Doorbells have come a long way in recent years. Like many devices, they now come equipped with an assortment of features that will boost your home’s safety, especially when you are not there. Below are five reasons to include doorbell upgrades in your home maintenance plan today.

What a New Doorbell Can Do for You

1. Video & Image Alerts

Doorbell upgrades now feature cameras that will capture images and even video whenever someone approaches your property. You can set alerts to either display images, whether or not the bell is pressed, or they can be linked to an audio signal alerting you that someone is at the door. They even feature LED lights for easy viewing at night, so you can capture guests or unwanted visitors at any time.

2. Motion Sensors

The features of your new doorbell can be connected to motion sensors on doors and windows that will let you know someone is near without their pressing the button. You can set the parameters of how far out you want movement detected, and visual and audio displays can be connected to every alert.

3. Delivery Surveillance

There have also been cases where the delivery personnel toss fragile boxes onto the porch, damaging the contents inside. Video-enabled doorbells will capture these incidents and help you recover lost or damaged property.

4. Remote Monitoring

You do not have to be home to answer your door with these home maintenance upgrades at your entryway. Doorbells now feature two-way communication; you can speak directly to the person at your entrance without having to be onsite. You can also politely decline solicitors without ever opening the door.

5. Wireless Setup

New doorbells on the market offer a complete wireless setup that runs on batteries, making it easier to position your bell in a centralized location. In addition, you can add more wireless features and even extend the range of the motion sensors and bells, which is particularly useful in larger homes and lots.
