It does have a backup battery, should your home suffer a blackout. This device depends on the low-voltage wiring that powers your existing analog or digital door chime and transformer so you might need to do a little wiring if your home uses a battery-powered doorbell, as mine does. And you can configure the device to send alerts to multiple mobile devices if you want more than one person to receive them. You don’t need to go to the door to see who’s there you don’t even need to be home. When someone pushes the button to ring your doorbell, Skybell’s cloud-based server sends a push notification to your smartphone to initiate a session with one-way video (so you can see them, but they can’t see you) and two-way audio (if you want to speak with the person). Skybell contains a wireless video camera, a two-way radio, and a wireless-networking module that connects to your home Wi-Fi.

It’s compatible with Honeywell Total Connect. This way, you use your smartphone to see-and talk to-the person on the other side of the door. But it requires you to put your eye right up to the hole, putting you in very close proximity to the person on the other side. Skybell had a better idea: A device that replaces your doorbell with a Wi-Fi camera and intercom. The peephole is a brilliant low-tech invention that lets you see who’s at your front door without having to open it. With this camera, you won’t have to worry about who’s at your door again.

Skybell HD in Silver is your solution to door and peephole security.
