Part 1: Should We Put a Bell in Addition to a Videophone?

Bell or videophone? In many cases, the choice of videophone outweighs that of the doorbell. But, this signaling system traditionally used around the world, keeps evolving and presenting new forms. Should we, in this case, dispense with the services of this toy very resounding or simply ring the meeting between these two signaling systems, doorbell and videophone, which decorate our inputs and secure a certain way?

The videophone revolution is underway

The videophone is one of the most complete intercoms available. It offers better guarantees in terms of security. The user of this system can at any time verify the physical identity of a person, his expression at the time of his arrival, his look. Thanks to this mean, exit the pests, spoilers, the mother-in-law who arrives without announcing too often ...

Unlike the audio intercom system, with the videophone, it is not once the conversation started that you discover your interlocutor. A glance at the screen and you already know what decision to take in any discretion.

Also, really thinking of installing a bell at your entrance, while a videophone must be installed or already installed, you must take into account certain criteria including the opportunity of this decision. But above all, should you choose a particular videophone?

The choice of videophone

Neighboring a wifi doorbell, the videophone must not respond normally to any particular criterion. If it is wireless, it will make some slight connections with the ring, and if it is too wide, it will be necessary to install it so that the videophone is not an impediment to the installation of the bell. All you have to do this is to pay attention to the details.

So, do you have to put a doorbell in addition to a videophone?

The bell, an extra measure

Doorbell and videophone form a particularly effective shock tandem when the intercom is momentarily out of order. These malfunctions can be attributed to different origins depending on the type of intercom.

For example, with a wireless intercom, it can be interference, low battery, bad adjustment box... While the wired intercom can be out of order for electricity issues, weather-related troubles and sometimes problems created voluntarily by people from bad times.

In this case, the doorbell is a palliative. While waiting for the repair work, it will allow your visitors to announce their presence, which will always be better than the total absence of the announcement system. The presence of a bell does not conflict with that of a videophone.
