SkyBell Video Doorbells

            Staying safe in today’s changing world requires a lot of different pieces working together in a cohesive way. As experts in security, we are always exploring new ways to help our clients secure their homes and businesses. Some of these come in the form of new services we can offer, including suggesting and installing new hardware options that operate entirely in parallel to your traditional security system .

            The SkyBell line of video doorbells are a great example of the next step you can take to protect your home, family, and property. For a one-time purchase fee you can add a permanent, subscription-free layer to the security of your home, with live monitoring and automatic motion-activated recording, powered continuously by your existing doorbell’s wiring, accessible from anywhere on your smartphone.

            Unlike many camera systems, the SkyBell Video Doorbell is also suited to Maine’s challenging climate. It’s rate to operate from -40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It also has another advantage over traditional video camera surveillance systems, it allows you to engage in two way audio communication. Meaning that you can still talk to anyone who you want to see that drops by while you’re away. This can be especially helpful for talking to people who regularly have to access your home when you’re busy such as house cleaners and pet sitters. Forget to leave a note? No problem, just say hi and let them know in real time when they arrive.

            With sleek, modern silver and black models that can fit virtually any aesthetic while remaining visible enough to act as a deterrent, SkyBell video doorbells are a great addition to any home. Whether you’re concerned about packages being stolen from your porch, want to be able to monitor your home when you’re away, or just know who’s at the door before you answer it, the subscription-free business model SkyBell boasts means that you can use the hardware we install for years to come and the investment will repay its initial cost many times over its lifetime.
            Adding to the long term value of your SkyBell video doorbell is the savings on homeowner’s insurance that comes with it . Just like with a traditional security system, many insurance companies will discount your insurance when you have a SkyBell video doorbell, some companies by as much as 5% thanks to the powerful deterrent these devices offer against burglaries and casual theft. Added to its reasonable price and a lack of a subscription fee, it is a no brainer investment in your peace of mind.
