- Never open your door to an unseen stranger again! Use your video doorbell to see who’s outside your door on your smartphone, all while capturing incidents and potential exchanges in high-definition video for later review, if need be.
Did you know someone is home during nearly three out of every 10 burglaries in the United States? A U.S. Department of Justice crime victimization survey revealed a household member is present during approximately 28 percent of burglaries, and 7 percent of these victims experienced some type of violent crime as a result. So, be sure to arm your security system even when you’re at home. Citywide Alarms’ video doorbell integrates to our other smart home products, providing a complete home automation platform.
Our specialists are happy to demonstrate how to audibly communicate through a new video doorbell with those on the outside without opening a door, even if you need to interact from a remote location. This is an especially wonderful peace-of-mind safety feature for anyone home alone or when a visitor seems suspicious.
Saved images from the video doorbell can help law enforcement officials should an incident occur.
- Set up motion sensor alerts so that the video doorbell sends you notifications when someone is in front of your door, even if they don’t press the button. It’s a reliable way to stay connected with what’s happening at your residence when you simply can’t be there physically.
Our smart WiFi-based doorbell allows customers to answer their door from anywhere in the world. Another advantage is that multiple users can receive the alerts, and customers can have multiple mobile devices on each account.
The camera function of video doorbells also warns burglars that an alarm and security system is in place, acting as a deterrent to crime. This can be especially helpful now that packages routinely are delivered to people’s homes and left unattended on the front stoop or porch.
Moreover, you can review the video doorbell’s activity history to see any missed actions.
- Use on-demand monitoring from the video doorbell to keep an eye on your front door at any time with the “Watch Live” feature. It can all be controlled remotely, and images saved into a cloud database so they can downloaded or watched at any time.
Because police tell us the majority of break-ins are committed by burglars who live nearby — the typical thief resides within 2 miles of target homes — this monitoring can be crucial in determining if someone is dropping by your home frequently. Prowlers “casing” your residence may be trying to learn your family’s daily schedule so they can strike when they know you’re not home. They also may be checking for signs of when you’re traveling for business or when you’re on vacation, such newspapers piling up at your door, a lawn not mowed, or trash cans left at the curb. Get a jump on exactly who may be overly interested in your daily activities.
- Leverage a video doorbell’s full-color night vision to feel safer knowing you can see visitors at night in complete, detailed color. Our video doorbell captures high-resolution footage of anyone near your home’s entrance. This is helpful when expecting evening guests or trying to identify the cause of a nighttime disturbance.
Our customers can even customize their video doorbell’s color with an ambient accent lighting that visitors can better see at night.
- Increase your home’s value. The “Quiet Home Mode” of our video doorbells also allows customers to turn off their home’s doorbell chime directly from the app and only receive notifications on their mobile devices, which comes in handy for sleeping babies, resting dogs, students who are studying or sleep time.
Coldwell Banker research shows that buyers are showing more interest in smart homes, specifically security and safety technologies. Homes enabled with smart technology close faster than those without it. Therefore, in addition to current safety benefits, cameras may also pay off should your family decide to move.
