Intercom Doorbells Help Stop Missing Deliveries
Most people today value their privacy. They keep their doors and gates locked to keep out solicitors and unwanted company. But in doing so, they sometimes miss that important package because most delivery drivers can’t get on their property. For those that want to get their packages without sacrificing their security, an intercom doorbell is the best choice for your home.
Using radio wave frequencies, these devices allow you to hear visitors from anywhere in your home. Most are easy to set up and require no tools or having to rewire your house and come with the option to have additional intercoms that can be placed in different areas of your household. This is very convenient if you spend time in your home office, in the basement, or are out in the backyard.
With doorbell intercoms, there is no more having to wait by the door for hours for deliveries and no more having to drop what you are doing to rush for the doorbell only to find an unwanted solicitor has ruined your dinner. Also, this handy device allows you to screen visitors without having to go to the gate to meet them.
There is an endless variety of options available in intercom doorbells and most depend on your budget and needs. The simplest systems cost below fifty dollars and are fine for small homes. These devices usually have a range of 500 feet, five channel bands and a stationary monitor that runs on an AC adapter with the doorbell running on 9-volt batteries. Most of these brands come with the options of having extra monitors so that you can respond from any room in the house.
For those that have bigger homes or need a system with more capability, there are doorbell intercoms that offer features like increased range and portable monitors. These devices can include infrared sensors, video monitoring, and batteries that last up to six months. Some of the more sophisticated models have a built-in feature that turns on your lamp and shakes your bed to alert you of visitors during the night and are extremely useful for those that are handicapped or hearing impaired.
Whether you want a simple alert system to complete video surveillance of your front door or gate, wireless intercom doorbells are perfect for those who value their privacy.
Driveway Doorbells
Ding-Dong! Driveway Doorbells let you know who is coming
Ever been sitting at home alone in the evening, reading a good book, and suddenly “BAM BAM BAM!” on your front door? You drop your book losing your place, and now your heart is racing like crazy. Surprise visits can be annoying, so you want an idea to keep them from happening? Driveway doorbells!
These little beauties are installed in your driveway using a motion sensor to detect when a vehicle pulls into your driveway. A light chime sounds throughout your house, letting you know that company is on its way to your door. Also, a long tube is placed across the entrance of your driveway that will sound only if enough weight is placed on it. And only a vehicle will have enough weight to set it off, so your new driveway doorbell won’t be sounding over every little thing that wanders into your driveway.
Some driveway doorbells come equipped with a light that is triggered when a vehicle pulls in and seems like it lights the way for your visitors, but what it is really doing is giving you a brighter view of exactly who is cruising up your driveway. Some models can be installed with a call box, so when the visitors pull in, they can call up to your house and announce their arrival in person, yet still giving you plenty of warning that they are coming.
If you are looking at a rather long or winding driveway, maybe a camera installation with your driveway doorbell is a good idea. It gives you not only proper warning that someone is on their way to your house, but it gives you a clear view of the vehicle as well. And some models will actually record the video, and this is a great criminal deterrent. The would-be criminal sees the video recorder, and is scared away. And if they are not, the video will have evidence of their presence, and can be used for an arrest.
Installing driveway doorbells is simple and quick. Many can be installed by the homeowner in one afternoon. The more complicated models can be purchased and then installed by a professional. The choice belongs to the homeowner. Whichever model that is chosen and no matter the method of installation, driveways doorbells are a great way to end surprise visits, and give you peace of mind when someone pulls into your drive. You will know they are coming, and can know who they are, even before they turn the car off and get out.
