Video Doorbell

A video doorbell is combination doorbell and security camera. A video doorbell works by sending alerts to your phone and giving you access to a live video to see who’s ringing the bell. Most models include a microphone and speaker that allow you to talk with the visitor. Some models allow you to remotely unlock the door if you want the visitor to come in.

While video doorbells are great for visitors, they suck at keeping out burglars. How many burglars are going to ring the doorbell? Most will be attempting to sneak in the back room where they’re unseen and not standing on the front steps asking to come in. The appeal of video doorbells is convenience, not home security.

It’s easy to see why you might be tempted to get a video doorbell. These compact streaming cameras let you video-chat with visitors and keep an eye on packages being delivered. These devices are proving to be quite popular. The number of video doorbells sold per year in the United States. is estimated to top 5 million units in 2022, according to Parks Associates and Statista.
