The first thing you want to know about a doorbell camera is what it actually does. It’s almost as simple as it sounds. It’s a doorbell that is also a camera, meaning people will ring the doorbell and subsequently be standing in front of a doorbell that has the capacity to record them and detect when they are at the door.
The doorbell camera connects to the internet through wifi. When the person at the door rings the bell, the doorbell camera will automatically send a notification to your cell phone and let you know someone is at the door. If the person does not ring the doorbell, the doorbell camera will still alert you because it will be able to sense the person is there through motion detection.
The doorbell camera has the ability to record and store video which you can use if it becomes necessary.
