Advantages of a Skybell HD Video Doorbell

ATP is now offering the Skybell HD Video Doorbell

At American Total Protection (ATP) , we are always on the lookout for more efficient and reliable home safety infrastructure or systems. Our aim is always to deliver value to our customers and that is why we have started to offer the Skybell HD Video Doorbell.

Yes, we know that Skybell has been on the market for a while. But, as we only offer value to our customers, we waited for improvements to their system, especially with video quality. Therefore, we feel confident in recommending it to our customers.

Disadvantages of Traditional Doorbell Systems
Traditional doorbells have several disadvantages that leave you and your homes vulnerable to security risks. Two of the more serious ones include:

  • Having to go to the door to verify who is there and therefore letting the person know that you are home if that is not what you wish.
  • If you are not there to answer, thieves can realize that no one is home and therefore target your property.

How the Skybell HD Video Doorbell Works
The Skybell HD Video Doorbell features a high-definition camera of 1080 pixels in your doorbell that is connected to your phone or another smart device. Once someone presses your door buzzer, it sends a live video feed directly to your smartphone so that you can see who is at the door. It also allows you to have a two-way conversation with the person at the door without having to physically go to the door.

With the two-way audio system , you can speak with the person outside whether or not you are home. When a thieve comes by to canvass your home you can pretend to be home by speaking with him/her through the two-way audio, even when you are out of the country.

You can live stream the video at your door at any time anywhere whether anyone is at the door or not. You can also:

  • Record and download each video for future use.
  • Review the day’s activities at the end of the day

The app also offers the ultimate in convenience. You can turn off the ringer from the app so that the household, or a sleeping baby, is not disturbed if someone rings the doorbell.
