Product Information

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! What we like most about the Secrui Wireless Doorbell is its fast, simple setup. The installation and pairing process doesn’t even require directions. The biggest decision may be selecting from the 52 chimes available for the doorbell. The plug-in receiver offers five volume levels, with its loudest setting at 120 decibels. A mute mode also silences the audible chime on the receiver, but an LED light illuminates to let you know when the doorbell is activated.

This wireless doorbell without a camera has up to three years of battery life with the included CR2032 battery. The ABS plastic housing is sturdy, but take note that the doorbell carries an IP55 weather rating; it’s water-resistant but not waterproof. For the longest lifespan, you’ll want to install it in a location that is shielded from heavy precipitation. Aside from smart features, we also recommend this wireless doorbell because of its impressive field of view (FoV). Narcotta points out that most mass market doorbells have a FoV of about 130 degrees to 140 degrees. However, what the camera is able to capture has improved significantly in the last few years. “Many models that have hit the market since 2021 feature [a] FoV of 160 degrees or more.” That’s true of the Ring 4, which has a 160-degree horizontal FoV and an 84-degree vertical FoV. This means you can see more of what is happening on your porch, driveway, or yard when compared to more basic versions of video doorbells. Combined with Ring’s video pre-rolls, which capture motion even before a motion alert is activated, you’ll get a more complete picture of activity outside your home. A: You could, but there are several kinds of receiver so it's a question of personal choice. Some are small and very portable. Some have chime units like traditional wired doorbells, designed to be hung on a wall. Others come with two or more receivers, so you can place them wherever is most convenient.What can be confusing is the functionality. To clarify things we're looking at the following areas: 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. The point of a wireless doorbell is to free you from the usual power source requirements and installation steps associated with a conventional push-button doorbell. Instead of being hardwired to your home’s electrical system, most wireless doorbells rely on batteries, although the type varies widely. Another perk of this wireless doorbell is the fact that it requires no batteries. Instead, the device is designed to generate energy each time you push the button, eliminating the need for typical power supply sources. Inside the home, the doorbell receiver does need to be plugged into an outlet. But, the design features an outlet extender that means it can still be used for things like a phone charger, lamp, or other household devices. Just take note that the receiver of the doorbell outlet has a maximum power load of 1,100 watts, so it’s not intended to be used for high-wattage appliances like an electric kettle or a toaster.

Since wireless doorbells don’t hardwire to your home’s electrical system, they’re not going to ring an existing doorbell chime inside your home. Instead, wireless doorbell kits include a receiver that is intended to be used inside your home. The receiver serves as a doorbell chime when someone pushes the button of the doorbell. 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. This article was written by Erica Puisis, a freelance writer with expertise in researching and testing the latest in home products and appliances. To find the best options for wireless doorbells, she researched the most popular models based on installation requirements, chime settings, and additional features that make the doorbell more convenient or easier to use. Our recommendations include both standard wireless doorbells and smart wireless doorbells that require a Wi-Fi connection.Most wireless doorbell kits include a push-button doorbell and a single receiver that plugs into an outlet near the front door. For smaller homes, this arrangement may work well, but to be sure that you never miss a visitor, you may want to consider a wireless doorbell with multiple receivers, like this version from Avantek. It offers up to 1,300 feet of range with two plug-in receivers that can be installed in different areas of your home. That being said, you'll find it convenient to be notified of doorbell activity on your smartphone using the Blink Home Monitor app. According to Narcotta, “A good app experience will make powering up, configuring, and using the doorbell significantly easier.” When citing examples of wireless doorbells with a robust and user-friendly interface, Blink makes the list, alongside other popular brands of doorbell cameras like Ring and Wyze. In the case of the Blink app, you can preview who is at the door, or engage the two-way audio feature to give instructions to delivery drivers. Just keep in mind that without a Blink Sync Module, you won’t be able to engage two-way audio on demand—it’s only available in response to a motion event. Doorbells fitted with video surveillance almost certainly require a low-voltage feed that connects to your household supply. Should you need to do that, it's important to change both doorbell and the receivers, so they still “talk” to each other.
