Nothing is more annoying than waiting all day for a package to arrive, only to miss it when it does. The best smart doorbells can fix this problem, allowing you to see what's happening at your door, get notifications sent to your phone, and even speak to people without needing to physically answer the door. In short, it makes life a lot easier and, at a time when we're all spending more time at home than ever before, it can also serve as a home security system keeping you and your family safe.
If you already have a doorbell, many wired models are able to connect to existing wiring, while others may require you to get expert installation. Wireless doorbells, however, are super-easy to set up and use, only requiring a Wi-Fi connection and the means to mount it onto the wall. These could also be a great option if you rent or plan to move in the near future.
Whether wired or wireless, smart and video doorbells fit perfectly into a wider security set-up. If you're interested in investing in better safety, take a look at our roundup of the best security cameras.
