Gone are the days when a doorbell was just a button that triggered a tinny chime somewhere in the house. Now, thanks to smart tech, the humble doorbell has had a serious upgrade. These days, it’s all about seeing who’s at your door from wherever you are in the world, chatting to delivery drivers remotely, and even recording footage of visitors for added security. Companies like Ring have paved the way for this tech revolution, and now others are stepping in with their own takes. Take Swann, for instance – an Aussie company that’s made a name for itself of late in the smart home security market.
Swann’s latest offering, the SwannBuddy4K, takes the concept of a video doorbell to the next level with ultra-clear 4K video resolution, built-in local storage, and even a voice assistant to handle awkward interactions for you. It’s packed with features, but does it live up to rivals like Yale and Ring, the latter of which has cemented itself as the leader in smart doorbell gadgets over the last few years.
