Product Information

Some wireless doorbells are criticised for letting in damp and giving “phantom” rings. A regular light spray with a moisture repellant lubricant can often solve the problem. The signal range from the wireless doorbell to the battery-operated receiver is 450 feet. While it’s passable, we wish the range was greater so that the portable design of the receiver could be utilized more fully. Locations far from the front door of your house (like a basement or upstairs bedroom) may be out of range from the receiver. Fortunately, you can turn the volume of the doorbell alert as high as 90 decibels, which should make it easier to hear the chime from any nearby location.

It offers up to 1,300 feet of range with two plug-in receivers that can be installed in different areas of your home.

In terms of installation, you will usually have two options: adhesive tape or an anchor and screws. Materials for both are usually included in the box with a wireless doorbell, although you may need to supply basic tools like a screwdriver if you opt to mount the doorbell using the supplied hardware. Homeowners or renters that don’t want to put holes in their home’s siding or trim might opt for using adhesive to mount a wireless doorbell, but in some cases, using hardware may result in a more secure mounting system and deter theft of the wireless doorbell. The cheapest wireless doorbells provide a push button for your wall or door post, and a chime for inside. Many, however, go far beyond that. The other option is to buy a wireless doorbell that calls your smartphone – then you'll know there's someone at the door wherever you are.Volume is another factor – especially if someone in the house has reduced hearing ability. Mostly it's adjustable, sometimes not. You may get a decibel rating, but not always. All manufacturers quote a range for their devices. With cheap wireless doorbells this can be as little as 24 to 30 metres. On premium models it can be 90 to 180 metres. Some offer even more range. There are few things more annoying than a doorbell chime you don't like. It can put you in a bad mood before you even see who your visitor is! Some wireless doorbells offer more than the standard chime to notify you of a visitor. Doorbells equipped with Wi-Fi can alert you via an app on your smart device that someone is standing at the front door, even if they never push the doorbell. The features vary based on the model of smart doorbell you choose, but often include motion alerts, HD video with night vision, two-way audio functionality, and more.
