Smart doorbell: how to receive alerts if someone rings the doorbell

Installing a smart outdoor doorbell is not only a good security measure to install at home thanks to all its sensors, but it also functions as a guest management system, bringing its role closer to that of a virtual assistant and making life easier for owners of tourist accommodations.

What is a smart doorbell

A smart doorbell is a device that, in addition to performing doorbell functions, includes a whole series of security measures to have more accurate control over who is at the entrance. Furthermore, by having the doorbell connected to a mobile phone, it can send personalised notifications to its owner if something unusual happens or simply for security.  For example, the Raixer Pro model will alert you if it detects a party is being held at home thanks to its noise sensor.

How a smart doorbell works

It works as if it were a porter; it will remember who rang the doorbell and at what time, and thanks to its doorbell-to-mobile connection, it will notify us of any suspicious activity that occurs in front of its sensors, and it will store all records in the cloud so they can be consulted from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

It notifies you instantly

It can send you a notification saying that someone is ringing the doorbell, allowing you to decide whether or not to open the door from a mobile application. If you have employees or are expecting visitors or guests, you can open the door for them even if you are not at home. This measure provides peace of mind, as you have a greater sense of control even when you are away. Still, a security record of everyone who has requested access will be kept, as an extra security measure.

It opens with a call

If we add a user's phone number to the smart doorbell's database, they will be able to make a missed call to open the door, without the need for an extra secret code and maintaining security. Additionally, all interactions made with the doorbell will be saved as an extra security measure, whether they are missed calls or button presses. This is ideal if we have contracted personnel, such as cleaning or maintenance, as they will be able to access the house without waiting for you to open for them, but maintaining control and security.

Ring to open

If we want to organise spaces within the house or building we are managing, we can also include a smart doorbell indoors. Models like the Raixer Pro allow connecting up to three doors, so that entire rooms can be controlled even if they have several entrances. In this way, we can establish time slots with the “Ring to open” mode, which will give us access control over common areas, optimising their management, facilitating their maintenance, and preventing possible misuse. Brilliant as a security measure at home, and fantastic as a hybrid porter and virtual assistant in hotels and tourist accommodations, the smart doorbell presents itself as a fantastic multifunction tool that reinforces trust and saves us time and money.‍
