Doorbell: tips on how to choose a doorbell for an apartment, cottage or private house. Description of the operating principle of the device

Types and types of doorbells

Doorbells come in two types: wired and wireless. You can also name such designs as retro devices, original “hammers”, repeated signals, bells with cords. Today, these latter varieties are practically not used and are relegated to the category of rare mechanisms.

Wired calls. Such designs are distinguished by a high degree of reliability, long service life, and weather conditions do not affect the service life.

• Wired calls operate from the network (220 V). The button is connected to the bell body by a two-core insulated wire.
• Wireless type of calls. Such structures do not require electricity; there is no need for various devices to connect them.
• The operating principle of this model is the activation of a radio signal.
• A wireless doorbell can only transmit an audio signal over short distances. In bad weather it may be completely absent.

It is worth paying attention to other types of door alarm devices.

Mechanical bell

To notify owners of the arrival of someone, a mechanical type of door signal is extremely rare today. It is used by those who like to decorate the exterior of their home in English, colonial, country genres, or in retro style.

It is often used for decorative purposes when decorating the front door. Such calls represent the simplest design and are quite easy to install. Mechanical products last much longer than their innovative counterparts.

Installation and operation

When installing an outdoor wireless bell, it is important to consider that all its characteristics, including range, are relevant only for ideal operating conditions. For example, the signal range is indicated based on tests in open space

If there are other buildings, tall trees, or other obstacles between the house and the gate, this figure will decrease significantly. In this case, you may need to additionally purchase a signal amplifier.

When choosing a location for installation, you should give preference to the option in which the device will be subject to the least impact between the signal transmitting and receiving parts. If there are solid metal barriers, using a wireless call is impractical. For other materials, the range reduction is:

• up to 20% for wooden surfaces;
• up to 40% for brick;
• up to 80% for walls made of reinforced concrete.

Setting up a wireless call starts with choosing a location. The simplest solution is installation on a support pole, on the front surface of a metal profile in a fence section. Sometimes a special mount or support is made for the bell. The easiest way is to use bells with 2-sided tape as fastening; here it is enough to first degrease the selected installation location and secure the communication module by removing the protective film from it. Sometimes there are additional holes for screws - in this case, the electronic device will be protected from theft.

It is optimal if the mount is removable: this is necessary for replacing batteries, charging the battery or seasonal storage. Wickets made from corrugated sheets are secured with special self-tapping screws and rubber gaskets to prevent corrosion.

The module located in the house is attached to double-sided tape, a nail or a self-tapping screw (if there is a hanging loop). If the receiver has a wired connection to the network, it should be placed close to an outlet.

Video call

Innovative technologies make doorbells equipped with a video camera popular today. The mechanism consists of several elements - a communication channel, a power supply, an electronic device for visual display, which is displayed on a TV or computer screen.

The reasons for setting the video signal are factors such as:

• Wide installation access;
• The ability to communicate with an interlocutor at a distance;
• Ease and convenience of operation;
• Remote use;
• Possibility of battery operation;
• Availability of various remote functions;
• The presence of a volume control.

In addition to calls made via video communication, the electronic equipment market offers such a model as a smart doorbell.

Protection class

This parameter is relevant when choosing an outdoor doorbell for a private home. The button for such a bell is installed on the gate and needs to be protected from external factors. Such models have a durable body with an anti-corrosion coating, and are often equipped with a visor that protects from rain. Outdoor doorbells are used at temperatures from -40°C to +40°C.

The protection class is written using the alphanumeric code IPXX, where the first digit indicates the degree of protection against dust, and the second - the degree of protection against moisture. Usually there are doorbells with the following classes of dust and moisture protection:

• IP20 – protection from foreign objects with a diameter of 12.5 mm or more, no protection from moisture;
• IP44 – protection against objects with a diameter of 1 mm or more, protection against water splashes from any direction;
• IP54 – dust-proof housing, splash protection from any direction;
• IP55 – dust-proof housing, protection from water jets from any direction;
• IP65 – dust-proof housing, protected from jets from any direction.

1. Most of these devices are easy and quick to install.
2. The devices are equipped with built-in components (camera, microphones, speakers).
3. Lightweight and easy to use.
4. You can open the door from different parts of the world.
5. It is possible not only to see who came, but also, if necessary, to record the identity of the person who came.
6. The combination of a smart bell and a smart lock is a guarantee of peace of mind for the home owner.

A few years ago, purchasing a doorbell was much easier than it is today. Because the range of these products was insignificant and the main criteria were cost, as well as size, color, and manufacturer.

The modern market offers a fairly wide range of doorbells, differing in many respects.

The distinguishing characteristics are:

• Ways of eating;
• Installation principles;
• Types of ringtones;
• Volume range;
• Design.

We should not forget that a specific type of call has individual characteristics, advantages and weaknesses.

Equipment

2 bells (receivers, speakers) – the ability to install one speaker near the front door, and the other in one of the rooms. Calls with this configuration are suitable for spacious apartments or private houses.

Batteries – allow you to use a wireless call immediately after purchase, without purchasing batteries separately.

Camera (video peephole ) - turns on when you press the bell button or when a visitor approaches the front door. The resulting photo or video is broadcast to a special display (included), smartphone, PC, tablet. Some models are equipped with infrared illumination and an answering machine.

Intercom – provides communication between the owner of the house and the guest. By the visitor's voice, the subscriber can find out who has arrived. Some models work in tandem with a camera.

Motion sensor - informs the owner of the house about the arrival of a guest before he presses the bell button. The motion sensor can turn on the camera.

Card reader, MP3 function – plays melodies recorded on a memory card from a computer. This way you can change the ringtone regularly.

What to pay attention to

Listening to the recommendations of experts, choosing and purchasing the right call to a private house or apartment will not be difficult.

1. If the doorbell is intended for a large house, you should opt for an electromechanical bell. Because from analogues this view will be heard from the far corners of the room. The other options sound much quieter.
2. The presence and variety of functionality greatly affects the cost of the device. Before purchasing such a model, you should weigh the pros and cons of such a filling. Whether you need a choice of melodies, or the ability to connect a device to a motion sensor, or any other “bells and whistles” - you’ll have to pay extra for everything.
3. If you plan to install the model outdoors, here's what you need to know. There are special street models that are designed in an appropriate way, i.e. equipped with a visor and a housing that protects the device from moisture. Moreover, these devices are made in such a way that they can withstand severe frosts and summer heat.
4. You need to keep in mind the high level of response of wireless models to various interferences.
5. Be careful when choosing a sound signal. Before purchasing, you should listen to the sound once again, so that later you don’t have to either deal with irritability or buy a new product.

The essence of the functioning of a doorbell is quite simple - press the button, receive a signal. Therefore, there should be no problem with the question of how to connect a doorbell. The bell connection diagram is very similar to the connection plan for an electrical switch.

A phase is connected to the key associated with the doorbell, and a zero is connected to the bell. To make it clearer: there is a phase break in the button. By pressing a key, a condition is created for closing the electrical circuit and playing sound. A device connected to 220 V will function as long as there is electricity in the network.

The situation is somewhat different with connecting a remote doorbell. This option is possible only in the case where there is a complete absence of communications and no other connection versions are observed.

Such calls are installed by the owner of the house without special skills. The bell is simply attached to the surface in any convenient way. An inconvenience when using a wireless call is the need to update the batteries quite often.

In today's life, a doorbell plays the role of an assistant in protecting the home. High-quality, creatively designed doorbells equipped with all the necessary functionality not only contribute to the comfort of their owners, but are also able to reflect their subjectivity and emphasize their individual position.

Selection rules

When choosing a doorbell, it is recommended to consider the following points:

Device type

In this case, it is enough to study the advantages and disadvantages of each option in order to make the right choice.

Volume adjustment

This allows you to set the sound that suits the user.

Radius of action

When choosing a model based on this parameter, take into account the type of room for which the bell is used. So, for apartments you can use any device. The range of action from the button to the main unit is important if the product is purchased for a private home. So, most models have an indicator of 80-150 meters.

If a larger range is required, then you should pay attention to devices with an increased range. In addition, it is taken into account that the signal transmission range decreases in the presence of obstacles in the form of metal or concrete partitions or structures.

Volume level

It is measured in decibels. For apartments, 60-70 dB is sufficient. Such a call will be clearly audible even for users with hearing problems when household appliances are running.

For private homes, it is best to purchase models with a volume level of 80-100 dB. This ensures that the call can be heard from anywhere in the house.

Number of melodies

This indicator is taken into account when purchasing an electronic device or video call. The simplest devices have 1 melody, “advanced” ones – up to 60. The type of signals is also taken into account. These can be sounds of nature, songs, melodies, etc. In this case, it all depends on the user's preferences. It is also taken into account that the more melodies, the higher the cost of the products.

Protection class

This indicator is important if the device is purchased for a private home. In this case, the protection class must be at least IP55. For an apartment, you can use any device, since apartment buildings are always warm, dry and there are no sudden temperature changes.

Possibility to mute sound

Thanks to this option, you don’t have to worry that someone will disturb your household at an inconvenient time for them.

Availability of indicator light

It allows you to find out about a visitor's visit even when the sound is turned off.

Brand

Experts advise choosing doorbells from trusted manufacturers. Well-known companies, as a rule, provide a long warranty period for their products, which allows you to exchange the device if it breaks down, or have it repaired at the expense of the organization.

Price

It all depends on the size of the budget. If it is limited, then you can purchase an inexpensive but high-quality device with minimal functionality. When funds allow, choose any model without focusing on its cost.

Advice from an expert

The opinion on which doorbell is best to buy was provided by a sales consultant who specializes in selling the relevant equipment.

Smirnov Andrey Dmitrievich, sales consultant, work experience - more than 5 years

I advise my customers to purchase electromechanical and electronic doorbells. Although the first ones do not have melodies, but a standard signal, they serve for a long period without any malfunctions. Electronic products have advanced functionality, but can quickly fail, especially for budget devices.

Based on the type of connection, I still recommend purchasing wired models. They pass the signal through any overlap, and you don’t have to constantly change batteries. As they say, set it and forget it. As for video calls, they are suitable for private homes or businesses. It makes no sense to buy them for your apartment and overpay, because you can always look through the peephole to see who came.

How to choose

Before purchasing an electric doorbell, you first need to decide on the installation location. If it will be installed inside the apartment, then you don’t have to worry too much, since any modification will do. For an individual home, it is advisable to buy a wireless product. It will make it possible not to pull the wire from the gate.

On the street, the external button will constantly be exposed to all sorts of external influences. The fundamental condition for such a call will be the presence of a specialized spray that protects against water ingress. Equally, this device should be able to withstand temperature changes very well.

In addition, a visor is also required. It will provide additional protection from the rays of the sun, snow, rain and dust. The most important thing is that the safety components do not in any way interfere with the passage of the sound signal. When purchasing a street modification, you must also take into account the fact that the device can be stolen. Specialized modifications are available that have a metal anti-vandal casing.

In order for a wired doorbell to work for a long time, when purchasing it you need to follow a few simple tips. Such devices should be purchased at special retail outlets. A qualified sales consultant will help you navigate the parameters of a particular model and find a suitable option.

When purchasing a device, you must listen to it. The ringing sound can be standard or in the form of some kind of melody.

Design approach and appearance also matter. An electric doorbell not only fulfills its key task, but is also an integral part of the interior, therefore, it should be selected in accordance with the interior design of the room.

At the moment, a doorbell is a rather complex device, which, in addition to informing the owners about the arrival of visitors, has a lot of other effective options, in connection with this, its purchase must be approached thoroughly and with full responsibility.

Basic limitations of installing wireless calls

• Exposure to high or low temperatures can damage power supplies or microcircuits. Therefore, you should pay attention to the technical parameters of the operating conditions of the call when purchasing.
• The number of massive concrete and steel barriers should be kept to a minimum, since the transmitted signal from the button will be absorbed and the wireless call will not work.
• The distance from the button to the main unit must be within a reliable signal transmission zone. Usually it is up to 100 m, but you need to leave a small margin of up to 20% so that in the event of temporary obstacles the signal is not lost.

Connection rules

The rules for installing doorbells depend on the type of device.

Wired

To connect wired products, you need to follow the following guide:

• Determine where the doorbell will be installed. The device consists of two parts - a button and a main block. Therefore, a place for the bell will be required indoors and outdoors.
• The network is de-energized. To do this, turn off all relevant machines.
• Make a hole in the wall from the main block to the button. The device connection cable is laid through it.

• Lay wires from the network to the bell connection point. If external wiring is used, then it is simply fixed to the wall with special fasteners or installed in a box. In the case of using internal wiring, the surface is grooved and the cables are fixed into the resulting recesses.

• Turn on the power supply. To do this, the corresponding machines are activated.
• Check the functionality of the call by pressing a button. If the job is done correctly, the device will make a corresponding sound. If there is no signal, deactivate the electricity again and check the connection by checking the diagram. If deficiencies are found, they are eliminated, the electricity is turned on and the test is repeated.

Advantages and disadvantages

When the main differences between wireless models and standard electric ones have already become clear, you should turn your attention to the advantages and disadvantages of such products. Of course, many nuances depend on the brand and country of origin of a particular device, but you can derive a general list of pros and cons for all such products.

Advantages of wireless doorbell models:

• No wires. During installation, you do not need to pull meters of cable, which is especially important when using a bell for the street. You don't need to drill walls, hide wires, or spoil the appearance of the interior. The power supply is predominantly autonomous and does not depend on the availability of electricity.
• Easy to install. It is very easy to secure the device, which is directly related to the absence of wires.
• Ease of use. The bell is convenient to use for both visitors and home owners.
• Ability to use complex kits. You can purchase additional components, as well as a complex set for placing several buttons and speakers in different parts of the house.
• Possibility of re-weighing. If there is such a need, you can easily change the location of any part of the device without unnecessary hassle.
• Attractive design. You can choose the optimal model in color and shape, with a body made of almost any material. At the same time, it will not spoil the overall appearance of the room or the entrance to the house.

The main and main advantage of a wireless call is the absence of wires

We must not forget about the presence of certain shortcomings, but this does not mean that all devices of this type have such negative characteristics. Typically, such features are typical for cheap, low-quality models.

Disadvantages of wireless doorbell models:

• Poor fastening. This is especially true for Velcro models. If handled roughly, under unfavorable conditions, or simply due to wear or poor-quality adhesive coating, the device may fall from a height and receive serious damage, including complete damage to the case and internal contents.
• Frequently replace batteries. Some wireless calls are powered entirely by batteries, and the energy consumption is quite significant. It is necessary to constantly monitor the presence of charge in the device and carry out timely replacement, which can result in an extra amount of expenses for the family budget.
• Jamming. If exposed to moisture and dust, severe frost, or if the contacts are displaced, the button may jam and ring spontaneously or not work at all.
• No signal. Such a defect is possible if the quality of perception of the signal from the button deteriorates, as well as due to failures in the mechanism. The button may then indicate that a signal has been given, but the sound will not actually be played.
• Easy to steal. Since the button is not connected to wires, it will be easy to remove for the purpose of theft or simple vandalism.

To minimize the number of possible shortcomings, it is necessary to approach the issue of choosing a product with great responsibility.

Help from modern technologies in making and receiving calls

Modern technologies make it possible to improve the quality of telephone sales, control negotiations, collect and analyze data on them. The main telephony tools that are suitable for any company:

• Virtual (cloud) PBX. It has many functions: multi-channel number, IVR voice menu, call recording, mass processing of incoming and outgoing calls. Virtual ATC Mango allows you to create a safe communication environment within the company, increase the speed and performance of sales, and improve the quality of customer service. Choose a tariff that suits your needs and business level.

• CRM system. Allows you to record and analyze customer data and make calls in a semi-automatic mode.
• Virtual number in the client’s country or city. Buyers are much more willing to interact with phone numbers in their country or city.
• Static and dynamic Call tracking. The essence of call tracking is to assign each advertising source its own telephone number. This way you can track the most effective advertising channels.
• Call-back and Call-me. The first tool involves a quick call from the manager to the client. The second is the buyer’s call to the operator (it is advisable to use free calls).
• Chatbot. Processes online requests, corresponds with users, saves customer data, connects the consumer with the operator if necessary.

Replacing the device

Sometimes it becomes necessary to replace certain parts of equipment. In the event that work is carried out with a wireless type of device, then often there are simply no difficulties. You just need to remove the unusable button and install a new one in its place.

A small number of components and the absence of wires make it easy to identify a failed device

There are practically no difficulties in connection with the repair of wired calls. Especially if the replacement is made with a similar model. Thus, you need to dismantle the button and the main bell unit, disconnect them from each other and, of course, disconnect them from the power supply. Then connect the new device as described above.

Repairs on such models involve replacing batteries.

There are times when a breakdown occurs due to damage to the wire. In order to restore the operation of the device, it is necessary to remove the worn wiring and place a new one in its place. If at this moment the mechanical bell is going to be changed to an electronic model, then some problems may occur during the installation process.

The absence of a signal from a wired device means ringing of the supply wires

The fact is that for the first type, power is supplied from the network, but the second type is powered from built-in or external devices. And therefore, to change such equipment it will be necessary to carry out additional construction work. But you can go another way:

1. First, you need to remove the originally installed bell, and in its place install a new device, which should include a transformer and a voltage rectifier.
2. A new electronic bell is connected to the rectifier contacts. In this case, the installed transformer must provide a voltage of 10–12 V. This additional device must be placed in a special box and the necessary circuits must be connected using pre-insulated wires.

During periodic maintenance, it is useful to check the integrity of the wire contacts

How to install an electric lock on a gate, see the link.

Operating principle

Once you understand this, it’s easy to understand how to connect a call. It consists of a magnetic system with a contact group. When voltage is applied by pressing the button (the circuit is closed), the armature is attracted to the core. A hammer located at the end of the movable contact, periodically striking the metal cup, initiates the appearance of sound waves.

Consequently, the bell is always connected in such a way that current flows through the winding of its magnetic system when the button contacts are closed.

It turns out, nothing special. Any doorbell connection diagram (and it is not difficult to develop it yourself) is based on this principle. And no matter what kind of signaling device is purchased, or how the wires are laid, nothing changes. If we are talking about wireless modification, it’s even simpler. Here you don’t have to think about how to connect. The main thing is not to confuse their poles (“+” and “–”) when installing batteries.
