Advantages of Installing a Video Doorbell
While they don’t match the level of security offered by full video surveillance systems, video doorbells make excellent supplementary units that can add tremendous value to your everyday way of life. Some of their advantages include:
- Deterring burglars and thieves
- Allowing you to screen visitors without ever having to open the door
- Keeping an eye on your children or pets playing outside
- Adding value to your home
- Seeing if your packages arrived
Screen Your Door for Strangers
Most times, you’ll be expecting the people who come up to ring your doorbell. At the very least, you’ll likely know them even if you didn’t invite them. However, sometimes strangers do appear at the doorstep.
It could be a fundraiser or a political campaign, but it never hurts to err on the side of caution. Video doorbell cameras allow you to get a good look at strangers before you open the door and record video whe motion is detected, which can help with peace of mind.
Know Who’s at Your Door
If people at your door don’t look affiliated with any business or entity, it’s a good time to be suspicious. You can safely communicate with these individuals through Ring doorbell’s two-way talk system, which allows you to ascertain their motives from the safety of your living room.
Never Miss a Visitor
Mobile connectivity allows you to communicate with people who ring your doorbell, even when you’re not home. It’s a convenient way to talk to a friend who was looking for you or a delivery person who was dropping off your package. With Ring’s 24-hour cloud video recording service, you’ll also have constant access to footage showing unexpected visitors who didn’t bother to ring. You’ll also receive motion alerts whenever your device detects movement.
