Wouldn’t it be nice to know who’s ringing your doorbell before you actually get up to answer the door? If you can spare $200 American (€150), SkyBell Technologies has the perfect solution for you.

SkyBell is a smart video doorbell that connects to your home’s WiFi network and sends you notifications whenever someone’s at your door. You can set it to give you a video feed even if the person does’t touch the doorbell, making it a great way to send burglars running (like the embedded video above shows).

“When a visitor presses the button, SkyBell sends you a live video feed and you can see, hear and speak to the person at your door whether you’re at home, at work or abroad,” says the company that sells it.

After buying and installing the doorbell, users must download the free SkyBell Doorbell app from iTunes. That’s all there is to it. Sounds like a winner! What do you think?
