A smart doorbell camera is a simple yet affordable measure to ensure your family and property’s safety. It enables you to either grant or deny access based on who is approaching your property. This innovative device lets you identify an intruder and also avoid door-to-door salespeople.
A doorbell camera provides a range of security and convenience benefits when you're home or at the office. Here are seven ways it can make a difference to your security system:
Deters criminal activity
A doorbell camera is installed in a visible place and acts as an excellent visual deterrent for potential criminals. When your house is equipped with visual safety measures, more than likely, they will pass your home. Potential criminals will think twice about committing a crime when they know the risk of getting caught.
Provides valuable video footage
Should the worst happen and your house gets broken into, you can use the video footage from your doorbell camera to provide valuable evidence for the police. Besides, the video footage will also act as documentary evidence to help you get the payout you deserve when filing an insurance claim.
Lowers home insurance premium
Various insurers offer discounts on premiums when homeowners have smart security equipment in their homes. The doorbell camera is a part of home security surveillance and will certainly reduce your premium costs.
Ensures secure deliveries
As online shopping is gaining popularity, the cases of homeowners having their packages stolen from their porches are also on the rise. A doorbell security camera will provide a visual record of the delivery and the delivery partner. In case someone steals it, you’ll have the visual record of that as well. It’s also extremely valuable information to counteract fraudulent delivery attempts.
Helps you screen visitors
An unexpected knock in the middle of the weekend by a salesperson can be frustrating. The feed from the doorbell security camera is connected to your smartphone, allowing you to find out about the person on your door. It enables you to avoid answering the door for uninvited guests.
Answers the door when you are away
One of the best features of a smart doorbell camera is that you can answer the front door even when you are at work or on vacation. You’ll receive an alert when someone presses the doorbell and talk to them through the two-way audio option. It’s beneficial when you have a family member or a friend visiting during your absence.
Keeps an eye on the kids and elderly
If you’ve kids that frequently play on the front porch or the elderly who go for evening walks, a doorbell camera will help you keep a close eye on them. You can ensure their safety even when you’re at the office or busy with a chore.
