Reasons to Consider a Ring Doorbell

01 Nov Reasons to Consider a Ring Doorbell

Kingsport, TN

Ever hurried out of your house and then been uncertain whether you locked your door? What if you could check, and lock it, with a push of a couple of buttons on your smartphone? A Ring doorbell makes it possible. This video doorbell technology is varied, convenient and can help you complete a variety of tasks related to security for your home or business. Checking the lock, and triggering it, is just the tip of the iceberg. That’s why, today on the blog, your Ring pro installers in Kingsport at Thompson Electrical Service will take you through some of the reasons you should consider getting a Ring doorbell.

You can answer your door from anywhere

When someone rings your doorbell, it chimes inside your home. When someone rings a Ring doorbell, it chimes inside your home while also sending a notification to the Ring app on your phone. When you open the notification, it displays a live video stream of the person at your door. You also can converse with the visitor through a speaker and microphone that are part of your Ring doorbell. You have this functionality no matter where you are, as long as you have access to your data network or wi-fi.

You can oversee package deliveries

We have all heard stories and seen viral social media posts of people stealing packages off of porches and doorsteps. With a Ring doorbell, when you receive a package, the delivery driver rings the bell and you can give them instructions to leave the package wherever you want. You can even unlock your front door with the app and then lock up again once the package is safely inside your home. You can have a friend or family member come and perform this same task if you are not comfortable with the driver being inside your home.

Prevent crime in your neighborhood or at your home

Your Ring doorbell is also motion sensitive. Once it identifies someone, the motion triggers your smart doorbell to begin recording video while sending you an alert. You can even set your doorbell to automatically turn on outside lights in reaction to motion. If there is a suspicious person on your property, you can download the video clip and share it with the proper authorities. In many cases, just having a video doorbell installed serves as a deterrent to any criminals casing the neighborhood.

It is customizable

We have mentioned a few of the modifications you can make to a Ring doorbell. You can tie it to outdoor lights, or change the tone of the chime. Installing a wedge kit allows you to angle the doorbell camera down an additional five degrees. You can even trigger a do not disturb mode, which deactivates the chime but sends a text alert if someone rings the bell – perfect if you have a baby or very young child in the house or if you just want to be able to take an uninterrupted nap yourself.
