Installing a wireless doorbell as a part of your home security system increases your home's safety when you are away from home. When a visitor rings the bell, ADT alerts you by email or text message. Integrate the doorbell with Z-Wave lights for automatic illumination of your entry area to deter possible threats. This technology gives you information and peace of mind during short trips and longer times away.

Fast Alerts When Visitors Arrive

With a wireless doorbell, ADT sends a text message or email automatically each time the bell is triggered. Monitor your doorbell from your smart phone or other mobile device, and head home when packages or guests arrive early. Call expected guests when you receive an alert to let them know you are on your way. If an alert is not expected, head home early to check out what the situation is. If you are on a longer trip, your doorbell alert allows you to ask a neighbor or your security company to check to make sure everything is all right.

Doorbell Controlled Lighting

Integrate your wireless doorbell with your lights for further security benefits. Set up the doorbell to trigger entryway lighting or a landscape spotlight to scare potential intruders away. Have the doorbell trigger an inside light to give the illusion that someone is home, since burglars prefer dark areas for stealth. A wireless doorbell allows you to turn the lights on only when necessary for both security and energy-saving benefits.

Versatility

In addition to security benefits when you are away from home, the best wireless doorbell systems also provide convenience when you are at home. Rely on text message alerts or a connected blinking light to announce visitors when you are at a distance from the doorbell chime or in a noisy environment. Triggered entry lights let you easily view guests and increase their comfort without keeping a light on all the time.

Reliability

Wireless doorbells do not require new wiring for installation. Convenient battery operation includes a low-battery indicator light to make sure your doorbell always operates properly. If you prefer, choose optional low-voltage wiring to keep it on at all times with no battery replacement necessary. ADT provides same-day or next-day service installation so you can get your security components up and running quickly. Wireless doorbells also include a selection of chimes, long distance coverage and easy integration with other home automation scene and rule configurations.

A wireless doorbell adds an extra dimension to your home security system. Always know when someone is at your door with immediate text or email alerts whenever the bell is rung. Connect the device to other home automation components for customized, controlled lighting for further security and convenience.
