Wireless Doorbells offer both form and function


Wireless doorbells offer both form and function because they are available in huge range of designs and they can be installed without messy wires protruding or walls being broken into to accommodate the wires. These can be used comfortably in homes, offices, apartments or even mobile homes and are especially useful to those who live in rented places as the doorbell can be carried away with them. 

The price of these doorbells is not very high and they are pretty cheaply priced. Of course, there are the expensive models also with additional features like remote door chimes (Nutonedoorchimes are good) or with more elaborate designs but, on an average these doorbells are reasonably priced. Wireless doorbells have a range of 75 to 150 feet although some latest models offer a range of up to 300 feet. Some models also come with several bell receivers which can be placed conveniently in various areas of the house and are especially useful for basements or attics. These doorbells are mostly battery operated but many come in the plug-in variety also. 

Being portable, the bell receivers of wireless doorbells can be moved from one place to another in the house. Some of them even work nicely outside the house and you can carry it on a belt clip or something, if you are in the patio, garden etc. 

Wireless doorbells offer plenty of unique features which you will not find in any other kind of doorbells and for convenience’s sake, they are hard to beat.

Wired Doorbells have made a quiet comeback because of their many advantages


Doorbells are integral to the security of any home and they normally come in two varieties; wired doorbells and wireless doorbells. Earlier, only wired doorbells were available but with newer technology doorbells without wires or with remote door chimeshave become quite common. While doorbells without wires definitely have their own advantages, especially in the fact that there are no long wires to be taken care of, in many aspects the wired doorbells are still superior to them and are still preferred by many.

One of the main advantages of a wired doorbell is that its range is much higher than that of a wireless one because the wire from the button to the chime is a direct one. Doorbells without wires need to be placed nearer the door because of their limited range but with wired doorbells, this is not an issue. The reliability of connectivity is also better in a wired doorbell and its reach is more wide ranging. Although, the price of a wired doorbell is high because wires have to be laid through the house, no batteries are required for it and its life span is also of an average of ten years. This saves you a lot of money ultimately.

When it comes to wireless or wired doorbells, the choice is yours depending upon whether you want the convenience of a wireless home or the benefits of a long-reaching range with a wired doorbell but which can be heard throughout the house with clarity.
