Door Chimes
A door chime serves as an audible warning that someone is near or has entered your home through a door. Home Security Store has several different door chimes and accessories, plus a couple of driveway alarms and enunciators which can be used as door chimes.
If you opt not to have or can’t afford a complete home alarm system, a door chime can be an alternative solution – however, it is not a replacement. Furthermore, if you already do have an alarm system in place a door chime can be that extra layer of home protection that you need. Door chimes can integrate a motion detector that operates with infrared technology, therefore guests or intruders will not know that they are about to be tracked. On the other hand, door chimes can be operate intentionally by a guest with the push of a button.
Door chimes can be hooked up to work with your existing doorbell system as well. With the push of a button, or with the trip of a sensor, the entire household can hear that someone is at the front door. Whichever door chime system you opt for you can set up your receiver or speaker near or in the backyard, so you can even hear the entrance of your guest (or intruder) as you plant your garden or take a dip in the pool. A door chime will give you the extra time you need to greet your guest, or in more dire circumstances, that extra time you need to get out, hit the alarm panic button, defend yourself, or call the police.
