Here is a guide that will help you decide how to surprise your guests when they ring the doorbell at your house.

Wired doorbells
These type of doorbells are traditional doorbells that make a sound, which is triggered by a switch located inside the doorbell button. The switch inside the button triggers a mechanism that results in the production of sound on the other end. These doorbells are one of the most common types of bells and are typically fitted into the electrical system of a home during construction. They do not require a battery and hence, they are cost-effective and require low maintenance. Wired doorbells depend on electricity so they are extremely reliable. They last up to 10 years or even more as compared to wireless doorbells.

Wireless doorbells
These doorbells have been around for quite some time now and they have changed how we ring doorbells by changing the whole setup. These doorbells can be placed exactly like the wired doorbells: outside the door but their speaker can be placed at random places in the house to increase the hearing range. Moreover, if you have a big house, you can use multiple ring units, so that you hear the doorbell no matter where you are. These doorbells are very easy to install and most of them are powered by a battery. Some of the models also have the option to be connected to an AC or DC power. Therefore, they can be connected to electricity when needed. You will also find wireless doorbells that have inbuilt cameras and some are also designed to connect to your smart-phone and record the activity at the door of your house.

Smart doorbells
These doorbells come in both wired and wireless models. The wireless models connect to your home Wi-Fi while the wired doorbells connect to the phone’s Ethernet. While buying a smart doorbell, you have to ensure that it is compatible with your smart-phone; otherwise, you won’t be able to use most of the features offered by this smart device. Smart doorbells let you watch videos of your door while you were away. It also offers features like built-in night vision, live view, zoom, and two-way speakers, which let you talk to a visitor standing at your door.
