Security doorbells, also known as video doorbells, add convenience as well as security to your home. When used as part of your home security system, a security doorbell functions as a smart home device designed to allow you to monitor visitors and other activities outside your door. Motion detection initiates real-time alerts to your phone or other device so you can see, hear, and speak with your visitors even if they don’t ring the bell. In addition, your security doorbell will record footage of anyone who is within range of the camera. 

Motion detection initiates real-time alerts to your phone or other device so you can see, hear, and speak with your visitors from anywhere.

And don’t worry, there are different options and settings in security doorbells that allow you to specify what you receive alerts for. For instance you can ignore animals or cars driving by. Also, you can program your doorbell to recognize familiar faces and then let you know that specific person is here. With the addition of smart locks, you can even allow visitors entry to your home right from your doorbell app.

There are many reasons a security doorbell from alarm.com installed by Sundance is a smart addition to your home security system. Most obviously, you can greet guests at your door from anywhere – not only anywhere in your home – but quite literally anywhere in the world! From a safety standpoint, a security doorbell makes it easy to seem like you are home, even when you’re not. You can speak directly to anyone outside your home as though you are inside and simply not willing or able to come to the door. This in turn makes it less likely that break-ins or burglaries will occur and can also be a preventive measure for package theft.
