Alarm Com Touchless Doorbell

// Editor's Choice


Alarm.com Video Doorbell Is Touchless

The Alarm.com touchless video doorbell rings without requiring any contact, eliminating the need to press a doorbell button. Anyone coming to the front door stands on a doormat placed at a safe distance to ring the chime. Rather than using motion detection common to other doorbell cameras, rapid and accurate person detection activates the doorbell to reduce unimportant interruptions. When a person is detected, the doorbell immediately triggers the existing chime in the home, sends a mobile alert to the homeowner and starts recording a video clip. Homeowners can see and speak with visitors through the doorbell’s live HD video and two-way audio instead of having to answer the door.

Com Net Converter
ComNet Converter Repels Cyber Attacks
