Why a wireless doorbell camera should be on your Christmas list

At PhoneWatch, Ireland's leading home security company, we have seen a massive increase in interest in our Wireless Doorbell Camera this year from our customers as an add-on to their home alarm. Using a doorbell camera has many benefits while also bringing an extra layer of protection to your home. Doorbell cameras are particularly useful during Christmas where they can be an excellent way to interact with visitors, capture festive moments, and monitor activity around your home.

There are many benefits to having a wireless doorbell camera for Christmas, other occasions, as well as all year around. Here are some ideas and tips for using a doorbell camera during Christmas:

• Greet Guests

Use your doorbell camera to greet visitors and family as they arrive for Christmas without needing to step away from the kitchen. You can use the two-way audio feature to communicate with them and tell them to come in if necessary.

• Manage Package Deliveries

With the increased number of online shopping and deliveries during the holiday season, a doorbell camera can help you keep an eye on packages being delivered to your doorstep. You'll be alerted when a delivery is made, and you can remotely check for package theft or retrieve your deliveries quickly.

• Safety and Security

During Christmas, there can be an increase in burglaries and other security risks as burglars know people may be out of home or have expensive gifts like an iPhone wrapped under their tree. A doorbell camera can act as a deterrent and provide valuable evidence if any security incidents occur. See one of our recent blogs on how a doorbell camera works for more information. 

• Remote Monitoring

If you're away from home for the holidays, you can still keep an eye on your property through your doorbell camera. The PhoneWatch doorbell cameras offers remote access and alerts, allowing you to check in from your smartphone.

• Notifications and Alerts

The PhoneWatch doorbell camera is designed to send notifications to alert you to any activity or motion at your front door through the PhoneWatch app. This ensures you don't miss any holiday deliveries or visitors.

• Keep Decorations safe

Set up your wireless doorbell camera so it can monitor the safety of your external decorations, such as Christmas lights and inflatables.

• Privacy Considerations

While doorbell cameras provide many benefits, be mindful of privacy concerns. Ensure your camera is positioned to respect the privacy of your neighbours and the public. Be careful that your Wireless Doorbell Camera does not capture footage from outside the boundaries of your home as it may infringe GDPR.

Remember to check the specific features and capabilities of your doorbell camera and customize the settings to suit your preferences and needs during the Christmas season. By doing so, you can make the most of your doorbell camera for both security and capturing festive moments.
