Your front door is often a target for unwanted visitors, from solicitors to burglars. According to the FBI, 71.6 percent of burglaries happened at residences in 2015. There's also been an uptick in the cost of property loss due to burglaries. From 1994 to 2011, property loss increased by 56 percent, from an average of $389 in 1994 to $2,120 in 2011, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Moreover, 70 percent of burglars access homes via doors. Thus, securing your front door is crucial. Smart video doorbells provide a solution these issues and offer valuable security benefits and convenience you can leverage.

Here are some benefits worth noting:

Security Benefits

Cloud Recording. When you use smart video doorbells, you can leverage cloud recording capabilities. You'll be able to record and access your content from anywhere. That's because the video content is stored on secure web servers in the cloud.

Package Delivery. You can also monitor when a package is delivered to your home even when you're not there any time of the day. That way you can determine if the doorbell ring was from a courier or from a crook.

Visitor Monitoring. You don't have to wonder who is at your front door when the bell rings. Smart video doorbells provide you with viewing capabilities so that you can monitor visitors.

Smart Video Doorbells Provide Convenience

There are a number of convenient factors with using smart video doorbells. You can communicate to visitors or solicitors without even being home. Smart video doorbells also make it easy to change the sound of the doorbell by giving you control over the doorbell tone. That way you can turn off the doorbell tone so it doesn't disturb you when sleeping (or children, pets or anyone sensitive to sudden noises). You can also use smart video doorbells to disarm or unlock your connected security system, thanks to a convenient app on your mobile phone.
