So what exactly is a doorbell camera?
A video doorbell camera is a high-tech device that utilizes your existing hard-wiring, chime and transformer. It replaces your existing doorbell button with a WiFi-enabled camera, microphone, speaker and doorbell style button in an all-in-one sleek device.
Once properly installed and configured, anytime a visitor rings your doorbell, any devices with app installed will display a live camera feed in real-time. You can choose to answer and speak with your visitor, decline the call discreetly or play a pre-recorded message (Zmodo only).
Doorbell Cameras offer the latest motion detection features with instant notification
Wouldn’t it be nice to know if someone is at your front desk lurking? Thanks to motion detection and instant app push alerts you can even be notified of visitors that don’t ring your doorbell. You can check to see if anyone is at your front door anytime with the live view option.
Night vision for dimly lit or completely dark porches with NO lights!
Visitors can be seen at night in total darkness as well thanks to the camera’s night vision. They deter crime and package theft as most criminals don’t want to be seen or recorded.
Alarm.com Skybell cameras offer advanced features such like in-app door unlock button!
Some doorbell cameras such as the Alarm.com Skybell camera can even remotely unlock a door while speaking with a visitor without ever leaving the app, thanks to an in-app unlock door button!
