Make Wireless Door Chimes Part Of Your Security System

Every home needs wireless door chimes. Not only are they a nice convenience, but also they can become an integral part of your wireless security system. Today’s chimes and doorbells can be integrated into smart systems to provide added protection and information when you are away.

First of all, door chimes that are wireless have an advantage over hardwired doorbells because of their ease of installation. You simply mount the button outside your door, and plug the receiver into any standard electrical outlet. No wires to run means your new door chime is functioning within minutes.

Many will allow you to add additional receivers in other areas of your home so that you can hear the doorbell regardless of where you are located. Or you can purchase CD quality door chimes, which are much louder than regular chimes, usually eliminating the need for additional receivers.

How Your Chime Can Work with Your Security System

Probably the most intriguing thing about a wireless chime is its ability to be part of your home’s smart system. If you’re interested in keeping track of all the activity going on at home when you’re not there, your door chime can help provide some of that information. Your smart system can keep track of your door chime’s activity, letting you know exactly at what time your doorbell rang. If you choose, you can even receive an email alert when the doorbell rings!

Door chimes can be purchased at any local home improvement center for about $30. CD quality chimes will cost you around $80, but may be more cost effective if they eliminate the need for additional receivers. We all know that having door chimes is a necessity, but combining wireless chimes with your home’s smart technology can give doorbells a whole new life!
