With optical tech that uses a wide-angle lens instead of a fish-eye lens, you’ll be able to see more of the action taking place just outside, and will also be privy to a better quality video feed. In fact, a Remocam spokesperson claimed, you’ll have a 120-degree field of view from right to left, and a 90-degree field of view from top to bottom. But more impressively still, the RemoBell has a heat-sensing motion detector, which means that unless there’s body heat and motion, the device won’t be activated. This way, you’ll avoid accidentally triggering the doorbell with an insect, or a particularly strong gust of wind. And with the newfangled doorbell’s infrared LEDs, the camera will also work well in low-light situations.
“The RemoBell is simple to set up and use, affordable, and perfectly blends in with your home,” said Paul Lee, Remocam co-founder. “Our app provides real-time access to your front door, with two-way communication that allows you to see and speak to your visitors using your smartphone. The product is a nice complement to our Remocam security camera, which provides HD live-streaming monitoring inside the home.”
The RemoBell won’t be available until the summer, but when it does hit the market, you can expect to pay $199 for the smartest doorbell you’ve ever owned.
