In addition to added security, you can have visual confirmation of visitors and packages that approach your entryway delivered straight to your phone or tablet with a video doorbell. Plus, many smart video doorbells feature an app where you can post videos and see recordings from neighbors. This is particularly useful when pets get lost, but is also ideal if you just want to stay more involved with your community.
When you pair a smart video doorbell with a smart lock, you can also let pet sitters, cleaners and other trusted visitors enter your home while you’re away. Confirm who is at the door via your video doorbell and then allow them access via your smart lock. With many Wi-Fi doorbell models, you can even verbally communicate with delivery people and unexpected guests, as long as you have a smart doorbell with built-in speakers.
By empowering homeowners with an extra layer of security, real-time monitoring, motion detection, two-way communication and video recording, the perks of having a smart doorbell extend beyond convenience and peace of mind.
