The next doorbell camera we will be taking a look at is ADT’s doorbell camera. Most consumers shopping around for home security products have probably heard of the name ADT. ADT does not only make security systems; they also make a wide range of video surveillance equipment. The ADT Doorbell Camera is a pretty great camera that will go perfectly with your ADT system.
This doorbell camera has a video resolution of 720p with a 180-degree field of view. It also has night vision technology and uses LED lights to allow you to capture images in the dark. Just like the doorbell camera that Vivint offers, the ADT Doorbell Camera has a slim sleek design. It also includes 2-way audio with noise reduction technology that will allow you to have crystal clear sound when communicating with someone via the doorbell. For power you will need existing doorbell wiring for this camera to work. A Wi-Fi connection is needed for the camera to sync and start communicating with your app.
The ADT Doorbell Camera will also start to record video when its motion detectors detect motion. The video itself can be viewed through the ADT app which works for iOS and Android devices.
Frontpoint Doorbell Camera
The last camera that we will be taking a look at today is Frontpoint’s doorbell camera. Out of all the other doorbell cameras we tend to like this one best because of its features, and the fact that Frontpoint uses Alarm.com services with this camera.
At Link Interactive, we use this exact same Skybell doorbell camera, and our monitoring plans tend to be a lot more affordable. Check us out.
The Skybell doorbell camera by Frontpoint has a video resolution of 720p with a 180-degree field of view. The video itself is really clear and has been highly rated from Frontpoint users of this camera.
This camera includes advanced night vision technology that will allow you to see captured video up to 8 feet away in the dark. Frontpoint’s doorbell camera also includes a 2-way omni-directional audio which will allow you to clearly and hear and communicate with the people in front of your door. This camera, like the others, is powered through your existing doorbell wiring. Most doorbell cameras connect via Wi-Fi and this camera is no different.
The video can be viewed through the Frontpoint app which is powered through Alarm.com. By the way, we too use Alarm.con at Link Interactive.
We really like the features that Alarm.com allows you to use with their video surveillance cameras. You can set custom alerts, receive push notifications, and customize the settings with the Alarm.com app. Also, Alarm.com ties in perfectly the features of your security system which allows for one cohesive security system.
