Doorbell cameras are a fantastic addition to any home security system. Whether you’re trying to deter porch pirates, you live at home with limited mobility, or you want more peace of mind– 360 Alarm Grand Prairie has your back. Just so you know fully understand your residential security options, we’ve created a comprehensive guide so you don’t have to search the corners of the internet to find credible information about the device you’re considering to protect your property!
Do I Need An Existing Doorbell To Install A Doorbell Camera?
Yes, you will need an existing doorbell with a minimum of 11 volts ac. Doorbell cameras are not compatible with wireless doorbells systems because the doorbell camera connects to the existing wiring. This maximizes security and provides better results than wireless doorbell cameras.
What Do Smart Doorbells Do?
360 Alarm’s doorbell cameras do a lot more than just chime. With our motion sensor technology and state-of-the-art security systems, you’ll receive push notifications when someone arrives on your doorstep, delivers your takeout, or attempts to steal packages. These doorbells are also great because they offer two-way communication so you can talk to anyone at your door without getting out off of your sofa.
How Will I Know Someone Is At My Door?
A lot of people think this is a silly question (even though it’s not). That’s why we’re putting our answer here so you don’t even have to ask in person! While some doorbell alarm systems can sync with your traditional doorbell, we understand that our clients want to know that someone is on their property even if they don’t ring.
That’s why we set our clients up with an alarm app so when the doorbell camera detects someone loitering on your property, you’ll get a push notification alerting you.
Will The Weather Affect My Coverage?
In most cases? No. We know that Texas’ weather is all over the place which is why we only use durable security technology that keeps your family safe throughout turbulent storms and fair weather. Even if you lose power your doorbell camera will continue to work for hours.
Will My Doorbell Camera Record All Of The Time?
Nope! That would be soo expensive, and we like to provide the most efficient home security solutions without breaking the bank. So how do we make sure you’re getting maximum coverage at the right moments? Well, we typically install motion-activated doorbell cameras. They start recording the moment the ultra-sensitive sensors detect movement and don’t stop until they leave. Some benefits of this system are that you can see what direction any intruders came from and you can potentially scare them off by alerting them through the intercom that the police are en route.
Do All Doorbell Cameras Have A Two-Way Intercom?
No, but if that’s important to you, 360 Alarm’s security installers will set you up with a system that suits your needs. However, most doorbell cameras will record audio along with video once it detects motion.
How Far Can My Doorbell Camera See?
This depends entirely on which model you select. Doorbell cameras can see anywhere from 5 to 50 feet away. Another question you might not have thought to ask is what’s this camera’s field of view. If you want whole yard coverage, talk to 360 Alarm about installing a doorbell camera with a wide field of view.
Will My Smart Doorbell Be Able To See At Night?
Yes! No worries here. Your doorbell will still perform beautifully at night because your motion sensors will still work. You’ll also be able to view any intruders on your camera although you might not be able to see quite as far.
