from the good-deals-on-cool-stuff dept
See who is at your front door, even when you’re not at home, with the Skybell Wi-Fi Doorbell, available for 25% off ($149) in the deals store. The Skybell connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network to alert you on your phone when anyone is at the door. It has a built-in microphone and speaker so you can talk with whoever is there. The camera senses when someone is present even if they do not press the bell, or you can turn on the camera from your phone and watch who passes by your door with on-demand viewing, even at night. The app works with iOS 4 and later and Android 4.1 and later devices, and the Skybell attaches to your wired, mechanical chimes.

Is this a deal? It looks like Amazon is selling the same product for the same price, with assuredly faster shipping.
This is the stupidest idea ever … criminal walks to door sees camera … knocks on door to see if anyone home (door cam is a trap , because commercials) .. proceeds to break in because no one answers.

As someone who lives in an old, multi-story house, with a quiet doorbell that can’t be heard from any but the ground floor, I’ll say that this idea is intriguing.

Wireless doorbells have been available for many years now. Check you local home improvement store for a large selection.

A regular doorbell won’t give you a nice snapshot of the person who just broke into your house?
