Abode Wireless Video Doorbell: Versatile Multi-Function Smart Home Device For Utmost Security

Our home is the only place in the world where we allow ourselves to be vulnerable because of the familial comfort, security and peace that it brings. While some homes have already installed a security kit, others still look for extra measures for additional layers of protection, this includes installing a video doorbell. Abode introduces a new product called Abode Wireless Video Doorbell, which is perfect for those looking to up their security system a notch higher.

Advanced motion detection capability

Like all other video doorbells available in the market today, the camera of the Abode Wireless Video Doorbell supports Abode Smart Detect. This is an advanced video performance specification that sends notifications to users if it detects a person.

Additionally, it features a motion-activated LED ring that captures people's attention as they approach. Abode also said future updates of its new Wireless Video Doorbell will include package and pet detection capabilities.

Full-color night vision prowess

One of the major factors homeowners consider while purchasing a video doorbell is its capability to relay clear images at night. Interestingly, the Abode Wireless Video Doorbell is designed to function in extremely low light conditions.

It is equipped with a built-in Starlight sensor that provides full-color night vision capabilities for a far clear video stream. Moreover, the device still relays images even if there is no light or the area is pitch black, but the images are in black and white.

Totally wireless and versatile

Unlike other video doorbells, the Abode Wireless Video Doorbell does not require hardwiring since it sources its power from a battery. It is a versatile device that homeowners can place in areas where wired doorbells are impossible to install.

Apart from those, the device features a simple wire-free installation process that does not require installers to have technical or electrical knowledge. Since installation is simple, it can be completed in just a few minutes.

The new smart home video doorbell from Abode has a housing with an IP65 rating to protect the device from different types of weather. Furthermore, it comes with a lockable installation bracket that helps the device to mount directly and securely to the door or any surface.

Recording capability, quick connectivity, multi-functionality

The Abode Wireless Video Doorbell instantly synchronizes with the companion Abode Chime. The doorbell camera and the chime work hand in hand to form a dedicated wireless network connection that directly fosters device-to-device communication.

As a result, it reduces connectivity issues and cuts down interference usually caused by other wireless devices. Because of this, the device delivers a more stable and reliable video performance.

Once installed in its designated place, the Abode Wireless Video Doorbell can function in multiple ways. Users can use it as a two-way communication device or stream real-time or live-view.

If users upgrade the Abode Wireless Video Doorbell to a Standard or Pro plan of the company, it can record video clips if a person or a motion is detected and save it to the cloud. The device is also capable of recording a short clip whenever the doorbell is pushed or via the Abode App.

Apart from those, the compact Abode Wireless Video Doorbell is WiFi-enabled and can be used as a standalone device, or alongside a gateway for advanced security automation and features. To top it all, it works seamlessly with personal assistants like Hey Google and Amazon Alexa.

Other features

The Abode Wireless Video Doorbell sports an HD 2K doorbell camera with a 160-degree field of view (FOV). It has up to six months of battery life with just a single charge while the doorbell and chime connect over WiFi.

Interestingly, its button is equipped with an LED ring that activates a chime and sends notifications almost instantly. Furthermore, it has a smart person detection feature that intelligently detects people and reduces motion alerts.
