Technology is churning along at the speed of light, these days, making our daily lives (and our multi-tasking) easier. Door chimes are certainly no exception to the tech revolution. There are many advanced doorbell features with sleek modern or ornate vintage appearance, now found in the traditional wired doorbell. In addition, today’s modern wireless doorbells offer more convenience, security and advanced, built-in, customization features than ever before.
Wi-Fi Doorbell Technology
One major innovation as more and more of our lives are connected via computer technology – is wi-fi. What wi-fi means to the doorbell concept is that you no longer even need to be at home to answer your doorbell. That’s right. It was bound to happen! Some of you may remember those days when you actually had to go home to listen to your messages – on a machine with a cassette inside. Yes, there was a time before voicemail. Well, today, smart video doorbells can connect to your smartphone via wi-fi – and allow you to hear and talk to visitors at your front door (or back door) whether you’re at home – or in another zip code completely.
The wi-fi doorbell technology can also be combined with motion sensing doorbells – so that even if the UPS guy (or gal) decides not to ring the doorbell, you will know they are there! Video doorbell capability is also part of the package for many wi-fi door alarms and doorbells – so you can not only hear someone at the door but see them, too, while you talk with them. It’s the next best thing to being there – and in many cases it might be better than being there. This modern doorbell technology is like being in two places at once!
Longer and Longer Range Doorbells
Another convenience that technology has brought is the ability to extend the range of the doorbell if your property is large or if you need to hear outdoors. Purchase a doorbell with an impressive range of 2500 feet – and you can even add additional range with a battery powered or plugin doorbell extender. There are many types of extenders compatible with different types of doorbells and 1800Doorbell offers a wide selection.
Programmable Doorbells

Some homes and businesses need more than just a doorbell. Some need the iVision intercom doorbell. They need to communicate with whoever is at the door. The two-way intercom doorbell is an excellent security and convenience feature.
If you have a large home and need time to get to the door, you can let the visitor know you are on your way. Without the intercom, you could end up listening to the bell being pressed over and over again – as you rush to make your way to the door. If you, the kids or an elderly grandparent are home alone, an intercom doorbell can give you the chance to find out who is on the other side of your door – providing you peace of mind and increased safety. Intercoms also make it simpler to get rid of unwelcome visitors or sales people. It can be hard to dislodge persistent sellers once you have opened the door – but with the doorbell intercom it’s less personal. And you don’t even need to walk over to the door.
If you accept deliveries for your business, just install a handy intercom doorbell – and you don’t need an extra employee to cover the delivery entrance. You can use your intercom to communicate with the delivery person. Depending on the type of business: retail, factory, warehouse, restaurant or other, you will find a multitude of uses for your intercom doorbell.
