iDoorCam WiFi Doorbell

I found this iDoorCam very innovative in the way it is conceptualized and built. The build quality looks premium. It is a WiFi enabled smart doorbell that allows you to answer your door no matter where you are or what you’re doing. The device has a video camera, microphone and a speaker that allows you to see, hear and speak to your visitor. 



How It Works

When a visitor comes to your door, they’ll press the button on the front of the device, just like your current door bell. This prompts an alert on your mobile device and you can accept or decline the call. If you accept, you’ll see a video feed on your screen and you can see, hear and speak to your visitor. At the same time, your visitor will hear you through the speaker on the iDoorCam device. You can receive the feed on your mobile devices over WiFi, 3G, 4G and LTE.

You will also be able to hear your normal doorbell chime and you’ll have the option to disable the home chime and/or the mobile alerts.


The major hardware components

a) IR Camera 
b) Mic and Speaker
c) Push button with an LED indicator
d) Motion sensor
e) WiFi Module

The App

Always keep an eye on your door with the free iDoorCam app. You can see, hear and speak to the person at your door from anywhere you have wi-fi or cellular signal.

When a visitor presses the button, you will receive a push notification to all your devices on the account for that camera. Answer the call or decline if you don't want to speak to them... it's up to you.
