Video doorbells
Answer the door from anywhere
Know who is at the door before you open it, speak with visitors and delivery drivers from your phone, and get notified about activity at your entrance. Installed and set up properly.
What it solves
Opening the door blind
Not knowing who is outside until the door is already open.
Missed deliveries
Packages left out of sight, or drivers who leave without a word.
Notification overload
Badly set up doorbells alert you to every passing car until you stop paying attention.
Unclear costs
Many doorbells depend on a subscription for some features, and that is not always clear at purchase.
Key benefits
Visitor awareness
See who is at the door on your phone, or on a supported screen or display.
Motion notifications
Alerts for activity at your entrance, tuned so they stay useful.
Two-way communication
Speak with visitors and delivery drivers without opening the door.
Package and entry visibility
A clear view of your doorstep and the approach to your door.
Available solutions
Wired doorbells
Use your existing doorbell wiring for continuous power. We check the wiring and transformer first.
Battery-powered doorbells
For homes without suitable wiring. They need periodic charging.
Subscription considerations
Some features depend on a paid plan from the manufacturer. We tell you which before you choose.
Storage options
Doorbells differ in how and where any video is kept: on a device in your home, in the manufacturer’s cloud, or not at all. We explain the options for each product at a high level.
Ecosystem compatibility
- Apple Home
- Google Home
- Amazon Alexa
Some video doorbells work with Apple Home, Google Home or Amazon Alexa, and many offer only part of their features through each. Live view, notifications and chimes can differ by ecosystem.
Compatibility with Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa differs by product and by feature. We confirm what works with your ecosystem during your consultation, before you buy anything.
Installation and setup
Step 1: Consultation
We visit your home, or meet on a video call, to understand how you live, what you want to protect and which ecosystem you already use.
Step 2: Entrance assessment
We check wiring, power, mounting position and Wi-Fi strength at the door.
Step 3: Selection
You choose a doorbell, with its subscription and storage options explained, and its ecosystem support confirmed.
Step 4: Installation
We mount the doorbell at the right height and angle, and connect power and chime.
Step 5: Notification setup
We set up the app, your household, and motion areas and alerts so notifications stay meaningful.
Step 6: Setup and training
We connect everything to your app and ecosystem, set up the people in your household, and walk you through day-to-day use.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a subscription?
It depends on the doorbell and the features you want. We tell you which features need a plan, and what it costs, before you choose.
Does ZeinHomes see my video?
No. Your doorbell connects to your own account. We do not store or view your footage.
Will it work with my existing chime?
Many wired doorbells can, and some need a small adapter. We check your chime during the consultation.
Is my Wi-Fi strong enough at the door?
We test it. If the signal is weak, we will tell you and suggest options before installation.
