front yard or porch area. This is helpful to identify thieves or help you verify a package has been delivered.
A visitor to your porch will trigger a motion-activated video recording, even if they don’t press the doorbell. You can have these clips delivered to your phone right away, where they’re easy to download and forward to your partner, neighbors or local police department.
Know when your loved ones get home safe
Porch pirates and trespassers aside, most activity at your front door is good: friends visiting, delivery drivers, family coming home.
Create a custom doorbell camera alert, triggered by your kids’ Alarm.com user codes, that sends you a video clip of your kids arriving home every day. It’s a great way to make sure they’re home safe and know who they’re with. Once your kids know they’re on camera, they might even give you a wave.
Oh, it’s also a doorbell
Sometimes, you just need a doorbell. Our doorbell camera goes above and beyond, with both an audible chime and a special ‘Do Not Disturb’ option that parents of young children will love. Instead of waking a napping youngster with an audible chime when pushed, your video doorbell will simply trigger a silent smartphone alert that only disturbs you.
