Things to look out for when buying a wireless doorbell:

Some doorbells can boast their features, but it's worth being wary of what a unique feature or a basic element every smart doorbell should have.

Is it really wireless?

The main thing to be cautious of is if the doorbell is truly wireless. While we were finding the best wireless doorbells on the market, we came across a few that looked promising. However, they were listed as wireless but weren't.

All truly wireless doorbells will be easy to install with the provided fixings. If a doorbell requires an electrician to install, it's not a wireless option.

We also found that there are smart cameras and security devices that you can connect to your existing doorbell. While they are wireless, they require a wired doorbell to be in place to work properly.

Is it weatherproof?

Of course, it is! A lot of wireless doorbells will boast how weatherproof they are. While some may have waterproof ratings, as standard, all of the best doorbells will be weatherproof to withstand temperatures and climates outside the home.

What do you need?

If you already have a vigorous security system or feel it unnecessary to have a kitted-out doorbell with video, motion detection or app connectivity, a simple chime wireless doorbell might suit you better for what you actually need.

If you have a relative with dementia or Alzheimer's who lives on their own, it's worth considering a video or app-connected wireless doorbell to help keep an eye on any visitors that come to their door.

With the ability to talk through the doorbell system, too, you can speak to your loved one or the visitor to explain their condition. This will help give them their privacy whilst making sure they stay safe and cared for.
