A doorbell camera is basically a video intercom system that you can place at any door of your home or business and see who is at that door.
A doorbell camera can offer a greater sense of security and you can make the decision to open the door or to take security measures.
A unit is installed at the door with a camera on it and you monitor the video from inside.
When a visitor comes to the door and presses the call button, it will activate the doorbell camera. Personally, I like doorbell cameras that will record images and give a time and date stamp in case I ever need to refer back to it.
Some units are very sophisticated and will allow you to actually open the door remotely and let your visitor in.
Great Home Security
This particular unit I’m reviewing today has night vision which is automatic. This comes in very handy and is actually covert. Most of us do not burn a light at our doors all night long. Someone creeping up to my door has no idea that I can monitor their presence with night vision.
When someone pushes the call button, the camera is activated automatically and the door chime goes off.
Wireless Doorbell Camera
A great feature of this Honeywell VisioCam Wireless Video Door Chime Set is that it comes with a portable monitor that you can carry around with you. You can be in your back yard having a cookout and you can see anyone who rings your doorbell while you have the portable monitor. A second camera can be added to the system in case you think someone may tamper with the main unit. The prtable unit will allow you to view visitors at your door from up to 200′ away from the main unit.
Installation of a front door camera or any door for that matter is very easy and you do not have to be technically inclined.
This doorbell camera has a motion detector feature so you can still see someone at your door even if they do not push the call button.
Bottom line, to increase your home security, this is a great and inexpensive addition to your security system. If you have been looking for a doorbell camera and you don’t want to break your budget, there are may purchasing options for you.
